Wake up, boys. We gotta make policing better at actually solving crimes.

Dan's right. The problem is that even if most people's preferred education policy includes notions of teaching children to become productive citizens, there are multiple competing conceptions of what a "productive citizen" is, especially in 2025.
I don't think education is separate from politics, but it is downstream of it: it's a political end rather than a means, because education is the cultivation of human potential that forms part of the good life.

Envy is kinda stupid tbh. I've never had a zero sum perspective on success. All I ever want to see from other people is gratitude for what they have. If you're winning at life and happy about it, I'm happy too. I love that for you.

This entire thread from @jacleo13 is brilliant. Gets at the heart of problems with both self-"taught" internet dudes—myself & Jack included—and being overly credulous towards, or reliant on, LLMs as primary sources. He's spitting hot fire here! No lies detected.
@freganmitts Yeah I feel like it encourages and exacerbates the worst parts of internet-autodidactism. Your bad idiosyncratic assumptions/questions are never given the chance to be corrected. Unlike Google or even social media you aren’t being referred to answers by other people, and the LLM.

Thinking the only way you can ensure viewpoint diversity is by having zero standards for discourse. is like thinking the only way you can play a game fairly is by having no rules. It's not only wrong, but demonstrably antithetical to even doing the intended thing at all.

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that OPs with links instead of pics or videos will be suppressed. If the post/link doesn't need the visibility, I'll just say eff it and not bother doing the obligatory threading rigamarole.

Watched Too Big to Fail this morning. Great flick. It deserves a lot of credit for being good, especially given all the reasons why a star studded TV movie about a historical event would/should normally suck. Also the casting is low-key brilliant.

I think I've already said this before, but it bears iteration:. If/When I ascend the Throne of the Notable, I'm gonna spare y'all fake humility, feigned shock, or reverse psych routine. Acting surprised or ungrateful about one's status is, ahem, a pretty cringe pantomime.

This is actually a real thing and it's very important to practice, especially for new and returning readers. Don't be discouraged if you can't finish something in one sitting, one day, or even one week. But train your brain to enjoy the exercise, and do it longer. It *will* work!.
Attempting to workout my attention span. Tracking how long I can read a book without fatigue or distraction, divided into 4 sets of 20 minute reps. Might need to bump that up, not sure I’m training to failure. Bodybuilder of the mind.

After talking with some friends, I'm putting energy as my #4 most important political issue. It narrowly beats out conservationism, which I had originally considered analogous but ultimately decided was distinct and a bit too niche. Am I missing anything obvious for the Top 15?
