  • I have a 25ft HDMI cable that works fine for everything except sometimes when I open a new tab in Firefox, the screen temporarily goes blank/no-signal for a couple seconds. Also sometimes when the dryer turns on.

  • They're descriptions of people by Carl Jung, one of the old timey psychologists. He's the one that came up with all the vague horoscope-like definitions:

    You know that one of the unfortunate qualities of introverts is that they so often cannot help putting the wrong foot forward. ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. II, Pages 35-36.

    Moreover there are not a few introverts who are so painfully aware of the shortcomings of their attitude that they have learned to imitate the extraverts and behave accordingly, and vice versa there are extraverts who like to give themselves the air of the introvert because they think they are then more interesting. ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. II, Pages 564-565

    In pathological cases, as you know, unconscious love also becomes a source of heightened fear of the object for the introvert, and, conversely, unconscious fear becomes a source of powerful attraction to the object for the extravert. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    The introvert does feel, too, and very intensely so, only in a different way than the extravert does. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    Whereas the extravert needs the object to bring his type to perfection and to cleanse his feeling, the introvert experiences this as a horrible violation and disrespect of his personality, because he absolutely refuses to be, so to speak, the chemical dry cleaner for the feelings of extraverts. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    This is not the case in the introvert. His representation of things is inadequate, precisely because of the lack of feeling- into [the object]. His thinking is in accordance with outer reality, but not with his own inner reality. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    This explains the often- observed fact that the introvert thinks and preaches all sorts of nice things but does not do them himself, in fact, does the contrary; whereas the extravert does all sorts of good and nice things but does not think them, in fact, often the contrary. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    The extravert knows, by feeling himself into others, by what human means people can be won over, whereas the introvert tries to create values in himself with which he tries to impress and force others toward him, or even bring them to his knees. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    Conversely, the introvert strains the pleasure- unpleasure mechanism in his unconscious by the conscious, idealistic desire to create the highest values proper to force others to come to him, thus degrading people to objects of his desire. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    The ideally oriented introverted person is faced with the fact that he scares away from himself precisely the human love and joy that he is really trying to find behind all his desire to impress and to be superior, and that he keeps and chains to himself only those inferior persons who know best how to cater to his desire. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    While the introvert’s conscious attitude is an impersonal and just attitude of power, his unconscious attitude aims at inferior lust and pleasure; and while the extravert’s conscious attitude is a personal love for human beings, his unconscious attitude aims at unjust, tyrannical power. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    I would say: the introvert also tries, through the hypothesis of abstraction, to reach the object, actually reality, which seems to him chaotic only because of the projection of his unused and therefore undeveloped feeling. He tries to conquer the object by thinking. But he wants to reach the object quite as much as the extravert. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    The only goal for the ideally oriented introvert is the production of impersonal, imperative values, and for the equally ideally oriented extravert the only goal is the love for the object. ~Carl Jung, Jung-Schmid Correspondence, Pages 55-62.

    The fear the introvert feels rests on the unconscious assumption that the object is too much animated, and this is a part of the ancient belief in magic. ~Carl Jung, 1925 Seminar, Page 65

    The extravert is controlled by his relation to the thing without, the introvert by his relation to the thing within. ~Carl Jung, 1925 Seminar, Page 64

    The conscious extravert values his connection with the outer object and fears his own inner self. The introvert has no fear of himself, but great fear of the object, which he comes to endow with extraordinary terrors. ~Carl Jung, 1925 Seminar, Page 65

    The extravert, on the other hand, takes his unconscious material in an introverted way, that is, with extreme caution and with many incantations to exorcise the inner power the object exercises over him. ~Carl Jung, 1925 Seminar, Page 66

    I started with the primitive idea of the flowing out and the flowing in of energy, and from this I constructed the theory of the introverted and extraverted types. ~Carl Jung, 1925 Seminar, Page 86

  • I think it's more like if you're so opposed to what any authority figure tells you to do that you will do the opposite of what your doctor tells you, for example, sometimes out of spite or vindication.

  • Communism as a theme is definitely making a comeback if you talk to Russian people in Russian. They think theirs is different from "western Communism" though.

