Dubs have gotten better, and the decline of fansubs means no translation notes that really helped some oddities.

But that's correlation, the way the brain conceptualizes it into a "color" in the mental model, well that's the qualia stuff referenced in another comment.

Now there's some x-rays to see..

Success is awarded to the confident. You can be an absolute weird idiot and still, in the right circumstances, get massive success just because people assume there's a reason you seem so confident, and who are they to second guess that confidence?

Add to that half the time someone who is obese and complains of an ailment, let's say muscle pain, they are adamant that it's not the weight. Because the weight is hard to deal with and they need it to be easy.

So yes, someone unfairly has a complaint without being properly heard, but it's in a chorus of people that just won't accept that their obesity is a problem.

Of course, women have a lot more women specific health issues than men have men specific health issues, so it makes sense.

There are certain areas where, as I understand, women are less diagnosed when they should be compared to men (e.g. heart conditions), but in other areas both men and women face a doctor shrugging and moving on rather than arriving at a diagnosis.

The reason for volatility is that any such concept at scale is subject to just the messiest lump of evolving opinions on everything. It will deflate, inflate, deflate wildly because it's utterly subject to the whims of the people without any mechanism to counter a lack of mass consensus on what 'value' is.

We started noticing as things scaled up, there needed to be some regulatory management to counter the whimsical populace. Hard to fight mass inflation or deflation when you can't do anything to manage the "money supply" to offset panic.

He also wraps it up with a bit of climate denial, so he thinks the real problem is imaginary.

Extra mental gymnastics as he interpreted reports of significantly improved pollution when we shut down everything as proof, somehow, that humanity didn't really make that much of a difference... So either a difference is observed and that means it's the rest of the way reversible so it can't be that big of a deal or no difference would've been seen and he would have concluded humanity must not make a difference because no difference was seen..

About 25 years ago I saw this (the first dotcom boom). I was a TA with office hours and had a significant number of people outright say "just give me the answer" when I would try to explain something they didn't understand.

I recall a lounge discussion where someone switched majors away from CompSci towards communications, but said they just planned to get "a" bachelor's degree and then some easy certification to become a programmer, because CompSci was too hard and they could get a payday without it.

Did anyone say alive?

Trump Pyramid where he gets buried with his jet...

Wow, I couldn't get through that... Feel like it's a sign of some mental issues to produce that much word diarrhea in a Quora answer...

But yeah, "the bombings in the game and their collateral damage including death of civilians are good, but you know what is truly evil? Some people that mostly just hold up protest signs and stand around protesting Trump."

Sometimes devs are the most difficult users.

"Why is this not working the way it should? Ok, yes I did rewrite how the code manages save data in the filesystem, but that shouldn't have any impact, I just thought it should make sure it only writes in 8k chunks because I read a comment somewhere that says it would increase ssd life by 3%, but I promise you it's exactly equivalent to the original code and the problem must be elsewhere, not my patch. I patched dozens of other packages without issue with my 8k barrier strategy without any problems"

Devs come up with wild ideas, rewrite stuff, fail to mention it until you run into it, then explain why it doesn't matter and stubbornly refuse to at least try without their weird change.
