Honestly I'd argue being open to feedback is the primary requirement to succeeding at...well most anything long-term. So it's not exactly a small difference

i think people of almost every political position like to flatter themselves by saying they're uniquely receptive to feedback and new information and therefore a superior critical thinker. like, saying it does not make it so.

not being misogynistic is generally a good thing and it's more controllable on our end. this is a bit of an odd thing to suggest, other factors may play a part but that's not a good reason to not try crack down on such behaviour.

you could have an entirely different meaning of course but i think misguided seems to imply some sort of normative commitment here.

mario-thumbs-up based on the timing of this i feel like the gender demos survey had a hand in these measures being implemented too, right?

a lot of libs who are ideologically committed to being libs were affluent and got good grades in school. being a liberal isn't a reflection of your intelligence it's about socioeconomic status, there are plenty of 'smart' liberals.

it's slightly cope to say that the iraqi army was incompetent imo

like it was probably about as good as the nva, coalition just had an enormous advantage in sensors tech. proto-digital army vs analog army

i fucking hated law school despite having a lot of formal education in history and philosophy and i barely passed it. anecdotally having an interest in humanities made me dislike studying law.

never bet against icefrog

i don't know how best to describe it but valve's balancing and design philosophy is just fun, it doesn't have this sort of sanitised feel to it that say riot or blizzard have with their games where things have to be 'fair'

'mogging' and 'mog' are just inherently funny words in a phonetic sense tbh, like i get that its incel lingo but its really fucking funny.
