“You do this because you hate X group” falls apart immediately if the person doesn’t subjectively feel like they hate that group — even if they’re doing harmful things to them! “I know you’re a good person. That’s why I’m sharing with you how you’re causing harm” Different.

Most people don’t do things with malicious intentions. People see themselves as good people and don’t want to act in ways inconsistent with that. If you tell someone they’re evil but they know their intentions are pure, to them you’re already wrong.

So much modern activism comes from the perspective of “you are bad and hateful, therefore you should do this.” It’s so much more effective to show people why they should want to behave differently *because they are good and caring.*

@RJSCity I think Trumpism worked here until people realized that Trump would also treat *them* the same way he treats everyone else and that they aren’t part of a secret club. Trump himself I think is the undoing of Trumpism in Canada.

@river_is_nice A pretty considerable chunk of the time if one of the “boyfriend twins” just had different facial hair or a different hair style they wouldn’t look like “twins” anyway

@river_is_nice If I find a style choice attractive on other guys, I’m going to make similar choices for my personal style. As such, gay men start to model themselves after what they find attractive, ergo, they wind up dating someone who looks similar.

Also - the severed don’t have watches, they follow the central clock. Millchick says “8 seconds of silence” but it’s like 2 seconds. If that’s the math… we only know about 1/4 of the time they are severed vs the outside world. What’s in the other 75%?

The water…. The severed are being “purified…” … the black goo is free will… when they get fired they’re “born again…” - Irving is a baby in the intro. Is Helena going to… have…. Irving? Is Miss Huang Miss Casey “born again?”

@InezFeltscher The one rebuttal I have (though, to an extent I agree) is just that forcing people to take transit will do 2 things - one, more eyes is just going to promote more safety in general, but also, more people seeing the social disorder will generate the political will to do something

I was once a skeptic of rental housing "filtering" -- the theory that new "luxury" apartments pull up higher-income renters from moderate-priced rentals, thereby benefitting moderate-income renters, and on down the line. I am no longer a skeptic. I became a believer once I realized several mistakes I made in the analysis -- the same mistakes I see some of my peers making now. Here are those common mistakes among filtering deniers: 1) You must focus on higher-supplied neighborhoods. Macro analysis doesn't work nearly as well. The more you build, the more clearly you see "filtering" play out. When you include low-supply neighborhoods in the analysis, you're obscuring the real story. 2) You cannot rely on the industry's asset class definitions based on non-rent measures like amenities or building age. You need to more specifically look at apartments by rent level, which is the foundation of "filtering." It's broadly correlated with classes, but not the same thing. 3) You can't assume "more supply" = "high supply." Very common mistake. In the 2010s decade, as example, we just didn't build that many apartments -- even in the places we *think* we did. For example, Texas probably built more apartments than any other state and yet rents outpaced national average-- making it harder to detect impact of filtering (even if still present in form of rents growing less than they otherwise would have absent the new supply.) It's not just supply. It's supply relative to demand. And in the 2010s, supply generally didn't keep pace with demand. The 2023-24 period shows us more clearly what happens when you build truly A LOT of new apartments. Rents fall -- even among the lowest-rent properties. (See chart below.) 4) You got to talk to people with eyes/ears on the ground -- especially those operating apartments at differing rent levels in high-supplied submarkets. They'll help you better understand what to look for in the data. 5) You need to be open to admitting you were wrong.

@JD__STL @eigenrobot I don’t and I can actually even whisper speak the ABC’s audibly while I’m reading as long as my inner monologue is “reading” the text. If I try to get my inner monologue to “speak” the ABCs while sight reading I find it much more challenging and extremely distracting

@JD__STL @eigenrobot I now see that subvocalizing is not the same as inner monologue. Inner monologue is what I’ve got going on, I’m definitely not… literally making noise…? Or… mouthing the words?

@JD__STL @eigenrobot Jesus I found this unbelievably difficult. Like. I was trying to stay on the ABCs and then every single time caught myself halfway through back to “think-speaking” the sentence. I found this harder than the “say the colour of the word and not the word” test thing
