The source is even weirder. It comes straight from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and it says Jewish Israelis have a low power distance, while Arab Israelis have a high power distance. This resource here only counts the value for Jewish Israelis, and excludes Arabs. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJEM-06-2020-0302

...maybe the Arabs scored higher than the Jews because the Jews think they're living in a land of freedom and equality, while the Arabs are actually experiencing the inequality in the country. It's easy to think everyone in your country is equal when the bombs are pointed at someone else.

I would also be curious to know how many Mizrahi Jews the study interviewed. If you only interview Ashkenazim, you'd get a very different picture than if you ask everyone.

You've got me confused for someone else. I'm the one saying not to diagnose a mental disorder. And I'd like to add that NPD isn't a mental illness, it's a mental disorder. The difference is you can't catch NPD like it's the flu. It's lifelong.

Not any change. It can't turn her into a pink bunny rabbit and it can't create a personality disorder. Bereavement has well understood effects, it doesn't cause neurodivergence.

Anyone who's past high school age is old enough to avoid using medical terminology flippantly, even with personal subjects

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 days ago

You should really look at the DSM 5 alternative model, because what you've described has very little in common with theoretical models of NPD

No, just a genius with an interest in ethical science

Personality disorders are triggered on adolescence and early adulthood by developmental factors. Not marriages. Not money. You need to be careful about how you use diagnostic labels. You're not a psychologist, so you can perpetuate stigma when you use pop psychology to diagnose. It's important to do your own research if you want to use a psychological term. You should look up the alternative dimensional model in the DSM 5, not just the old criteria copied from the DSM-IV.

This is obviously false. Personality disorders are caused by genetic factors and childhood trauma. You can't get one from a marriage unless something has gone very wrong with the age of consent.

“She’s pregnant with my grandson. But he may be blind, may not be able to walk, may not survive once he’s born,” Newkirk said.

You want to let a blind, crippled, orphaned fetus grow into a kid just so it can die after its brain is more developed?

 

Should I switch to using Arthur.Sulzberger@nytimes.com instead?

 

Bit more context:

 

I tried explaining my problems with tankies without calling them tankies. In fact, I used their own terminology to describe my disagreement with them. It, uh... well it doesn't make a lot of sense.

George Orwell fought in the Spanish civil war on the side of the Marxists. His army was betrayed by the Marxist-Leninists. After that experience, he wrote 1984, in which a totalitarian government uses "newspeak" to suppress dissent by suppressing the very ideas that people are capable of communicating. I don't think it's a coincidence that Marxist-Leninists describe their disagreements in terms that turn criticism of them into gibberish. I think it's exactly what Orwell was writing about based on his experiences.

 

Explanation: A lot of Internet People say that The Incredibles is objectivist (Ayn Rand's ideology) because the heroes fight against a revolutionary who wants to make everyone equal by giving people superpowers.

What they miss is that this "revolutionary" is a billionaire who made his fortune selling weapons to world governments under the table, and his only motivation for saying he'd sell his weapons is to make money and spite his enemy. There's no reason to think he would follow through, and selling powers doesn't mean everyone gets them. It means everyone with money gets them. Syndrome is proposing a world where rich people have super powers. That's just the plot of Vampire: The Masquerade.

Syndrome is co-opting leftist rhetoric to make himself look like a hero, while not actually understanding it, because he's not a leftist. He's a capitalist billionaire. And the Internet People who think this movie is bad because it praises hypercapitalist ideology... fell for the capitalist's rhetoric.

EDIT: I'm picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn't know that, it's clear the only women you've ever been with were 2D.

PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don't like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I'm only meaning to make fun of allos.
