Aren't mall/parks/arcade used to be cheap and comfortable socialising places? They are in my country and as per "Strange Things" were in USA. Malls are dying in USA because people decided they prefer to keep everything online.

They still are. Some people are just trapped online like they say- socializing still exists.

There's a name and a logo. "Hubris" feels slightly beggared. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metamorphosis_of_Prime_I...

This looks like a startup company. Why shouldn't it have a name and logo?
Extropy_ commented on Soldiers in combat can kill without moral injury   bps.org.uk/research-diges... · Posted by u/domofutu

The conclusion sounds reasonable and may well be correct. But I’d still be a bit worried about selection effects. The kind of person who signs up for a tour of duty to Afghanistan is probably a bit different than someone who signs up for a UN peacekeeping mission.

So an alternative conclusion / title could be: “Moral injury more common among those with high moral standards”.

Extropy_ · 5 months ago
A better title would be "Likelihood of moral injury differs among different combat contexts," though that doesn't serve as quite a catchy title as the original.

The problem with "moral injury more common among those with high moral standards" is that "moral standards" is not what is being observed, rather, the study specifically finds "diverging effects of KIC on veterans from combat-oriented and peacekeeping missions-" making no judgement about personal "moral standards."

Your "high moral standards" bit seems to be an assumption about the difference between peacekeeping forces and combat-oriented forces (which sometimes even overlap) rather than something to do with the actual research article at hand.

Pretty crazy how this case gets the full support of thr DOJ, along with actions against Harvard, Colombia ect. I dont mind Google being broken up, but how am i supposed to respect the law when the same DOJ lets out ponzi schemers and bond villians because they donated 500k to a Trump friendly super pac.

If im Google or anoother tech company im going to be Divesting from the United States as much as possible.

Who are these people that are let out (of jail? prison?) because they donated to a super PAC? Not arguing, just curious

It would fit the pattern of the current US administration / GOP where any given thought, opinion, lifestyle that isn't their own is bad...

Is that not the same for the Democrats?

Do you genuinely wish wanton death on vast swaths of the population for political purposes?
