- quantum_magpieI would be very cautious advising SSRIs for anyone, especially developing children, considering my own experience (on sertralin), which was complete disappearance of a libido, and massive weight gain, +40kg (70 -> 110) in ~10 months. 5 years later I still have not undone the damage from it.
- I consider myself a hobby photographer, and I love having a phone camera. I can then have the tele glass on for entire hike/session, and do landscapes on the phone. Currently, 2 weeks in, I didn't even touch the landscape glass in it's case.
- Finlandia and Absolut
- >They should. If your research is publicly funded you should make it as available to be public as possible. Academics should be able to communicate, and I very much doubt they are unable to acquire the skills
So in addition to being:
-professional researchers
-professional teachers
-professional project managers
-professional budget specialists
-professional scientific writers
-a failed idea away from losing it all
They should also become:
-professional PR managers
-professional popular writers
While still being paid (poorly) for a single job of all of these.
- >2. Do people with aphantasia dream in images?
Yes, I do. As it goes, I think it is some neurological thing, a receptor that is misfiring, or something. I've been testing it for the past decade and I only found three conditions where I can see images:
1. Dreams
2. Transition between awake and asleep during classical music concerts (This one is very interesting, cause one of my most vivid experiences was actually seeing different seasons during a Four Seasons (by Mozart I think?) piano concert, based purely on the music, without knowing which one was actually playing).
3. Psychedelics. Or, at least, mushrooms. Haven't tried others.
It seems when some neurological inhibitor is turned off, the images come back, but I don't know if there was any research on that, or whether it is even true.
- My number in EU (LTU) is not prepaid, but likely on some bullshit outdated prefix blacklist, so US companies (microsoft and blizzard so far) do not allow to use it for authenticators and such for being a prepaid number. MS simply refused to send the SMS, blizzard explicitly mentioned the prepaid reason.
- I am in academia and I see the same thing among my colleagues. In physics and chemistry. I also see a lot of data manipulation, lies in methodology, omission of any flaws in the studies, just to get published. Because that is the only measure of your value ti the institution.
Fuck, even the head of the institution publicly announced that only quantity matters, not quality. Because the government funding for research also depends only on quantity.
- Aren't ethanol, animal feed, and human food corn all separate, non-interchangeable species? Usually ethanol stuff and animal feed stock are completely inedible, at least in my EU country.
- You disagree with the OP about canned tomatoes, and then in your recipe you use.. canned tomatoes?
- Because 'winging it' like this would be akin to doing your development on prod environment. And if by a complete accident one of these would make money for them (through gov bribery, carbon credit equivalent sales, vc investments, etc.), even if the initial one wouldn't poison everyone, a 100 more would immediately spring up and would poison everyone as long as they can make a cool billion before going to jail. That's why there has to be a sensible, globally agreed upon framework for global-scale geoengineering.
And "the economy" is fighting to keep the climate change going to the last breath, because taking any tool from the chest (and we have an overflowing chest right now!) that is effective and working would 'hurt the economy'.
- I propose 'Uncertain Time Off'!
- After years of burnout and depression, I've just finished 6 months sabbatical and in retrospect, I think mental improvement started at ~4 months in. After 6 months I felt like I went back 5 years.
- I can't say anything about training it, but beside the usual sleepiness, at >1000 ppm I get a feeling of swelling eyeballs and tingling teeth/dentures. I've been this way as long as I remember.
- In this case it's the US gov that's ruining the internet.
- Social security is 20% of your salary in Lithuania. 50€ if you're unemployed. Although it does cover healthcare, unemployment and part of retirement pensions. Probably something more, but I don't know further details.
- Oh, fuck off. I am one of those people, I have been for the last 15 years. And I believe I have the right to go peacefully when I decide to. That others force me to suffer because they might be sad is incredibly selfish of them. So take your condescending shit somewhere where you have any clue in what you're talking about.
- Because if you would pay 200$ for the concert, 50$ would go to the band, the actual value creators at the concert. If you then pay 900$ to the scalpers, 50$ goes to the band, the value creators, and 700$ to the cunts, the exploiters. They created absolutely zero, but they sucked the majority of the money. They destroy value.
- Because the market isn't free. It is controlled by those with most money, political prowess, and fastest bots.
And in this imaginary 'free market', the ones with most money buy the political power and the fastest bots.
