As someone who’s not too familiar with the bureaucracy of academia I have to ask: Can’t the authors just upload all their studies to ResearchGate or some other website if they want? I know that they often share it privately with others when they request a paper, so can they post it publicly too?

I simply must repost these images whenever I get the chance because just looking at the facts always shows how utterly full of shit conservatives are:

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

It’s a shame that it doesn’t seem to have that many players anymore. It’s a lot like other multi-class shooter games like Overwatch and Paladins, but about three times more crazy and weird, and I had a ton of fun playing it as a teen.

I’ve heard Garden Warfare 2 is pretty good too though, so I’ll consider buying it at some point (when I have money).

Not sure how deeply positive it was necessarily, but as far as I can tell I changed at least one person’s life significantly.

When I was in middle school I learned how to solve the Rubik’s cube through online tutorials, and afterwards I was basically addicted to it for a while and I was messing with a cube all the time. One of my classmates was interested in learning how to solve one, so I drew a bunch of guides and taught him the terminology, and soon enough he was also hooked on the Rubik’s cube.

I eventually grew tired of it, but he kept going and learned how to solve all sorts of smaller and bigger cubes and pyramids. I bumped into him at uni a few years later and he had a cube in his hand lol. Last I heard of him he was even participating in some local competitions, but idk what he’s up to now.

Even if he ultimately gave up on his speedcubing dreams I can at least say that I introduced him to a cool new hobby that kept him entertained for several years.

Kinda sounds like how worker cooperatives work tbh, but with Gabe still technically being the owner.

I remember reading a news piece a while back about how the founder of a food company made sure to transfer ownership to the employees before leaving. While we’re talking about worst-case scenarios, let’s also hope for the best and hope that Gabe has a similar plan.

Sorry to give you false hope 😔

But I still believe that we’ll get at least one video this year! 😭

No but you see he is a visionary! A real life Tony Stark!! He’ll do great things with that money like… Making Twitter X likes private for some reason…? I’m sure that cost a lot of money somehow /s

Winter because I live in Brazil, which is a tropical and very humid country so the heat can get unbearable even here in the south where it’s colder compared to the north.

There are a few cities that get cold enough to reach negative Cº, but where I live it’s mostly between 10º-20º during winter so I just need some extra coats and more blankets and I’m happy. During summer I can only take off so many layers before it becomes illegal.

Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - ahem - unofficial version.

Ragdoll_X , 12 days ago

$15 is like 80 BRL and I don’t have a single cent to my name right now so…

Not my favorite community but I wish !writingprompts had more engagement. It was really cool on Reddit and I wish it got more love here as well. I’d participate too but I can’t write for shit.

It’s kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior

But in case you’re curious about the actual answer

Ages ago I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias (my main focus being zoophilia as I was contributing to WikiFur), and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There’s one more from Canada, but they didn’t ask about autogynephilia/androphilia.

I’ve recently been watching a lot of videos on prominent cases of fraud and malpractice like Francesca Gino, Claudine Gay, Hwang Woo-suk, etc., which prompted me to start reading more into meta-research as well, and now I’m basically paranoid about every paper I read. There’s so much shady shit going on…

Ragdoll_X , 1 month ago

I’ve always wondered if some sort of decentralized, community-led system would be better than the current peer review process.

That is, someone can submit their paper and it’s publicly available for all to read, then people with expertise in fields relevant to that paper could review and rate its quality.

Now that I think about it it’s conceptually similar to Twitter’s community notes, where anyone with enough reputation can write a note and if others rate it as helpful it’s shown to everyone. Though unlike Twitter there would obviously need to be some kind of vetting process so that it’s not just random people submitting and rating papers.

IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1% that was CSAM, with the researchers identifying the images through their hashes but they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.

Still, you could make AI CSAM even if you were 100% sure that none of the training images included it since that’s what these models are made for - being able to combine concepts without needing to have seen them before. If you hold the AI’s hand enough with prompt engineering, textual inversion and img2img you can get it to generate pretty much anything. That’s the power and danger of these things.

This did happen a while back, with researchers finding thousands of hashes of CSAM images in LAION-2B. Still, IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1%, and they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.

It’s obviously tongue-in-cheek, but it gets the point across lol

One that I really like is Dear David by Adam Ellis. And yeah yeah, I know that he’s going for the usual “true ghost story” marketing shtick or whatever, but these stories that don’t just use cheap jumpscares and instead build a sense of constant threat and impending doom are the ones that make it harder for me to sleep at night.

I heard that the movie is trash though 🙈

Capybaras are pretty common in the area where I live, and really throughout most of Brazil. Don’t get me wrong, we still think they’re pretty cute, but I’ve seen some Americans get really excited about them.

Oh, and the maned wolf. To be fair, I think they’re pretty neat too.

I think there were much better ways for the Legislature to go about addressing their concerns, rather than this ham-handed approach.

You mean the made up concerns about trans women in bathrooms that have no basis whatsoever in reality? Maybe the legislature should be more concerned with improving the lives of their constituents, or the fact that Utah has one of the highest CSA rates in the country.

Sadly no, as some states don’t have data for all the years or choose to not participate altogether. One example is Florida, which recently withdrew from the survey because they had “grave concerns” about the survey’s “inflammatory and sexualized” content: floridapolicy.org/…/its-time-to-reinstate-the-you…

You can see the results for all available states and years here though: nccd.cdc.gov/Youthonline/App/Results.aspx?TT=K&OU…

If this is nature then capitalists are a parasitic species that should be exterminated (in Roblox).

Although I don’t have kids everything I’ve heard about the Ruby Franke/8 Passengers case made my blood boil. That scumbag saw her kids as nothing but a way to get clicks and money, and I’m glad that she’s going to rot in prison.

And related to this, add animal abuse to the list of things that make my blood boil too. It’s wild to think that until recently there was such a thing as a thriving “monkey torture network”.
