One of the tests to determine personality in our book was so incredibly
useful and interesting, I just had to share it.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialIt’s ridiculously funny how much the Right is convinced that there’s a personality cult around Bill Fucking Clinton.
There wasn’t a personality cult around Bill Fucking Clinton in 1993. There sure as hell isn’t one NOW. Most living Democrats are probably not old enough to have ever voted for him. Millennials definitively didn’t.
I would bet money that Clinton was technically prosecutable. @…

@cdarwin@c.imThe atmosphere of fear surrounding Trump’s cult of personality has kept Republicans from criticizing him
even when they think he’s wrong.
But consider the list of issues on which notable Republican officeholders and influencers are now breaking with Trump,
or at the very least fighting amongst themselves in ways that weaken his movement:
After months of resisting the release of the Epstein files, Trump faced a revolt from his own party in Congress,

@annsev@troet.cafeThe malice and hatred that Darth #Trump pours out over the murdered #RobReiner and his wife undoubtedly reveal him to be an immoral, unempathetic psychopath/sociopath.
His remarks also raise questions about his mental state.
Poor US-America.

@davidaugust@mastodon.online
@castarco@hachyderm.ioI have the distinct impression that we could use most American "sci-fi" TV series (which seem to have a kink for post-apocalyptical scenographies) as a diagnostic tool for the autism spectrum.
For a moment, let's leave aside the tons of right-wing propaganda "hidden" in plain sight, and their excessive reliance on boring & worn out tropes (religious & cultish bullshit, irrational lack of communication & excess of anti-social behaviour, all vs all, ultra-low-iq characters*, psychotic & irrationally treacherous characters*, ultra-inconsistent character development used to justify "unexpected" plot twists, rampant anti-intellectualism...).
What could be used as a diagnosis tool is the incredible amount of strong inconsistencies that we can find in them**. It throws me out of the story every single time; and I suspect that it takes a certain kind of "uncommon personality" to feel that way about it, because otherwise these series wouldn't be so popular without real widespread criticism beyond cliches like "too slow", "it loses steam towards the end of the season", etc.
Many of those plots start in a gold mine of potentially powerful ideas... yet they consistently provide us with dirt & clay instead, while side-lining the "good stuff" as if it was too complicated for the populace.
Do you feel strongly about it? Do you feel like you can't verbalize it without being criticised as "too negative", or "too picky", or an "unbearable snob"? Do you wonder why it seems like nobody around shares your discomfort with these stories?
* : I feel this is a bit like the chicken & egg problem. Has the media conditioned part of American society to behave like dumb psychopaths as if it was something "natural", or is the media reflecting what was already there? Also, could we use other societies as models for these stories... just for a change? Please?
** : Just a tiny example: a "brilliant" engineer who builds a bridge out of fence parts and who doesn't bother to perform the most basic tests before trying it in a real setting and suffer the consequences: the bridge failing and her falling into the void. Bonus points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsIn the age of "#AI" assisted programming and "vibe coding", I don't feel like calling myself a programmer anymore. In fact, I think that "an artist" is more appropriate.
All the code I write is mine entirely. It might be buggy, it might be inconsistent, but it reflects my personality. I've put my metaphorical soul into it. It's a work of art.
If people want to call themselves "software developers", and want their work described as a glorified copy-paste, so be it. I'm a software artist now.
EDIT: "craftsperson" is also a nice term, per the comments.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Happy National Homemade Bread Day for all those with enough dough to celebrate. There's no data on how many of us make their own bread at home, but there are 1,321 bakery product manufacturing establishments and more than 1,406 retail bakeries in Canada. Canada annually ranks in the top 10 worldwide in wheat production, 6th or 7th, depending on the year, but we don't eat a lot of bread. #StatsCan says we consume approximately 30 kg per person yearly, which doesn't put us in the top 30 internationally - Turkey's citizens eat 6 times as much as us. We spend about 10% of our grocery bill on baked goods, and that has increased almost 30% over the past 5 years. Canada exports $5.2B in baked goods annually with $5B of that going to the U.S. market.
#CanadaIsAwesome #Sandwich
My favourite type of bread: Please boost for scientific significance.
