Reply to Researchers found that joint play of two individuals, induced robust between-brain synchronization in parts of the brain, as if the two brains functioned together as a single system by giuliomagnifico
"Overall, this study provides evidence hinting at the remarkable capability of the human brain to understand and synchronize with others’ when the situation calls for it"
Or that both brains synchronise better with the fundamental universal dimension: consciousness

Isn't that up to women?

The dangers of 'equal outcomes', which leads to discussions of imaginary problems. Topics like this do nothing but widen any divide because one can easily find something which has disparity in the complete opposite. For example, I wonder what percentage of movies between 1920-2020 show women as violent... 8% perhaps?

Reply to Analysis: Cannabis Products Mitigate Need for Other Prescription Medications in Chronic Pain Patients by GivenAllTheFucksSry
It is very clear, now that large-scale studies are being done on the use of cannabis since the 1st legalisations in 2016, that the prohibition of this herb is solely due to the industries that knew they would suffer with cannabis legalisation.
There was a previous study here which stated that for every $1 spent on cannabis, upto $0.80 is not spent on alcohol. And now this study, which shows that cannabis is being substituted for dozens of costly pharma medications as in "65 percent ceased their use of opioids, 60 percent stopped using antidepressants, and 58 percent ceased their use of anticonvulsants".
The alcohol and pharma industries are not stupid and would have done their own internal studies which would have showed exactly this; that cannabis will threaten their profit margins. And they would have doubled down on the fear-mongering and lobbying politicians to continue to demonise the herb.
But this in no way exonerates the public from blindly and ignorantly accepting the lies and corruption. How long ago did we find out that corporations act based on profits, and politicians act based on re-election? The morality of the society must come from us.

Reply to Data from 15 countries and 25 million individuals show that the processes sorting people into different jobs account for substantially less of the gender pay gap than previously believed. Instead, it may the future as sorting becomes more important and same-job differences are rapidly decreasing. by skjeggutenbart

I don't get it. Who is doing this 'sorting'?

Just shows you that the laws have nothing, zilch, nada, zero to do with public safety.

We would be literally sick if we knew the toxins/pollutants which we ingest every day. Always thought the debate as to the use of grey-water was ridiculous considering all the toxins we ingest daily.

"“It actually turns out to be different,” she said. People can still feel lonely, even if they don’t spend much time alone."
i don't get this study. This is just unrealistic expectations causing inner stress. Get rid of the expectations gets rid of the stress. And it's not just relationships, it's anything in life. Make good solid decisions in life, then accept the universe unfolding how it will.

Reply to Recycled wastewater is not only as safe to drink as conventional potable water, it may even be less toxic than many sources of water we already drink daily by giuliomagnifico
It's insane to think that we are squeamish about recycled water when we have little care about the pollutants/toxins that we breathe in every day.

Reply to Research shows that people in good physical shape are less likely to need a sleeping pill prescription. The beneficial effect of exercise is stronger for men, who have a 15% lower risk of needing drugs for troublesome sleep issues but also women can benefit from it by giuliomagnifico
Would be interesting to study why being in shape did not benefit women as much. Would that suggest that something like anxiety plays a stronger role with women?

I think that the issue is deeper. If you are facing a vote of 2 candidates both of some evil, you should of course vote for the one of lesser evil, then you should run yourself the next election.
The vet should not euthanise animals, should quit, and start a ground-level campaign to create a shelter which does not euthanise.
How else will society change?
