Hahaha IKR I keep hearing that advice and like has it EVER worked for ANYONE? If someone doesn't believe things can get better, then you can't make a depressed horse drink or however it goes. The thing that needs to be learned CANNOT be communicated.

I discovered it for myself after like 6 months of therapy. Give it a shot if you can. Trust me, being smug about it to people online is so worth it.

Is the tradeoff with the potential positive influence worth it? Are there ways to mitigate the potential negatives?

What's the potential positive influence here? Genuinely trying to find one. Is it that a cop can tell the board "oh that's no big deal we assault everyone?" Policing isn't hard to understand, if it were there might be some minimum training standards somewhere.

The positive influence is just that a cop understands police work.

It seems obvious to me that that's important knowledge for a team tasked with regulating police work.

There are plenty of standards. and all cops go through a ~6 month Police Academy before they get the badge.

And if you think you know as much about police work as someone who has done it for decades, I don't think we can get much further in this discussion.

The point is that "understanding police work" is irrelevant when you're building a body of neutral observers

Doesn't Ctrl+Shift+v already paste without formatting?

That's what it claims to do in many apps, yes. I still end up pasting into notepad and copying from there to get real paste-without-formatting.

> In a lot of places, it is socially unacceptable to wear the same thing for days in a row

This piques my curiosity as it's definitely not the case where I live. Can I ask what sorts of places?

I grew up in Indiana, in the interior of the US. I'm female, if that helps. It was never acceptable for me to wear the same thing for days in a row. This is so pervasive that I used to have a system to make sure I avoided that while not having to launder things if they weren't dirty. The first person I met that did that was an exchange student from Germany - we were both 17 at the time. I've since moved to Norway and really don't know anymore if folks notice: I always just wear black and usually buy multiples of the same item. Even if I wear something different, it looks the same. Plus, half of my social group is other immigrants and might not represent society really well.

I've heard similar things from women who worked in majority-women offices in e.g. HR. They were expected to steadily rotate, even wearing the same vest over other stuff two days in a row would result in questions "where they had slept last night" from their co-workers.

I doubt psychology will ever change like alchemy into chemistry, but perhaps advancements in our understanding of the mind will take a different form?

The article doesn't suggest that at all, as far as I can tell. None of what you quoted indicates that is.

Wow, what a beautiful video. I really enjoyed trying to figure out what events and phenomena the different shapes/patterns in the diagram represent.

If that's how you interpret the question, then the whole concept of having "good" or "bad" taste is incoherent to begin with. If it's just your opinions on what you enjoy while not harming yourself or anyone else, then obviously nobody's taste can be better than that of anyone else.

Granted, starting from this interpretation could easily lead people to interpret "good" as "refined"; I suppose that makes sense.

Many of us click randomly or invert our true response to throw off data collectors. This is pretty low stakes after all.
