  • What you’re complaining about seems to just be what every generation has done on their first job. This isn’t a genz thing. This is how most people act on their first job until they learn how schedules work not just for them but for everyone to sync up. Their first time stepping out side of their school or family home.

    Cuz that’s also part of your job as a boss who trains staff to succeed: you have to also interact with these interns and teach them this. You do have to answer these stupid questions. Someone did it for you on your first job, and if you think they didnt: think again. Every generation has the entitled phase of when they first step out of the house and face the world who don’t kiss their asses like their parents did.

    I just don’t get this generational ageism fight. It’s a stupid argument that gets us no where. It’s just about patting the self on the back at someone else’s expense.

    No generation escaped going through this asshole phase. Personally if the new generation does come up with a better way to set schedules, there’s nothing wrong with room to improve. We can all benefit from improvement. Lots of places run on outdated, exclusive rules that can definitely afford improvement.

    That’s not genz thing. That’s the hot potato method of where you drop the potato on the ground and don’t play the games the sociopath wants to play.

    This is a more widely used strategy now that mental therapy is more openly discussed. And the best way to win the game with a narcissist/sociopath is to not play their game. in the older days this was done in form of cutting contact. Don’t take their calls. Leave. Don’t interact.

    Deadpan stare is a form of this as visual blocking.

    Before the 80s so many people thought ‘I can change him!’ And after the 80s there were so many books about living loving a narcissist and how you can’t change him.

    Now we just have the deadpan stare. And so many hack comedians from yesterday liken it to ‘cancel culture’ or not having a sense of humour cuz they can’t deal with being irrelevant because of their unchecked hatred landing flat

    What are the ‘detectors’ that were used?

    (Looking at the image up there they have bars placed on the facing side of the slits there, is that the detector they were referring to when they said ‘monitoring’ it in this case?)


  • SmoogstoAsk LemmyCan you really seperate the art from the artist?

    Well I could say yeah, That is more relatable than “let’s just all celebrate ditty despite what he did outside of being an artist”

    Yea we are multifaceted but there are some distinctions that really are not so much a grey area of being on the same complicated human level as everyone else. Are we really boiled down to all capable of being a murderer without also indicating we all have freedom of choice? For some that’s not even entering their mind. So that is understandable to not be relatable and I respect someone’s decision who decides this for themselves . It really is a matter of taste and to each their own. They owe none of these artists anything. No one does. So I think people who are still chewing over this need to accept that.

    Rowling, hitler and ditty made some choices. And there is a vast world of artists who made better choices that can take up more than our attention, energy or time we will ever have in one lifetime to celebrate it. And given how many are ignored throughout time over merely being a gender or race in an era that was unkind to them, why dont they deserve this kind of attention to the point of people arguing?

    Time to accept it and move on. Plenty of great artists out there to celebrate. No need to dig through pig shit for a sparkle of gold.

    Ok so technically there are 2 to 3 ways it’s interacting to dissolve here?

    1 - the slits 2 - the surface at the far end on which the particles land 3 - whatever method is being used to read it on the other side of the slits?

    Just clarifying as the experiment has more than one interaction so when you said interaction I need to clarify which interaction.

    This is why I keep sayin stop just listening to the loudest person in the room. You’re often surrounded by people who are quietly making life awesome around you living an awesome life. Do they also owe you by being loud about it? No. They did enough for you. Respect them or Leave them alone in their awesomeness.

    Only assholes blindly follow the loudest person and defend to remain ignorant of the real world around them.




  • Ok then: why does one have to be a loud asshole to be an artist?

    If it’s about Separating the artist from the art:

    There are plenty of non asshole artists. Celebrate them.

    Now take that concept and apply this to the rest of your life.

    Stop overlooking the good that decent people are doing around you. They deserve your energy. Not just the loudest, most toxic attention grabbing assholes.

    Only assholes blindly support assholes. So you can also stop being an asshole who only supports assholes at any time. Now even. Now is a good time.

    It’s just so gross that class war isn’t enough. It has to be that too. Why the fuck does it have to be this wrong with being a billionaire that this needs to become a thing. Like holy fuck just collect cars or planets or something. Feed the poor. Invest in medical or science studies.

    Being an unjailed pedophile shouldn’t be the end game. What the fuck is wrong with these people’s aims in life.
