Tell me more about the worst things about the rationalists? The point about “you are experiencing a feeling as though you’re having an insight” (sorry don’t have your exact wording in front of me) is sort of giving me a light bulb moment re: their whole thing
so... the answer is at least kind of "yes, i can do that", but in attempting to answer your question i found myself writing several thousand words of explanation about who i think "rationalists" even describes anymore/ever, why i've encountered them and what my background is, etc, so if you'd like to write back clarifying your own knowledge of/level of interaction with internet rationalism that might help me cut out some of the thousands of words of historical context. regardless i'll think about it and try to figure out which takes i think i'm actually qualified to air in public/which will be meaningful to anyone less immersed in weird rat history inside baseball than i am
#if you want to stay anon and don't want me to post your additional clarifications that's totally fine#it would just help me to know whether or not i have to explain ai safety stuff/hpmor/EA/etc if it's relevant to something#box opener#i will include one of the caveats now which is that. i have a certain deep sympathy for the like#basic rhetorical-style impulse that i think initially drew a lot of people in#there's a refreshing contrast in being in internet spaces where people are talking like they think reasoning should be based on evidence#now one of my many complaints is i feel kind of betrayed by rationalists' failure to actually do empiricism well or in some cases at all.#but i unfortunately do enjoy being in contexts where it's being paid lip service at minimum. it feels homey

when someone comes in with an herbal remedy they've been treating their dog's cough with and start worrying about "over vaccinating" It's like, deep breath
#mistrust is annoying#i get that people are just increasingly concerned with and involved in their animal's care#and that the price/availability of vet services means at home treatments are sometimes the only option#but the constant questioning of our treatments based on internet research is like UGGGGGHHHHHH SHUT UPPPPPPPP#m2a#work stuff

What can be the obstacle of Bangladesh Starlink?
BTRC, the regulatory body of the telecommunication sector, is collecting opinions on a draft guideline prepared to finalize the policy of satellite-based internet services in Bangladesh. In recent times, there has been a lot of talk about Starlink in the media of Bangladesh. The youth community has also taken up the matter with great joy. Because internet users never like poor internet service.
Satellite-based Internet service Starlink has been trying to enter the Bangladesh market for three years. During that time they contacted the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) twice. When BIDA reported the matter to the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), BTRC was initially disinterested in Starlink. In 2023, Bangladesh Satellite Company Limited took BTRC's approval to test Starlink's technology. Some Starlink technology came to Bangladesh in July of that year for testing. The download speed of Starlink Internet in the test is 150 megabytes per second. Meanwhile, Starlink added the name of Bangladesh to the new coverage on its website. It was then stuck on surveillance and national security issues. In the meantime, in the turbulent times of this year, that matter was also suppressed. However, this month, BIDA has started negotiations again.

Responsive Design: A Must Have for Modern Websites
In today's digital era, a website is the face of your business, often serving as the first point of interaction with potential customers. With the rapid growth of mobile and tablet use, having a website that looks good only on a desktop is no longer sufficient. Enter responsive design—a critical component of website development that ensures your site performs well across all devices. For any business looking to succeed online, partnering with a website development company or a digital marketing agency to implement a responsive design is not just an option; it's a necessity. Here’s why responsive design is a musthave for modern websites.
1. Enhances User Experience Across Devices
A responsive website automatically adjusts its layout, images, and text to fit any screen size, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. This adaptability ensures that users have a seamless experience regardless of the device they are using. A positive user experience (UX) is crucial for retaining visitors and reducing bounce rates. When users can easily navigate your website, find information quickly, and enjoy a visually appealing layout, they are more likely to stay longer and engage with your content. By working with a digital marketing and advertising agency to create a responsive website, you cater to the needs of all users, improving satisfaction and encouraging repeat visits.
2. Improves Search Engine Rankings
Responsive design is not just about user experience; it also plays a significant role in search engine optimization (SEO). Search engines like Google prioritize websites that are mobilefriendly, meaning a responsive design can improve your website's rankings. When you invest in responsive website development, you are also investing in better visibility on search engines. This is especially important as mobile searches continue to outnumber desktop searches. By optimizing your website for all devices, you make it easier for search engines to crawl and index your content, leading to improved rankings and more organic traffic.
3. Reduces Maintenance Costs and Time
A responsive website eliminates the need for multiple versions of the same site, such as separate desktop and mobile versions. Managing a single, responsive site is far more costeffective and timeefficient than maintaining multiple versions. With a responsive design, you can update content, images, and other elements in one place, ensuring consistency across all devices. Partnering with a website development company that specializes in responsive design means fewer resources spent on maintenance, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your digital marketing strategy.
4. Boosts Conversion Rates
A welldesigned, responsive website can significantly boost conversion rates. When users have a consistent experience across all devices, they are more likely to trust your brand and complete desired actions, whether it’s filling out a contact form, signing up for a newsletter, or making a purchase. A digital marketing agency can help you create a responsive design that strategically places calls to action (CTAs) and key information where it’s most accessible, increasing the chances of conversion. By providing a frictionless experience, you reduce the barriers that often prevent users from taking the next step.
5. Supports Digital Marketing Efforts
Responsive design is integral to any digital marketing strategy. Whether you’re running payperclick (PPC) campaigns, social media advertising, or email marketing, your website is the hub where traffic is directed. A nonresponsive website can negatively impact the performance of these campaigns by causing high bounce rates and low engagement. A digital marketing and advertising agency understands the importance of having a responsive website to support these efforts, ensuring that users who land on your site have a positive experience, leading to higher engagement and better campaign performance.
6. Adapts to Future Trends and Technologies
The digital landscape is always evolving, with new devices, screen sizes, and user behaviors constantly emerging. A responsive design is inherently flexible and adaptable, allowing your website to remain relevant as new trends and technologies develop. By implementing responsive design, you futureproof your website, ensuring it stays compatible with the latest devices and standards. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge in an everchanging online environment.
7. Provides a Competitive Advantage
In a crowded digital marketplace, standing out from the competition is essential. A responsive website gives you a competitive edge by providing an optimal user experience, enhancing SEO, and supporting your digital marketing efforts. Many businesses still overlook the importance of responsive design, so by investing in it, you position your brand as modern, userfocused, and ahead of the curve. A digital marketing agency can help you leverage this advantage, making sure your website attracts and retains customers better than your competitors.
Conclusion: Make Responsive Design a Priority
Responsive design is not just a trend—it’s a necessity for modern websites. It enhances user experience, improves search engine rankings, reduces maintenance costs, boosts conversion rates, and supports digital marketing efforts. By collaborating with a website development company or a digital marketing and advertising agency, you can create a responsive website that meets the needs of today’s users and adapts to future trends.
Make responsive design a priority in your website development strategy and reap the benefits of a site that performs well on all devices, providing a seamless experience for every visitor.

