  • Hell yeah. Correlation studies are useless guys! I know very much science.

  • The Link between Cannabis and Psychosis in Teens Is Real

    Jump

  • Hey thank you! I thought Lemmy could never have the full Reddit experience, but there's completely lazy and misinformed comments here too.

    Try reading the article next time.

  • The Link between Cannabis and Psychosis in Teens Is Real

    Jump

  • No, they don't "fail basic science". They point out that there is a correlation and we need better studies, but the mere existence of the correlation is worrying, especially considering a lot of recent studies are confirming the link between cannabis and teen psychosis. A lot of the early studies on the harm of cigarettes started similarly. Correlation between lung cancer and smoking tobacco doesn't imply causation, but it's one hell of an alarm bell.

    The author of the article themselves doesn't say cannabis is a gateway drug and even recognizes that asking people to just not use it isn't realistic.

  • Props to you for choosing being yourself even though it's hard!

    My coming out was pretty messy too. I can only tell you that it gets better. You already have a good social safety net from what I can understand on your post, but I would recommend too that if you don't have already, start making new IRL trans friends. They are sure to help you navigate this moment.

  • Same here. I guess it's a blessing.

    I'm not coming back to Reddit through their app.

    Jump

  • They could call for civil disobedience. They could maybe act like there is an attempt at a fascist takeover of government instead of prioritizing being nice and polite.

    There are some democrat politicians that are sort of begging to take things seriously, such as AOC. But if the party itself doesn't get its shit together, they'll be remembered in history like the Weimar Republic.

  • “Hypno Fetish” had its own space on a bingo card over on /r/Traaaaannns2, so it can’t be that uncommon. Does anyone share this curiosity?

    I have had this fetish since before coming out, but as an hipnotist. I don't really like the idea of being sexually hypnotized, and my transition feels too "sacred" for me to like feminization/sissy content in general. I don't even like it with other people honestly, it feels like the most boring kind of hypnosis to me.

    Do people engage with erotic hypnosis in a responsible manner? The rational part of my brain says that’s impossible: it’s like inviting someone to “root” your “flesh robot,” for a combination of money and their own entertainment. Feels like asking to be taken advantage of.

    At the end of the day it's a lot about trust and informed consent. It's fundamentally not that different from let's say, if I'm a rigger. Me and my sub should have mechanisms to maintain consent, and they should trust that I will untie them if consent is removed.

    inb4 "they can’t get you to do anything you don’t want to"

    Oftentimes the point (at least for less scrupulous hypnotists) is to expand the limits of “consent.” Also, when you’re sufficiently horny you’ll do almost anything.

    That's why people have tags and similar stuff. That enters in con non con territory and some people are into it. Others are not and should be able to stay clear from it.

  • It really doesn't get general knowledge correct.

    AI will often confuse itself because the answers are probabilistic. So it often is right, but just as often is hallucinating random BS, because AI doesn't really know shit. It just detects patterns.

    I just saw a post on Reddit about GPT claiming Argentina is the second most populated country in South America (which is false, it's Colombia), but since Argentina is usually second place in most lists in the region, GPT tends to place Argentina in there anyway.

  • I think aiming for extinction is shortsighted and puts a lot of blame on humanity as a whole for the wrongs of colonialism.

    But reducing our population, especially in countries with a larger carbon footprint (and not in developing countries as eco fascists would prefer) is a worthy goal.

  • Sorry for the delayed answer.

    I think we're disagreeing on the definition of a "person". I'm using the word to refer to a mind and its subjective experiences inside its own head. You're using the word to refer to a body and other people's relationships with a mind. It's internal vs external.

    Yes. You're right. However, I would argue that there isn't such thing as a "mind and it's subjective experiences inside it's own head" without a social reality supporting it. You're coming from a Descartian point of view, and I'm going through a Hegelian one.

    This is not dehumanizing high support needs disabled people who can't communicate effectively, but pointing out that they are still part of our world, and we're part of theirs. Even if neither us and them recognize that.

    As you say, consensus reality is a social construct. If someone is not socially impressionable enough to be taught this construct, then they are not a member of reality.

    That's where I hard disagree beyond philosophy. Because it doesn't matter if You don't understand or recognize a social construct, it will still affect you and produce reactions, ingraining itself in you. As long as someone can experience anything at all in this world, they will experience the consequences of social decisions, and by consequence, a mirror of decisions made by this society. And as long a someone can produce any behavior at all (save reflex), they can and will communicate.

    This consciousness is always imperfect even with NTs, but it's always there.

  • Apoliticism is a mental disability

    Jump

  • I think you're confusing politics, which is related to collective decision-making, with culture.

    I'd also argue that there really aren't apolitical people, even level 3 ASD people who can't speak or traditionally communicate at all. Our existence is always political and collective, even if we don't perceive it that way. There is no individual without society, to pretend otherwise is neoliberal ideology.

    A meltdown in public due to bright lights is political, even if it isn't a conscious, intentional protest. Reality itself is socially constructed and political, and we ASD people aren't above or beyond it.

    Of course, we miss some social rules or can't adapt well to them, but that doesn't mean they don't affect and shape us. I don't feel jealousy, I don't understand monogamy at all and I think it's kind if stupid to be honest. This does not stop me from putting in some of my partners very monogamous expectations based on time spent with me or other secondary things that only make sense in monogamy, because "that's how relationships work". Except that no, that's how monogamous relationships work, but the only kind of deep relationship we're presented are monogamous and there's a lack of other frames of reference.

    Politics isn't something you can miss, because it is shoved down your throat from the moment you are born, even if you don't understand it. Actually scratch that, since even abortions are at stake.
