Oh okay, then yours is definitely superior. Good thing it’s mine now.
Hi, there’s a post for this meetup already.
It’s here: https://www.lesswrong.com/events/5TKo5CHZyWAuxauRi/everywhere-meetup
But I guess this one is more official.
What are you planning to make? What did you like from what you tried?
Thanks, the page was causing my computer to freeze. I tried editing it twice.
Where can we talk about it? He has comments turned off.
Nooooo, I’ve been saying it wrong in my head the whole time.
Also, if you’re going to put something somewhere that’s not in its place, put it in a place that you’ll HAVE to clean soon. I had a lot of success putting all my school-related stuff on my bed throughout the day in high school because I was guaranteed to pack it all up into my backpack because I had to use the bed to sleep.
How do you pronounce “Yvain”?
That’s interesting, because I think I usually refrain from vengeance by default, but I do try to like … limit further interaction and stuff. Maybe that’s similar.
The way I was thinking about it is that there’s an internal feelings component—like, do you still feel sad and hurt and angry? Then there’s the updating on evidence component—are they likely to do that or similar things again? And then there’s also a behavioral piece, where you change something in the way you act towards/around them (and I’m not sure if vengeance or just running awaaay both count?) So I wasn’t sure which combination of those were part of “forgiveness” in common usage. It sounds like you’re saying internal + behavioral, right?
Does anyone have a working definition of “forgiveness”? Given that definition, do you find it to be a useful thing to do?
It might help to precise-ify some of the language around what you mean by “more friends” and “more popular”? What kind of friends? What kind of popularity? Are there types of friends or popularity you don’t want? Also, what kind of people can you usually hang out with one-on-one?
Also, when buying and wearing clothes, pay attention to how you feel! If you’re wearing the spiffiest thing in the world but you feel uncomfortable in it for whatever reason, it’ll show!
Be careful about using this! I have a sneaking suspicion that my car-sickness resulted in an aversion to cars.
I briefly worked at a desk with my back to two doors, which made me less likely to take breaks to read articles because I never knew who might be walking up behind me and looking at my screen.
See, I always worry that the easiest way to get through grading is to just give everyone A’s regardless of what they turned in. So I feel like you somehow have to factor in a reward for quality or that’s what your system will collapse into?
But doesn’t that make you inclined to not read as carefully or grade as thoroughly or not leave as many comments? “Oh whatever, that was mostly right. Yay, high score!”
I’m both waiting around to see if anyone wants to write up an answer to the flirting question, while also thinking about whether some gender relations questions can first be decomposed into a series of well-written polls, so we could see which issues are the most contentious. Can polls be embedded into top-level posts?
Thanks for the link! It makes it much clearer to me how this project started.
Feel free to discuss any gender-related issues that you find relevant, especially responses to the questions that are posted in the thread below by your fellow LWers. [...] It is ok if they are half-formed, stream-of-consciousness writings.
However, I’m wondering if we would make more progress on gender issues if these submissions were structured essay prompts that requiring more argument or analysis? For example, a weekly (monthly?) gender-related question prompt with compiled responses. I ask because my reaction upon seeing this post was that this person is probably just sorta rambling about themselves, but if they were trying to make a cohesive point, then it would be kind of an unflattering one. Now that I have more reason to think that it’s most likely the first option, I’m wondering if there’s room for more structured posts.
An example of a gender-related writing prompt might be:
Do you believe that flirting with others is an ethical means of accomplishing non-sexual goals? Please define your terms and provide examples to illustrate your stance.
It’s also gender-neutral, so anyone could respond? I guess the examples might be anecdotes that might require anonymity, but then the authors can use analogies instead.
We are in the front patio! Look for a janky blue sign and an orange jacket.
