- Comment on Well if it's low cost and easy to use.. 13 hours ago:
There was a study on boredom that found people who did NOT want to be shocked. They put them in a room with nothing to do for 15 minutes, and if I recall, about half or the people voluntarily shocked themselves for something to do.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 week ago:
This is the advice that’s consistent with what I’ve heard from several different lawyers.
There are lawyers who specialize in cases like this. I’d call one. You don’t want to be stuck with a spurious DWI on your record.

Do you call this well studied?
Yes.
Feel free to review any of the 54,000 scientific papers if you don’t like the one I shared. If you’d read and understood the abstract, you’d have seen that it is both an original study and review of the field of previous research. The page also includes links directly to dozens of related and cited papers. Psychological and behavioral studies are typically case studies, or group studies like this. This is considered a larger study in the field.
Feel free to present any paper that supports your counterclaim that there is simply not enough known about the issue to determine whether sibling incest is harmful or not. Please be sure that is is from this century and well-cited, since I did you the same courtesy. You can access full-text articles through an academic login, many public libraries, or archive sites.
- Comment on How accurate can your position be calculated from a photo of the sun you post online? 2 weeks ago:
In this example, where only the sun is pictured in relation to an indoor window, and no other information is present, it would be very difficult to make any kind of meaningful calculation. You could probably identify some information about the camera based on the proportion of the disk of the sun, but unless you had some additional information, such as the precise dimensions/compass direction of the window, or the location of the horizon, It would be impossible to make a calculation of this type. There just isn’t enough information.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 2 weeks ago:
In cases of close family sexual contact, consent is not a matter of a simple statement. There are lots of reasons why a person might make a statement of consent while they are in fact unwilling or unable to consent. This is always true, but particularly so in dealing with close family sexual contact.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 2 weeks ago:
No, it’s pretty well studied.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 2 weeks ago:
Incest is almost never between two consenting adults. There is almost always an inappropriate power dynamic, coercion, and/or grooming.
- Comment on Fuck IMDB and fuck Amazon 2 weeks ago:
The site is a web app. You van install it from your browser. It’s way better than IMDB and I’m not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.
- Comment on 💥 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough. Thank you for sharing a different experience.
You mentioned part of the issue; there are so many different services you don’t think of obviously. Of course, there’s mail, but there’s also storage and phone backups, maps, social media logins, shared documents and folders, photos, etc.
Absolutely the best way to do it is a little bit at a time. It’s definitely not a weekend project. But it is very rewarding and very much worth it.

If every browser and every piece of tech attached to them disappeared tomorrow, we would immediately reinvent them.
Having a program to display interactive information from a network is far too useful for communication. Websites are just code that is purpose-built for being rendered by browser software, and a network to exchange the code. Even when the internet was text-terminal only, people still created ASCII art, text tables, etc. There is technically software (such as word processors, ereaders, etc.) that can render webpages, but how would you connect to a site? How would you do anything useful? Companies would have to add those features to existing software. If you think Edge is a pain, wait until you have to surf the web in MS Word!

It can be very challenging to disentangle yourself from Google services. Once you start, it’s shocking how many different ways they hook into our lives.
But at least for me, it’s been absolutely worth it.

- Comment on How come Nurses are not bound by the same rule is a lawyer is to a defendant or a wife to a husband or a priest? If someone says something on their death bed why are we suppose to report? 5 weeks ago:
There is a conflict between confidentiality and mandatory reporting. The ideal of confidentiality is that anything you say in private that you don’t want recorded or repeated should be kept private. The ideal of mandatory reporting is that if anyone finds out about a crime a person has committed, it should be reported for the sake of justice.
The solution is that we limit both of them in different situations. Confidentiality is generally limited to those who have a crucial and necessary role in keeping information confidential. In other words, those positions or professions that are deemed essential by society and which require confidentiality to function properly. That’s lawyers, medical professionals, and in some cases, religious professionals.
Mandatory reporting is generally limited to those who are in a position that allows access to vulnerable individuals. That’s teachers, social workers, police officers, and sometimes also medical professionals or religious professionals.
Because those include some of the same categories, the law gets very specific and sometimes even contradictory in different jurisdictions.
