fullmoon··on You don't have to engage with people on the Internet
You’re leaving lot of noise on the table if you only look with one eye.
fullmoon··on You don't have to engage with people on the Internet
I’m surprised that so many people can tickle their social itch over the internet.

There is nothing about the dynamics involved that I’d consider social.

Interaction is mostly with total strangers, almost always in text form (no subtext, no facial expression, no body language).

Comments are written at people, not to people — to illicit support for one’s position or condemnation of the opposing one.

Social networks : Being social = Sock : Loving spouse

fullmoon··on Ask HN: What is one thing that improved your cognitive skills the most?
Sufficiently privileged to know about the importance of sleep?
fullmoon··on Japan leads world in childless middle-aged women
Like with “six-minute-abs”, the idea that something hard, but (for many) fulfilling is achievable without any sacrifice is an idea that’s easily sold to people that want to believe it.
fullmoon··on Japan leads world in childless middle-aged women
Have a good luck in how many feminists regard women that choose to become full-time mothers and you’ll see that it’s not that simple.
fullmoon··on Japan leads world in childless middle-aged women
Why would you choose to read it in this way?

How is sharing some (correct) information about biological realities non-consensual?

fullmoon··on Japan leads world in childless middle-aged women
It’s very different to know that eggs become less fertile with age and being aware how rapidly this happens even during a woman’s 30s.

I’m not sure why you’d love to see bubbles and “misinformation” here.

fullmoon··on Practice typing by retyping entire novels
According to Krashen's language acquisition models only input matters, and typing is a very ineffective mode of reading.

Culturally? That would be interesting to think through.

I can be sold on the idea that covering one face (by any means) removes a lot of communication and social clues that are inherently human.

But control?

Please consider seeking the help of mental health counseling both for your own sake and for those close to you.

I’m well aware.

Yet we’ve been hearing since the beginning of 2021 that they’ve been proven to have been much more efficient by the coalition parliament which has come up with this idea.

Yes, Germany is one of those few outliers in the 27 EU countries / Europe 44.

Land mass or self-perceived importance from within notwithstanding.

The result of Germany’s remarkable interventions is remarkable in its mediocrity.

We Europeans are continually surprised that talking about masks is still a thing.*

Except for 1 or 2 outlier countries masking is over.

* Unless they are familiar with U.S. politics

Austria has mandated N95s for months.

No improvement in comparison to neighboring countries could be demonstrated.

Mostly because it was pure theater and no attempt at proof was even made.

fullmoon··on The mid in fake midcentury modern
Is this an Ayn Rand quote out of her novels? It sounds that way but I can’t find it.
fullmoon··on Lastpass Security Incident
Reflect on the reasons why you’ve just written this very comment.

You might be surprised.

fullmoon··on Eight glasses of water a day excessive for most people, study suggests
This is the fallacy fallacy.

How does infant mortality help us to reason that we should drink beyond thirst?

fullmoon··on Memento mori
Why would one regret not spending more time on social media?
fullmoon··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
I’ve only be learning for a year or so — will the mapping of tenses from Latin to English ever make sense?
fullmoon··on Esperanto is not my favourite artificial language (2002)
Medieval Latin isn’t really that much different than latin from the classical period.
fullmoon··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
So what? They might be in the books or twiddle their thumbs but union or not they’re is no right to location or remote system access post termination.
fullmoon··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
I live in a modern central European nation.

There is nothing dystopian about denying people that are no longer employed office access.

fullmoon··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
If the layoff of this team elicits anger from the “you’re the problem” crowd then Musk is doing something right.
fullmoon··on Ask HN: Am I getting older or did typing on the iPhone become unbearable?
Adding a text replacement from “fuck” to “fuck” (General - Keyboards - Text Replacement) allows you to swear again.
fullmoon··on Nearly half of Covid patients haven’t fully recovered months later, study finds
How’s your jaw? Did you start grinding your teeth / clenching your jaw?

Your symptom cluster is very similar to me since a long long time before Covid.

fullmoon··on Nearly half of Covid patients haven’t fully recovered months later, study finds
I’ve recovered my sense of sense and test within a week after the first onset of symptoms.
fullmoon··on Mandated diversity statement drives Jonathan Haidt to quit academic society
The good news is that some of us have instruments attached do those view holes that are capable to reason beyond the URL.
fullmoon··on Mandated diversity statement drives Jonathan Haidt to quit academic society
“Anti-racism” is, in fact, racist.

Your last paragraph points towards some internalized racial stereotypes.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s anything else by some people that manipulate language.

fullmoon··on All History Is Revisionist History
One good example of such a person is Hannah-Jones and her fraudulent 1619 project, who fits all of those attributes except for historian.
fullmoon··on Photos Always Pointing at the Pointer (2012)
Since “Implicit bias” could not have been proven to actually exist your charge is a direct personal one based on nothing concrete at all.