  • I don't know much about Ukraine but I know the one in Catalonia had roving gangs of "law enforcers" who would execute "capitalists/fascists" without trial, so I'm not sure it's an ideal to look up to.

  • I remember growing up in the 90's being told by friends, family members and teachers that I don't need or deserve help because everything is easier for a man, or being told by my boss that she won't promote men because she doesn't trust men with money, or women being mean to me because of my gender and then telling me it's payback for things they read men did to women decades ago. And then when I try to talk about these experiences, people telling me they don't believe me, or they didn't happen, or they don't matter.

    And I remember, as a kid, saying "one day there's gonna be a whole generation of boys who grew up around women like you, and they're going to want payback".

    Well here we are. Keep blaming internet propaganda.

  • The hardware was usually based around an ATMEGA328p, which you can just buy. There's also loads of clones on the internet, some with sexier designs.

  • Pioarduino is where it's at anyway.

  • Arduino the code platform is still open source. So just don't buy an original Arduino piece of hardware, buy a clone, and don't pay for any of their subscription services.

  • Can I see those studies?

    I suspect people might not change their minds overtly but might internally, slowly, over time.

    It's way easier to admit you were wrong to yourself in your head than to another human being.

  • I keep getting ads for crack cocaine. Been a couple months now, every time I log into Facebook, "CRYSTAL CLEAR, 100% PURE" or some shit.

    Like what are the drug cops even supposed to do now, arrest Facebook?

  • My DIY floor thermostat has a 20 cent watchdog chip that requires a ping from the main MCU every 10 seconds or it will cut power to the heater.

  • what is this drunk font?

  • I don't think a naked bike ride is gonna kill them.

  • "My dear, what you are doing is simply idiotic. When you step on the tail of a snake, it will simply bite you. You must cut off its head!" - Woman who lived through Nazi Germany, "The World At War" (1973)

  • This feels good but I don't know that it's a good idea long-term. This may just antagonize the forces the feds send in even further, when they need to be reminded that we're all just Americans. Don't forget the cult deprogramming tactics:

    Build rapport and trust. Rebuild your relationship, if it’s broken. If you were the one to break contact, apologize. Reach out and be warm. Remember the good times. Focus on common values and areas you both enjoy (children, pets, music, dancing, fishing, sports). At first, don’t talk about controversial topics. Avoid “hot topics.” Just try to connect with the other person and have positive interactions. Build credibility and sustain positive interaction. Build a long-term relationship based upon respect, compassion, and love.

    Do what you can to remove or minimize media that continually indoctrinates to only one point of view. This may only apply to certain types of cult groups. But it may be in the form of social media, videos, or television. You can even agree to make a pact to go on a media fast together. Don’t make this about “them” or “their problem.” Make this a fun thing to do together as a “break.” Be prepared to honor requests on your end.

    Ask thought-provoking questions while being warm and curious. Be prepared to listen deeply. You will know if you have listened well if you can repeat back to them what they said. Be humble and open to hearing what they say.

    Keep conversations positive, productive, and civil. Never get angry. Stay resourceful. It is better to end the interaction than to say something counter-productive. It is better to return to the conversation at another time, rather than the person cutting off all communication out of anger or fear.

    Adopt a general tone of curiosity and interest in their positions. Pretend you’re an impartial counselor. Really try to get inside their beliefs.

    Try to connect them with their authentic identity before these extreme beliefs. Remind them of past experiences together. Talk about the connection you once had and how you miss it.

    Don’t “tell” them anything. Help them to make discoveries on their own.

    Try to get them to look at reality from many different perspectives. This can include many things.

    Teach them about indoctrination and mind control. Use examples for which they have no attachment.

    Use examples of cult leaders with similar qualities to their group's leader(s) and have conversations about it.

    Share feelings and perceptions, not judgments. Use “I feel” statements. Don’t claim to be “right.” Stick to what your perception is when reflecting back to them.

    Ask a question and then wait for them to think and respond. Be patient. You do not need to fill silence.

    Caution: an abundance of facts won't necessarily help. Do not overwhelm them with information, especially if it attacks the leader or doctrine.

  • I'm glad people here are onto the attack on our internet.
