Super Mario 64 on my switch. Reminds me of great childhood memories.

So formidable… Earlier detection of a severely outdated aircraft that’s being phased out…

Elephants are incredible animals. They have complex communication and even communicate through seismic vibrations through the ground via their feet, and they can even recognize the elephant sending the seismic message. Additionally, they have cultural practices, including funeral rituals.

For citations for these claims and more information, here is a blog post of mine (I have ads turned off and don’t benefit from my blog in any way).

Thanks!

I bit for a minute there, until I realized that video is 3 hours and 45 minutes long… I don’t care that much…

“My subjective opinion is 100% objective.”

I don’t disagree with your take tho.

What an utterly stupid statement… She’s refusing to contribute to committing genocide, but that’s not enough for you. You think she should kill herself too…

If everyone refused to contribute to the genocide, then there wouldn’t be one either. There’s no reason young people resisting conscription should be making futile self-sacrifices. She’s already sacrificing her freedom in refusing to participate in a genocide, and spreading awareness and dissidence.

I didn’t downvote, but I hate videos being posted in the science community. Should be articles. This post belongs on a video community.

I’m completely disinterested in all things cosplay, but I’ve enjoyed watching his evolution and enthusiasm.

The far-right movement has been spreading around the world… It’s perhaps most on display in the US right now, but it is a global threat.

I was just thinking I want a list of russia’s senior officers with the dead scratched out for visual representation. Their losses are insane…

I was just thinking about the Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards given to US troops, and that if there was one for russia, I feel like half the deck would be dead officers by now.

That is absolutely ridiculous… Our brains don’t even finish developing until our mid 20s (some research suggests it can take an additional few years for those with ADHD).

My school performance (with ADHD) was so much different in middle and high school than thru undergrad and now graduate school.

It’s totally asinine to put that kind of pressure on kids, especially when standardized tests don’t even accurately evaluate learned material.

You can test positive for THC even if using the not full-spectrum CBD. I was frustrated by this and just got a medical card because I was tripping at-home drug tests (the dollar tree THC kit is actually pretty reliable btw).

But now that I’m looking for a new job and will likely be tested frequently while working on my clinical mental health master’s, I have to give up a significant quality of life in order to work in this industry at this time.

My rec/med state has no protection for “safety sensitive positions,” which range from truck drivers to medical doctors. Until it’s federally rescheduled, people like me have to choose career and suffering or quality of life.

I’ve had many providers offer me narcotics, but I have no interest in them. I’ve tried them and they feel too good… I’ve seen them destroy the lives of functioning, healthy people, both professionally and in my personal life. Non-narcotics don’t make any difference, and neither do NSAIDs.

The only effective and safe way I have found to manage my pain is with weed. I would never use it on the job, and while people in my industry joke about drinking nightly for self-care, I can get fucked for wanting to run my volcano. Total bullshit…

Awesome, just added it! Thanks!

Done. Thanks for the suggestion.

It basically is…

A good practice is to check who funded the given study. Look under acknowledgements.

In this case, it was Zespri International Ltd. “the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit”

The purported benefits claims are from self-assessment phone surveys…

Definitively no suspicion of bias in this research…

I voted for Biden and will in the next cycle, but this dark Brandon meme stuff will never cease to make me physically cringe…

It’s some trumpian demigod worship level cringe…

I agree with you completely. Any time knowledge like this is destroyed, it illicits the same feeling for me as thinking about the destruction of the Library of Alexandria.

Fuck russia, but also fuck destroying knowledge in the name of war…

This is the brain drain in effect. Scientists and intellectuals fled russia when the war with Ukraine began and the sanctions were incoming.
