inferis posted:weird, i started taking bupropion for mental health, but it’s also marketed a smoking cessation aid and it ended up doing both. I had no plans to quit smoking, but it made the cigarettes not do anything so I just kind of stopped without really any intention I smoked cigarettes on bupropion for like 7 years. Try smoking harder and you’ll find it’s possible to make it through

Psychology has changed a lot since then, and there have been large feminist and otherwise movements to break ties with Freud. In most college courses he is given credit for the subconscious. Jung is mostly treated as a vocabulary term. OK, you said they left out the good stuff. Please, tell us the good stuff.

The Atomic Man-Boy posted:Probably any Chinese-owned VPN company. Every time you see the US congress or senators or any US-owned media crying about Chinese apps spying on you they mean "Please don't use these apps because we have a hard time spying on you if you do." Unless you are a Chinese national or travel to China frequently or something you have zero reason to care about the CCP lookin' over your shoulder, at least compared to any US-based service, who could potentially leverage your data against you. I’ve had a good experience with HK-based BlackVPN back in 2013, sounds like they’re still OK.

Cached Money posted:I know the concept of end to end encryption is hard to understand but try to understand that it is way easier to hack someone's phone than it is to break the encryption itself I recommend using Signal with friends to talk about subjects like pizza because it’s better than, say, Messenger. You might be able to rely on it to protect yourself from, say, nation-states that might lack close US intelligence relations, but you’re pretty hosed if the US wants to spy on your poo poo. You can math all day coming up with complex encryption schemes but there are many, many other vectors they can get you with, starting from modifying binaries in the App Store to changing OS code to directly exploiting hooks in the hardware placed there specifically for the government to pwn yuo. Even if you assumed there’s no way for them to modify the binary, the latest source code wasn’t even published until a month ago or so, long after people complained about it. At the end of the day, Signal is a cryptocurrency scheme cooked up by a US government contractor who calls himself Moxie Marlinspike. If you’re serious, try an airgapped non-x86 SoC running a barebones OS that you will only use to encrypt and decrypt GPG messages

V. Illych L. posted:a lot of the evidence for narrow sense heritability of a lot of traits is grounded in twin research which is increasingly coming under scrutiny from some quarters. basically what the twin studies do is to find identical twins and assume that the genetic component of variation is fixed and measure a variety of other stuff and then assume that this constitutes narrow sense heritability. this is a good idea, but it's problematic for a variety of reasons ranging from formally statistical (heritability is a dynamic variable depending heavily on context to emerge) to philosophical (increasingly, people are coming around to the idea of genes as predispositions, which makes narrow sense heritability very difficult as a concept) to biological (there's a fair amount of stuff that goes on before the fetus is fully matured, which is not covered by the twin separation) which all basically boil down to "you haven't fully controlled for what you hoped to control in your experimental design" who does twin studies without accounting for environmental factors anymore? it’s a solid criticism of how we got here but not really of how psychological research has been done for years and years. the biopsychosocial model is the main one taught these days afaik, not the biomedical model. ex. https://www.nature.com/articles/ng.3285 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0151405

I think there’s a difference between the development of political consciousness and identity, radicalization, and crack-pinging, which suggests some kind of sudden cognitive dissonance in processing the world, like, a sudden moment of clarity that feels like you’re losing your drat mind and that having these thoughts and knowing this knowledge is almost too much to bear.

dead gay comedy forums posted:There's a bit of fuckery though: Nico. Ms. Päffgen had to be marshalled into Velvet Underground by Warhol's amazing capability to be insistent and annoying, who believed she had to be in the band at any cost, making Reed and Cale relent eventually because Warhol was helping them with securing some cashflow. She was a bad singer (and partially deaf to boot) and her German came on thick, and her own exaggerated bohemianism made Lou loving Reed think she was undisciplined and tell her to take it easier on the heroin. She came, record was done, and immediately got cartloaded to a solo career that was highly overproduced for a bad singer. So what's the big deal? the marble index and desertshore are really good, and her voice suits those perfectly. she was probably a bit stupid, though, and her mind was wrecked by drugs.
