A PhD doesn't mean anything other than that you are a fast learner and are dedicated enough to work on a project for years. It doesn't mean you are intelligent or even that you know everything in your field, however it does usually result in you being an expert in a very specific small corner of your field.
One view of a premium member gives more to creators than one view of a non-premium ad watch. YouTubers giving a look into their payments have confirmed this.
Data was obtained from the UK Biobank, a repository of data collected from tens of thousands of people across the United Kingdom.
It is important to remember that an observational finding like this is inherently not causational. One group of people weren't asked to eat nuts while another was asked to not do so. Therefore, there is always the possibility that alternative explanations exist. A simple one could be: people that care more about their health tend to snack on healthier things like nuts instead of chips or sweets. And those people are less likely to be depressed.
I'm a scientist so I joined the instance that seemed to match my interests the best. I like browsing Local and seeing all the other science posts as well
If you want to be broad and make generalizations, sure. But in any meaningful sense, that is not correct. Dopamine is used in the reward pathway, it is not a reward by itself.
We've known this for a long time. Dopamine neuron loss is the main cause of Parkinson's disease, after all. But this study is the first to show definitively the function of dopamine in motor neuron control.
Yes, it is one study. One study that performed a literature review and drew conclusions based on its findings.
As it is a review article, its conclusions are not experimental, but observational. It notes similarities between outcomes of different studies. However of particular note is that the conclusions that you are most interested in are all correlational. That is to say, the negative aspects of pornography were not observed to be directly related to the viewing of the pornography, but rather associated with the groups of people who tended to view pornography more. That does not mean that X causes Y, as it could be that a third variable Z is the thing that causes both.
Don't change for people. Do the stuff you like to do, and anyone that has a problem with it probably isn't the type of person you want to be spending time with anyway.
And the Brimstone is an acquired taste. It's almost offensively smokey, but I like it. Their Baby Blue is far more palatable (and also delicious).

Because you shouldn't be allowed to watch bad movies, I guess?
