The brain is always “developing”. The whole 25 years thing is a myth and not based on real science.
It’s the new “we only use 10% of the brain”.

13·2 months agoYeah, this is pretty fucking dumb since Robin Hood is older than the Peasants’ Revolt.
14·2 months agoThey don’t. One is lose (loo-zz), the other is loose (loo-ss).
558·3 months agoSo success in life means actual intelligence? I disagree with that.
Success ≠ actual intelligence.
Plenty of very successful people who are complete morons.
Women are attracted to success, regardless of actual intelligence.
And of course this is a generalization. Women are not a monolith.
216·3 months agoYou just know that apple idiots will line up to get this.
Soon, you’ll be having people leasing laptops and trading them in every year for the new model, perpetually paying a monthly fee to have the best and newest laptop from apple.
151·4 months agoThat is an often repeated but false saying.
People are not who they truly are when drunk.
If someone is going through a tough time they might act out when drunk, and deeply regret it the next day because they acted exactly how they are not.
Or someone might be going through a great time and revel a bit too much and in ways they would normally not. And again feel great shame and regret the day after.
Anyone that’s been really drunk has done stupid shit. That stupid shit definitely doesn’t define who they are.
It’s such nonsense. Imagine telling every alcoholic that has gotten sober that they are defined by all the fucked up shit they did when drunk and that’s who they really are.
5·5 months agoI did read The Hobbit and enjoyed it quite a bit. It felt much smoother.
Also read his short stories “Farmer Giles of Ham” and “Leaf by Niggle”.
Finally reading The Lord of the Rings.
Almost at the end of Fellowship, but I must say it has been a bit of a drag.
I will most definitely finish it, but from all the hype I did have slighty higher expectations.
It’s also very likely that since I have already seen the movies and loved them, and already know what is going to happen, it has somewhat taken away from the book experience.
Although the whole Bombadil section was new, and I did not find it especially interesting.
Inattentional blindness.
This is nonsense. Epidurals don’t reach your brain. Not how it works. They just numb the spinal nerves so pain signals don’t reach the brain.
Isn’t the US infamous for being one of the only countries where once you hit 18 your parents expect you to fuck off?
And if you don’t, everyone belittles you for living in your parents’ basement?

Ontario man, 68, says he was threatened with prosecution if he didn’t comply
351·8 months agoHowever, the study stops short of proving cause and effect. The participants were only asked about their coffee drinking habits once, at the start of the study period, and this wasn’t monitored over time.
And they were followed for a median of 13 years.
This is a terrible fucking study. 13 years is a huge amount of time and people’s habits change constantly.
Someone could have easily started out drinking 5 cups a day and in 13 years be drinking no coffee at all.
Makes all their data invalid as far as I’m concerned. They could have at least made 1 single follow-up survey at the end to check if their drinking habits had changed. Jeez…
81·8 months agoAnd what’s the solution? More AI!!
Hallucinated references are an area the publisher is “actively exploring,” added Chris Graf, research integrity director for Springer Nature. Last April, the publisher announced the launch of a new in-house AI tool to check submissions for irrelevant references.
14·8 months agoI mean, wtf were they doing there? Like get some situational awareness for fucks sake.
Why are they strutting around as if looking for people to beat up in the middle of a large crowd during a snowball fight?
These cops need to be better trained.
43·8 months agoI guess winning a gold medal doesn’t stop you from being a loser.
What a bunch of losers. Completely tainted their victory with all this vile nonsense.
22·9 months agoIt’s not a parking meter. It’s one of those electronic paying stations (pay box). You can zoom in. It even says so.
Maybe don’t use substack to promote your anti-hate message. They’re literally profiting off Nazis.
Surfshark. Not open source. But so far works well for a decent price.
Mullvad went fascist and doesn’t work with streaming services.
Still have protonvpn too, but it wasn’t working well on my pc. Won’t renew proton.
And in the process of ditching other proton services too. What a shame. Unless they ditch Andy Yen, not going back.
