So I have no idea what the current state of the research on this is, or how depression manifests in contemporary (culturally Westernised) China, but historically there was quite a bit of research indicating it was more somaticised. People s

"It's clear a history of trauma of various sorts increases the risks of developing mental illness, but nobody can say with much certainty if there are genetic predispositions or not." This isn't accurate. As far back as

I think 12 year olds are incredibly capable and curious. I also know that the only thing preventing them from being exploited in the labour market like adults are the scant legal protects that exist to prevent them from being treated as adu

Please read the original article. You're comparing voluntarily part time work to save for a luxury, to being compelled to work - i.e.: having an adult job, and a deeply unpleasant and dangerous one at that.

Lots of people in the comments are wilfully eliding the distinction between their fond memories of working for a few hours to save for candy and videogames, and the child exploitation being described in the article.

I think you need to read the article. You're comparing some hours helping with an adult activity with full time employment as a child, in dangerous conditions as vulnerable survival work.

Hobby work for luxuries isn't comparable to full time work for survival. Did you read the article? Did you "wake up at 4AM?" to pick strawberries? Did you work "a full adult schedule"? Were you working in 90 degree

12 year olds are generally prepubescent children. This isn't like a sixteen year old working to save for a car, or even a fourteen year old gaining a little independence and exercise working a few hours after school. This is child labo

English, Berlins a terrible place to learn German! Huge proportion of the central 'ring' population is non-native and only have mediocre or non-existent German.

That's heartbreaking. I volunteered at a place in Templebar called Exchange Dublin from 2010 - 2013, forcibly closed by the council on spurious grounds (along with dozens of other spaces) in 2014. We hosted literally thousands of DIY g

'Athleisure', or at least wearing a tracksuit or tracksuit mixed with jeans as a daily driver has been popular since the early 90s. It was popularised by the British rave scene in the late 80! The primary difference now is its pa

Completely agree with this take. Promotion is orthagonal to creation, both as a talent and an activity.

Re: publishing, sure you can self publish. But your job at that point is no longer as a writer. Your job is now marketing. The potential for people to see your work is directly related to your ability to sell it and arguably not at all rela

I don't think this is correct at all. 'Retro' of one kind or another has been the primary focus of mainstream fashion as far back as the 70s. Since the early 2000s retro become so ubiquitous that it's essentially invisib

The culture is here, it's just not evenly distributed. My own view as a writer and artist, is that there's a relatively consistent amount of creative innovation being done at any given time. It's access to it and promotion of

There's something more nuanced going on here. Depictions of sex and romance have essentially disappeared from American mainstream cinema as it has become dominated by franchise films. While prestige television is frequently more sophis

One reason, which I don't see mentioned a whole lot, is that far fewer places offer a real RSS feed (complete with the article / post in question) than once did. If they offer an RSS feed at all. I looked at aggregation options fo

Interesting, why do you think that is? As a straight guy, facial appearance would be extraordinarily important for me - even for a hookup. Is it not as much of a priority, or are people still closeted / afraid of being catfished?

For sure, and I'm pretty certain I also tweaked the hell out of 3dfx tools too.

Small anecdote. I have a gay friend who lives in Maynooth (where the seminary in the article exists, alongside a regular university). Right after moving there a few years back he noted, not without some amusement, that few of the hundreds o

Roko's basilisk makes no sense. Sans magic physics time travel - there's no motivation. One thing all A.I. is, no matter how nefarious, is goal directed. It might have poorly aligned goals, absurd goals, dangerous goals, goals it

That's hilarious. I have exactly the same printer. It's recently survived moving between countries not particularly carefully packed, twice. Working like a champ. I've had months where it's printed thousands of pages (ra

Just a suggestion - but it's probably worth looking more deeply into existing epistemology and cognitive science before coining / popularising terms in this way. There's a whole lexicon and deep, decades rich bed of research

Actually really like Rewe! Was a complement comparing it to Tesco. Their sausage and cheese selections, and various unhealthy pre-cooked frozen treats are fantastic.

I owned a Voodoo 3, while all my friends had TNT2's. My experience was the opposite. Not sure if it was the handling of anisotropic filtering, or some kind of texture filtering - but my Voodoo 3 was notably sharper on all the games of

It's equivalent to 'bum wines' in the US. Huge market would be teenagers and problem drinkers. They absolutely drink it in a single serving, it's an incredibly cost effective, high sugar way to get out of your mind. We c
