There’s a word for that but I can’t remember. Like saying ATM machine.
I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.
Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.
One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?
I’ll allow it, but only if we can somehow put the same flashing red banner on top of politicians in real life.
There’s a reason they call it the tragedy of the commons.
Edit: The full paper is available online if anyone is interested. Here’s a copy from a university in Michigan. https://pages.mtu.edu/~asmayer/rural_sustain/governance/Hardin 1968.pdf
I love jay as a creator but he gets things wrong on occasion. Example: he recently made a video suggesting that everyone running nvidia on windows use software to force rebar on globally, which is KNOWN to break games or cause performance issues (which is why it isn’t enabled globally in the first place.) At the end of the day he is still a creator driven by the algorithm and metrics for his livelihood so you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt.
I don’t know why they aren’t more common! It seems like such an energy saver.
I really want a double-drawer dishwasher so that I never have to unload or load the dishes. Take clean dishes out drawer one as needed, load into drawer two when done. Drawer one empty? Run drawer two, then start loading the new dirties into drawer one. My dream is to never have to open the kitchen cabinets unless company comes over.
Thanks! It was really bugging me that I couldn’t place it from that photo, it looks like a dozen different places around d.c./nova from that angle. The only thing that didn’t seem right to me was the roof.
Not a nit pick, I just lived in the area for a while and it looked familiar is all.
Are we sure that’s D.C.? Looks like the Pentagon (which is across the river in Virginia).
This is also called anxiety (which often goes hand in hand with ADHD to be fair)
You may have better friends than me. I’ve had people say that it’s “disrespectful” because I must be focusing more on what they said vs what they’re now saying or something stupid IDK.
I have to turn subtitles off in games or else I will get too frustrated by the voice acting and do exactly that. I had to force myself to listen to the wonderful VA work in Baldur’s Gate 3.
If someone needs to be overly organized I would be more likely to assume they are just on the ASD now, but I definitely remember people joking about OCD like you’re saying. I have AuDHD (high functioning autism and ADHD) but that wasn’t in the DSM until like 2014, so as a kid I just got the ADHD diagnosis. Now it makes so much more sense why I feel like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde sometimes. My autistic traits desire organization and cleanliness but my ADHD is good at “filtering” the mess out until it gets REALLY bad. Then I go into a cleaning frenzy ala old lady Sophie trying to clean Howl’s castle. Sadly I don’t have the grit of Sophie so I end up getting burnt out and being unable to clean anything for two months.
You might have gotten in before they added the H lol. My diagnosis in the early 90s was called just ADD. They hadn’t added the “hyperactive” part yet. The name does it a disservice though because it isn’t an attention deficit, it is in fact the exact opposite. I have too much attention - I just can’t always pick where that attention goes.
A hateful, young alt-reich kid was taken out by another hateful, young alt-reich kid because one of them didn’t think the other was hateful enough. So the entire MAGA cult is in overdrive trying to convince the world that charlie was killed by “the left”. You’re only hearing about it because its a completely insane political spin.
