@cremieuxrecueil As a former music instructor, sadly true. Some kids have a thing for music to the point where they excel quickly; others understand it just enough to be able to play decently; other kids can never stay in rhythm to save their life

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

People who have practiced an instrument tend to have a better ear for rhythm, melody, and pitch.

But is this due to practice? Seemingly not!

We know this because twins discordant for musical practice don't differ in these skills.

New study reports primarily benefits of pornography by viewers (n=251)
"more words...describe the social representations of the benefits...than their harms"
"Our findings contrast with studies linking excessive AV use to psychiatric symptoms"

The purge of archival sites to preserve login walls is a big loss for truth on the internet.

For years archive sites were the notaries of the web, providing a trusted link proving information existed at a given place and time. Wikipedia articles cite them first rather than the original because a local news article will be gone to linkrot in a few years.

Reddit in particular needed the archives because it had become such a wasteland of censorship and account purges. Old threads were hollowed out with deleted comments, admin removals, and mass-overwrite account deletions.

I remember in one case, some moderators didn't want anyone to know that a subject of an article, a member of their community, was a rapist and registered sex offender, and deleted all mentions from the thread. Only from an undelete site could you see.

In another instance a major news site stealth-edited an article to remove information that was unflattering to a liberal narrative. It was just deleted without mention, probably with the rationale that this was not a factual retraction, even though it substantially altered the interpretation of the story.

Without trusted archival, the only way to prove that a site ever contained anything other than what it does now is screenshots, which are less trusted and easier to fake than ever.

@formerlyelm There’s something about the Reddit snark and posturing that I feel makes it more annoying than something like on twitter

[NullSci @Nullsci1]

Why is Reddit full of obnoxious people who insist their interpretation of things is the right one — even when proven false?? Like I don’t get that shithole

[NullSci @Nullsci1]

Unsubscribed from r/ teachers. They complain too much

[Macken @MackenMurphy]

Lookism is such a socially acceptable form of bigotry that people forget it’s bigotry.

@ferg_r_n @mooreerinxxx @CostelloWilliam Im not suggesting that, thats just the strawman you decided to go with

[NullSci @Nullsci1]

@SakuyaOokochi @thegoodguy85tv Bro thinks we carry the sins of our fathers

[NullSci @Nullsci1]

@ferg_r_n @mooreerinxxx @CostelloWilliam What exactly is being counteracted here? Misinformation and studies not properly cross-examined with the literature? What a bad article by ideological hacks.

Every time I see someone claim “there is no safe way to strangle someone” their evidence is always just:

- Injuries from violent domestic abuse
- “Look how many young people like being choked! Scary!”
- Questionable statistics from a lobbyist group’s website

[NullSci @Nullsci1]

@CostelloWilliam Herbenick is an interesting character. Their papers are always worded in such a way where he's trying to prove the negative argument -- but the data just rarely ever supports such stuff

[William Costello @CostelloWilliam]

Sexual choking is often portrayed as men imposing something on unwilling women after seeing it in porn.

The assumptions about women’s desire and initiative are empirically testable.

What do women themselves report?

ENJOYMENT
• 85.3% of women and 73.3% of men who had been choked reported ever experiencing pleasurable sensations/euphoria during it

• Among undergraduate women with choking experience, 50% enjoyed it “very much” and 33.4% “somewhat.” Among undergraduate men, 26.8% reported “very much.”

• Among women choked at their most recent sexual encounter, 86.3% reported pleasurable sensations/euphoria

DESIRE AND INITIATION

• Among women choked at that recent encounter, 72% wanted it “very much” and 20.5% “somewhat.”

• Among women reporting consensual choking at that encounter, 44.5% asked/told their partner to choke them, 39.6% had previously said they liked it, and 23.7% placed their partner’s hand on their neck. These categories overlap.

• In a separate Australian survey of adults aged 18–35, 27.4% of women with choking experience reported requesting it at their last choking episode.

PARTNER PLEASING

• 4.1% of undergraduate women and 5.5% of graduate women reported no enjoyment but allowing it because their partner liked it.
