Framed !== frameless regardless

I'm pro-cryptocurrency generally, but I'm horrified by the crypto-as-salvation, utopianist narrative coming from some wealthy crypto proponents in denial of their own moral bankrup…

If a headline ends with a question mark, you can reliably answer, "no", and save yourself the trouble of reading it.

I wonder how the limits would change if the parameters of the problems were redefined as hypergraphs.

I recently read three peer-reviewed papers comparing the morbidity of COVID-19 vs the flu, and what it came out to was that COVID-19 is roughly 6x more lethal per modern case. I'm …

Wow. This is a horrendous level of overreach into personal lives. This kind of thing makes me really hope the Chinese govt's influence doesn't increase any more geographically.

As a personal user, I'd give Discord more money if high-resolution streaming and higher bitrates etc. were a bit cheaper, and I could buy credit which using these features ate thro…

It didn't matter to me that half of the loading messages weren't funny. I could tell from the moment I opened the app that they understood who I was and why I was there. I was ther…

I challenge this: > whereby they think about themselves, the world, and the future in overly negative and inaccurate ways Is it not possible for 'rock and hard place' depression to…

Further research is actionable. This is useful encouragement, because absence of correlation implies absence of causation, so this is an efficient way of eliminating one disproof e…

I have been noticing in myself a sense of eroding novelty in all fiction, where every device of comedy and tragedy is becoming a familiarity. I think this is a kind of maturity, wh…

The technical description of this phenomena is a bit conflicted. It seems to say the differing experiences are probably a result of different people having different visual refresh…

I see a tonne in this flashing thing, and the way I think is like a movie screen. I can't comprehend how thinking without vivid imagery is even possible. I really think there's var…

Check out Exploding Head Syndrome! I have it. I have only experienced it as a kind of electrical "boom", but the bursts of sound some of you describe sound related, especially sinc…
