Yes, that one, thank you.

If you’re going to tell people to look into the lens of romantic*/companionate (and all the other ones you didn’t mention: nonlove/liking/infatuation/empty love/fatuous love/consummate love) you should at least give them some starting points.

• Triangle theory of love: Robert Sternberg (1987, 2006)
• Brain regions; attachment/commitment vs sexual desire: Diamond (2004), Aron et al. (2005), Xu e al. (2011)
• Lust/attraction/attachment, dopamine/serotonin influences: Helen Fisher (2006), Aron et al. (2008),
• More influence of dopamine/serotonin: Ackerman (1994, p. 165)
• Critiques of simplifying love: Fehr (2006)
• Some more neurotransmitters and hormones: Macdonald & Macdonald (2010), Hill et al. (2009), Gouin et al. (2010), Ditzen et al. (2009), Theodoridou et al. (2009)
• Loves sternberg didn’t consider: Berscheid (2010), John alan lee (1988),
• Decreases in romantic love: sprecher & regan (1998), Tucker & aron (1993), Gupta & Singh (1982) and the followup D. Myers (1993), Walster & Walster (1978), Abhmetoglu et al (2010), Call et al. (1995), Klussman (2002)
• Non-decreases in love: Acevedo et al. (2011),

Personally, I would really, really recommend the textbook Intimate Relationships by Rowland S. Miller to anyone who is curious about the subject. I had to go pull my edition off of the bookshelf to quickly throw out all the references above.

*because passionate love isn’t the category. The proposed idea was the triangle theory of intimacy, passion, and commitment, which led to the eight above categories----

Aye, it’s like the ‘sex scene’ in lion king. When in the context of the film, you wouldn’t even notice it as potentially lewd, but a single frame can appear pretty different.

Yeah, but you can still get pretty close to the same idea with the normal, I’d say. Good on the creator for making it a bit better.

If I remember correctly, someone once went down the rabbit hole of clicking on one of those links and documented the experience, and it was a maze of link after link that would make those AI bot trapping programs proud. If you actually got to an article, I’m blown away.

Me: doing my thing

God, visibly sweating and white-knuckling his desk as he watches on the computer monitor: No, no! Stop! Don’t stretch it like that! I didn’t design the desmosomes to last under that kind of pressure! Oh goooooood, stoooooop! Not the ammo box!

For dprk, it’s not so much “bring the war to us” as ‘completely flatten seoul in minutes with the enormous amount of artillery they have pointing at it,’ which of course makes south korea a little nervous. Then there’s the possibility of mid range nukes hitting us allies which makes them nervous. I’m quite honestly on the fence about whether anyone in the current us administration would even care. We know trump would merely shrug.

The seals were approached by a fishing boat who had heard their ruckus, and murdered them. The us has a thing for killing fishermen.

Ah, that’s because the coffee review was op’s previous review, not that one. ;)

I kept a flip phone until 2015, so I’m pretty hardcore about the don’t replace it if you don’t have to vibe we apparently all have here. I did swap the 2015 smart phone for a different one in 2019, because it was essentially ‘broken’ by the cell carrier into not receiving important functions like connecting to their towers. I’ve decided to not replace this current one until I’m forced to, and then it’s time for anything but an iphone/android.

I was once on waterfox, but there was a weird happening a few years ago where they split it into a classic version and a newer fork, and the difference was something to do with ads and the browser’s interaction with them (the extensions that adblockers relied on, I think, from memory). I stayed on the classic for a little while before jumping to librewolf now.