I'm very curious about something and so I'm making a poll about it obvs lol
If you're making an official phone call, for example calling to make an appointment, enquiring after a flat, hiring a service etc. that type of call, do you begin the call by introducing yourself?
For example: Hi, my name is X and I'm calling to make an appointment.
I'm curious to see this because I lived in another country and had a brain fart and accidentally began a call by introducing myself, like I would in my home country, and the recipient sounded very amused and I knew it was weird and it really is because the service person will do absolutely nothing with this knowledge.
#sometimes (america) (voted no because it's more relevant to most of my calls)#specifically because from my experience some places need my name a little later for forms or the like#so if i don't start out with my name they won't have any pressure trying to remember my name#so for booking a doctor's appointment or managing internet services i won't lead#for stuff that's more inquiry or information gathering based i do lead with it since it leaves more of an impression#and if i'm calling somewhere to ask about stuff there's a pretty good chance i'll be working with them in the future#also with my apartment building i lead with my name and apartment number so they know they're dealing with a resident

The urge to create smth more elaborate/decorative from the original base design vs both the desire to keep it simple enough to draw repeatedly and the need to have it read clearly, all while keeping it distinct and recognizable 🙃
#aka I have a couple of ideas for comics involving canon ponies and I'm trying to nail down something a little more unique#but also recognizable to the source material; all while remaining easy to read; easy to draw; and being appealing#all for the sake of only two? three?? jokes so far LMAO#I still don't know if I can run the browser and krita at the same time without knocking out the internet lmao#idk why it does it but boy does it ever lately#it's. annoying. I want to be more productive#that and I've got a massive backlog of videos to tackle still#that are admittedly more for listening to than properly watching; and are usually perfect for smth to listen to while drawing#good news is that the most expensive the exact model of adapter I have on this computer is only around $30!#bad news is that I Do Not Have anywhere close to $30!! not to mention I'd have to pay the guy™ to install it for me#and idk what he'd ask for in the vein of a service fee... also I still want that different antenna that I can move instead of just#screwing into the back and hoping for the best; it still screws in mind you but the ports are attached to cords#that are attached to a base that holds the antennae; so that I might move it around a little#that's around $20; at least for the model I looked at. tho I'd also have to check to make sure the parts are compatible#luckily I could probably just ask the guy; and if I have enough on hand I could probably buy one from him since he sells stuff like that to#oh yeah. also on the shortlist is external storage. I need at least as much as my computer can actually hold for backup purposes: 2TB#and I want more later so that I can actually maybe have less shit on my computer and more in appropriate places lol#someday I want a newer better computer actually. tho ideally we'd have abandoned this rotted log of a house by then...#I have other plans and needs but these tags are getting too long as it is lol

