The "Good Cop, Bad Cop" trick is a popular technique because it works even when you know they are doing it. The contrast between the 2 operators makes the less extreme one look mild in comparison, even though they would appear anything but mild in another context. But it doesn't work only with police. It can take the form of "good pope, bad pope" or "good Supreme Court Justice, bad Supreme Court Justice", or even "good media outlet, bad media outlet". Now that you are aware of this trick, you will see it everywhere.

If one human year is equal to 7 dog years, then that means that when you are gone for 8 hours, it feels like two and a half days to your dog.

Everyone likes to shine, but nobody likes to polish.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the rich by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to essential safety nets.

4) Threaten to shut down the government.

5) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

@yogthos Some people have compared society to an organism, so if we follow that analogy to it's conclusion, I think the phenomenon you bring up can be compared to Psychological Projection. We can go even further and say that if our society is like an organism, then perhaps it has a cognitive impairment.

I've got about 100 USB 2 USBs that have fake-ass blue plastic pretending to be USB 3 on them, all brand-new (and their capacities are legit, I've tested some) but unsaleable because they're fake as fuck.
Any activist/whistle blowing/etc groups here in need of some very disposable USB sticks? You can have some for the price of postage

It's the lack of me being able to give and contribute to you or your project that makes me go 'crazy'.

If you can believe in one other
or one other can believe in you,
it makes a big difference in life.

Have to be careful with technology, everything comes from a main pipe.

Human focus is more and more important to realise what they use with others and why it's allowed to be used.

"I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them" - E.M. Forster

Have the courage to do it, else find others at the same time and you will soon realise it on your own and together.

becoming more personal means we be able work together, clearing debris in the mind while working on creating proper multiple paths for different combinations of people in future.

Either way attack and loss happens (called life) but knowing what has less suffering and being together is what is formidable.
:boost: to remind yourself of this if not others...

"He who serves two masters has to lie to one" - Portuguese Proverb

Insensitivity also comes from innocently wanting to help or thinking it's simpler than it is.

when you pay each other, you are paying the banks also and respecting they are

-making money on loans
-making money on fees
- making money on savings money
- making money on funding

(they make money working work everywhere but THEY ARE CHOOSING WHO GETS MONEY OR NOT AND WHERE IT GOES...)

@mekkaokereke Having spent much of the last decade teaching people how to teach, I think the best of today's teachers are better than the best of fifty years ago, but the median has stayed the same. Most faculty still aren't taught evidence-based teaching practices or given the support to improve their teaching. What I believe _has_ improved is peer-to-peer/free-range learning, largely online: if students find their prof confusing, they can look for alternative explanations.

@stevendbrewer @rexi @johncarlosbaez @Leuenberg Normally, I would offer bonus points for coining a new word. However, the idea of “crisprAI” terrifies me.
