Depression is also only one dimension of unhappiness. You might lose your wife and kids, but not be clinically depressed. Poor, uneducated people are also less likely to seek help, though that may be accounted for in the studies you are ref

I totally agree with that. People would be well-served to deal with their inner emotional world directly instead of pushing it away. At the same time, they do have a lot of inner tormoil even though they have next to no responsibilities or

I disagree, they are just not necessarily associated. Less intelligent people have problems too. Children constantly throw tantrums, for instance. I do agree that overthinking and the high neuroticism that usually comes with intelligence wi

I've had some spectacular Golden Delicious apples. I hypothesize that these otherwise mealy apples in the right condition have a soft pearish texture rather than a crisp cucumber-like one, but it is a fragile structure that degrades mo

I have a partial solution in TamperMonkey here: https://gist.github.com/derac/887efd8891caa026322b7624954893... I wrote it over my lunch break quickly, it only closes the menu the first time. I was trying to add the fu

It's from the infowars store, they produce the products. No clue what the figure actually is, but he does have a ton of money.

This seems to be related to both gender roles and class. The culture around the male role in a diadic relationship is classist. I wouldn't use the term toxic femininity, but I think in spirit it has some merit. The complaining about wh

The lottery isn't comparable, first of all it's a money raising scheme. I'm sure the alphafold team is well compensated. Almost certainly making high 6 figures. Alphafold got a massive amount of well-deserved coverage as well

I didn't say it was not ok to respond. Calling people crazy is the weird part. You did handwave that, we can agree to disagree. I didn't even say you are or aren't doing anything nefarious. I pointed out a conflict of interes

Fwiw, I don't think you're a bad person. I think you have a conflict of interest and they way you are responding to criticism is weird. You also handwaved the copper migration issue. Meh. Carry on. Personally, I took that as you c
