I like to call it Attention Surplus Disorder. It's crazy to me how most people can just focus on something for 50 hours a week that they're not interested in at all, and this doesn't set off warning bells in their head.

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of antiwork neurotypucals, but it seems weird how many people actively support it.

I thoroughly enjoyed your in-depth analysis and learned a few things. I think we need to understand how to spot if something was written by AI or not, and this is very helpful for that.

I got married young too. My spouse didn't even get a ring for the proposal. Total cheapskate! So anyways, I said yes.

Once you're married and dealing with money together, cheapskate is a good thing. We had a minimalist inexpensive wedding.

The dismal science

The most suffering-free and eco-friendly ring is the one already made, so, you did the best thing!

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I think so too, thank you.

Yes, but a clear crystal is a clear crystal.

No, different materials have different refractive indices, even if they're both "clear crystals." Maybe the examples given are very close in refractive index, but they still differ, therefore split light differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

I'm not saying it's the entire difference, but it certainly comes into play. It could be that the more "explosive" light example is cut identically, but held slightly askew versus the others.

Point is, it's not just the cut that impacts the result.

...

That's literally my point.

I'm saying you can't tell the difference between two materials unless they are cut the same.

If they are cut differently to achieve the results you are seeing, you can't tell whether the difference is because of the cut, or because of the material.

Neurotypicals tend to lack curiosity and passion for interests.

When the interest at issue is human relationships and social norms, I think it flips the other way around.

Better to characterize things by what type of interests tend to appeal to which.

Initially inflated and overwhelming, completely

Your wife sounds absolutely lovely.

[comment105@lemm.ee]

You literally can not expect them to understand.

[comment105@lemm.ee]

I gotta be honest, some of you

My wife and I, very early in our relationship, bought cheap tungsten carbide rings to prank my parents by telling them we had eloped. When we actually did get married, we decided to use those same rings. I like her.

[uid_zero@infosec.pub]

That makes sense. It wasn't coming across in the earlier comments.

How many world wars were fought in the last century? The answer might surprise you!

I think for most people it's just a matter of tradeoffs. You don't have to be interested in the act of doing something in order to be interested in the consequence of doing that thing.

Someone who doesn't like driving may still drive, and concentrate on driving the entire time, to get to a destination where they want to end up. For someone who doesn't like to cook but wants to eat hot food, cooking is a means to that end.

Now, if you're saying that you don't think that tradeoff is worth it to you, maybe that's true of them if they stop to think about it, too. But I'm not sure that's what's going on for most people who continue to work jobs they don't like.
