Plants “feel pain”?

The study is more correlation than causality. Even though they tried to be careful they did not (and can’t) account for a plethora of confounding factors, which – especially with depression – is particularly problematic.

They provide a plausible explanation for a causal pathway, but did not prove it. This provides a testable hypothesis, which is why I would read this more like “more research needed”, rather than definitive proof. I wouldn’t go as far as to say “eat an orange a day, to keep depression away”. Although it probably wouldn’t hurt to eat some more fruit, given how bad the fruit content in most people’s diet is anyway.

So this is, unfortunately, a rather sensationalist takeaway you’ve provided here, OP. But that’s the curse of how we’re doing capitalism. Even ‘top research universities’ like Harvard need to be sensationalist to attract some publicity and get their research funded.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to get fucking literate in the use of media. Examples like these are harmless and just point out how easy it is for malicious actors, be it states, political partys, or other groups and individuals, to spread misinformation.
The use of AI tools such as LLMs makes this even more important.

Fußball verdummt. Die Erkenntnis in Bezug auf Hirnschäden ist bereits seit rund 20 Jahren bekannt. Aber da es ein Volkssport ist, nehmen wir dir Risiken nicht ernst, da unser Vergnügen wichtiger als die Gesundheit von Menschen ist.

My therapist already knows. Not much we can currently do about it. There is also plenty to deal with so this is also conparably low on the priority list.

Didn’t Biden undo a lot of shit that Trump has done during his first term?

It helps to survive. You can still critizice the fucked system while suffering less from it. Often that’s the best one can do.

I have been and still am in therapy for a couple of years now. I would still like to be lost at sea to get such a break. (Provided I can easily survive that.)

Someone built a portal in the Minecraft dimension to throw a few over to us. /j

Only “almost” so it’s still fine. /j

Gute Besserung!

People forget about the other genders when it comes to the issues with smart glasses. And kids. Where is the “for the safety of our children” mob, when we need one?

You may need to learn how to learn.

Why the fuck does it share data with anti cheat and security tools?
Does it have competitive multiplayer?

If you can place a dimension that is orthogonal between two dimensions, then those two dimensions are parallel. /j

Und doch, Zynismus hilft mir. Und damit bin ich sicher nicht alleine. Es tut gut, wenn das geteilt wird. Dann fühlt man sich mit dem Verdruss nicht so alleine.
