#compartmentalize
[.. I have to compartmentalize. There's Batman, there's Brucie Wayne, and there's... me. The person in the middle. The one no one sees. The one no one can ever know. Jordan was never a threat to that balance. He was a distraction that existed outside of everything else."]

Same, friend, same. If they’re so concerned, they should take that anger out on the right people. Some of us need to decompress, compartmentalize and LIVE.
no this rules. I'm so tired of anything positive being found by people who have some pathological NEED to remind everyone what the political landscape is like, as if they don't already know

I am very out with my politics. But I am not typical, nor am I shunned really. People compartmentalize their relationships and mask to suit their environments.
The US is often seen as an extreme case where polarization erodes democracy bc partisanship now permeates all everyday sociability and affects. But this is now being contradicted by a whole number of studies. Besides the really interesting new work by @jonadejong.bsky.social, there is... (quick 🧵)
Do ordinary Republicans and Democrats really avoid each other in everyday life? In a new working paper with Delia Baldassarri, we present descriptive and experimental evidence to challenge the view that partisanship drives the formation of social relationships.

I think, therefore I compartmentalize.

Like the Trump voters may not all be racist but they sure seem to be *okay* with racism you can tell where the people who still voluntarily choose to generate value for Twitter draw the line in their politics, what they can compartmentalize
Meanwhile in “What would it take to make people leave X?” news, a neo-Nazi just won a $1 million article prize - $200,000 more than the MacArthur genius grant
So over on Twitter, they did a "$1 million article contest." This is the guy who won the million dollar prize: (1/2)

Yeah, and also maybe helps compartmentalize away what they're doing?

I have my own separate criticism of Spain for its lack of effort to support Ukraine.

But I can compartmentalize separate issues.

I would also like the UK to #RejoinEU.... and in this area, I welcome this news.

Don't immediately discount ideas that you once thought were important & useful. But do take the new information into account – trust, but verify with open eyes. It's rare that someone can compartmentalize their thinking completely.

사실 한국에서 회사생활만 해도 뭐 부장님이 룸싸롱 다녀 <- 이것도 애써 무시하고 compartmentalize 하기 위해서 인지자원이 정말 많이 들어간단 말이야? 근데 내가 회사생활을 정신파탄나지 않고 다니려면 ㅠㅠ 부장님과 적이 될 순 없잖아 ㅠㅠ? 잘 지내려고 할거고…
근데 원래 룸돌이인건 대충 알았는데 알고보니 미성년자 대상 성착취 연루됐다?? 그럼 나는 대체 어떤 기분이었을지 상상이 안가는거야?? 난 뭘 했을까? 만약 내가 뭔가 양심고발할만한 내용이라도 알고 있었다면 나는 양심고발 했을까?

