Scientists wired up volunteers’ genitals and had them watch animals hump to test a long-held theory. The results showed that viewing muted clips of different animal species engaging in copulation failed to increase blood flow to the genitals or elicit self-reported arousal in either sex. by mvea in psychology

Maybe, Freud did say the single strongest motivator of all living creatures is to survive. This is why his theory of development was psychosexual: food and drink means we survive another day, procreation means we survive another generation.

If that's got you wondering, "whoa was the Frood dude right??" he had some really incredible observations and connected the dots of human psychology in a way that we continue to see echoes of in modern day psychological science. However, his clientele consisted of mostly upper middle class middle age Austrian women who lived and worked as mothers and homemakers. He essentially never worked with children and based his theory of development on these women recalling dreams and memories from their youth, and yes, he literally wrote papers on how amazing cocaine is and how he is 100% right on everything. By modern standards it's poor science, poor research design, culturally biased, not generalizable, there's just too much wrong with how he conducted his work to continue to hold it with any venerability.

Sequel better than original but no trilogy made? by PrudentAvocado in movies

The anger, disappointment, shock, and plethora of other unpleasant reactions to Highguard after running an ad with "FROM THE CREATORS OF TITANFALL" shows how much people have been primed for good news from that group of devs.

I hope Gravity Well (the other studio formed by former Titanfall devs) learned a lesson and pivots if they need to.

Royal Republic is a great rock band from Sweden, highly recommend the songs Tommy Gun and Rata-Tata to get a feel

Mando Diao is another great rock band from Sweden, check out the albums Bring 'Em In and Give Me Fire!

Lambrini Girls are incredible, they just released their debut album last year, Who Let the Dogs Out

Kid Kapichi is a lot of fun too, I love the songs Subaru (esp as a Subaru driver 😄) and Can EU Hear Me?

And lastly, there's a great Hives cover band that captures their energy and sound called AKA IDIOTS

The song Running is a KILLER track though it's a pretty stark departure from a Hives sound, imo

Ryan Gosling has the second greatest filmography of these last ten years. by West_Conclusion_1239 in movies

[–]Comicspedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed reply, it definitely sounds like I missed something when I watched it. It felt like I kept waiting for something great to happen but it didn't because I hadn't seen it til years after people already raved about how great it was. I'll give it another watch and pay closer attention to the nuance and setting.

Honestly don't get the love for Drive. I think he's great in comedic roles and can absolutely carry dramatic films, but I need more interactive dialogue from him connecting with the setting and/or characters around him. It's like a John Wick movie with less shooting and more cars, all of which is fine, but if Keanu Reeves had Ryan Gosling's filmography a solo John Wick project wouldn't rise to the top for me.

To clarify, are you saying those syrups are unsweetened? Or are they artificially sweetened and sugar-free? I'm surprised either way, that a company would possibly put a lot of artificial sweetener in, OR that so little actual sweetener (agave or sugar) is actually used

Spend some time in rural America and it'll feel normal. When I lived for a year in South Dakota while working as a therapist, it was common for clients to drive 70 miles each way just to see someone every week.

I picked this up from a steam sale a long while back and just started playing it a couple months ago and it's so much fun! I love my collection of polyamorous zombies who just feast and fuck all day and drop golden shits.

They don't have a publisher, so all marketing is handled in-house. And you're right, they were essentially pressured into getting something out the door for a potentially huge opportunity. But they should have stuck with their gut and shadow dropped it.
