"Populist" is whatever the other side wants. "Nuanced and complex" is my side. My point is, "muh boomers" is a pretty populist reddit-brained take.

Is it the tribe or basically Americans who grew up on Pocahontas and Avatar and larp this kind of stuff for clout based on their 4.75% ancestry from this tribe plus getting some deals with the more real tribal people that if they put their name on the nonsense statement then they get some material benefits etc.?

Ultimately your paycheck exists through deals that involve those boxes on checklists. It doesn't simply materialize out of thin air. If there are no deals, it doesn't matter how robust and elegant the architecture is.

It's catering to this American esoteric view of thinking that indigenous peoples are some kind of magic elves or ents safeguarding the world since eternity in perfect harmony with nature and whatnot. It's weird but it's a new American religion. There is a need to imagine that some mirror world exists with pure hearted people somewhere else.

You will still be a dad even if you take on female roles.

Magnifying glass? Copy is hard, cut and paste, glue etc sure.

With paper I can put two or three pages side by side. Imagine needing 2 or 3 synchronized e-readers like that. And I can immediately draw on them, not worrying about what mode I'm in, what brush is selected blablabla. I can flip back and forth with my fingers etc. Downside is no search, no zoom no copy paste.

I guess you mean that now people make forms or documents then wither email them or they print sign and scan and send the same. Instead they could have some ERM system that supports the same functionality by just filling forms in the web ui, clicking approve buttons etc. Problem is those won't support the exact thing they need and a docx is editable to say just what you need (getting the erm provider to add a new checkbox is expensive and needs ongoing maintenance subscriptions), and often wet ink signatures are required by law.

I didn't think that was possible, but there's always something new to learn.

I sometimes see parents doing this "always rationally explain everything to the small kid and expect them to simply follow and accept the logic" tactic in public and it seems... Ineffective.

I'm with Zizek on this stuff.

> “Imagine you or me, I’m a small boy. It’s Sunday afternoon. My father wants me to visit our grandmother. Let’s say my father is a traditional authority. What would he be doing? He would probably tell me something like, “I don’t care how you feel; it’s your duty to visit your grandmother. Be polite to her and so on.” Nothing bad about this I claim because I can still rebel and so on. It’s a clear order.

> But what would the so-called post-modern non-authoritarian father do? I know because I experienced it. He would have said something like this, “You know how much your grandmother loves you, but nonetheless I’m not forcing you to visit her. You should only visit her if you freely decide to do it.” Now every child knows that beneath the appearance of free choice there is a much stronger pressure in this second message. Because basically your father is not only telling you, you must visit your grandmother, but you must love to visit it. You know he tells you how you must feel about it. It’s a much stronger order.”

But you did impose the rule, it didn't come from outside so you misled her.

Did it survive the replication crisis? File drawer effect? Social science produces whatever results are prestigious in the current intellectual academic zeitgeist. I have zero trust in any of it and will trust a random granny's life experience more.

If you're an asshole, this stuff won't help. If you're a balanced person, obsessing over what words to use will just make you more anxious and worried and will do more harm to the kid than if you're just relaxed and say or phrase something in a way the parenting experts and TikTok therapists deem a nono.

I'm confused. Are you saying the husband should "be a mom"?
