Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.


Apples.
I never really thought about it, but 19th century novels etc just refer to “excellent” or “exceedingly keen” memory. Like it was part of the memory recall continuum. Eidetic and photographic make it a category difference, like it’s a different thing than the regular memory continuum.


So it does! Honestly I kinda tuned it out because I thought it was stupid.


I think that may be true? I only know Leary from that Asshole song, and alive alive oh from Molly Malone.
I think ads are super effective for some demographics. Children are probably the best target market. Teenagers, particularly those who seek external validation or align to external norms are a sweet spot. Old guys like me? No effect whatsoever.


She’s a keeper.


Not a Tankie! 🥳


I still have no idea what a Tankie is. As far as I can tell it only exists here on Lemmy and I might be one.


The fact that Trump was older when elected is part of the joke.


Whoosh


This is almost always the result of who gets included/excluded in the study. Scroll all the way down to criticisms in this link and you’ll see a reasonably good discussion of it. Basically smokers tend to be leaner and have crappy outcomes, sick people or those with pre-existing health issues tend to lose weight etc. Including “lean” people who have other risk factors is the entire effect.
For the record this same effect is present in the “is one drink a day good for you?” debate. If you include people who can’t drink because of medication or extreme illness the alcohol use looks good. Toss all the abstainers who aren’t in peak health, and alcohol use looks very bad. The results are driven entirely by the inclusion criteria.


Get this slop outta here. If you don’t know you can just not say anything.


Gently wash then oil. Not scour.

You want some fuck?


I’ve been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I’ve also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we’d be professional about it. I’ve never been let go.
Basically a still suit.
