What's the story behind this photo?

It was definitely true in my experience- the general feeling was that it's very hard to prove any general rules in psychology, because there are so many factors. You want to be able to say "people are ___" but people are just way too complex.

All I remember from my psychology classes is that for every study that shows some phenomenon, there's another study that shows the opposite. That's why I switched to math.

edit: well I guess the main reason was to help find a job...

Reminds me of a John Hodgman bit - we have ice hockey, field hockey, and air hockey, implying the existence of fire hockey.

I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

I wasn't affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

Japan got it right - their appliances play a little song instead of beeping.

 

One of my favorite things to come out of the Covid lockdown.

Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

 

I feel like it would be hard to say "brr" with an English accent, because the soft R would just make it sound like "buh".
