It’s also not cognitive dissonance

Look around lemmy. You have tons of people saying they don’t like either candidate or their vote doesn’t matter so they won’t vote. Imagine how many people out there are willing to vote for a candidate from a dynasty.

Operative word being: knowingly.

I was gonna say, I don’t think metal has a higher rate of nazis. You look at country and you basically have to accept they’re all MAGAts (another reason to just avoid country). I think most people in metal are pretty progressive, that’s why they’re in metal. Honestly Dero Goi is a great example: he jumped down a conservative rabbit hole and left metal.

If anything, it’s just that the nazis are always a vocal minority and when they’re into metal it’s some confirmation bias for close minded people who don’t like metal.

Exactly. Luckily I’m in a field where true experiments are possible, but I have many colleagues who can’t ethically run true experiments. It’s surveys or nothing for the most part. They have very advanced statistics to account for the lack of control in their research.

Good thing I didn’t call them insects then. Unfortunately fences won’t stop ticks as they jump and ticks won’t respect the boundary.

Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don’t wanna have to worry about ticks.

Me: needing to become a programmer because the professor for my graduate stats class has a hard on for R…

What? As a neuroscientist: caffeine is not “technically a drug” it is a drug. And yes, people are absolutely addicted to it. That “craving” you’re talking about is withdrawal and it’s real. Doesn’t matter if “billions*” drink it every day. It’s no mental gymnastics to say that there are millions if not billions of coffee addicts. Addict is not a defined term in the psych/neuro field so I would argue that that many people who would go through withdrawal without it are all addicted.

Wtf does it matter what other drugs are out there? Not everything is a competition. Current dependence on caffeine in our society is absolutely a problem as a result of too much stress and work pressure on everyone. Caffeine is not a cure to that.

Tl;dr: Yes caffeine is objectively a drug and yes very many people are addicted to it.

Yeah to me Classic Rock is 60’s and 70’s. Classic Rock is a genre not classic rock, rock which is classic, classic meaning it has stood the test of time. Linkin Park may be classic at this point, but they’re not Classic Rock.

This is what happens when I’m posting while exhausted. It’s not Pavlovian/classical, it’s operant conditioning.

No because this is classical operant conditioning not Pavlovian.

Edit: Corrected for my stupid response while exhausted.

There’s definitely already stuff like that for Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster.

FYI Durmstrang is from Hungary.

Check out the blf forums. Reddit also used to have a great flashlight community but I avoid that site now. There are flashlight communities on Lemmy and kbin. Cheule is a good YouTube channel to check out.

99%, don’t forget about colostomy bags my friend.

MS18 actually. Genuinely the brightest handheld flashlight in the world.

This is not the fundental attribution error. The fundamental attribution error is seeing an action from a person and assuming it is a fundamental attribute of them. Literally in the name. E.g. you seem someone being rude in public so you assume they are a rude person. Meanwhile if you are rude in public you chalk it up to being in a bad mood as a result of something that happened to you, not because you are a rude person.

How does this help you at all when buying used? The number of 15 year old cars with maintenance records at all is abysmally small. And usually it’s an enthusiast car that’s not gonna be reliable anyway. Being on top of tire pressure and oil changes is definitely not nearly enough to keep a car maintained for 15 years. It really sounds like you’re not familiar enough with cars and just have a contrived idealistic view of the car market.

And how can you assure it’s well maintained?
