If they don’t want honest people considering it, maybe they shouldn’t raise the price by 80% in a single price change.

I paid for YouTube premium when it was first available. They guaranteed the price would never change as I was a first adopter. Then they did. Then they did it again. And then again.

Google can fuck off. They have all the money in the world and they need to extort the people who helped grow their business.

That was the joke lol

Also “an’ all”.

But… Fuck…

I an’ all I’m cracked up to be.

Comments are back, and even comment replies! This is huge!

Don’t worry, I do. The problem here is that there are two different definitions of truth. Scientific Truth/Fact is what we are left with after we rule out what is not true.

Science doesn’t make declarative statements about what is true in any ultimate sense. But when we talk about truth in science, we’re referring to the scientific consensus.

When we use the scientific method, we deduce facts about reality, then use those facts to infer “truth”. Of course, science is often wrong, and we discover when truth is wrong in the second half of the process.

Actually, yes.

Journal Impact Factor (JIF), is a very important part of establishing credibility.

Reputable journals are very selective about what they publish. They’re worried about their JIF.

If you get published in a journal with a high JIF, you can be as close to possible as establishing a foundation of fact, as their articles have a high chance of being both reproducible and accurate.

If there was a casino that took bets for which scientific discoveries would be true ten years from now, I would make money all decade long by betting on high ranking JIF articles.

Maybe if I dropped acid and was hypnotised, but my memory is quite poor.

Appreciate the effort but that’s not it. The game starts with the crash, not on a space station.

Okami won game of the year, it’s certainly not obscure. It even got a Steam release after all these years.

It was a game for PC around the year 2000, I don’t even know the name of it. I’ve been searching for it for years. It’s a point and click adventure game.

The premise is your spaceship breaks down on an alien planet. If you try to repair the ship immediately a giant alien spider will come and kill you.

After searching for a while you end up making friends with one of the aliens and sneak around one of the villages looking for parts.

I never made it past that point.

I highly doubt anyone will know what this is, I’ve tried multiple times on that reddit sub for games people can’t remember.

Nope, but that sounds like psychiatric malfeasance.

I’m sure nobody denies there are bad psychiatrists, but what you’re saying sounds more like an argument for better practice’s in psychiatry (which happen constantly), as opposed to the claim you had initially, which was about psychiatrists over diagnosing people with a mental illness.

On a related note: The frequency of ADHD diagnoses has risen drastically over the last few decades.

Someone may interpret this to mean psychiatrists are over diagnosing.

Another interpretation is more people are becoming ADHD.

But the medical consensus is that the public understanding of what ADHD is has improved. It is no longer understood as “little boys with too much energy”, and so, more people seek help.

It’s shameful that misdiagnoses happen, and I’m sorry that happened to you.

I’m trying to understand the underlying presuppositions which lead you to this opinion.

Are you convinced psychiatric medicine:

• is not effective?
• is over-prescibed?
• is a worse treatment than therapy?
• is harmful?

One of the first things you’re taught to understand when interpreting data is that you have a bias. It is impossible not to have a bias.

Take for example: 1+1=2. Is it an extremely simple equation, or a decades long mathematical pursuit to establish certainty?

Our bias tells us we can confidently assert such simple statements, but the truth is, unless we spend an agonising length of time understanding the most insignificant and asinine facts, we NEED biases to understand the world.

The point of understanding we have biases is to think more critically about which ones are most obviously wrong.

It never was.

Kudos for being able to say what you did, while using gay as a “derogatory” word, and not fucking it up in a way that would lead an uncharitable interpretation of what you said.

That being said, I absolutely agree with you, and the most homophobic shit I’ve ever heard came from guys who were so insecure about their sexuality, in a way that signalled to virtually everyone who was secure, that there was something about themselves they didn’t want to accept.
