I think the inner monologue is more there to “support” the processing of information rather than being filtered through it entirely.

Now that’s just uncalled for.

I don’t think there’s actually any evidence that short-form content reduces people’s attention spans.

It looks like that study checked the effects of short-form content addiction, rather than short-form content in general. Addiction can be caused by underlying factors, such as stress or depression, which are shown to reduce attention span so I don’t think it really shows a direct causal connection. In fact, I think it’s more accurate to say short attention spans cause short-form content rather than the other way around.

That said, excessive social media consumption can make stress and depression worse, I just think we’re focussing on the wrong aspect of social media’s effect on our mental health.

Doesn’t mean it’s caused by short-form content. It’s kinda annoying seeing that repeated everywhere without evidence imo.

No need to be toxic about it. Do you think anyone who disagrees with you is automatically an asshole?

Other than that, there’s plenty that’s changed other than the existence of short-form content, with everything going on in the world right now people are more stressed than ever. And stress is definitely one thing that reduces attention spans.

Not saying that that is the solution but it’s definitely one explanation and in my view it’s more likely than what’s basically just the equivalent of ‘phone bad’.

Well, tough shit then. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Fuck off.

I looked at their twitter and their latest tweet was a quote tweet boosting an account widely known as an anti-lgbt hate group. They’re absolutely disgusting.

Cool, that kinda looks like vivaldi except based on firefox.

Drown in rain. I’m too big for the shelters.

What does ‘install’ mean here anyway? Most unity games I play are either distributed as archives or installed through third party launchers.

How Many Star Trek Episodes Pass the Bechdel Test? (TOS to ENT) | The Mary Sue (www.themarysue.com)

I found this after reading and responding to this post here about early Trek fans’ prejudicial negative reaction to TNG. One of my responses (see here) was to point out that any fans of the progressiveness of Trek ought to have been mindful of the room for improvement over TOS, with female representation being an obvious...

The Bechdel test doesn’t tell you if something is ‘good’ or not, you mainly use it to identify trends in media overal. The fact that voyager predictably scored highest is, to me, a sign that it does measure something real, which I’d consider to be a hallmark of what a good metric is supposed to do.
