  • I’m not sure this actually does what he wants it to do. Im assuming, he wants to hear only cultural music but…

    I mean at 110 bpm they still get Wannabe by the Spice Girls and Dr Feelgood by Motley Crew, I’m a Slave 4 U by Britney, some Public Enemy and Daft Punk, and I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross.

    At 80, they still get Gangstas Paradise by Coolio, some Matchbox 20, Radiohead, Judas Priest, and TLC…and Doin Time by Sublime, which is appropriate, I guess.

    It’s not like all pop music has one tempo…













  • “If I don’t do everything right, then my kid will end up living on my couch forever or be a serial killer. … I don’t know if or when I’ll have what it takes to be a ‘good’ parent."

    These are pretty much the words I’ve heard spoken. Especially when there’s a lack of a support system / a support system you trust to help raise the kid right. The fear of permanently screwing up some poor soul is real.

    I think stability is a pretty big factor too. It’s not just owning a house and having a job that pays the bills. It’s about being in a place where you feel able to really give the kid everything they will need, emotionally and monetarily, in the long term. If one can’t count on a job to see the humanity in people, or even pay a living wage, how can they trust that their employer won’t let them go if their “metrics” go to crap, or that they wont just drive them insane. It’s nice to think you can leave the baggage at the door, but I’ve definitely been employed at places that have permanently changed me as a person, and not for the better.

    Obviously, everyone has their own reasons for not wanting a child, but, at its core, it’s our screwed up society and what it demands from us, with so little of a return.


  • Everyone I know is saying it too.

    What really stuck out was Putin withdrawing / moving equipment and people, at the same time he’s withdrawing from the nuclear test treaty, all while theyre in a “stalemate” with the Ukraine. I know it’s a testing treaty that even America was never in, but something seems fishy, and no one seems to really be talking about it.

    Isreals war is pretty obvious on its face, (You see who’s throwing punches at whom, in the news) but if Russia nukes Ukraine, it’s going to be a whole other animal.



  • what went into the meta analysis and why? What data might be missing from the meta review and why? Is only including double blind randomized controlled trials the best research method to answer the specific question being addressed? Was everything included together actually comparable?

    The critiques / rebuttals to the masking review typcially ask these questions. This review almost falls apart after considering the answers.

    If there’s not enough information to form a solid conclusion, maybe they have no business analyzing it until there is. At the very least, if they’re going to include partially unrelated studies, then reflect that in the title / opening statement. Don’t say the analysis is of apples, then analyze fruit in general.


  • I’m not saying that either I’m saying Americans are lazy and have no sense of work ethic and immigrants regardless of what they’re paid (not that I want them to be paid anything but the fair wage anyone else should be entitled to) are a required part of our work force and I’m grateful for the work they do. We wouldn’t have roads or building, or food. Some get paid well, some get paid shit. Im not a farmer so I can’t tell you if they chose to let the whole seasons crop go to waste over paying others more to pick said crops, or if they just didn’t have anyone that wanted to do actual work. From my narrow view, I have the tendency to think that no one wanted to work.

    Honestly, I think I took your comment to mean something it didn’t. I’m sorry for any misunderstanding.
