NOW I CAN SEE THE WALES LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK

When people want to enter a bus, especially a crowded one, it makes a lot more sense to wait for the people who want to get out of the bus to leave first.

This one is so baffling to me, it's really changed my view of how stupid some people really are. What do they even expect, that the other passengers magically disappear? It's really not an abstract problem if the other passengers are trying to leave right in front of you. Trying to enter a bus is also not a rare situation, so you'd expect people to understand this at least after the first few times. Unbelievable.

Idk man, sounds to me like his wife is very inconsiderate, or unaware that some people are deeply asleep at 1am. This behavior should not regularly happen between people who respect each other and clearly communicate their needs. Maybe they can find a different solution than him changing his entire schedule.

Anyway, I just wanted to browse memes while taking a dump. Strange how these internet conversations come to be.

I don't remember exactly, but probably because she was shocked that her "demon half" would ask that, independently of the answer.

This game gave me the impression that it's great at many aspects that don't matter, but mid at everything that actually decides whether it is fun to play or not.

Is this not just a (mildly oversimplified) framing of what psychologists call ego depletion [1]? This appears to be a well-replicated finding. I don't see any reason to call it "wildly incorrect".

[1] The strength model of self-control. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2007-18261-013

Edit: After some more research, it looks like the science is inconclusive on ego depletion. So I would not call it "well-replicated", but also not "wildly incorrect".

This blog post summarizes the science nicely: https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2023/10/30/a-conversation-about-the-science-of-willpower/ TL;DR: You can train your willpower. It does act like a limited resource [Edit: Science is inconclusive on this claim]. But most importantly, it is strongly affected by your sleep, nutrition and stress level.

I found that mindfulness meditation was helpful for me. Practically, you can achieve an effect that is similar to having strengthened willpower by organizing your life in such a way that you don't encounter many temptations in the first place.

It doesn't feel like sexual harassment to them because it's directed towards a straight male. Change the words to "stable girl" and everyone would call it creepy instead of funny (as they should, because it is). Don't try to reason with these people, it will just needlessly make you angry.

It's a "Büromöbel" (office furniture) company.
