I recall that 5-6 years ago, temperatures around 30 Celsius were outrageous, unprecedented and unbearable here in Central Europe. Now, we're seeing stuff like 40 degrees and we don't even whine about it anymore.

The longer this shitshow goes on, the dumber Elon looks. Who could idolize him at this point?

The fediverse is looking like the objective best alternative, more so day by day.

If I really like a creator, I’ll donate to them. Ads are an intrusion on privacy, and everybody has the right to block them without moral backlash.

Everyone educated on the topic understands that it’s a pop psychological misrepresentation of some very interesting work.

The irony of this is that those who aren’t “educated on the topic” do not realize that by describing the Dunning-Kruger effect as the law of “overconfident stupid people”, they themselves have become subjects of the effect.

What I was trying to say is that the Dunning-Kruger effect being misrepresented as something that only applies to “stupid people” is often done by people who are themselves undereducated on its topic. The DK effect applies to everybody.

I only reread my so-called "comfort books". Whenever I feel like I'm having a hard time in my life I grab my Dune or my Foundation and feel amazing for a little while, being immersed in these worlds I love so much.

Referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect in casual contexts. Most people who refer to it, have not really read about it enough to be qualified to use it.

Or being confident about disliking reading in general, whether be it fiction or scientific literature.

Doesn't this depend on the stylistic environment of the text? Personally, I'd consider it alright given that the sender and the receiver are in a casual relationship. It only makes one seem uneducated if they are using it in a more formal, or perhaps a public context.

I absolutely hated almost all vegetables and legumes when I was younger. After I started forcing myself to eat them regardless of my opinion - since they are indispensable - I found that I have been disliking them on a mental basis, and just simply eating them has undone my hatred for vegetables.
