This comes off as venting/entitlement. I feel like I'm increasingly seeing these articles from high income families that are now frustrated that the things they took for granted (day care, schools, etc) now are more limited. There

This is amazing. I would have loved to get a religious exception for PE due to the "ball games" thing!

Curious why this is making the news now. I noticed trehalose as an ingredient on something and looked it up and saw the association then. I think the data was trending there even before this 2018 study. That being said I'm vegan and ha

I do agree with the scientific criticism towards MBTI. But I never claimed to be using it that way. It's possible to find value for yourself or use in things personally that aren't rooted in scientific trials or rigor and it'

Something doesn't have to have scientific validity to be helpful. I don't agree with MBTI trying to make claims in the way that Big 5 does because it's rooted in more rigorous research. But it's also wrong to throw out m

I guess that's why I found it because I'm autistic and I don't agree with that conclusion, especially if someone has a science blog that's citing studies. There's a way to point out typos that's not rude or pet

Wow, great to see this site on there. When I was a teenager the Language Construction Toolkit is what got me into Linguistics and completing a degree in it: https://www.zompist.com/lckbook.html When I say I have a degree in

Thanks for that, I was going to post it but saw you posted it already. I was on a science related blog recently and I saw someone misspelled an acronym so I emailed the author. In a huge plot twist the blog author let me know these were in

It's a tough issue, for sure, because the playing field is just so unequal. To even be able to approach these issues in a more equal way you'd probably have to start a lawsuit and go through a process of discovery because the corp

Russell was an interesting character and I hadn't heard of this particular work by him. It's important to understand that Russell was also limited by his own particular personality and world view. He was a good example of an ENTP

While I agree with the general sentiment when it comes to individual interactions, I think it's kind of naive to put this much trust into corporations in a capitalist system. Should we have been curious about the development of MCAS at

We need more stuff like this! Daylio is another good one that is local only with an option to back up to your Google account.

> If we can find better, please please please keep researching. Agreed. The current push and research around ketamine/psilocybin is promising but can't come fast enough. Other than the ketamine spray which is still very hard to

I'm not saying it's not a huge deal. I wouldn't consider your relative necessarily treatment resistant. I'm talking about those of us who have been left behind. In my case, that's 15+ plus of over 30 medication tria

SSRIs are awful. I still have doctors trying to throw them at me after 15+ years of treatment resistant depression. It's honestly delusional. MAOIs actually have less drug/drug interactions and less systemic reactions if used resp

I think you missed the point of my comment and fair enough because I was ranting :) TMS is a GREAT technology. More people should use it, and it should be considered first line treatment over meds. These machines should be in inpatient psyc

Why is the media doing this with old depression treatments that have been around for ages? First it was the deep brain stimulation article, now this? rTMS technology has been around since 2008. The picture they are using is the same magneti

While this is exciting work, I'm really terrified that the efficacy of this treatment will cause doctors to jump on this modality for a number of disorders it's not really suited for, as what is happening with CBT. There are a num

Absolutely. Thanks for this. It's telling to me how dismissive/judgemental are about nihilism, and that's been a good signal for me in other areas that it's getting a lot closer to a basic truth and people are threatened

I don't prefer depressive states but I feel like a lot of anhedonic states border on disassociation for me and I'm praised for it. I'm in a state right now like the article author in that I'm doing all these good habits.

I've made peace with it but human language is very odd. I still use terms such as "like/love" "miss you" "looking forward to" but I'm cut off from the emotions behind it. Most people I know well
