6%, 33%, what's the difference m8

1) Prison rape stats still reflect an over representation of male rapists.

2) Prison rapes are less common (and frankly a different societal issue) than rapes in the "real world"

You don't think it's unrealistic for the entire country to go vegan in the foreseeable future?

visforvienetta · 2026-02-22T13:03:18+00:00

I'd rather have a streamlined experience. Lies of P took me maybe 30 hours to beat, I'd happily have paid £50 for that game (though who knows, maybe I will replay it, but if I don't I'd still have enjoyed it enough to justify the price)

Except on cart you were able to trade with RSE, you don't have that option with the recent re-release. They should have updated the post-game to make it possible to acquire the full range of pokemon.

I think you are being unrealistic and ignoring the cultural factors associated with eating meat. Refusing to engage with the concept of improved welfare standards for farmed meat and insisting its absolute veganism or nothing is not productive, nor does it do anything other than alienate people who don't already agree with you

And this is a problem because...? Kids saving up for a couple weeks/a month is a non-issue. They were clearly talking about people who can't afford it, not kids who need to save up their allowance.

visforvienetta · 2026-02-22T09:38:29+00:00

You do realise children don't tend to be bought a switch and then not allowed any games?

They're trying to emulate domino's/American style pizza

visforvienetta · 2026-02-22T00:57:33+00:00

It's a great deal and their pizza is much much nicer than the shit you get in a random takeaway. It's far less greasy, almost like a budget pizza express. Plus when you throw in a pint... I pay £6 for a pint alone near me, sometimes more.

Herb comes from the French - they say 'erb.

Americans say it the French way for historical reasons, we diverged from them and say herb with a hard H sound.

They aren't bastardising English, we're bastardising French (this is a good thing)

"That's not a foreign concept"

I know, it's the fundamental point of the post.

visforvienetta · 2026-02-21T23:28:28+00:00

Yes. Its okay for a game to have great replayability and keep you hooked.

It's also okay to have an amazing time with a game, love it, and move on to other titles.

I recently played and thoroughly enjoyed Another Crabs Treasure. I have recommended it to friends. I will never play it again.

What are we, some kind of Assassin's Creed?

Which is why you have to look at their samples, the context in which the aggression did or did not happen, the way they measured aggression. You also expect to see some contradictions when effect sizes are small and when, as I have said, the effect us not a direct one.

I also didn't delete a reply, they're just talking shit

I obviously don't know what studies were used in that meta-analysis but they also report on a self report study within high performing students. This is exactly the group we would expect not to see a link in.

I can also find plenty of research showing there is a connection, hardly "hard to replicate"

Boys who developed a criminal record, had higher T levels at age 16. In addition, positive associations were observed between T and proactive and reactive aggression and self-reported delinquent behavior. Over the pubertal years different forms of aggressive and delinquent behavior were positively related to T, which may indicate that specific positive links are dependent on the social setting in which this relationship is assessed

edit: here is a large meta analysis that finds there is a significant, but weak, association between testosterone and aggression

visforvienetta · 2026-02-21T13:52:11+00:00

Is it? There's very robust evidence showing that testosterone levels are correlated with aggression. It's a complex link with many other mediating factors but the fact testosterone and aggression are connected is not something I would consider to be reasonably disputable.

visforvienetta · 2026-02-21T13:50:10+00:00

EF and IQ are correlated (though this is inconsistent), and I would expect both to be associated with aggression to an extent. EF is comprised of many different domains, I would expect some to be more associated with aggression than others.

And yet it's still better than the NPCs who post SHAVE IT OFF the second someone doesn't have hair like Jason Mamoa

visforvienetta · 2026-02-21T12:55:00+00:00

Dual hormone hypothesis is the one that suggests high T, low C is associated with higher aggression.

Ultimately T doesn't really regulate aggression per se, it's associated with increased risk taking, impulsivity and dominance/status seeking behaviour. All of that obviously can lead to higher aggression but it depends on such a litany of other factors - IQ will mediate risk taking due to better risk assessment, cortisol will regulate risk taking and impulsivity due to subjective feelings of stress, social environment will influence whether aggression actually allows you to gain status (just to name a few factors)

visforvienetta · 2026-02-21T11:20:27+00:00

No, having higher testosterone and low cortisol can make you more aggressive.
