Apparently it got bought by Proton, but Standard Notes has been my brain dump forum for years now. I love it

Thank you. I disabled the google app (which I tbh low key don't know what it even does)

So is Gemini on there as an app? It isn't listed as such on my phone

Of course we are all individually somewhere on a continuum of capacity. But I think that the overall system in which we live accounts for much of what you describe (see: messaging in our entertainment, commercials, social media, how they shape people). And also, perhaps that a kind environment like these people had is not a sufficient condition for pro social behavior, if it doesn't teach them perspective building for instance; or exposure to, and legitimization of, alternate lifestyles and realities.

idk. All this coexists with the inherent flaws of the human organism. Selfishness is one of our qualities. It's biologically built it in. Ideally our environment nurtures the executive functions to override and temper it. But, again, a capacity being there is not a sufficient condition for it to emerge

I think the capacity is there to function at a higher, pro-social level; but it is severely compromised by societal systems that at some point were shaped by scarcity and real world dangers but have just become obsolete and out of control. We're living a traumatic legacy that we can't shake and just keep dumping on successive generations

Hm. Cop uniforms. I ~~accurately appraise~~ judge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others

Yup. I find written fluff faster to run through than video fluff

Does she have any recommendations for trainings to become a trainer of these skills?

Yeah I've not personally used anything but steel and cast iron for years now

There was a recent post somewhere bringing attention to how ceramic pans are often not truly ceramic but an amalgamation that includes more questionable materials and/or being only a thin layer covering lower quality metal that could leach. That would make me wary of bottles with ceramic linings

That part could be attributed to reissues, per the bio in OP's comment

I think it's perfectly reasonable to suggest that people not eat the 47th taco. That's just too many tacos
