I should start posting songs from whichever band I'm wearing a shirt of, so here's Ulthar's Cosmovore, Lovecraftian blackened death metal from VA. Chaotic but with good riffs that aren't just mindless technicality that death metal can kind of fall into.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

I think it leads to better outcomes for people as well. If you’re passionate about something, you’ll find some measure of success, whether it’s life satisfaction, financial, or both.

When I used to subject myself to the various programming and dev career subs on Reddit, there was a lot of This Guy. They hated the craft and just wanted the check.

Inevitably they learned this was a recipe for stagnation and burnout and hated their lives. The demands of the field make it very

It reminds me of a certain AI loving ultraconservative type on Twitter. How he told me how much he hated programming and how happy he was to not have to do it because of AI anymore.

And all I could think was how awful a place software would be if you hated programming, mechanical sympathy, etc.

Elixir of Progress @elucidating.extradimensional.space · 11h

I see this a lot and I think a lot of folks don't understand the idea of, you know, liking what you do or enjoying your job.

I don't use AI for work because I love it. I use it for parts where I feel like I'm forced to in order to keep up.

There was a lot of early discourse here about it that really frustrated me because it seemed to erase those for whom it was completely debilitating. One of my collaborators in grad school worked exclusively with these kids and it is very very rough for them. It makes sense because those kids aren’t

Why Is Circumcision So Popular in America?

This article was published January 5, 2015. The recent decision by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to endorse circumcision as a prophylactic measure against disease has on…

If you really want to go for a racism angle, the more likely tack (and not nearly related to today) was that poor southern Europeans immigrating to the us in the early 1900s were not circumcised.

But really today it’s about hygiene and medical authority recommendations.

The Fresh Prince of Donscare @erisianrite.com · 13h

No, not really. It was strongly pushed in the 80s that it was more hygienic and reduced the risk of disease (STDs and those from improper cleaning), and it’s still pushed today by the CDC and AAP (although in the last few years I believe they’ve softened their stance, pardon the pun)

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

I’m learning that this was distressingly common (it was done at my wife’s school when she was maybe 8 and traumatized her) amongst the evangelicals.

Snowden St. @snowden.st · May 14

Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.

This happened to my wife when she was 8 or 9 using the exact same tactic at her private Christian school (before anyone gets any ideas it was a ramshackle portable behind a church in then-rural north Florida) and it was done by the preacher’s kids (but they were in masks). My MIL was furious and
