Step 1: politicians must pay for their own legal troubles

Step 2: “The Association of Totally Real Concerned Citizens” starts filing lawsuits across the country

Step 3: any non-billionaire elected to a political office is bankrupted within a year

Step 4: surprised yellow rodent face

(Bonus step 5: JB Pritzker becomes president and solves world hunger with deep dish pizza)

Edit: line breaks

Ehm, while I appreciate the sentiment (as a properly deputized representative for all Germans), it may be not for nothing that the saying about not wanting to know how the sausage is made comes from Germany. Meat and sausages are veeery cheap here and while labor exploitation is certainly a big ingredient, I often wonder what the others are.

Maybe this research and language is intended to suggest that there is a point past which “confusingly and unintuitively designed” strongly resembles “intentionally deceiving”? We’re probably not going to get internal emails saying “make it complicated so that we can collect users’ data”.

Also, researchers don’t really control how university press departments write up their results. Even less so when they’re interviewed by media.

Addendum: Apple takes great pride in UI and user-centered design, and lately they have been highlighting privacy as a differentiator from Android. Maybe they just dropped the ball, maybe people don’t care, maybe people aren’t very bright. Still, some people have questions:)

Because it’s a stick to beat Muslim citizens with. It’s what all conservative French governments have been doing for the last 15 years, more or less openly depending on Le Pen’s (father or daughter) polling numbers. Darmanin is about as anti-Muslim pro-police-state as they come.

From noted Marxist-Leninist publication The Boston Globe? Right on

Thank you for recommending this. I was one of today’s lucky ten thousand 🥳

Redefine birth = conception. Solved.

Maybe it’s “Lichtjahr”? So as long as you stay within 3*10^15km of earth you should be fine 👍

Dragon’s Dogma?

I tried to look this up and while there were many many results, none of them seemed to really fit with OP’s question, so would you kindly tell us more about the gay Spock problem?

Maybe in 2022 or early 2023. But it’s increasingly people who sign up because it pays well (archive.is link to bloomberg article, telegram link if you understand Russian).

If you see Brad Pitt, better get off that train.

She is follows the developments in the crypto/blockchain world and explains them to lay audiences (she thinks it’s horse crap and a scam). Right now, she writes near-daily updates on the Sam Bankman-Fried trial.

Where I’m from you can enjoy some pork with boiled cabbage and potatoes or some nice potato stew with cabbage and lard or cabbage stuffed with minced pork (with potatoes) or, if it’s late in winter, some pickled cabbage with salted pork. And potatoes.

Korrektes Zitieren hat nichts mit der Plattform zu tun, über welche du es bezogen hast. Du schreibst ja auch nicht dazu, ob du es auf Papier in deiner Uni oder über Fernleihe oder über die elektronische Autobahn konsultiert hast. Solange du es wirklich konsultiert hast und den Regeln deiner Uni entsprechend zitierst, hast du deine Pflicht gegenüber der Uni und der Wissenschaft erfüllt. Und übererfüllt im Vergleich zu so einigen. Elsevier und Springer werden es überleben. Bonus-Klugscheiß: nur DOI angeben hört sich nach Formalitätenklatsche herausfordern an. Erleichtere dir das Leben, nutze Zotero oder so, die nehmen dir das lästige Formatieren und so ab. Klugscheiß-Genehmigungsnachweis: Doppel-Doktor.

I suggest googling reproducibility/replication crisis or Francesca Gino or have a look at RetractionWatch. I wish your portrait of scientists were true but alas.

Don’t give them ideas!

Germany uses paper ballots. 60 million eligible voters, 3/4 actually voted during the last federal elections.

Auf den Zauberstab klicken, DOI eingeben, Magieeee. Man kann es mit Word, Latex, etc. kombinieren und damit sehr einfach zitieren. Aber die richtige Magie kommt ganz am Ende, wenn Zotero die Bibliografie von alleine erstellt und formatiert. Sollte deine Unibibo ein Zotero Tutorial anbieten, kann ich das nur empfehlen.

Nostalgieglückstränen, nehme ich an. Ne? NE?!

Even that fear is not really supported by data, according to Cristobal Young’s The Myth of Millionaire Tax Flight.

Was that about the racism or about the cartoonish levels of lunacy and corruption? We got the racism covered and I’m sure we will give the rest a decent try soon. I, for one, look forward to the German regional and federal elections this year and next. I’m sure nothing bad will happen.

“Flood the zone with shit.” Steve Bannon 2018. I’d guess Trump does it instinctually but I wouldn’t be surprised if some people are quite intentional about it. Otoh, Musk has a history of tweeting wacky stuff you distract from bad news about one of his companies.

Does it have to do with the difference between one-off tasks and recurring tasks? I’ve asked myself similar questions to yours and sometimes I wonder if tedium is harder to accept when you know that, even if you finish this task today, you’ll have to do it again tomorrow, next week, etc. So why not skip it this once? (We all know it’s never just once)

Ok those are really big things. For those really big intimidating things, I found Barbara Oakley’s book/lectures on procrastination quite helpful. I think they are on YT. They helped me get unstuck during my PhD. For the smaller recurring things, let me know if you find a good strategy :) When it’s non-life-changing fun stuff (e.g. music/drawing/crafts), I try to focus on the joy that I get out of even just dicking around instead of how I suck compared to Picasso.
