I think Freud's theories have all been pretty much considered 'surpassed' in academic psychology. I don't think they're considered valid anymore, outside of popular culture.

I think what parent means is that /astrology/, per se, is mostly consumed by women, whereas Jung's work, which can be viewed as similarly unscientific, is quite widely read by males, when compared with astrology texts.

99.5% of the time I only call my wife, my parents, my sisters, and my four best friends. That's 9 people. With my so much missed flip-phone I could do this, check it out: Walk around the city with phone in pocket. Need to call one of t

How are public schools compared to private? Does the quality of public schools vary a lot depending on which neighborhood they're located, like in the US, or are they mostly on the same level throughout a city/state?

Thank you for the help. I might be able to earn around 3000 euros (after taxes), would live in a smaller city, maybe close to Porto but wouldn't need to live in Porto itself, and not a lavish lifestyle by any means, just a comfortable

Sorry to ask, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but do you live there by yourself or do you have a family? I have a wife and two kids, and I'm trying to figure out how much does it cost to live in Portugal, p

I'd say over 90% of people who bought cryptocurrencies have at best a half-baked understanding of the technology behind it. OTOH, you could have no understanding of the tech inside microcomputers in the late 70's and still think i

I first read Borges on a Science Fiction anthology. Can't remember the name of the short story now. It was three words from an alien language, I think...

Yeah, imagine after this incident nominating this guy as the National Security Advisor or something similar? Yikes.

I live in Brazil, and here we often think that this kind of stuff doesn't happen in Europe, or is very, very rare. Reading the comments here about Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, I'm reminded that it isn't so.

I wish I didn't have to work 40 hours a week. Can I just go to some random plot of arable land that isn't cultivated and start farming? Can I just process it any way I want? US, circa 2021.

If Google had existed in 1847, and the web for that matter, he would have been able to create and post as many videos espousing his theories on the web. Either through alternative sites, either by setting up 20 sites of his own for pretty m

Let's say someone starts a video site where users post vegan recipes. It's a vegan video site. People create an account and can post what they want. Some users post barbecue videos, video on how to skin game, and the site owners r

Yes, I'd be okay, and I would stop using them, as I have done with FB, and start looking elsewhere. Like I said before, I don't agree with Youtube taking anti-vaxx videos down, but I do think they, as a private company, should be

This is semantics. In this case HN is censoring opinions right now through its moderation. Every forum on the internet censors. Your spam filter blocks others speech from reaching you etc.

Then pro-vaccine people everywhere could start using google less and start talking about how Google has harmful/unscientific stances toward content, etc.

But no one is saying these contents should be banned. You can publish it, everywhere! Create a hundred sites and post it, feel free! Now, if I don't want it on my site, why can't I take it down? You're saying that if I create

I'm not for Youtube taking the videos down, I just don't think a private company taking a video down from their site is censorship. And my take is, if Youtube starts limiting content too much, it will end up losing viewership, whi

Ha, this is some funny shit, as your tone is from someone who would censor the crap out of dissenting voices if you were in power.

by EL_Loco 5y ago
Oh, I agree that it is a bad idea to do it. I just don't think a private company not putting a video on their site is what censorship is. I wish Youtube would not take those videos down, as they're not illegal. Anti-vaxxers will d

So if you have a video site like Youtube, you can take down whatever content you like, and that's cool. However, if you become very successful, and attract many viewers, than it's no longer like that. Now you can choose what you l

Why does Youtube being a platform means they have to post everything ? Are the anti-vaccine video sites forced to post pro-vaccine videos?
