How would it not be? Every industry creates product to meet demand. They aren’t going to produce more or less just for fun.

Impact on price: probably negligible.

Impact on production: the average amount of meat that 1 person eats x the number of people choosing alternatives, over a period of time.

He just kept talking and talking in one long, incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt.

It was really quite hypnotic

I see through the lies of the FIDE

Are they really? How does that work if someone returns books way late or never? Is there a point that they get charged the full amount?

Oh weird, I guess the photos cycle out on the “new” page.

Happy to be of service!

Yeah, it’s a famous game (game 1) from the World Chess Champtionship in 1972.

Fischer was flustered about various conditions of the tournament and made an amateurish blunder by taking a “free” pawn with his bishop, which Spassky then immediately trapped.

Ooh, I should look into this for GNOME.

I was glued to the stream for that one too!

And I know it’s been done before, but I absolutely cannot wait until the Artemis moon landing mission. It should be a national holiday so that everyone can watch.

This has to be the coolest one.

The Artemis mission is so exciting

It was a very common way of seeing it on AIM back in the day. I don’t know if it was a time-period thing or an online thing though.

Some people argue that we’re pathologizing normal boy behavior with regard to ADHD specifically, because the gender split is very disproportionate.

I think that’s possible, however, an alternative explanation could be that it’s legit, and boys are just more prone to some disorders and girls are to others. Who knows? The whole thing is way less precise and objective than it would be in a perfect world.

Yeah, it’s extremely common. Pair that motivated sentiment with a kid who’s in the diagnosable age range (or an adult), and a diagnosis is almost guaranteed.

Most mental health diagnoses are dependent on subjective reporting of symptoms and history, so if someone - or their parent - want the label or have otherwise already convinced themselves that it’s true, their self-reported history is going to be colored by that, and most clinicians are going to err on the side of the treatment that the client wants.

Through a combination of diagnostic creep, laymen/casual use of psych terminology, and the odd cultural trend of label-seeking over the past 10-15 years, many diagnoses have been watered down. Autism and ADHD are probably at the forefront.

Shipwrecks are never not going to be interesting

In some good news on this note, the UK Home Office said yesterday that they’re finally going to stop sending the police after people who make legal, but otherwise offensive social media posts.

When I saw the headline yesterday, I thought it was someone’s idea of an April Fools joke. It’s about time though, because it was getting out of hand.

(these are the numbers from 2023, I believe)

I’ve had good luck with steam games, although I mostly play older titles these days and not online multiplayer.
