>His journey to this small town along the Arizona-Utah border is part of a growing global trend of people turning to ayahuasca in search of spiritual enlightenment and an experience they say brings them closer to God than traditional religious services.
Exactly. Religion does not deliver, and so it looks for something that can.
And then, like always, religion eats it.

Weren't these guys prescribing cow urine for covid? When all you have is a hammer, I guess everything starts to look like a nail.

I doubt it. She never said that when she was Nelson Mandela.

Speaking from the perspective as a non-american, I'm not ready for the capped teeth, sculpted eyebrows, surgically altered lips, and styled hair of the american "public personality". That shit looks completely weird to me.

I saw that pic and thought "wow, that's one cool-looking new EV. I'd love to take that for a test drive". But now that I know what it is, I don't want to anymore.

Reply to comment by DownvoteDaemon in New psychology research finds people feel more attached to gendered technology by nikan69
Is there a dominant negative stereotype that matches this? Is there a balancing, positive stereotype, or stereotypes focused on other traits which might also be in play? Are respondents signing on to that negative stereotype? Is there an association between the negative stereotype and the gendered voice? Does the selection of the voice, including pitch and timbre, word selection, and voice inflection invoke the negative stereotype either unintentionally or by design? There's a lot of assumptions bound up in the statement they make - they need to be teased out before the stereotype can reasonably be put forward as the cause of the voice preference. That's all I'm saying.

It does sound like the researchers are bringing an "agenda" to this. "Negative stereotype of women as compliant and willing to serve" needs to be unpacked before it can be included in the conclusions of a scientific paper.

Reply to Examining 100,000 crime-related posts from 14,000 Facebook pages maintained by U.S. law enforcement agencies between 2010 and 2019, researchers found that Facebook users are exposed to posts that overrepresent Black suspects by 25% relative to local arrest rates by giuliomagnifico
I'd love to see this research broadened - is this specific to Facebook, or do other platforms have the same tendencies? Does the strength of this effect vary with platform?

Driver's Seat by Sniff 'n the Tears pretty much defines the "great song - love to hear more of that but not gonna get it" effect for me.

That particular program aside, pianos are worth very little second-hand. If you have a couple of friends and a truck, you should be able to find something very cheaply.
