Hey, girl. I am 40, and cis-male. My experience might not be reflective, but I prefer to offer some support instead of just reading this and leaving it alone.

Please know that we all do feel down, we all feel trapped, and beaten, and defeated time to time. I had a very dark period in my 20s, only solved in my early 30s.

Please know that, even if that’s not apparent, there are people that do care about you. Try to be around them more often.

Sometimes financial insecurity creates these kind of thoughts, and if that’s the case I have no easy advice. But just know that, it is not failure if you decide to put a pause on your PhD, take care of yourself, then come back to it.

Sending love!

Technocracy is a form of government in which the decision-makers are selected based on their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge.

I don’t think it means what you think it means. The concept you are looking for, probably, is “techno feudalism”.

I hear you. Not everything is because of the smart phones and social media. And I agree that awareness is increasing the diagnosis numbers.

I would be sceptical if I didn’t know of this random author as well. But look into him, at least check his Wikipedia article. Maybe see his TED talk. Read a couple interviews. Don’t accept my recommendation at face value.

There are a lot of people out there trying to make us feel lacking so they can sell something. But I don’t think Haidt is one of those people.

I learned a thing or two from his material. Your mileage might vary, obviously.

I need your notes. My daughter is 2.5. I would appreciate if you can share your experience, how is it working, how you set the rules of engagement, etc.

You might want to take a look at this: https://jonathanhaidt.com/anxious-generation/

I am not sure if this is an orientalist/racist comment (no women in streets because it is the Middle East/they are Arabs) or a super based one (it is the stronghold of the more religious/jihadist groups).

For clarity, he says:

Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them.

Türkiye didn’t “enter” into either of those countries with its own troops. Rather they used Syrian mercs, and provided technical support, including “selling” their drones.

I don’t think what he means is sending in troops in this situation as well. Türkiye (or rather, maybe, Erdoğan’s ruling party) has existing strong ties with both Hamas and Hezbollah.

So my assumption on how this translates would be arms shipments to Lebanon. I don’t think they can get anything in to Gaza. And I don’t think either Lebanon or Palestine would welcome Syrian mercenaries.

But let’s see.

You realise NATO has a “strategic communications” division?

That was not the argument above, was it?

What kind of MFA you can use on a router, BTW?

I have a FIDO2 with Nfc, and it works. Is it convenient? No. Is it more secure? Yes.

A FIDO2 hardware key should do the trick. Not all MFA are based on communications.

Because they were “leaving money on the table” instead of getting it for their shareholders.

I’d read that!

I mean, who doesn’t think the dynamics of the society and power structures of the system and the injustice of it all during their showers? I personally find myself thinking about these, almost exclusively, on my showers. Is it an age thing, maybe?
