I'm a classical music composer and psychology PhD student. I try to do research and write music that might make the world a little more rational and happy.

@ZaxxonGalaxian @williamwolfe Those who don't still generally recognize it as fiction and can differentiate between reality and fantasy.

@DrCamiloOrtiz Caring about people suffering in the world (trans people, refugees, victims of domestic violence, etc.) is what makes me a leftist and is a huge factor in why my mental health isn't as great as it could be. I'm just speaking from personal experience here.

@therabbithole I would expect a mild overrepresentation based on cognitive data and demographic factors for these schools.

@THibernian @DegenRolf The maximum amount of tolerance still condemns the intolerant.

@DanielVoUSA Especially since the only way they can really show how annoying he is involves his interactions with his crew, giving them more importance and relevance just makes sense.

@therollinnolan I'd agree, but swap martial arts with Bumi's motivations. There were several weak choreographical moments (Sozin is immune to wind because he's strong?) and Bumi had a more solid lesson (war involves difficult choices and harming people) to teach Aang than he did in the original.

@therabbithole Acknowledging WS dog-whistles seems like a good thing. Answering a question without providing relevant context can sometimes lead to a misleading answer.

@DegenRolf This hypothesis explains a lot. If it's not true, I'm very curious why a lot of policy related behavior exists as it does.

@StefanFSchubert If humans benefitted from migration, looking at and studying the details of mountains could be extremely useful for large-scale navigation. Finding them visually stunning seems like it might help.

[Stephen Baillargeon @sbb71791]

@StefanFSchubert Icy mountains nearby in particular seem like a sign that the water nearby should be clear. What do we know about the timeline of humans' increasingly sensitive water consumption?

@rgblong One possibility is that this is an example of how genes can sometimes be adaptive by adjusting the environment to speed up selection. Groups that pick on tigers evolve faster than groups that don't, thus more quickly developing adaptive qualities.

@cate_cevallos I personally love reading research papers. At least in psychology, the clarity of the language is exceptionally appealing to my autism and need for specifics. As a slow reader, I appreciate the reliable structure so I know what I can skip.

@FrancisGeohara @InternetH0F This reminds me of an even classicer trend...

@PicturesFoIder It's odd how easy to read this is.

@greg16676935420 Are you implying it's a pair of pair of pliers?

@piesaac I want the specific kind of mindslug found in those old Animorph books.

@cooltechtipz This post has inspired me to sit on the beach.

@michaelcurzi The heck is a postrat. I can't tell if this is meant to be ironic or not.

"Meme" is a useful word invented by a nerd that just helps us think of complex concepts more efficiently. It's kind of just the nature of language to evolve as a culture flows through different states.
