Your strawman sucks, I’m not buying it

That's what you plan to do on the internet all day? Just use buzzwords without understanding what they actually mean lol? Or do you genuinely believe that isn't the root of most right wing estranged, convoluted, self-deceptive arguments? Because the Republicans being elected have been saying the quiet part out loud for almost 8 years now.

Gish gallop! Fallacy fallacy! Sealioning!!! And no, citing multiple sources is not gish gallop. I've been hit with that accusation in a personal chat recently too lol.

The difference between users on whatever instance you're on lol. I'm showing myself at 8 and 0 in Kbin.

Anyone paying for flagship phones has too much money and no need for a camera that great.

Blu and Moto phones all the way.

How dare the public not want to hear about us stripping the rights of gays, and trans people? ECHO CHAMBER! I JUST WANT CIVIL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOTHING BUT THUGS AND RAPISTS AND THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA.

How about no dude? Go back to Truth Social and rant there. Nobody wants to hear about your eugenics, how a female comic artist hurts your browsing experience and you're too contrarian not to spew misogynist rhetoric.

Progressives and most real moderates know better now. It's all bad-faith arguments and dog whistles. The paradox of tolerance is real and people need to stop platforming insanity.

Yes... that's how differing opinions work... they're different from each other lol.

Have fun purchasing ethical power, food, textiles and electronics unless you're already rich working at a non fortune-500 company lol.

Tangentially related but I remember thinking Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman could get it when I was a kid lol.

Hammerhead syndrome is just too much as an adult though.

Am I missing something that makes the image 18+?

Just made me think. Do the animals that win so much become smart because they're the top, or do they become smart then hit the top of the food chain?

Always column a and b... but I can almost guarantee mammalian apex predators get smarter the higher they are on the food chain due to increased and varied food supplies. Giving it a better and stronger reinforcement mechanism for increased intelligence...

Neat.

Ants, bees, humans, orcas, wolves, elephants, birbs...

I suppose the key is making sure to have pack behavior too. Loners like Crocs, great whites, etc too good to need to adapt plus aren't social.

Just watch TierZoo did you?

Are rhinos OP?

First though was Doom but someone said that already.

Hell March from C&C.

Something from this? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=song+about+getting+a+girl+back

Pretty sure I've seen more on Waifu War threads back on /r/anime lol.

Level 5 trips are the craziest. I've only experienced them... 3-4 times off the top of my head but they each were pretty special.

Hope you get some good rest though! Glad the visuals were neat.

Well yes, but not everytime you’re in a car you crash someone.

You drunk bro? lol

Go reread the post, because you're missing something lmfao.

I led with the car on car statistics and followed with the car on pedestrian.

Car on car: At 70mph (my interstate's posted speed in the USA) or 112 kph the chance of dying is about 50%. FWIW this is actually pretty hard to verify with direct studies/data after researching.

For every 10 mph of increased speed, the risk of dying in a crash doubles. In addition, as your speed increases so does your risk of serious injuries and damage to vehicles and property. In fact, speed accounted for approximately one-third of all traffic deaths in 2018, totaling 9,378 deaths.

Car on pedestrian: A healthy adult has a 50% chance of dying when getting hit 70 kph or 45mph. At 55mph, it's basically 80%. Many studies confirm this.

It straight up reads like cult craziness or crazy 2 am infomercials. HEAD ON! APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD! I'm glad you've placebo'd yourself into happiness though lol.

You said Exercise grows your hippocampus in 4 different bullet points lmfao. Great, it increases size by 2%. It proves nothing about whether it affects depression in adults. In fact, the studies show they do jack shit except help memory lol.

Exercise training increased hippocampal volume by 2%, effectively reversing age-related loss in volume by 1 to 2 y.

More showing it means little to nothing:

The effect of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volume in patients with psychotic disorders

Four studies examined the effect of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volume in people with schizophrenia or first episode psychosis (n = 107). Aerobic exercise did not significantly increase total hippocampal volume compared to control conditions (g = 0.149, 95% CI: -0.31 to 0.60, p = 0.53, Table 2). Among the two studies which reported effects on left/right hippocampus separately, there was no evidence of effects in either region (both p 0.1). There was also no evidence of heterogeneity or publication bias influencing these results.

The effect of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volume in other populations

Data in other populations was insufficient for pooled meta-analyses, and so results from individual trials are summarised below. Individual trials which examined effects of aerobic exercise in patients with depression (Krogh et al., 2014), mild cognitive impairment (Brinke et al., 2014) and probable Alzheimer's disease (Morris et al., 2017) all found no significant effects on total or left/right hippocampal volumes. One study examining the effects of exercise in young-to-middle-aged adults found no change in total hippocampal volume but did find a significant increase in anterior hippocampal volume following 6 weeks of aerobic exercise (Thomas et al., 2016).

Effects of exercise in relation to participant age

Meta-regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between mean sample age and effects of exercise on hippocampal volume. No statistically significant associations of effects of exercise with sample age were found for total, right or left hippocampal volume (all p 0.05).

In conclusion, this meta-analysis found no effects of exercise on total hippocampal volume, but did find that exercise interventions retained left hippocampal volume significantly more than control conditions. As these positive effects were also observed among the subgroup of studies of healthy older adults, the findings hold promising implications for using exercise to attenuate age-related neurological decline. Currently, the overall quality of the evidence is compromised by the fact that 10 of the 12 studies included some risk of bias, therefore more high-quality RCTs are now required. In additional to RCTs, a prospective meta-analysis examining how changes in physical activity and fitness predict hippocampal retention/deterioration across the lifespan would provide novel insights into longer-term neural effects of exercise, while also reducing the impact of methodological heterogeneity often found across exercise RCTs. Further research is also required to determine effects in younger people (Riggs et al., 2016), and establish the neurobiological mechanisms through which exercise exerts these effects, in order to design optimal exercise programs for producing neurocognitive enhancements. However, the functional relevance of structural improvements has also yet to be ascertained. Nonetheless, the link between cardiorespiratory fitness with both structural and performance increases indicates this as a suitable target for aerobic training programs to improve brain health.
