Another problem is that cosmic expansion affects the wire itself.

Not if its mithril :P

Says the two day old account…

What’s interesting, is that I’ve been drinking coffee my whole life, but it’s only in the last few years that I’ve started to experience this effect.

I used to get out of bed, drink a coffee and then go for a run, but that order of events would be unthinkable now, because I could end up in a predicment…

So I’m curious about whether age and/or hormones also play a part in this story…

Again, it depends on what you mean. You’re not really saying what these things are that you expect to disagree on, and that’s the important bit.

It depends what you mean. Individual instances have their own approach to moderation, which influences what you will see and have access to. Some are more hands off than others. But if your “free speech” is really just looking for a free pass to hate on folk, then you won’t have much luck with lemmy. There are instances that allow that, but most other instances block them.

I think its a big positive

That’s an ironic position to hold given your username…

I absolutely appreciate them. They give me the chance to decide for myself whether to engage with a topic, depending on where I’m at. Suicide is often hard for me to deal with, due to my own family circumstances, so sometimes I want to get in and help people who are struggling, but other times, I just need to avoid the discussion for my own wellbeing. Content warnings give me the opportunity to make that choice

Ethically sourced nazi apologism is still nazi apoligism

Perhaps don’t take your advice from an LLM that has been deliberately poisoned with transphobia, racism, nazi apologia and pro billionaire talking points.

LLMs are not truth generators to begin with, but that’s extra so with Grok

I don’t get it…

Kühn, S., & Gallinat, J. (2014). Brain Structure and Functional Connectivity Associated With Pornography Consumption: The Brain on Porn (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1874574)

This is the classic “correlation does not equal causation”.

The study quite openly says that they can’t tell from their study whether the differences they found were caused by pornography viewing, or whether they have discovered a precondition that makes someone more likely to enjoy watching pornography.

In addition, it’s unclear exactly what a reduction of grey matter in the right caudate means in real world terms. Body size correlates with grey matter volume, and no one would claim that a smaller person, with a lower volume of grey matter has a “destroyed brain”.

Loss of existing gray matter in that area may not be benign, but we don’t know, because the study doesn’t explore that topic.

Love, T., Laier, C., Brand, M., Hatch, L., & Hajela, R. (2015). Neuroscience of Internet Pornography Addiction: A Review and Update

Hilton, D. L., & Watts, C. (2011). Pornography Addiction: A Neuroscience Perspective

These two articles talk about pornography addiction, which is distinct from pornography consumption. In addition, both of them talk about the harm caused by pornography addiction as being a result of addiction, rather than an inherent aspect of viewing pornography.

Racism/White As The Default

Neither!

My kiddo calls me by my first name

I left when it became clear they had no interest in dealing with nazi sympathisers, and when it became clear that transphobia was acceptable, as long as it was “civil”. This was long before the Reddit API exodus

I found lemmy when looking for fediverse/federated Reddit like platforms, and spun up an instance to test it out. It was basically only me on the instance until the Reddit exodus happened, and then suddenly the instance and lemmy add a whole saw a huge growth in traffic.

And then we spun up a piefed instance when it became clear the lemmy devs also hold some shitty beliefs, so that users who wanted an alternative could have one.

I’m not going anywhere. Federated/decentralised social media is the future as far as I’m concerned. At the very least, it’s the only future I’ll consider.

He had plenty of water! Because the container was sealed, it didn’t evaporate off. It just didn’t get replaced, or oxygenated… And I assume he quite happily munched away on the algae for food

You can also use ^ to search your history instead, and do away with the tabs!

It is possible to develop ADHD like symptoms from a TBI of some kind. It’s not ADHD from a technical definition standpoint, but from lived experience of symptoms, it can line up with ADHD
