The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad. He introduced the word which describes paradoxes of life during the 1970s and 1980s in the USSR. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend.

Your emotions and feelings are your brain and body’s way of communicating with you - listen to them. If you take some time to feel your feelings with a sympathetic lens, you can better understand what’s wrong. While fixing it will be a lot longer of a journey, simply allowing your self to listen will be a good first step.

I’d guess it would be less dramatic than that. Probably mics and bugs throughout it so they can get some good data on him.

Agreed. Dude was unhinged and didn’t give a fuck about any of that in this scene. Which obviously made it more tense

lol at, “the organizers said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.” I love how this is journalism is handling this switch.

Or they put their kids in a cheap “school” without regulations and can be abused or whatever while the parents have to go to work

Or be home schooled

Or they have to go into the labor force early

All of these are terrible options

So is that trigger discipline. That dude is going to kill someone with that bullshit

I worked at a fast food place in high school. They trained us to put the condiments on the bottom bun so you taste it sooner in the tongue. I basically eat my burgers with that logic in mind now. Whatever side the door is is now down.

Looks so good! I loved the first one.

Keep in mind this does not just apply to ‘top talent’.

Anyone who is confident they can find something elsewhere and have a good enough resume to land a hybrid/WFH job will do so, if pushed.

I tried it and your meme disappeared. I had to go back to hot to find it. 🤔

Here’s an analogy from a non technical person.

Fediverse is the universe.

The protocol is the laws of nature by which the universe functions.

Lemmy is a galaxy or cluster of galaxies in the universe.

I literally had this conversation at lunch today. We were talking about EVs and someone said the batteries are bad for the environment and I said, “yup! We’d be better getting a nice electric transit system to replace roads and cars.” I feel like most people know we’d be better off with a good transit system but rich people 80 years ago solidified our lives.

Bruh, at least turn her around so she can watch you die to another blue moblin.

My go-to phrase now is , “don’t judge a book by its movie.”

Wait, can tea leaves be grown anywhere?

I think there’s a sign near by that says to build a shelter if you want a fire in the rain but the devs might’ve added something for patient players too. 😊
