> In the absence of free will, accountability makes no sense.

Agreed! I couldn't have said it better myself. I just wanted to send it to check to be sure.

For those who don't believe in free will, how do you justify holding people accountable for actions that they had no control over? i.e. the court system

@basedbagel Problem with imposter syndrome is that you think that people around you know more and have life figured out.

So if you want to cure it. You need to know that most people are stupid, they know few things and they do not even plan for future.

I see a lot of imposter syndrome on social media and I don't get it.

Maybe it's its because I'm underemployed in this shit market but to me it's pretty simple.

If I don't understand something I'll just Google it/ take a class and practice it until I understand it.

Poof! Imposter syndrome gone.

I swear some people just love to talk lol

Treat corporate America like the drug game.

Get your $ and get out ASAP

don't get caught up in their foolery.

I've had multiple girls promoted over me and instead of getting angry I started my own biz and had a good year long run.

I can't stand Google but Gemini is excellent for creative writing. Even better than CHAT GPT 3.5.

Also I haven't found a sufficient Google voice alternative yet.

These two products andthe Google Play store are the last vestiges of Google in my life.

Boomers don't adapt. They just complain louder

Companies do team building backwards and wonder why it doesn't work.

If we work well together then I MIGHT be interested in a personal relationship with you.

I'm not interested in making friends with dumb, lazy, obese normies

No amount of "Team building" exercises or pizza parties will ever change that.

The correct way to do team building is to give a day off to the team if the project is completed early.

Then if we so desire we will meet up instead of this inorganic nonsense we have now.

One thing that stands out to me Mastodon > Twitter is the depth of conversation.

I regularly see someone boost an old post of mine 15+ messages deep.

This NEVER happened on Twitter.

After ~36 hours their thread was dead

@basedbagel You used to be in a bad economic position, then you compared yourself to others, and now you are both in a bad economic position AND miserable. And all that for people who don't even care about you.

Also, if you focus on what you lack, you will miss what you have. There are people out there who have to survive with less than $2 a day. And opportunities in life come by leveraging what you have, not what you lack, so it's important to focus on the former not the latter.

He is quoted as saying that the relevant Pearson correlation coefficients in these studies - the 'r' value - tops out at 0.6 for grades-to-IQ, and 0.25 for grades-to-conscientiousness, which if true is pretty high for that field.

But yes, corruption is a huge deal. Parents buying their kids Ivy league places is the least of it.

The entire education ecosystem from K through to post-grad peer review is a cesspool of corruption.

Almost nothing worth saving from it.

Greed and Fear baby, it all runs on Greed and Fear.

I thought the whole point of Bitcoin was to BYPASSS the banking institutions.

Why are people championing a Bitcoin EFT?!🤦‍♂️

Please tell me there was a conspiracy where they systematically got rid of everyone who believed in the true vision of crypto?

TIL some people's parents pay for HALF their rent and bills...

Every day is a test of my resolve not to become envious or resentful.

But this is right up there with female FULL scholarships for how much it shocked me

We already have UBI so idk why people are so against it.

Case and point:
80% of gov workers
90% of middle management
100% of HR

Why does Imgur block VPNs but not Tor?

It makes no sense

Me: USA should do all it's manufacturing domestically! 😤

Also me: *Buys Chinese knock off OtterBox to save ~$30*

Say what you want about Trump, he is one adaptable Boomer.

Most boomers just found out how to text and he went viral on Twitter and started his own social media network.
