[P] I've noticed this one myself. I've had the allistopathic majority come down on me for being generous, giving a damn, or even just the enjoyment of optimising.

I also know this is far less applicable to highly moral brains (autism/ADHD/similar) due to the "You... DON'T want to huet me? You're NOT a douchebag?? How can this be??? Hooray!" response. A response that's fairly Universal, there. It's funny how inverted this is.
These #evangelicals are #voting their #values — by backing #VicePresident #kamalaharris for #President
“I am tired of watching #meanness, #bigotry and recreational #cruelty be the worldly #witness of our #faith,” Scott said on the call. “I want #transformation, and transformation is #riskybusiness.”
Donald Trump has received strong support from white evangelical Protestants in his presidential bids. About 8 in 10 white evangelical voters supported him in 2020, according to AP VoteCast. But a small, diverse coalition of evangelicals is looking to pull their fellow believers away from Trump’s fold and into Kamala Harris’ corner. Grassroots groups like Evangelicals for Harris are running ads and targeting voters in swing states while offering an alternate vision of their faith. Despite some policy differences with the vice president, they argue she is the better choice in terms of character and values.
A quotation from Joubert, Joseph:
«
We are afraid of having and showing a small mind, and we are not afraid of having and showing a small heart.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning is a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
- as an unexpected visitor...
Welcome and entertain them all.
Treat each guest honorably.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
- meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
- because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
~ Rumi
At the rural school district I last worked at, we had 1500 students, of whom 1,000 were free lunch and 500 were not. The cost of personnel (an entire department!), computers, and software for vetting students to make sure those 500 didn't get free lunch cost more than the cost of simply feeding them, already.
The GOP jihad about preventing those 500 from getting free lunch is not about taxes or expense, it's about being mean to children. #gop #antichild #school #lunch #meanness
I'm an experimental psychopathologist. I specialize in measuring the body's changes during psychological states (especially the startle blink and #postauricular reflexes for defensive and positive emotional processing, respectively) and in the measurement of traits using self-report (#meanness in #psychopathy) and behavioral (#risktaking) methods.
I'm also the director of clinical training for #UNLV's psychology department, helping students to meet their doctoral training goals.
