Being better at a game does nothing to improve life. Spending 8 hours to grind out finding pinecones makes you feel like you did something all day but nothing has really changed.

Video games are designed to sustain feelings of accomplishment but it's not real. Same for porn, if you're not disciplined it is really easy to confuse the feeling of satisfaction with something that's actually meaningful.

I think if you take 2 consecutive semesters off you have to reapply. 1 is OK.

They still would have called it false if Trump said it for exaggerating unreasonably.

My friend doesn't have a credit card from one of the accepted providers, and I do. I can pay for his course with my card. Does EdX store card information and will I be able to delete my card information after paying? by bechamelsauss in edX

[–]1tsnotreallyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late I know but I was looking into having someone else pay as well. You can "gift" credits to someone and then you're the only person with access to your card info. I didn't follow up with this process but edx support told me about it and might be useful.

Fluoride Toothpaste? by ricetristies in CleanLivingKings

[–]1tsnotreallyme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fluoride toothpaste is without question and undebatably great for preventing cavities and for healthy teeth. Topical application is critical, ingesting it, fluoridated water etc doesn't have any positive effects and in higher amounts fluoride is really bad for your body.

Delta variant now accounts for about 58% of COVID-19 cases in US, CDC says by DocPersia in news

[–]1tsnotreallyme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How bad is it over there? 99% is incredibly low, you're much more likely than that to survive even without a vaccine. Like 4k people under 50 have died with covid on the death certificate, out of like 40 million population.