My blood runs cold every time I see one of these updates. It's getting to be nearly impossible to sufficiently compartmentalize to be able to function on a daily basis.
It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Peroxisome dysfunction alters metabolism of photoreceptor outer segments in human retinal pigment epithelium
Purpose: Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles that compartmentalize metabolic reactions including lipid catabolism and cellular detoxification. Biallelic loss-of-function variants in genes responsible for peroxisome assembly and function cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs). Approximately three-quarters of PBDs are due to pathogenic variants in PEX1 or PEX6 and result in multisystem disease, including retinal degeneration and blindness. Despite retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) dysfunction and retinal degeneration occurring frequently in PBDs, precisely how impaired peroxisome activity disrupts retinal function remains to be fully explored. To address this, we differentiated PEX1 knockout (PEX1-/-), PEX6 knockout (PEX6-/-), and wildtype human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into RPE to study the consequences of peroxisome dysfunction in this disease-relevant cell type. Methods: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing was used to generate PEX1-/- and PEX6-/- in human iPSCs. The knockouts and isogenic wildtype iPSCs were differentiated into RPE (iRPE) and characterized by morphology, pigmentation, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), and expression of proteins associated with differentiated RPE using immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Immunoblot analysis of whole iRPE lysates was used to evaluate the proteolytic processing of peroxisome enzymes, a measure of the integrity of peroxisome matrix protein import. Immunofluorescence detection of peroxisome membrane proteins was used to determine the abundance of peroxisomes across iRPE lines. Targeted lipidomics by gas and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry were used to quantitatively compare the profiles of wildtype, PEX1-/-, and PEX6-/- iRPE. Accumulation of intracellular neutral lipid, and more specifically lipid droplets, in iRPE was measured using flow cytometry and perilipin-2 immunoblotting, respectively. Phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments (POS) by iRPE was evaluated using rhodopsin immunoblotting. Results: PEX1-/-, PEX6-/-, and wildtype iRPE all had comparable hexagonal morphology and integrity of tight junctions, developed pigment, and similarly expressed proteins characteristic of RPE. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated aberrant processing of ACOX1, MFP2, and ACAA1 in PEX1-/- and PEX6-/- iRPE, suggesting impaired peroxisome matrix protein import. Targeted lipid profiling, including total fatty acid (FA) lipid profile analysis, revealed that in comparison to wildtype, PEX1-/- and PEX6-/- iRPE had significantly reduced docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6{omega}3) (p

I don’t think “wow, that person is so rational and cool that they’re able to compartmentalize horrors I’d never wish on anyone and their fiction!”

You want to do it, do it on your own time.

Find people who aren’t heaps of filth to enjoy. There are lots.

Oh he knows how to compartmentalize to get what he wants! It doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel it tho hahahaa I’m so glad you caught that!

A lot of people have been fooled by abusers over the years because the abuser can compartmentalize how they treat people.

If someone is nice and above reproach when you're together and you're not that close, you can be broadsided too. It's a common story.

Oh god. You, err, might want to compartmentalize this one until you’re somewhere private.

My MIL may or may not be light MAGA or MAGA supporting (but not participating directly, no merch, no social media in favor of, no rallies), and it is a very difficult thing to compartmentalize for sake of "peace". Spouse is very sensitive to it (he is very anti-MAGA and anti-Trump).

Nailed it.

Compartmentalize. Build points of contact between small groups. Protect your node and trust others to do the same.

Passwords don't work past a couple dozen people at best. If your network is as accessible as Discord, it might as well just be Discord.
Like, you can have small groups that are safe. That can be useful for instance for a group that sets top level goals and speaks to the media. But if you want hundreds or thousands of people to be part of your effort, you will be infiltrated and you just need to operate on that assumption.

can't handle that today i'm just going to compartmentalize that for another day

You have the tools to stay ahead, but there is no avoiding COINTELPRO.

Start a new, vetted group and disseminate. Compartmentalize. Develop recognition between members. Build nodes.

Having a pool with an open door is not good security and was never going to be a longterm tool.

This is not new.

If you try to be authentically yourself with everyone, it's hard to accept how well others can compartmentalize. To know that they are, like many abusive narcissists, inside a bulletproof prison of their own self-pity & self-regard. They count on & cultivate our inability to see their other selves.

I’m still trying to work on black and white thinking after years. It’s hard for me but I’ve learned to process and compartmentalize because I have shit to do.

Sorry, I should save this for my therapist. Not joking.

Neil Gaiman, rapist, and Neil Gaiman, feminist and queer ally, coexisted in the same body for over three decades.

Abusers compartmentalize. People are easily disarmed by flattery. People don't like digging beneath the surface.

They had a good thing going.

Morning 🪄🧹 Witch!

Everyday is a good day!

I compartmentalize #ComboverCaligula³⁴ and the KKKlown show characters.

You have to separate this 🐂💩 from life.
Paying attention in case you have to duck!

Bright Blessings 💫🔮

Yeah, always different degrees of it esp on a main account but it's definitely nice not to compartmentalize things you like too much
