tonight i explained to my 3 year old why "the police arrest Bad People" (a sentence uttered in one episode of a toddler show she watches) is incorrect in an age-appropriate way.i feel immense relief about this because i can't maintain my integrity if i allow my kid to develop the idea that cops and rules are inherently good.

i told my kid that a rule can be bad, and that a rule is bad if it causes you to hurt people. the example of a bad rule i gave was it being illegal in some places to give food to houseless people.i said that being arrested doesn't mean that you've done something bad, and it typically means that you've broken a rule. so i told her that the job of police is to arrest and punish people who have broken a rule, even if the rule is one that hurts people.

@Jo @joshua hexadecimal activists want you to think that base ten is a social construction instead of a biological fact!

@space_cadet @vortex_egg In Steven Hassan's work on cults, he finds that cults and cultlike groups don’t desire gullible people because gullible people can be easily swayed against the cult. cults instead use people's critical thinking ability (and their faith in their own critical thinking ability) against them. people who doubt their own critical thinking ability are much less susceptible to cults.

@space_cadet @vortex_egg if qanon supporters are as gullible as you posit they are, it would be much easier to sway them away from their belief system. additionally, cult leaders have added new material to what they want followers to believe, sometimes contradicting previous material, more frequently than you posit.

@qwxlea @vortex_egg @space_cadet please consider the long history of jewish leftist radicalism before using the word "religion" as you are using it.

@qwxlea @vortex_egg @space_cadet idk what your experience of religion has been but it would be good to ask yourself if by "religion" you more specifically mean Christianity or Christian fundamentalism. judaism does not have an emphasis on faith or belief or theology. if what you are saying about organized religion in general is not applicable to judaism or buddhism, it's not applicable to religion in general.

@calculsoberic I'm asking the question mainly to invite people who know more yiddish than me to give opinions on which would be the best way to say "shitpost" (verb) so its connotations would be by yiddish speakers without much explanation.I'm leaning toward drekpostn because drek is also used to mean garbage or something worthless. kakpostn might be interpreted as like, posting online while sitting on the toilet pooping

(u.s. specific bc i am not knowledgeable about laws elsewhere about this)if you are a woman (or perceived as such), and a potential employer asks you if you have children during a job interview, it is illegal under laws prohibiting sex discrimination in employment. if an interviewer asks you this, and you are offered the job, be very wary of the employer being willing to break other nondiscrimination laws if you accept the offer.

correction: i think it's illegal to ask anyone "do you have children" during a job interview but this happens much more frequently to women (including trans women) and to ppl perceived as women than to cis men

i found a pain scale designed by a person with chronic pain and realized that I've been under-rating my pain for yearsI've been reporting a level of 6 as a 3, and anything under a 4 as zero because other pain scales are like "8 is {injury I've never experienced} and 4 is {other thing I've never experienced}" 🫠here's the one that works for me:https://www.painscale.com/article/mankoski-pain-scale#ChronicPain #disability
