Any parent could tell you that children of this age are really big on the importance of promises, and science largely concurs; a promise has been shown to enhance interdependent cooperation in this age group. Younger children were slightly more likely to succeed. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/a-peers-promise-can-help-kids-pass-the-marshmallow-test/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/a-peers-promise-can-help-kids-pass-the-marshmallow-test/</a>

Koen de Jonge - SynQ<a href="https://toot.cat/@skye" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@skye</a> “You can’t be a manager in a decently-sized company to make it easier for your night owl underlings.”I refuse to accept this. I don’t know what you deem ‘decently-sized’, but for the last 20-some years (since we adjusted our hiring contracts back in 2005 after I stopped working as an employee and switched to employer full time) we have tried to do just that: make it easier for our team (our people) to work when they perform best and that suits them and their life to the fullest.But it is not easy. Customers and suppliers just do not (want to) understand. And if the moment you work is spreaded across the clock is combined with different communication styles and registration of what has been done is also hard, the cost of getting things completed is sometimes very high. In the end working like this costs a lot of effort of everybody and every time the team changes you have to go through a cycle of ‘redefinition’ of what is considered reasonable and what is acceptable. I guess that is why many people just ‘accept’ what is deemed ‘normal’ and adjust, at the cost of those who can’t. I will never! <a href="https://procolix.social/tags/promise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#promise</a> <a href="https://procolix.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#diversity</a> <a href="https://procolix.social/tags/realism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#realism</a> <a href="https://procolix.social/tags/endurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endurance</a>

Chuck DarwinYou may not think about <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tim</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dunn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dunn</a>. Indeed, unless you’re a close observer of Texas politics, it’s likely you haven’t heard of him. But Dunn thinks a lot about you.For two decades he has been quietly, methodically, and patiently building a political machine that has pushed Texas forcefully to the right, sending more and more members of the centrist wing of the Republican Party into exile. A 68-year-old <a href="https://c.im/tags/oil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oil</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/billionaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#billionaire</a>, Dunn seeks to transform Texas into something resembling a <a href="https://c.im/tags/theocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theocracy</a>. 👉If you ever wonder why state laws and policies are more radical than most Texans would prefer, the answer has a lot to do with Dunn and his <a href="https://c.im/tags/checkbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#checkbook</a>. If you question why Texas’s elected officials no longer represent the majority of Texans’ views, the reason can be traced to the tactics employed by Dunn and the many organizations and politicians he funds and influences. He has built his own caucus within the Legislature that is financially beholden to him. And despite his Sunday school pleas for comity, Dunn has deepened Texas’s political divisions: there are the Democrats and what remains of the mainstream conservative Republican Party. And then there are Dunn and his allies. For Dunn, politics, work, and religion all run together. “I have very deliberately unsegmented my life,” he said in 2022 on a podcast hosted by Ken Harrison, the chair of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Promise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Promise</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Keepers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Keepers</a>, a national evangelical group for men. “I don’t have one approach in business and another approach in ministry and another approach in church . . . I work for God, and God has given me a bunch of jobs to do.” Dunn directs that work from the center of a hive of his own creation, surrounded by politicians and pastors, fellow oil billionaires, and political consultants, all of whom are carrying out his vision. He still has a bee on a string—except these days, that bee is the state of Texas. <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/</a>
