Here is the study referenced:
At least we tried? #tfr
Here is the study referenced:
Ai Weiwei lived in China most of his life, and was openly critical of the government there. He has been imprisoned before. In his family history, one of his parents was internally exiled. This is a brave person who knows a few things from personal experience and deserves some respect and consideration, even if you disagree.
Crickets is a good alternative. Especially when sprinkled on avacado toast.
Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.
“In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol” - linked study
So people trying to be manipulative bastards in ‘nice’ games increase thier stress? Interesting.
Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don’t know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:
“In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest.” - Wikipedia
Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.
I don’t actually know anything. But casually to me it looked like a choice between 160% chance of it getting worse and a 300% chance of getting worse. And it’s not very surprising at all in these circumstances many go for the latter for all sorts of reasons (and delusions). But I don’t actually know anything.
Interesting perspective. Maybe you could find some good articles with more nuance to post?
Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.
Friend’s grandfather used to say…
The hurrier I go the behinder I get.
I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.
Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.
Where did you find the actual study? The link in the above article leads to https://purl.stanford.edu/vb515nd6874 which has an abstract, but I can’t see the study.
A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?
Probably the easiest way to avoid it is to simply rename it to something less scary sounding. Maybe something like Alive Enhanced Rich Content Internet Theory for Human People! See, not a problem now.
Also maybe we should reread Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It has a storyline about a guy who finds out he is the only actual real person on earth. Everyone else are robots. And he wants to know why.
Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It’s the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn’t do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.
A cherry picked selection from this weeks’ playback history…
Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.
Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.
Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.
