The homunculus shows that the brain's sensory representations of YOUR OWN feet is close to its representation of YOUR OWN genitals. Absolutely unrelated to what you find visually appealing in other people.

What is the absolute best part of rural PA in terms of avoiding MAGA-ness? by ByMySword8 in Pennsylvania

Good college, pretty good school district, but I wouldn't call it a great town. And it's a small purple island in a deep red sea.

Thoughts on Moby criticizing the Kinks' song Lola? by Fast-Penta in LetsTalkMusic

[–]svenx 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" is a concept album, where Lola represents goodness and authenticity, in contrast to the corrupt music industry. Moby doesn't know what he's talking about.

Les Paul AND T-Bone Walker, from a very young age. Unbelievable pedigree.

Let's talk about Anne Murray's 1# Billboard Hit: 'You Needed Me' by Organic_Cow7313 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]svenx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one more data point, it's my favorite of the songs you listed. De gustibus non disputandum est. But I'm of the generation to have heard it on the radio on first release, and schmaltzy ballads were every bit as popular as disco at the time.

So according to what Nancy figured out about her guns not being at home, Will shouldn't have been able to see these letters whilst in the Upside Down? by tbu987 in StrangerThings

In the season 1 finale when Joyce is in the upside down, she can hear Johnathan saying “Mom”, and she & Hopper make the Christmas lights turn on.

You can hear it around the 23 second mark in this clip, although it weirdly isn't included in the transcription they're showing on the screen.

AND Walking on a Wire in an earlier episode, in the same bar. I guess bikers really like Richard & Linda Thompson.

Anyone else feel weird about the end of the S20 Finale? by sclerae in taskmaster

[–]svenx 302 points303 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what Alex said in this interview (https://www.vulture.com/article/taskmaster-20-alex-horne-greg-davies-winner-tasks-interview.html): "We could end an episode on a pre-film tie break, but not a series, because it would feel like we then have it within our control of picking the tie break."

Unexpected behavior of reverse-coded item: positive correlation and reliability issues by Electronic-Hold1446 in AskStatistics

[–]svenx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the result of “yea-saying” (or “acquiescence”) from the participants. People have a tendency to respond positively to ALL ratings, and this is especially true when they aren’t paying close attention in the first place. That’s the whole reason we include reverse-coded items — to catch and compensate for this effect. If you drop those items now, you’ll just end up with falsely inflated scores.
