  • While I agree in principle, the response from the CEO, was: only like 5% of people we give money to are racist Nazi bigots “controversial”, let’s agree to disagree and move on.

    Which is massive narcissitic, non-empathic behaviour. It’s giving me less “you don’t matter because soon you’ll be dead”-vibes and more “I am literally unable to understand your concerns and empathise with you”-vibe, which to me personally is much more damning.





  • I do not think they are dumbasses. They understand very well that “pumping the brakes” can start negotiations with people who have infinite deep pockets and are willing to let them have a little extra so the infinitely deep pockets stay that way.

    Self-enrichment is a powerful motivator.

    Like Nixon, when he helped privatize healthcare. Playing Dumb (and a little crazy) has been a schtick for republicans for 60 years. I wish there was a website with all the crazy shit republicans said and did in public, maybe I need to start one…







  • TIL,Thank you for dumping obscure biological knowledge!

    I felt the same when I found out roughly 90-99 % of serotonin (predecessor) is produced by a certain type of gut bacteria. For some reason, finding the research was (is? Haven’t checked for a few years) for some reason non-obvious and difficult.

    Now that I think about it, is there a wiki or something where we can share this knowledge? Your artefact would have helped a friend a few years ago…
