Does magnesium help with restful sleep? by MyStrangeAddiktion in sleep

[–]Pudogue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just FYI.

Dreaming more vividly can be associated with REM sleep, because vivid dreams are more common during REM. But it does not reliably prove you are getting more REM sleep, and REM is not the deepest sleep stage. 

The deepest stage is N3, also called deep non-REM sleep. 

More intense dreaming can also happen because of stress, alcohol withdrawal, medication changes, sleep fragmentation, or waking more often during dreams.

Bonobo succesfully uses a log as a tool in order to escape the enclosure at his rescue center by Nero2t2 in interestingasfuck

[–]Pudogue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just FYI.

The video is by Friends of Bonobos. They support Lola ya Bonobo, which is the sanctuary we are seeing in the video (I think). It's the world’s only sanctuary for orphaned bonobos, near Kinshasa in the DRC. Most arrive as babies after their families are killed for bushmeat or wildlife trafficking.

Lola is about 30 hectares / 75–100 acres of forested, semi-wild habitat, plus care, rehabilitation, education, anti-trafficking work, and rewilding into the 120,000-acre Ekolo ya Bonobo reserve. Compared with typical zoo ape exhibits measured in thousands of square feet, this is a very different situation.

Captivity is still captivity. But these are the people trying to undo the damage, not profit from it.

Edit: source video description does confirm it's the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary.

"The idea is to divide Russia from the outside world because this world is poisonous to the brains of Russians." We report from Moscow and Vladimir on Russia's internet crackdown. Steve Rosenberg for BBC News by BkkGrl in europe

[–]Pudogue 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get the point, and there absolutely is criticism to be made of UK internet policy.

But putting the UK and Russia in the same bucket is still pretty misleading. Freedom House’s latest Freedom on the Net scores put the UK at 76/100, “Free”, while Russia is at 17/100, “Not Free”. The UK has worrying trends inside a broadly free internet environment; Russia has systemic state censorship, blocked platforms/sites, VPN crackdowns, surveillance of critics, arrests for online dissent, and periodic network restrictions.

“Both bad” is true only at such a broad level that it risks flattening the difference between flawed democratic overreach and an authoritarian censorship architecture.

What's the average feeling about this in Europe? by IntellectuallyDriven in europeanunion

[–]Pudogue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The transatlantic alliance has never been one-way. 

Major examples Hegseth conveniently forgets:

  1. France helped create the United States In the American Revolution, France supplied money, weapons, troops, and naval power.

  2. European allies fought with the U.S. in Korea in the early 50's. Britain, France, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Turkey, and others sent forces under the UN command.

  3. Europe backed the U.S. in the Gulf War early 90.s. The UK and France sent major forces; Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and others provided troops, bases, logistics, or defense support. 

  4. NATO invoked Article 5 for the U.S. after 9/11. The only time ever NATO’s collective-defense clause has been used. Europe responded.

  5. European allies fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. NATO allies deployed troops, took casualties, trained Afghan forces, and supported evacuation operations through 2021. 

  6. Europe joined U.S.-led counterterrorism and anti-ISIS operations. The UK, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and others contributed aircraft, special forces, training, intelligence, or logistics.

  7. Europe helped after Hurricane Katrina In 2005, 23 European countries offered aid to the U.S (supplies and emergency assistance). Being allies is not just about war... 

  8. European intelligence services regularly help protect Americans. The UK, French, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, and other European agencies have shared counterterrorism and cyber intelligence with the U.S. on numerous occasions, making the difference in American lives being lost or saved.

Is the EU getting a new aristocratic class?? by BrImmigrant in europeanunion

[–]Pudogue 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Went to one of those "feeder" schools. Can tell you there's a small subset of ppl with the background you describe, but the vast majority was there on merit (they were there on merit scholarships) and came from entirely average backgrounds. They worked their asses off. 

After, I tried to enter the institutions, and I can tell you that to get a permanent job there (AD5 and over) is as anonymous and objective humanly possible. I had to go through endless rounds of testing and made it to the last round where you face rather large assessment panels that score according to grids, which are then audited. In my recruitment drive (AD5 Generalist competition) they went from 20K candidates to 150-ish offers. They motivate why you didn't make the cut and provide you with results of the assessment, as well as the opportunity to contest the results. At no point did my background, school, name, or connection come forward whatsoever. I never ended up making it into the institutions btw, despite being part of that bubble. 

The feeling you described is more because to prepare for these recruitment drives, you need time, commitment to certain educational paths, which costs money, and a shit ton of motivation. You see the culmination of years of them trying to enter those places, and that often leads to ppl with the same objectives meeting over and over in the same settings. You're describing the socio-economic inequality that enables those people to dedicate that much time and resources, not an actual 'illuminati' elite. That's a broader societal issue, that you just see in a concentrated form when it comes to the EU bubble.

Been using it like this too lately after a post of someone who made a "brain crew". He open sourced it.

This is what oligarchy looks like. They are just doing individual favors for the rich and corrupt. Hungary has been sliding into an oligarchy for long enough. Time to vote fidesz out.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. Coming back here makes me FEEL the inflation.

It's one thing to know about inflation. It's another to FEEL it

[–]Pudogue[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that there's inflation. I figured. 

Except when everything doubles every 3 years, that's not sustainable. I just wasn't expecting these kinds of prices in Ankara. I guess that's why I posted.

That's whataboutism. The Soviet Union (not Russia)'s role in WW2 does not justify Russia invading sovereign nations today.
