QuoteMore adversity growing up was linked to more anxiety, depression, and loneliness as adults, and those symptoms were tied to weaker versions of the everyday habits that keep a relationship steady.

QuoteBeing in the early stages of romantic love tends to coincide with higher sexual frequency among couples, but the intensity of that love does not seem to matter as much as simply being in love.

QuoteLisa Vidrios ended up resigning from the Metro Nashville Police Department after admitting to hooking up with another officer at least four times inside Madison Middle School while serving as a school resource officer in May 2025, according to an Office of Professional Accountability report.

An internal probe had been kicked off earlier that month when her fed-up husband, Angel Vidrios — who is also a police officer with the MNPD — filed the OPA complaint, alleging he had discovered explicit videos, text messages and location logs proving the mother of three's affair with MNPD Sgt. Stephen Holland, according to Fox 17 and WKRN News 2.

QuoteScientists explore these mechanisms to understand exactly how psychedelics disrupt rigid mental habits. The entropic brain hypothesis serves as a guiding concept in much of this work. In physics, entropy refers to a state of randomness and disorder. In neuroscience, higher entropy means the brain enters a less predictable, more dynamic state of operation. By increasing brain entropy, psychedelics might dissolve entrenched neural patterns, offering temporary flexibility that helps patients build healthier mental habits.

QuoteThe second law says that the total entropy of an isolated system generally increases over time. Entropy is often described as a measure of disorder, although it more precisely reflects how energy and information can be distributed within a system.

That principle creates a major challenge for cosmology. Scientists generally think the early Universe began in a state of low entropy and has steadily moved toward higher entropy. At the same time, matter has organized itself into increasingly elaborate structures, from galaxies and stars to planets and living organisms.

The idea that gravity and thermodynamics are deeply linked dates back to the pioneering work of Jacob Bekenstein and Stephen Hawking in the 1970s.

Their discoveries showed that black holes have entropy and can emit thermal radiation. These findings transformed the scientific understanding of black holes and pointed to a much deeper connection among spacetime, information, gravity, and heat.

QuoteWhen one partner in a marriage hides money matters and the other is honest, this mismatch predicts lower relationship satisfaction and less financial success for the couple.

QuoteProtecting cave species means protecting more than the cave opening itself.

"When we think about conserving a species like this, it is not enough to protect the cave," Armbruster said. "We have to protect the land around it, because that land is the recharge basin for the cave and the aquifer."

In this case, the fish may have benefited from an unlikely form of protection. Bobcat Cave sits on Redstone Arsenal, a federal installation that has limited development in parts of the landscape even as Huntsville has grown around it.

Funny how basically everything that gets outside of the narrative finds itself censored in our "free" society.

Quote from: Flying Kites on Jul 19, 2026, 06:57 PMThat is fairly essential but it is also wise to KISS - keep it simple, baka! Unfortunately I create my greatest difficulties, in a pretentious city that has lost sight of anything worthwhile to spend money on while the silent majority keep everything functional while preferring to keep out of sight and their irons zeroed, I've taken pleasure in writing signs and showing up to crash the stupid parties, and without having to resort to cutting faces for moron party masks to wear yet I still have two or three misdemeanors on technicality of property rights. I realize I have to put some work in. Weekly Saturdays on downtown corners, the courthouse, university, the Povorello (a wop institution). Brett, does CORRUPT/ANUS still maintain flyers? I have to KISS my signs, I try to cram too much aspie logic in too small a space. I'm settling on an idea: REMIGRATION PRESERVES THIS NATION FOR NORDIC-GERMANICS / SUPPORT YOUR PAN-NATIONALISTS / VISIT AMERIKA.org & CORRUPT.org

Ride the tiger! : )

Quote from: prime on Jul 15, 2026, 08:00 PMWhen you encounter Crowdist insanity, the only goal should be defeating it unless it is totally irrelevant.

If people are casually talking, I suggest go for the FUD attack (fear, uncertainty, demoralization): subvert it by finding reasons not to believe in it.

When people talk about their favorite political programs, I am fond of saying oh that sounds nice, but you know the money is going to go to cronies and government will screw it up.

Default to a practical libertarianism: it would be nice to solve all of the world's problems, but we cannot, so we should just work with what actually makes people prosperous.
