Mickey Mouse is massive. Mickey has been the face of Disney and is sold on and in many products each year. Kids know who he is and adults know who he is. He does seem antiquated now, especially to older adults but I don't see them gett

Could this be related at all to Generic Objects of Dark Energy (GEODEs)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_object_of_dark_energy

Someone will just fill the void left by this vendor and no harm will be removed. It wont be a net positive at all. In the end, all there will be is another person ruined. I don't think it's right to punish a pub for all problems c

Oh wow, that's my local area and I had never heard of this. Thanks for posting. Makes you wonder what happens that doesn't get discovered.

For sure, I have experienced similar feelings. Good to know it's not just me. It's kind of like a derealization caused by the thought of how absurd or odd it is that we exist at all.

When I was trying to replace or return my 1 year and 2 week old Macbook Pro to Apple due to what turned out to be a faulty logic board, Apple said it was too late as their 1 year warranty had passed. But here in Australia we cannot just sig

Thanks for the info mbo, I'll look into Dexamethasone. I currently use Modafinil to help manage my excessive sleepiness and it's been really helpful. Doesn't 'fix' it, but definitely helps.

Interesting, I think there's more to this than people know, but most doctors I've spoken to don't even know about DSP let alone the seemingly obscure idea that it could be caused by EBV. It's hard, because I really think

I had a similar experience with EBV. Although I also think it caused a sleeping disorder as well (Delayed Sleep Phase). Any doctor I've mentioned this to has shrugged it off, I guess there's not much you can do even if they could

It was published in Feburary 2014. I'm not intentionally trying to sound hyperbolic. Are you? They are literally classified as invasive procedures. It is by definition unnecessary. There are going to be false-positives in these screeni

22% unnecessary surgeries following mammograms[1] is not just 'getting scared' these are invasive surgeries with real risks. Are you strawmanning my point or just being hyperbolic? Again, I ask, hoping for a less flippant answer;

by Sevrene 6y ago
Sometimes being too cautious can cause harm too. It's not so clear cut as you might think. For instance, pushing mammograms earlier in life causes over diagnosis (around 20% in one study), leading to invasive surgeries that were not ac

While I can agree that people do tend to think that good equates to rich, I don't think being able to make money makes you somehow intellectual or great. Sure, people conflate these things in general but that doesn't make it the f

People have implicit or explicit reactions to things. Not trying to down play your experience here (your experience is still valid), but they probably are not intentionally thinking or making a face. It's probably because this is new t

I honestly have no idea! Can you link to his analysis, I haven't seen it. Regardless, I'm no expert on this matter, and it would be nice if people stated this more often than defer to which ever thing they heard as being correct,

I think you're right that people often over estimate the suddeness of climate change, when in actual fact it is a slow process over a long period of time, so change will come slowly not like a big disaster that people might have in the

I've noticed a trend in the discussion of Covid-19 when talking to people. They tend to either under estimate it; "it's just the flu", or they over estimate it; "This is going to be really bad, time to buy all toile

The worst possible outcome as far as humans are concerned is an economical disaster which would lead to people with out money, food, or water. People die with out those, so it's likely they would be willing to fight to death for them.

Not quite truth serum, but if you feel more comfortable with someone, you are more like to be more open to them. If you've watched some police interrogations you might see that one of the things they try and do is build rapport with th

Sorry for the late reply. I think you're probably right about it being in a bubble, but I'm not sure we'll see it having a large crash that we typically associate with bubbles (some people would even say there is no bubble, i

When engaging with hypotheticals we tend to want to ascertain whether it's inherently good or bad. For instance, imagine a hypothetical about whether or not it's safe to shoot someone in the chest, we wouldn't say it's

For sure, you might very well be right. Atleast I would hope so, or else it would probably be immoral, which is really what I was attempting to say.

It's probably the strongest part about the movie — it deals with perspective of immortality from a mortal's perspective in a very realistic way, which is normally thrown by the wayside for more simplier tropes in entertainment. No

I really want what you have said to be true, but I think there are upper limits we can reach that prevent us from really ever being the arbiters of our own death. That which allows us to become living, must also force us to become nothing,

There's probably a reason they have to tout that, right. I think one of the most reliable lines I've encountered like that is "I don't like drama". People who say that tend to always be involved in drama, which is w

This is just a natural outcome of the way venture capital funding works at the moment. When you care more about speculation than what's actually fundamentally occuring, you're going to get businesses funded that are not even able

Here in Australia it's not illegal for life insurance, but they've just brought in a morutorium before deciding if they're going to keep allowing it to be legal, so that could change.

You can't get scientific progress from philosophy? Wait until you try justify your belief of knowledge without philosophy. The fact is philosophy underpins much of science. You can't just 'move on' from that when it lite
