All sorts of self-help advice grants this, but I have personal anecdotes that illustrate that this is likely the case. == Perfect Time-Sense == My school in India did not have clocks visible anywhere. When the school bell rang, you were on to your next class, but that was the only indicator that it was the next moment. My father eventually gave me my grandfather's smooth-..."

We walked about a little and ended up at this place Jun Won Dak, which turned out to be a small 4-person version of a bigger restaurant called Jun Won that had to close due to pandemic restrictions preventing patrons..."

For anyone who has played video games or run a business, they know that things often have not just a capital cost but also an operational cost. Societies are the same: over time they accumulate many things that add operational costs. Often, these things cannot be removed despite their costs because doing so is not politically palatable. A Benevolent Terrorist serves such societies..."

If you do that with your Samsung account then you won't be able to stay logged into your streaming service logins since your Samsung account is how your TV stores the login state (I know, crazy). This also makes Airplay unusable for things like streaming Youtube since the way to use accounts is to keep hitting the button over and over again until it suddenly lo..." current

In the 2000s this is mostly represented in English language content as villains whose motivation has a kernel of sense. But perhaps the most convincing villains<ref name="evil-force" /> are ones with a completely coherent world-view and philosophy, but with exactly opposite alignment. Almost all of us also have ease imagining how ''we'' would behave badly, so we imagine our enemies as those versio..." current

This is a view that most people find unobjectionable. Even exempting all the explanations about human nature, this is hard by default simply because transmitting information is hard and sometimes impossible. This is easily visible in hidden identity games where people are explicitly supposed to deceive the people they play with, but it's true in lots of cases. While some humans know this, since it's pre..." current

In general this is a pretty simple process: * You register online * Fill in some questionnaires about your life * Sign up for an appointment with All of Us * Attend the appointment And the process itself is fine. However, I was perhaps ten minutes late to my appointment and perhaps 10 minutes after I’d checked in, the fire alarm went off..." current

In tech, this is often because someone made fun of them not knowing something and so on and so forth. For me, I've never quit doing something because of that. I have sewn, fenced, shot a bow and arrow, rode a motorcycle, skated, wrote code, danced, and so on and loads of these things involve looking foolish to many people. And to be honest, I'd always wonder why someone "quit programming because..."
