They get a cut.

“it’s genuinely crazy…”

Yeah

At least hexbear is a relatively insular community, not a political content creator.

I swear these two’s real job is as a honeypot for adventurism.

MAGA Communism is a meme that Infrared used to demonstrate its position relative to the political spectrum. The concept is initially confusing due to the seeming contradiction between right-wing MAGA and left-wing Communism. The confusion is intentional

Expressing your ideas in the stupidest way possible so you can act smug when people “don’t get it”

What the fuck is wrong with redditors?

I agree with a few of his criticisms of Hakim’s video. He failed to establish why the eyewitness reports that side with him are more credible than those that disagree (calls them fabricated but didn’t seem to support that) and put too much emphasis on the Chai Ling interview without showing that she was a leader or massively influential in the protests. He claims that the will of the people was subverted but doesn’t justify that within the video.

That said, I think reacting to and critiquing the video isn’t worth much if you don’t at least attempt to tackle the death count. Just throwing out that some estimates go as high as 10k without judging them at all is worthless at best. If 10k people died then I think it’s pretty obviously a massacre.

Sorry, I was definitely overly aggressive.

A number of common critiques of Jungian typology and the MBTI are often voiced in no uncertain terms by people who have comparatively little knowledge about these fields.

Notably, the authors don’t give their own qualifications.

In terms of empirical evidence, types don’t exist. Human traits are distributed on a bell curve, not as two camel humps.

True.

People who take the MBTI multiple times often come out as different types (Low Test-Retest Reliability).

True.

MBTI descriptions contain vague and flattering statements that anyone would agree to (Forer Effect).

True.

wow.

However, as we will discuss below, the MBTI is not an end in itself. It is an attempt to quantify C.G. Jung’s cognitive theory empirically. And as most people who have grappled with Jung’s theory will readily attest, his concepts are by no means as straightforward as the Big Five’s ideas that someone who delivers his work on time is ‘conscientious’ and someone who talks a lot is an extrovert. Jung’s concepts of the cognitive functions are not only staggeringly complex, they also stand in a dialectical relationship to each other where they alternatively imply, negate, and complement each other.

In other words, the complexity that goes into the definition of Jung’s cognitive functions is well beyond what we are currently able to prove or disprove empirically. Since Jung’s cognitive theories were not laid out in a format suited to empirical analysis, the advocates of Jung’s ideas can always claim that the fault lies not with the concepts but with the process of translating and interpreting the concepts into a format that will suit empirical testing.

Saying that the theoretical basis of MBTI is beyond empirical analysis doesn’t help their case.

You’ll probably get just as much out of this test from the same site: https://www.idrlabs.com/pusheen/test.php

Why Use This Test?

1. Free. This test is provided to you free of charge and allows you to obtain your scores related to the characters from the Pusheen universe.

2. Statistical controls. Test scores are logged into an anonymized database. Statistical analysis of the test is conducted to ensure maximum accuracy and validity of the test scores.

3. Made by professionals. The present test has been made with the input of people who work professionally in psychology and individual differences research.

It’s made by professionals!

MBTI makes the fundamental assumption that each personality axis is bimodal, and pushes people to one side or the other. Actual research shows that people tend towards the center.

The whole test is pseudoscience made by non-psychologists and propped up by “research” from organisations that profit from the test.

They started as a piracy site and gained name recognition that way, then went “legit” and started handing out copyright claims like candy.

Yeah federation gets confusing. A user from one instance posts on another instance and you view it through a third instance.

I might be misreading your comment but the user is from .ca and the post is in .world.

Once as a teenager at an MtG event my phone died and I needed to call my parents so I asked a random guy if I could borrow his. Not only did he hand it over, but he told me I might need to step outside to get a better signal. Sometimes people are chill and trusting.

Are there any countries with a fucked-enough tax system that getting bumped up a tax bracket means you have less money?

"The Azov Brigade, known for its tenacious but ultimately unsuccessful defense of the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol early in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is regarded as a particularly effective fighting force.

Eventually, the generator and the discriminator begin to agree more as they settle into something called Nash equilibrium. This is arguably the central concept in game theory. It represents a kind of balance in a game—the point at which no players can better their personal outcomes by shifting strategies. In rock-paper-scissors, for example, players do best when they choose each of the three options exactly one-third of the time, and they will invariably do worse with any other tactic.

This last sentence is completely wrong, yeah?

heh

Everything I’m seeing is that he "could’ go there and they’re “ready” for him.
