which is such a shame because there really should be more evidence for what is and isn’t placebos

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Larian Studios defends Valve: Steam's success is deserved
10·6 days agoI will say they were less weirdly invasive than whatever it was EA had me running just to play sims 2 in 2017ish. Why tf do you really need to protect you IP that hard for a game that old with newer sequels for???
yeah I thought it was a fetish thing

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a right way to tell a woman she intimidates you sexually?
34·10 days agoyou say you’re worried about harassing her. we need more context on why you’re worried about this to be able to give the best answer. If this is a professional context for either or both of you, the focus should be maximizing your professional rapport by reassuring her without mentioning romance. if it’s a very laid back workplace where strict boundaries aren’t 100% mission critical you miiight get away with something like “in a different life I’d like to know you a little better actually, but I think the most important thing for both of us right now is to keep this professional.” vs if this is an entirely personal relationship you could try something more like,"I’d actually like to know you better if you’re interested but I didn’t want to overstep.“

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the differencr between UV resin used for crafts, the one used in 3d printers, the one used in nails and the one used in our teeth by dentists?
12·12 days agoanother relevant comparison is why it’s OK for you to get irradiated by the xray machine but the technician goes and hides behind the wall. you’re getting it done once today, the technician is doing it 50 times a day 3-5 days a week (or more depending on cost of living in the area 😉). You’ll notice a lot of those nail techs and dental professionals are also wearing respirators while applying product to their clients and patients. wear your ppe.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what is the equivalent of somatic exercises for the mind?
7·12 days agopsych nurse here: somatic exercises are also for your mind. your mind is part of your body. the idea that they’re separate things or that the brain is “in charge of” the body as opposed to a neat accessory that can do helpful things for it is silly. That concept in and of itself causes a lot of psychological dysfunction that somatic therapies exist to rectify by reunifying the two.
Posted for the field orders, raged for the “service fee.”

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Not using AI is an INCREDIBLE untapped power source!
113·13 days agoSome people don’t realize that letting AI live rent-free in their heads like this is just another way of wanking to the idea of it.
a few weeks ago the cat jumped up on the couch behind me to start gagging right over my head. it was a whole new level of Audacity that I never even knew existed.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence?
1·15 days agoI mean we’ve already accepted that we don’t know how big the universe is. The way physics has been going lately the universe might actually be bigger than reality.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence?
2·15 days agoif there’s higher dimensions they’re still part of the universe as I know it, they’re just not in the parts I can perceive. There’s very little useful speculation I can do in relation to the parts I can’t perceive. Apparently this is called “existence monism,” so this would be one of the other things in the Wikipedia theology tree. personally I would classify it as a type of Monolatry.
why are they booing you? you’re right!
