IRB training for grad research. It’s just so long and tedious. Also why the hell would I need to know the names of specific cases and not just the regulations/reasons?
“What journal article spurred on the 1974 act?”
Idk, but I highly doubt the name of a random article will be at all relevant to me conducting ethical research

Reasons to not worry about death specifically because you worry about death:
- Every moment you spend worrying about death is a moment you aren’t spending truly alive. If you’re worried about running out of time, then why would you want to keep wasting time worrying?
- Stress—like that from constant worry—quite literally kills you both physically and psychologically. The more stressed you are the more wear and tear both your body and brain experience. So not only is worry wasting your life, it is also shortening it; in other words, worrying about death is actually bringing you closer to it.

Woah hey now, there are definitely anarchists who participate in / cooperate with the DSA. Plus “Food Not Bombs” is an anarchist collective so we definitely do our fair share of praxis

Ah category theory. You know i honestly think the only reason it’s so difficult to learn is not the idea but the jargon/notation-conventions

Hey wait Cyrillic is a script; does being able to write in the script mean you can speak it? Because movie makers who want fancy looking titles certainly don’t know what the symbols actually sound like.

Are there any animals whose sexual reproduction relies on consuming the mate?
Like spiders and mantis will eat their mates but its not required for insemination. The closest i can thing of is angler fish getting like absorbed into the body of the female but thats through skin contact not being swallowed.
- Comment on A lack of sex held back life's diversity for millions of years, fossil study finds 1 month ago:
Well the diversity of the Cambrian explosion makes more sense now. Life on earth discovered sex and just had a few million year long planet-wide orgy lol
On a serious note, what if that’s actually kind of what happened? Like what if species specific sexual reproduction wasn’t the norm when life was starting out? If animals were basically just accepting whatever DNA was given them—regardless of whether it was from their species or not—sure lots of the offspring wouldn’t be viable, but ample food and lacking predators means you can try again. This kind of breeding would facilitate some incredible genetic diversity which is exactly what we see in the Cambrian diversification.
We have no idea why so many of them looked the way they do, but what if thats because they inherited lots of traits they didn’t need?

The Stress Energy Tensor is what you’re looking for. It is directly related to curvature, but beware, the explanations of both curvature and the stress-energy tensor are going to be difficult to parse if you aren’t familiar with tensors and their notation yet

People like/dislike different things. A life that may seem decent to you could be hell for someone else.
If you can justify euthanasia for those with pain you understand like chronic illness, then you should justify euthanasia even for those with pain you don’t understand like being in perfect health but not wanting to be alive anymore.
I think there should be buffers in place like a waiting period and psychological evaluations to prevent rash actions by people who are simply bipolar or having an incredibly bad day etc.; however, the ultimate decision of whether one’s life is not worth living is a decision that can only rightfully be decided by that individual.

Hey I’m sure plenty of us do, we just don’t wear the clothes to show it. If I wear a crop top women think I’m gay and that’s unfortunately counterproductive

Every day I learn about some new aspect of some kink which I’ve never thought of before and then also learn from the comments that somehow there are at least two other people on Lemmy with the same kink lol

I’m American and yeah definitely the “it spawned in my head.”
Also the same happens for other languages too, though I’m not around them enough to attach meaning to it. But I’ll dream different languages or hear Russian and French in my head sometimes and have no idea what it means.
What’s crazy is that everytime I’ve remembered and been able to type them out, they are legitimate phrases not just nonsense. I guess my mind just picks up phrases it hears and doesn’t attach the meaning to them fsr just repeats them.

Also isn’t an infinite dimensional sphere practically hollow?
(If you were to integrate the sphere to calculate volume like you do for lower dimensional ones, you would sum the volume of shells—which is just their surface area times a thickness—making it up. With infinite dimensions, each shell becomes infinitely larger than the preceding shell no matter how fine you make the slices. This means the largest shell contains basically all the volume.)

I did it myself on a relative’s very old laptop a few years ago. I think it was specifically the 32bit Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) upgrade for Windows 95 (maybe 98?)
I just searched it up and was able to find an iso with only 129MB which is still impressive. But that’s a clean install, if I get more time to look into this later, (or if I can find the floppy disks themselves) I’ll try to find the original and send it to you if you want
Also you’re right, the fact it got images is pretty insane. Then again the only real “graphics” would be default icons, and possibly the green landscape but I wanna say that it didn’t even have that background image when I finished the upgrade; I think it was just a solid color. (The real crazy thing I remember was that the laptop had a color capable screen but had a purely black and white OS on it originally lol)
I think much of the kernel carried over. Also I can’t recall if I updated it to 98 before xp or not. That might’ve cut down on the needed install space.
Anyway you’ve gotten me curious, I kinda want to find that laptop now. Maybe I’ll use it to make authentic “Analog nowhere” style art with paint lol

Even using just 8bit color depth you’d only be able to store a single 424x424 pixel image (uncompressed) on a “high density” 1.4MB floppy.
That’s absolutely garbage, but makes it all the more impressive that an upgrade from windows 95 to the first version of windows XP only took two floppy disks.
- Comment on A game changer is in the works 🚨 3 months ago:
Having seen many things on the internet I wish I hadn’t, I think there are actually 12 holes. Roughly working top down:
- 2x: gore
- 2x: slightly more socially acceptable gore (especially on non-humans)
- 2x: that’s just weird but not gore I guess
- 1x: mainstream porn
- 2x: I don’t think these work like fetishists think they work
- 1x: this definitely doesn’t work the way fetishists think it works
- 1x: probably uncomfortable, also why?
- (1x: not guaranteed to exist on everyone but the most “vanilla” of all the holes)
- 1x: ouch but some people are into that ig

The fact art like this exists just makes me all the more certain that if we find any sort of intelligence in the universe, biological or not, someone is going to try fucking them. It will likely be one of the first things someone does.
“Sir we sent in the battle AI’s to dominate humanity before our colonization team arrives.”
“Good how many have died?”
“Uh none. Aparrently the humans find the slight curvature of the bots’ torsos arousing, so many of them submitted to the bots immediately and just started calling them ‘mommy doms’”
“What?!”

I didn’t mean that in the “lowkey my dick is huge” way lol. I’m not even that big which is the point because I’m not even in the “size-queen” range and there are still times where it’s annoying. I’d imagine those annoyances get worse as size increases, ego big dicks are overrated.
(PS: Regardless of size, women tend to like men/women/enbies that are good with their hands.)

Bro trust me it’s better to have a dick that fits than one that doesn’t. Not being able to do certain positions with certain women because your dick is too big to be comfortable for her for is frustrating

Cornbread and fried chicken have been around since before 1980, but the rest is pretty generic and fitting. I also have relatives who were moonshiners out in Ohio by a town which is literally called “knockemstiff” because one drink was powerful enough to “knock ya stiff” lol
Not sure the part about criminals fits though. Old men running illegal rooster fights aren’t exactly organized crime haha

The real curious thing is that these expected neurological rebound effects aren’t universally experienced. Some people are affected more strongly and in weird ways by withdrawal.
Being ADHD probably has something to do with it, but I can take my adderall (a relatively high dose btw) every day for months and then quit cold turkey and feel no noticeable withdrawal symptoms besides being hungrier and laughing at things more easily on the first few days after quitting lol
Now I wondering if there are neurodivergences for which GABA modulators cause different effects than expected and for which withdrawal symptoms might be negligible. Then again, GABA is like the major inhibitory neurotransmitter so maybe it’s not possible for the brain to function/develop well at all with any anomalies dealing with those receptors.
(This is not my field; I’m just curious.)