Why you shouldn’t support the upcoming game Black Myth: Wukong
Simply put, the creators behind Black Myth: Wukong are raging misogynists.
Founders and creatives of the studio have:
Joked about former female employees hypothetically doing prostitution
Used suggestive/objectifying/derogatory imagery & phrasing in their hiring flyers (under the cut), e.g. “In addition to hookup buddies, we promise to provide more thoughtful services” , “fatties fuck off”, etc.
Written entire think pieces on how video games don’t need female players or developers, how women are biologically inclined towards “softer” modes of gaming than men (there’s also a bit of homophobia mixed in through language such as “fuck sissies”), how some things should just be made for men, etc. “Fuck sissies, fuck tragic love stories, fuck moon-lit peach blossoms and flute-playing scholars! You don't need the reverse motivation of female players, you don't need to take care of those worms who just want to date chicks. Some things are just for men, their depression, their anger, their pain...”
Made numerous sexually explicit (& honestly incel-like) comments including ones about a female character in Black Myth: Wukong, e.g. “once you get used to this [character design] you can jerk off to it”, etc.
Boasted about how they’re losing followers, who must be women
To no one’s surprise, when people criticise the studio online, they’re met with vitriol about how they’re hypersensitive feminists, too politically correct, etc.
Chinese women have been YELLING non-stop on social media about how bad it is so it’s pretty depressing to see that a lot of non-Chinese gamers, even after reading an IGN article covering the situation, are apathetic. I get that a lot of people are excited about the novelty of a soulslike game based on Chinese mythology, but do you really want to support a studio that actively contributes towards and benefits from misogynistic gaming culture?
Talking about separating the artist from their art is bullshit if you're financially supporting them. Boycott! Pirate!
Here are some sources if you want to see detailed translations, learn more about the situation as well as the misogynistic gaming culture at large China:

An open letter to @staff
I already submitted this to Support under "Feedback," but I'm sharing it here too as I don't expect it to get a response, and I feel like putting in out in public may be more effective than sending it off into the void.
The recent post on the Staff blog about changing tumblr to an algorithmic feed features a large amount of misinformation that I feel staff needs to address, openly and honestly, with information on where this data was sourced at the very least.
Claim 1: Algorithms help small creators.
This is false, as algorithms are designed to push content that gets engagement in order to get it more engagement, thereby assuring that the popular remain popular and the small remain small except in instances of extreme luck.
This can already be seen on the tumblr radar, which is a combination of staff picks (usually the same half-dozen fandoms or niche special interests like Lego photography) which already have a ton of engagement, or posts that are getting enough engagement to hit the radar organically. Tumblr has an algorithm that runs like every other socmed algorithm on the planet, and it will decimate the reach of small creators just like every other platform before it.
Claim 2: Only a small portion of users utilize the chronological feed.
You can find a poll by user @darkwood-sleddog here that at the time of writing this, sits at over 40 THOUSAND responses showing that over 96 percent of them use the chronological feed*. Claiming otherwise isn't just a misstatement, it's a lie. You are lying to your core userbase and expecting them to accept it as fact. It's not just unethical, it's insulting to people who have been supporting your platform for over a decade.
Claim 3: Tumblr is not easy to use.
This is also 100% false and you ABSOLUTELY know it. Tumblr is EXTREMELY easy to use, the issue is that the documentation, the explanations of features, and often even the stability of the service is subpar. All of this would be very easy for staff to fix, if they would invest in the creation of walkthroughs and clear explanations of how various site features work, as well as finally fixing the search function. Your inability to explain how your service works should not result in completely ignoring the needs and wants of your core long-term userbase. The fact that you're more willing to invest in the very systems that have made every other form of social media so horrifically toxic than in trying to make it easier for people to use the service AS IT WORKS NOW and fixing the parts that don't work as well speaks volumes toward what tumblr staff actually cares about.
You will not get a paycheck if your platform becomes defunct, and the thing that makes it special right now is that it is the ONLY large-scale socmed platform on THE ENTIRE INTERNET with a true chronological feed and no aggressive algorithmic content serving. The recent post from staff indicates that you are going to kill that, and are insisting that it's what we want. It is not. I'd hazard to guess that most of the dev team knows it isn't what we want, but I assume the money people don't care. The user base isn't relevant, just how much money they can bring in.
The CEO stated he wanted this to remain as sort of the last bastion of the Old Internet, and yet here we are, watching you declare you intend to burn it to the ground.
You can do so much better than this.
Response to the Update
Under the cut for readability, because everything said above still applies.
I already said this in a reblog on the post itself, but I'm adding it to this one for easy access: people read it that way because that's what you said.
Staff considers the main feed as it exists to be "outdated," to the point that you literally used that word to describe it, and the main goals expressed in this announcement is to figure out what makes "high-quality content" and serve that to users moving forward.
People read it that way because that is what you said.
*The final results of the poll, after 24 hours:
136,635 votes breaks down thusly:
An algorithm based feed where I get "the best of tumblr." @ 1.3% (roughly 1,776 votes)
Chronological feed that only features blogs I follow. @ 95.2% (roughly 130,077 votes)
This doesn't affect me personally. @ 3.5% (roughly 4,782 votes)
