It was, in my recollection, literally written down that we could not *tell* the caller about the existence of the escape hatch. Trainee: Are we allowed to hint about the existence of the escape hatch? Trainer: The rule is you are not allowed to tell the caller about it.

I don't know, I'd be maybe more worried about abruptly firing the nuclear power people then the nuclear weapons people. Now I think about it, I hope that didn't happen.

I often learn about social expectations from people telling me I shouldn't listen to them. "my child's science fair project is supposed to look good?" I whisper to myself. "I'm supposed to have how many decorations for Christmas? there are beauty standards for vulvas?"

Can confirm. Except that you do this in your head while people in an open plan office require you to repeatedly attend meetings.

sigh why does nobody ever tell us these things (when I tried concerta I always thought it lasted less than half as long as it was supposed to, and was strong even on the lowest dose)

I feel like I pretty much completely agree with that essay, but I would still say something more like "moving towards having no false beliefs is useful" not "never have any false beliefs". I didn't say so to start with because it seemed like quibbling if there's small exceptions

There's a minority for what I'm instinctively attracted to is different to who I'm most likely to want to date. Notably, whether they're available or not. But also sometimes I'm attracted to disagreeable people. I think I was correct to answer for what I found hot.

Apparently I can overthink almost any poll. It seems like I find all eye colours slightly attractive even though that's not logically consistent.

Average mathematician discovers zero new numbers. Georg Cantor who discovered ℵ1 numbers all at once should not have counted.
