  • Good catch! The internet loves simpe rules for whether somebody deserves a black hat or a white hat without pesky details like a thought process.

  • I was wrong to call you the Psych 101 student, since you weren't doing the Psych 101 student behavior I described. "They're not the same thing" is more of a typical social media comment from someone who simply likes to argue, as you're continuing to do. Not interested.

  • Found the Psych 101 student.

    I would defy anyone to distinguish between the smirk the article describes - "a half-smile where one side of the lip lifts slightly" from the google definition of smirk - "a facial expression characterized by a subtle, often one-sided, upward curving of the mouth, often without showing teeth."

  • Article goes on to say the same smirk is also a non-narcissist's sign of satisfaction at seeing justice served.

    So will you be the Psych 101 student who is suddenly a psychoanalyst and labels people because they smirk, or will you understand that something you saw on lemmy doesn't equip you to judge anyone?

  • Really? The sound is horrible...

  • In the early 60s my teenage cousin constantly held a "transistor radio" like this up to her ear, listening to top 40 stations. I bet it sounded similar.

  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

    on your link. But yeah it would be great if competition were about improvements.

  • No confusion at all, I was talking about car company bailouts only, since the other person mentioned "all the bailouts US car manufacturers received". I think the Bush/Obama thing you're referring to was TARP, which was for financial institutions.

  • To clarify, the bailouts of US car companies were Chrysler around 1980 and GM and Chrysler around 2008. To help them avoid bankruptcy and the resulting loss of jobs, they received loan guarantees (like having a cosigner) and direct loans, all of which they paid back. I think the public generally has a misconception that a corporate "bailout" means they just giving them money, but it doesn't.

    Note - I'm not trying to convince you not to hate corporations, and there's no need for a lecture on how evil they are, I know they are. Just clarifying that one topic.

  • I'm not sure how repairable EVs are either, since my 2013 Leaf never needed repairs in 12 years. Just tires and wiper blades.

  • Capitalism is all about competition unless it's not.

  • what are good in-person activities for making friends?

    Jump

  • Go to meetup.com, look for subjects you're interested in, and find a local meetup to join. Can be almost anything - wine tasting, board games, gardening, whatever. Pretty much any hobby or professional interest. I met my D&D game group that way before COVID and we're still playing weekly. There are even meetups just to hang out in a group.

  • Difficulty is hard to measure - I'd say about yay much, but not a lot more.

  • What's appealing about people who are seen as extrovert but describe themselves as introvert?

    Jump

  • The difference between their self-image and what they project makes them interesting. I think a lot of apparent extroverts actually feel socially inadequate and compensate for it by over-socializing. They need a constant stream of reassurance that nobody knows how introverted they are. Sometimes it makes them high maintenance, but they make up for it by being fun to be around, which they're great at.
