just sitting in front of your phone
Yes, am “sitting in fron of my phone.”
On a scale of 1-10, how annoyed are you that you can’t address the science I linked?

It’s that very dismissive attitude of yours

“Ok, boomer”
Oh, does science annoy you?
Something like 30% of the population has ADHD, for example.
No, they don’t.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by…
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41572-024-00495-0
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) affect around 15% of children and adolescents globally
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8985496/
So all NDD’s — including ADHD — affect around ~15% of the population, but you’re claiming ADHD alone affects ~30% of the population?
^ps ^I’ve ^an ^excellent ^therapist
8·2 days agoWait you mean that in capitalism, the people with a lot of capital have it easier?
Almost as if the more of it you have, the easier it is to make more of it, but if you have none, then you’re shit out of luck and have to agree to be someone’s slave.
Also avoids drinking. Maybe he just can’t control teh gay if he takes a few.
4·11 days agoI mean, it’s not necessary, but neither are HD resolutions or high framerates.
It has seemed every beautiful in some things.
It’s not necessary, but like, lots of things aren’t. The tech in itself isn’t horrible, it’s just horrible usecases which make it bad. Even if most usecases are horrible. Some aren’t.
Edit for instance we have much the same power computers with my brother, aside from me having an outdated GPU. Last year when we played HP Legacy for a bit, I would say that his was far prettier when utilising Ray tracing, and the whole game is a sort of feast of aesthetics, so. Although his rig wasn’t potent enough to have great framerates, so playing was still better for him as well without Ray tracing. But the scenery without much action still had good framerares so we saw rhe difference. Idk perhaps it will never be good but
The point I’m making is that I believe that people who have mac skills will need to also learn Windows skills just because it’s so much more commonplace.
Just like lefties can be more empathetic on scale, because they have to face the disappointment of things not being designed for them (us, but I’m more mixed-handed than pure lefty).
It’s not about the orientation of the hand, but the phenomena surrounding having to orient your hand / use a certain hand in a certain way.
Just like I don’t believe that Mac as an OS is inherently changing the kids significantly.
Please do apply adequate scientific rigor here!
And to be fair, I don’t really know anyone who’s only ever used a mac for those exact reasons. We had a few kids in graphic design school be like “well I mostly use Mac as my personal computer is a mac”, so they weren’t as used to using Windows, since they hadn’t done it since school.
Like if you compared the linguistic capacity of people in the US, I’m pretty sure that no matter what you choose as the primary language, those kids will still know English (as we’re talking about USA here), and if they know English, then they’re at least bilingual, which has a lot of cognitive benefits. But you wouldn’t be saying that specifically speaking some specific other language makes the kids smarter.
Some languages might give certain advantages, like say some aboriginal language which doesn’t have left/right but always uses cardinal directions. Due to them doing that it’s insanely hard to confuse their inner sense of direction, even if you chuck them if a van and drive them around blindfolded.
So I’m not saying using Macs can’t have some such small specific advantage, but I doubt it, and think it’s just general adaptation skills, which do correlate with positive cognitive development.
12·12 days ago“Well the metric version is”
Oh, so you’re just reconfirming you don’t speak English. Ok. Best of luck, we can try again in a few years. I can link you some Simple English channels if you’d like?
And you’re wrong.
Just because some niche unit uses metric prefixes doesn’t mean that that unit is “in the metric system” as language is used.
Learn to use language pls.
Weird how when you open that “metric system” link your pedantry is nowhere to be seen, almost as if by and large “metric” refers to the SI-system, isn’t it? Oh I’m sorry, you can’t answer that with “yes”, because it would mean that you stop pretending like you don’t know what I mean, which you simply can’t do.
Lol, you’re the one who’s arguing youre right, despite me clearly stressing that I know that if we’re superanal pedants you could technically make the argument that “metric system” can also refer to non-SI units which use decimal prefixes.
That a lone doesn’t mean you we’re right. See that “metric system” link there? Give it a click, would you, and then rethink on who’s being pedantic.
You haven’t told me anything interesting. I’m well aware of things like the attempt of France to change the time to powers a decimal system as well. They didn’t. Time is still in SI-units and that system is colloquially known as THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Like I said, you’re not exactly wrong, per se. (But you definitely are now, being such an annoying pedant while ignoring the very simple points I made.)
So you’re just gonna ignore everything that’s not inline with what you’re saying? Yawn. Perhaps try rereading my comments.
Automakers using a unit doesn’t make it metric.
Colloquially “metric” means the SI-system though. It’s not all prescriptively correct terms. Hell, even the name isn’t, as the French and English couldn’t
So I’m not goanna say your wrong per se. But you’re not exactly right either
What are you on about? The metric unit for power is the Watt
I’ve heard the argument several times, yeah.
I still wouldn’t eat teflon and have slowly changed to mostly stainless steel, which is superior in cooking if you know how to use it. Gonna get myself some cast iron as well but I’d like a larger kitchen to properly start kitting out. What I want in the end is silver cookware.
The point is, your “facts” are probably more correct than science in the 50’s, but the fact is those “facts” are still essentially company propaganda to make people not panic over having eaten off of neurotoxins for 50 years.
Or like, are you so naive you don’t understand companies like DuPont lying through their teeth?
I think early exposure to several different OS’s means you’re at least not too poor, and lack of money does correlate a lot with illiteracy of all sorts.
Whereas blatantly asserting that “at least 30% of the population have a specific neurodevelopmental disorder” doesn’t merit any sourcing or facts. Just pull ideas out of your head and slap them down, that’s how it works right?
A meta-analysis would be called for, you say? Did you even open the link, let alone the PDF
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01530-y.pdf
And they don’t need to research ADHD. Let’s say you clean the local MickeyD every night, every stall and shit until it’s spick and span. If someone stopped you right before you stepped out and locked the doors and told you “animal control, there’s an elephant in here”, you’d probably be pretty certain there was no elephant as despite not having thought about elephants or tried actively looking for any, you’d be sure it’s not in the see through little McD where it wouldn’t even fit.
Thus when you hear “there’s an elephant on the loose” in that context you laugh.
I’m not defining a narrative. I’m calling bullshit on his figures.
People do tend to get mad over the next part; I believe that a lot of people who more or less require or at least work well on those meds to, well, require them, but not necessarily because of some mythical poorly reasoned latebloooming ad hoc NDD, but our world just has gotten a whole faster.
Stimulants, if used responsibly — instead of taking them on the weekends and drinking two days straight — can be compared to a strong energy drinks. And in many cases a bump of speed would actually be healthier than a huge can of coke or a mocha latte.
Anyway, the point people get mad about is that they think I’m gonna question their diagnosis or advocate they shouldn’t get their meds, nah, that’s not what I’m about.
I’m just hoping this won’t follow the same pattern as Oxy. Completely different beasts when it comes to dangers, both physical and forming dependency.
Still, it’s pretty clear if you want to browse good sources. Just look at how often NDDs were diagnosed, how fast the recognition grew as our information grew and so did the prevalence of all neurodevelopmental disorders.
But then out of the group ADHD is an outlier and nothing explains why it’s diagnosis have grown so much — except legalised speed basically.
I believe you shouldn’t hit kids hard (even rhetorically) or they’ll just get cranky and abandon the whole business.
So these actual studies aren’t studies, but the invisible yet to be named ones which show 30% having ADHD, now that is science. Yeah?
