may prevent developing real-world resilience skills
I'm sorry but every corner of the world is battling rising authoritarianism at least on one front, sometimes multiple. Wealth gaps continue to widen and the environment is increasingly being made less hospitable to us, by us, with no end in sight. Are we supposed to be able to just ignore all that? Maybe the maladaptive trait IS avoiding and ignoring all that in what this article seems to mistake for resilience.
Isn't one of the point of the phenom of enshifitication that it's near ubiquitous? The reason it can continue is because it reached a critical mass, leaving us few workable alternatives, like a symptom of monopolization. I'd wager some companies feel like they won't survive if they don't keep up, not sure if that assessment is true but I bet many think it is.
Then I suppose the pardon did some good for the world. Shame it did more bad though.
My take on it is if that's what we can find out about these clandestine orgs then the truth is almost certainly at least slightly more incriminating. I dont trust them to tell or record the truth when they can't even pass an audit.
CIA used to kill presidents for less. Sometimes American ones too.
Libya and Ukraine convey the same warning to non NATO states. Have nukes or perish.
If the law is too slow to help then it doesn't matter.
Elon Musk takes to X to beg retired air traffic controllers to return to work: ‘There is a shortage’
Most of them retire at or near the age they're legally required to retire, they cannot come back. He's either trying to ask for the people he fired to come back without looking like the moron most people see him for or too dumb to realize even that.
FT8 for pretty maps and SSTV to xmit memes sounds pretty good. Winlink if I'm feeling adventurous.
Imagine 'President low key selling nuclear secrets to Iran'
Speaking of, If you don't watch American Dad I'd highly recommend. Been my favorite show from MacFarlane for a while now.
