Either way, there is a lot of things where a book, with illustrations or not, is an inefficient way to convey information.

Somebody did already find it worth a downvote lol.

This is one of my all-time least favorite takes.

For a lot of stuff, text is a good way to present information. For a lot of other things, information is best processed visually, often in the form of a video. Think repair, building stuff, 3D software, complicated GUI software in general, sports and gym technique, physiotherapy, anything that involves spatial motor skills really.

Imagine if IKEA instructions were text-only?

fuck science and evidence

Most science about human behavior deals with averages. It's completely possible that a subpopulation might show an inverse trend. This is especially the case when it's a subpopulation with known differences in similar behavior. I'm not saying ADHD people benefit from multitasking, but we just can't say anything based on the general population.

And for another anecdote, literally nobody I know who has ADHD is loved at their job for having it. They all struggle to hold jobs.

A friend of mine is excelling at sales and that is due to his personality, including ADHD. In most jobs, of course, it's not beneficial and can pose problems. But that doesn't mean you can't find jobs that are well-suited for ADHD people – maybe even better suited than for neurotypicals.

What interests you and what do you value? There are no universal answers to a question like this.

22:00 bedtime / 06:00 wake-up time daily is what you do in the army in my country. No smartphone too. This seems excessive for a normal 15 year old.

 

Why are cardiac deaths skyrocketing in 25-44 year olds? Scientists found microplastics in human heart arteries - linked to heart attacks, strokes, and premature death. We're breathing, eating, and drinking plastic every day. But here's the real scandal - only 10% of plastic actually gets recycled. Big Oil has known this for decades.

Discover the explosive lawsuits against Exxon, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi that expose how plastic recycling was never a solution - just an excuse to produce more. Plus: what you can actually do about it featuring Judith Enck, from Beyond Plastics

My country does not have a culture war over bike lanes, that sounds insane… But I get it in some sense its similar to other conservative tactics

What the hell is going on in canada? This is bizarre

Not really surprised, everything just keeps getting less and less repairable over time, regardless what it is

cars, computers, phones, electricity

Interesting that you bring up these examples. Giving up some of these is easier than others, yet there was once a world where none of these was necessary.

I think it’s indeed not a good argument that we used to live in a world without these. The question is more, how much do we lose if we want to give up, say, plastic packaging. Can we lose a little convenience and gain _a lot _of sustainability?

 

Hi all! I wrote a small Python utility that scrobbles your iPod play history on last.fm. It is made for the newer iPod nanos (6th gen+) that I didn’t get to work with the existing projects. You can install it via the Python package manager Pip by running pip install ipodnano-scrobbler.

I found this interesting, especially the discussion on navigating social situations in a pronatalist world.

 

Tuli tässä yksi päivä illanvietossa vastaan amerikkalainen, joka halusi yllättää pari suomalaista kaveriaan järjestämällä yllätysjuhlat, joissa tarjoiltaisiin suomalaista ruokaa. Asun ulkomailla, ja olin siksi paras henkilö vastaamaan hänen kysymyksiinsä suomalaisesta ruuasta. Mutta olipas yllättävän vaikeaa.

Kysymys kuuluukin: mitä suomalaisia ruokia sinä suosittelisit? Minun oli erityisen vaikeaa keksiä hyviä suomalaisia ruokalajeja, jotka eivät kuuluisi paikalliseen ruokakulttuuriin myös täällä Ruotsissa. Karjalanpiirakat tuli siinä hetkessä mieleen, jälkeenpäin ehkä pinaattiletut.
