Soma.fm and di.fm have some great channels. There’s another popular one I always forget at times like these.

This is standard for most books written by academics as they are usually a compilation of their published and unpublished prior work.

Of the last three non-fiction books I read two were 1/3 references, the third book I’d consider more like long form journalism rather than an academic work.

The current book is 1/3rd references by page count and about 1/5th notes at the bottom of the pages.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, noninvasive hands-on treatment that uses light touch to help release tension around your body’s connective tissue (fascia).

Craniosacral Biodynamics Treatment is what then?

I’m all for hands-on treatment, but there’s better modalities than whatever this is presented to be.

10% to pay for their costs - materials and labour

90% to pay for their new Cybertruck financing

$10,000 to install a socket, a breaker, and a transfer switch?

Surely not.

I mean, the nearly empty bag of cocaine isn’t necessary, Progressive Liberals do call* for their execution.

You can have any political opinion on HN so long as it’s a Liberal Progressive opinion.

In my “lived experience” <eye roll> this wasn’t so obvious here 15 years ago.

Everything you don’t agree with is just right wing nut jobs. Diversity of opinion, so long as it’s mine.

Between 1969 and 1998, the share of faculty identifying as “liberal” or “far-left” shifted only a tenth of a percentage point, from 44.7 percent to 44.8 percent.

Rural farmers aren’t responsible for whatever the fuck this is supposed to be.

I have another account here that is 15 years old, but it ended up getting shadow banned as Hacker News got progressively more Liberal Progressive Dance In The Streets when Charlie Kirk Got Shot, and I’m not afraid to point it out.

HN has become a place where you can say anything political, so long as it is the one true way of the Liberal Progressive Left.

It didn’t used to be like this. It used to be a place where the same comment could point out the pros and cons of both sides, and it would encourage deeply thought out conversation.

We really don’t.

And shouldn’t.

How does that work when they’re 60 with grandkids?

That seems like a really awkward way to describe the observation.

Wouldn’t the “same” pattern be if the increase was due to greater uptake in the opposite sex.

Did the TCL not have this option?

However, scorn and ridicule are also reasonable at times. And it started a conversation.

The first sentence seems to suggest: you are naive.

The second sentence indicates the writer believes many academics are naive.

Where is this contracts you allude to?

Not the wet lettuce straw man usage posited by the other comment.

And then there’ll be the inevitable “I have to work with that person for how long!?” And the fiefdoms will be set up, and the back stabbing will begin.
