For those not clear, AppleTalk was created at a time where there was no universal standard in networking. The “standard network” you think of today, a bunch of computers plugged into a router, existed but wasn’t the de-facto setup. There was still experimentation going on.
Apple ported some of the AppleTalk features, such as Network Discovery, into Bonjour which was introduced in 2002. Once that became mature, there was no reason to keep AppleTalk around.
We do, everything that matters is metric but societal change is hard. We can’t even get boomers to vote for the party that DOESNT want to take away their social security. How can we get them to use liters after a lifetime of gallons?
Because this title is kind of BS. The imperial system measurements are not based on the metric system, in the mid 20th century the inch was redefined as being 25.4mm. Because the world was in the process of standardizing measurements and people didn’t want to give up imperial units, so an accurate reference point was established. The undstandardized imperial measuring system was around long before the metric system was developed.
That was my comprehension as well, it just seemed highly impractical to define a completely unique system (in this case imperial) while there is a largely used alternative (metric). Both systems coexisting makes much more sense.
Ironically, this was played for the Class of 98 at our Senior Prom and the lyric for the song was Class of 97, the version from the album before they re-released it for that money grab with Class of 99.
The song was just a retelling of the original ‘Wear Sunscreen’ written by Mary Schmich, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune in 1997.
Medical organizations such as the American Cancer Society recommend the use of sunscreen because it aids in the prevention of squamous cell carcinomas.
As of 2021, only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since there is currently insufficient data to support recognizing petrochemical UV filters as safe.
“superior attitude” is an obnoxious way to describe someone rebelling against shitty rules because they have standards. “you’re not special” etc is the usual bullshit I get – and of course I am not – what I think we rightfully think is that nobody should be beholden to shitty practices and standards.
If you want to call it a theory then I suggest working to have it peer reviewed. Otherwise, just call it a hypothesis. I see issues with it, personally, but I’m just one person and am not an expert. I’m finishing my undergrad in psych, but the rest of my comment is based purely on recreational study following experts in personality disorders and extensive therapy myself.
Main thing I’d note is that most people will show some level of narcissistic traits, but meeting the full criteria to label anyone anti authoritarian as narcissistic goes against the point you make in the first few paragraphs that we shouldn’t be so quick to throw the term around. Feeling entitled to better pay on it’s own can be justified, especially if it’s in tandem with wanting fellow workers to receive that same benefit. Quite empathetic, actually. Turning off empathy in specific settings also suggests it’s not a pervasive trait, which is an important piece of the DSM that was not mentioned.
I definitely see the argument that some anarchists will meet the criteria. And I agree with a good, maybe even majority of the points, like reducing stigma. Plus, it’s expensive to get through an offical peer review process, and you’re right that many folks with NPD could never afford that. But I think it would help to at least include some expert opinions and case study examples to support what seems to be mostly anecdotal testimony. Or if you have been diagnosed yourself, build on that as a primary case study example (cuz you do call yourself one, but it’s not clear if you went through an assessment for it).
Super interesting idea, though - I’m gonna save it to reread and mull it over some more. Props on getting it published, for sure!
Ninja edit: Holy shit this turned into a much longer comment than I intended, sorry!
Eh, if I’ve learned anything living in a shitty little town; you are special. A deeply distressing number of people have no morality, standards, or thoughts of their own.
The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!
I don’t know if this qualifies, but I go on call for my job and get woken up sometimes. I use a really annoying alert tone to make sure I wake up. Unfortunately, some times when I’m not on call I hallucinate hearing that tone as I’m dozing off or in a dead sleep and it makes me shoot straight up in bed.
I have ADHD and am a night owl, so that kind of time management was always super stressful for me, to the point that I would set up a dozen or so alarms so I would wake up in the morning. After some time it was so ingrained that I sometimes heard the alarm sound randomly when sleeping, always causing me to be wide awake in the middle of the night with racing pulse.
Gotta get rid of those regulations so we can have people drinking swill milk again.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – In the weeks after passing a bill, allowing West Virginians to drink raw milk, one delegate brought the drink in to celebrate and, eventually, several lawmakers have gotten sick.
I don’t totally disagree with raw milk, but it shouldn’t be allowed to be destributed. If you go to a local farm and pick up some milk that hasn’t been pasteurized, that seems reasonable, and honestly a lot better than the current system.
I don't think raw milk should be available to buy except directly on a farm. Yes, we have refrigeration now and you can TB test the cows regularly but there is zero reason to go back to the times of listeria and tuberculosis killing and disabling children just because someone read some nonsense on the Internet.
Yeah, if can sell shit it’s a successful business & brave owners should be rewarded with profits not because of contributions to society but purely on what they could push out. However, suffering and death seems to add that extra bit of flavour to profit that we humans must obviously enjoy very much. Its fair to assume that because we really are naturally talented in not just inventing but also realising & mass producing horror beyond human imagining.
Yup. You can get it in the USA at Asian grocery stores, and even in some American stores located in areas with large Asian populations. And it’s fucking delicious.
I can’t argue the classical Greek etymology, but the argument about redundancy flies in the face how I was taught the Lord’s prayer. “Give us this day our daily bread” ~= “Give us our bread today as you do every day”.
Even as a kid I always just thought it was a metaphor. It’s not like god is out here giving people literal bread everyday so I figured it was code for “stuff you need to be okay” whether that’s bread or the courage to face the day.
Realistically, they probably got that number from 23andMe or similar.
Mine is 2.6% for Indigenous American, which is well within margin of error of what I heard from my family. (Note that those tests actually have very wide error bars anyway)
In the US, it depends on the tribe and they decide how much you need. Some are stricter than others. Canada and the US have been competing for worst treatment of first nations for a long time.
It’s handled by individual tribal governments. Some are very strict about who they let in, others are much more liberal about it. Basically it isn’t our federal government that makes that determination.
Just below you somebody posted that Barker was of 1/8 Native heritage.
Yet he grew up on a reservation, and even strict tribal elders should (and probably did) take into consideration Barker’s positive accomplishments for society in general, such as his campaign of awareness to spay/neuter pets to help keep the population under control humanely, and he was never afraid of using his microphone and airtime to remind his large audience every day, for decades.
What I’m saying is, even if 1/8 wasn’t technically enough, he could have made it in just like accomplished artists often receive honorary PhDs from prestigious Universities, even when they did not have (or finish) their formal education when younger.
57% of which tribe? With more than half, I would expect you to have a fairly strong upbringing in the tribe with various customs and your parents likely know how to get you enrolled.
Not always that simple. My father has tried for years but gets stonewalled because of who his father was, my grandfather was disowned for marrying a white woman rather than leave her a single mother. In the end I think being cut off like that is what killed my grandfather really.
Some tribes have been in legal battles over the past few decades because they’re trying to disenroll people no matter how “native” they are. IIRC at least one tribe was limiting membership to only the descendants of the families that signed a specific treaty and then only if they had the paperwork to back it up. Which, if you know anything about the history of natives in this country, is really fucked up to require.
Not the one I remember but here’s an example of a tribe disenrolling people regardless of their “blood quantum”:
