Yeah ideally once an hour you get up and bring something far away into focus for a bit, stretch your eyes the other way. Stretching whatever else whenever you can etc..
To be pedantic, that isn't even right or wrong posture at a computer. The cat one isn't wrong either.
What they tell you at the big big studios where they have ergonomist and fancy massages, is to change your posture often. Any one posture for a long time is bad, even straight (albeit one that causes the less stress in a given moment).
Your tongue is also super tactile. We spend most of our toddler years discovering this.
You can look at anything around you, anything, and your brain knows exactly what it would be like to lick it, even if you've never done it before. Taste, texture, residue etc.. it's quite freaky
Oh and my thighs are really good at imagining my phone just buzzed.
Hey cut our friend some slack, it's probably PTSD from covid. Gather round, grandpas gonna tell a story..
There was a time you see, when it was not allowed to return your cart at the store as they had to be cleaned, you had to return it at the corral with the other biohazards.
They say that out there in the masses, some are still mentally in lockdown.
That's the only difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. A dictatorship can run with dying illiterate slaves and still make a lot of money (see Elons Dad's small loan of one emerald mine). In a democracy the money comes from the productivity of the citizens. That's the only reason you get highways, schools, hospitals..
So they started out by making us more productive by giving a ton of amenities to the boomers. But now they need more, so they are cutting back on things that make us productive, while demanding we be more productive.
This is ridiculous and not how most places function. Education benefits your employer and they get a ton of tax cuts and incentives. They even try to make you do it on your own time and get benefits like you had done it on their time. Don't let them.
Obviously they can cause trouble and not everyone can find a new job so it's a tough choice, but let's not normalize it. CE is different, thats a degree and youre only getting reimbursed because they have a tax incentive to do so. If the business isn't willing to invest in you they don't have to, but then you know you should stop investing in them.
Unpopular take but despite it being a popular thing, we want jury nullification to come from individual conclusions that this law does not apply despite the circumstances, and not because they know they can. Every study ever has shown that people who know about jury nullification tend to dismiss evidence more often, and are more easily deceived by a sympathetic/ non-sympathetic looking defendant. It's not even a law, it's the result of the fact juries can't be prosecuted for their decisions so really they can do whatever they want. This is enough to know that technically you can "nullify the law". That goes both ways, people can convict without evidence
Saying the law doesn't actually apply despite the person having done the thing the law says not to do is very different from saying the punishment should be nil. This could also keep you from ever serving on a jury and telling others about this in certain circumstances could be a crime. All the legal minds who looked into this agree it should still remain a thing, but it shouldn't be told to jurors explicitly. When you serve you swear to uphold the law, so it's tricky to nullify without ~purgery~ perjury except for very very special cases.
This is not a good YSK, you should understand what the law is as a juror. You could in theory reword this entire post without actually using the term and that would probably be helpful, but super complicated to write.
There's an interesting book on psychology (by a nobel Prize winner) called "Thinking Fast and Slow", Daniel Khaneman.
It's called regression to the mean. The military said that yelling after bad pilots made them good and praising good pilots made them bad. Kahneman proved that yelling at them when they were good made them bad too and vice versa. It's just that great pilots can sometimes be bad, and bad pilots can sometimes be good, it had little to do with how they pushed them. Along with loss aversion, people are pretty terrible judges of value.
You can't teach/explain everything. Small warnings and you can talk about it when it happens, when they understand. You shouldn't need to prove they're crazy or that you're sane. Most people who do aren't.
Doesn't really matter. The important bit is he has no idea either. (It's likely the former and he's blaming the weirdos trying to get in)
