workplace-endorsed “mindfulness” meditation

That sounds pretty dismissive. It’s very sad that capitalism co-opts these things to squeeze out even more energy from workers, and that people think this is just something PR or HR or whatever came up with.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and similar techniques (e.g. autogenic training) are effective and empirically proven methods to combat depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, etc.

Mmh, yeah… Sucks to be you I guess…

Now fuck off.

This comment chain doesn’t have the words “authoritarian nationalist state capitalism.” in it, and you don’t know shit about anything, go back to facebook.

I’m also not your fucking “bro”, asshole, get lost.

No, I don’t know which ones “he” meant, because nobody mentioned Nazis, and apparently you still haven’t understood the difference between concentration and death camps, and assuming everyone here is male is also kind of yuck you know.

I don’t want to defend gulags but they didn’t have poison shower rooms or child corpse disposal staff.

Neither did concentration camps:

"Interned persons may be held in prisons or in facilities known as internment camps (also known as concentration camps). The term concentration camp originates from the Spanish–Cuban Ten Years’ War when Spanish forces detained Cuban civilians in camps in order to more easily combat guerrilla forces. Over the following decades the British during the Second Boer War and the Americans during the Philippine–American War also used concentration camps.

The term “concentration camp” and “internment camp” are used to refer to a variety of systems that greatly differ in their severity, mortality rate, and architecture; their defining characteristic is that inmates are held outside the rule of law. Extermination camps or death camps, whose primary purpose is killing, are also imprecisely referred to as “concentration camps”."

Don’t minimize the Holocaust on your way to agree with everyone else that tankies are delusional assholes.

The singularity of the Holocaust lies in the extermination camps, where millions of people were murdered with industrial efficiency:

Saying that concentration camps exist(ed) in other countries is not Holocaust relativism.

Lol, that’s because the mods of said threads already had to delete all the bullshit they posted once they “accidentally found this on all” and then descent on it like locusts (but they’re totally not brigading!!!1!)

Here’s one of their mods:

Or maybe strike the part where you said „hate“ because you made that up, and instead add the opium epidemic, homelessness crisis, and rampant gun violence, which all contribute to the issue that public transport is much less pleasant than in other places.

No, they said they don’t like public transport…

I don’t like the US at all.

FTFY. Public transport is not like that in other places.

Yeah, that „study“ studies child neglect…

„By age 2 […] those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills.“

Wow. Children with no human interaction lacking communication skills, news at eleven.

I don’t know how you eat burgers, but the first thing your tongue tastes is the bun…

Yes Inquisitor, this heathen right here.

This is not debatable. Cheese on top. While the patty is still on the grill, so the cheese can actually melt.

And we have no more old people in this country. No more old people. We shipped them all away and we brought in these senior citizens

[…]

Well, I’m getting old and it’s okay because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die. I’ll pass away or I’ll expire like a magazine subscription.

What happens in the hospital. They’ll call in the terminal episode, the insurance company will refer to it as a “negative patient care outcome” and if it’s the result of malpractice they’ll say it was a therapeutic misadventure.

I’m telling you some of this language makes me wanna vomit. Well, maybe not vomit. It makes me want to engage in an involuntary personal protein spill.

Don’t know, don’t use baking paper at all

Nah. Parchment paper goes into the oven, that’s another name for baking sheets. Waxed paper is used to wrap your sandwich. If you put waxed paper in the oven – well, see picture above.

FYI, some baking paper contains PFAS, the group of chemicals that also PTFE (aka Teflon) belongs to, which is… not good.

They’re using it as a shield, but it’s also much worse than that, it’s textbook toxic manipulators trying to control the narrative: „Look what you made me do!“. They’re trying to guilt-shame the other party into submission.

The utter lack of LGBT content on hexbear whinograd is quite telling, also apparently someone on there took notice and they’re trying really hard to push some pro-trans memes now 😂

That’s a study that is nearly ten years old, and is also severely misunderstood.

Firstly, yes, Berlin hasn’t got too much to add to Germany’s GDP, but that’s not really Berlin’s fault. In 2001 Berlin went broke because of the investment East-Berlin needed, but subsequently was denied help by the federal government. Yeah, no shit, if you don’t invest in your capital which has no industry to speak of, it’s not going to end well.

Second, this statistic showed that without Berlin, Germany would be 0.2% richer, while France would be 15% poorer without Paris. What does that mean? Simply that all the economic power is concentrated at one point in France. In Germany, the economic power is more evenly spread across the country. The largest state, NRW, has a GDP of 43k€/y per capita, which today is just barely more than Berlin with 42k€/y.

Berlin’s GDP is stronger than the other East German states, the bottom regions are MVP and SA, so the graph above would be better with Berlin included.

But yeah, Berlin is a trainwreck…

I wouldn’t read too much into that, evolutionary psychology is a pseudoscience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_evolutionary_psychology

Psychology is already a field full of rough concepts, bad statistics, and low certainties, we mostly have no clue why we’re doing things right now. Adding millions of years and unprovable speculation surely doesn’t help.
