“Radical centrism” (defined here as grocery shopping around the pol compass, either bc of a) “pragmatic” focus of efficacy over ideology or b) uncertainty about best ideology and thus a willingness to try anything to get to one’s goal) is a terrible name for what is clearly Radical Syncretic Politics (“RadSync”). Grocery shopping across the political spectrum is self-evidently not (necessarily) centrist. Syncretists don’t (all) get the bullet (can I say this on tumbler)
(Though obviously a Syncretist who uses policies from all across the compass to reinforce the status quo can exist, and describing that person as a syncretic centrist would make sense. But that would be as a subtype of a syncretist, NOT a “radical” centrist - point is, syncCents arent the only worldview that values pragmatism and anti-ideological sentiment)
Further; (I keep editing this bc I love this post), a True “radical centrist” would explicitly Reject syncretic politics! A radical “extremist” (pseudo-extremist? Exclusionary? Absolutist? Ideological?) anti-extremist would oppose any non-centrist politics. They would reject anything outside of the status quo, and they may even do so violently! See images below for the difference between a bog standard moderate (left) and a committed radical anti-extremist, or maybe “Neo-centrist” (right).
the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.
How passkeys are changing the face of authentication - Help Net Security
As passwordless identity becomes mainstream, the term “passkey” is quickly becoming a new buzzword in cybersecurity. But what exactly is a passkey and why do we need them?
A passkey is a digital credential that can only be used by the authorized user. This commonly requires unlocking a device with a biometric marker (such as facial or fingerprint scan) or a unique factor (e.g., a PIN).…
If they claim they can cure your condition that you have been told is incurable, run. If they claim they cured themselves, run. If they claim they have cured everything from cancer to lupus holistically, run. If they claim you have to buy only supplements from them, run. If they claim they that only thing that will cure is x but x costs tons of money, run. If they refuse to run tests or address your diagnosed conditions before insisting you do an expensive treatment not covered by insurence, run. If they offer a one size fits all treatment/cure, run.
I have been scammed by "holistic" and "naturalistic" people before as a chronically ill person. In fact it was an actual doctor who went to medical school who scammed me for years. So watch out. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.
I have been hearing the term “quiet quitting” over the last several weeks and pretty sure you all have been too. Quiet quitting is taking over TikTok, and the app is ablaze with the term. The term is becoming the new workplace buzzword, mostly among remote Gen Z and younger millennials, which does not mean that you are outright quitting your job but instead you are quitting the idea of going…
