There’s another phenomenon that interacts here - there is an observed higher prevalence of LGBTQ in autism (discussed here https://sparkforautism.org/discover_article/autism-lgbtq-identity/ and various research papers). Niche forums such as Lemmy, Fediverse, even Reddit all feel like they also have a higher autism spectrum prevalence than a general population. So I would guess there’s a double whammy on representation happening here - extra representation via safe space and shared interest on LGBTQ, extra representation ij autism spectrum, and an extra overlap between these two populations.

Scientists definitely do not say this though, we are really interested in cross-sensory perception, cueing, memory associativity, synaesthesia, and all that cool stuff.

However, let’s not forget the whole thing was created digitally then “printed” to film, so there was never a “film original”.
2·3 years agoNice breakdown. Maybe update your stats a little, we’re at nearly 8e9 people on the planet. Doesn’t change your conclusion much.
1·3 years agoThe difference is that placebo is an objectively measureable benefit, regardless of whether they report being better or not.
Misreporting is a reported benefit, regardless lf whether they are objectively measureably better or not.
E.g. joint inflammation could be an example. Measurable reduction in inflammation with a calipers could be induced by placebo, even if patient doesn’t report feeling better. But reporting feeling better may not come with any measured reduction in swelling.
Placebo is not (just) in the mind, it is in the entire body!
I acknowledge it is less clear-cut in mental health, but I just wanted to answer the general question outside of this specific context.
Surely ruining the atmosphere even more is a good thing…???

Yeah, leave, stop playing, don’t give good feedback. We also do a sharp AH noise when pushing them off - not a scary/mean shout, just enough of an attention grab that they learn that we mean “don’t do that”.

It said wire less, not wire free
My cats like attacking little wriggly things - feet are very good little wriggly things. When they were young they didn’t connect them as part of me, so always were attacking. Still have to be careful sticking my feet out from the covers after 3 years, every couple of weeks I still get a pounce.
That’s gonna get real annoying real quick, would train her out of that asap
What would be a current version of this April Fool - what technology would you create a standard for, what beverage would you interface it to?
If you can’t pay attention in your multi ton machine, then yes I am in favour of consequences for your actions. I am not in favour of the system that makes those consequences homelessness, no.
