It was alleged that they abused their adopted children.

Yea, couldn't be arsed looking it up for a quick comment, but I'm not terribly afraid of 'big round-corners' skewing studies.

Yes, as a means of measuring intelligence. What it was designed to do, and what it is used for in a clinical context, is to measure for impairment against your peers.

There actually is UX research behind the rounded corner phenomenon. They make people feel like the interface is easier to use, and that feeling actually leads to a feedback loop where people experience less stress, cognitive load, and genuinely have an easier time using the interface.

No prob! It is tough to know what to buy based on the brand's descriptions sometimes. Shoyeido is really bad for this; IIRC their website doesn't even tell you that three of their Horin line are agarwood based.

Pull your shirt over your head so that it covers your face and prostrate yourself.

You could always make extruded incense sticks. You can get started with the spices in your kitchen.

My partner tells me it has helped with by symptoms, but it's hard for me to tell. One thing you won't get from it that you do from stimulants is that burst of morning motivation. Constipation can be an issue for some people. I don't miss the side effects of stimulants though: easily getting stuck on the wrong thing depending on timing, the evening crash, etc.

I mean, I'm not an ML. I just happened to wind up on this instance.

Depends on the treaties in place with your government. Kim Dotcom isn't American either.

A great point. That's exactly the problem the libertarian socialists have been trying to solve for 100 years, and they have actually recorded some pretty intelligent thoughts on the matter in that time.

I get so frustrated with the "communism is unequivocally bad because my oligopolistic government told me so since childhood and I've never actually looked into it" crowd. Not because of their beliefs, but because they're grounded in nothing of substance. And any attempt at all to say "well have you actually thought about this, because there's nuance" is met with foaming mouths and flying spittle.

(Prefacing this with a disclaimer, because reading comprehension is in the toilet these days, that in the following paragraph I am addressing a hypothetical "you" and I am not actually asking anyone these questions)

Like, communism bad? Sure, maybe. Let's talk about it. Okay, which communist ideology are you talking about? And are you talking about the ideology itself, or the specific ways in which various projects have attempted to implement it? Do those implementation attempts align with the ideology? Why or why not? And are you aware of the critiques of that ideology and / or approach by other communists, or are you just parroting what you've heard from other people who also have not read a book on the topic?

I genuinely do not not have it in me to care what people believe, but seeing people react like agitated weasels—screaming, crying, and flailing when something they in no way understand is raised in conversation just makes me despair for the species, and wonder whether people actually put any thought into their positions at all!
