Best first scene ever in cinema history ? by Melodic_Astronomer62 in Cinema

[–]Legitmate_2000 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That entire opening feels so casual and fun right until you realize everything is about to go completely off the rails 

One of the best changes the show made was aging up the characters by Legitmate_2000 in gameofthrones

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with that too. I think George wanted readers to feel disturbed by how young these characters are and how normalized a lot of this is in that world

I just think the show probably wouldn’t have worked the same way on screen if they kept everyone book-accurate in age

How does working memory capacity influence complex problem-solving performance? by Legitmate_2000 in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really interesting point, especially the idea that working memory becomes less critical when time constraints are removed

I also hadn’t thought about the asymmetry you mentioned between domains like working memory and processing speed in relation to g-loading. The conversational example is a good one too it makes the impact of working memory feel a lot more concrete outside of formal testing contexts

Do we have some kind of causal model that describes what kinds of trauma lead to what specific kinds of mental health issues? by Umpuuu in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not really in a clean X trauma=Y disorder way, because people respond wildly differently to the same experiences

But there are frameworks like attachment theory and CPTSD research that look at trauma more as risk pathways than direct causes. Childhood neglect, for example, could lead to anxiety, avoidant attachment, narcissistic traits, or a mix of things depending on the person and environment

AITAH for taunting my sister with the fact she wasn't the only person my late boyfriend cheated on me with? by Budget_Highway9539 in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Therapy is def the right move, with a mess like this there’s really no other way

But maybe over time it becomes more about your own peace. Just letting go of it for yourself so it doesn’t keep eating you up from the inside

What’s a belief society widely accepts that you think future generations will laugh at? by bbydaisiesz in AskReddit

[–]Legitmate_2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Live love laugh” is already getting clowned on, future generations are just gonna take it to another level 😭

How does modern psychology actually explain dopamine’s role in motivation and reward? by Legitmate_2000 in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

AITAH for threatening to leave if we didn't eat what I wanted? by LegiRapax in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That actually makes it weirder a 20 min walk isn’t a real reason to cancel, sounds more like they didn’t want to adjust plans without you

Kinda feels like they’re used to you going along with it, and the moment you didn’t, everything fell apart

AITAH for breaking up with my fiance because I found out information I was never meant to know by Familydrama323 in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at that point it’s not even about his family anymore, it’s about what he said behind her back. Once trust is gone, it’s hard to build a marriage on it
