They’ve cheated before, they’ll do it again. It’s like playing whack-a-mole trying to get around it.

Foreign artist’s copyright are stolen all the time in the US. If it can’t be litigated or enforced, it doesn’t really exist.

That’s a great idea, I’ll probably do that too.

• Gimp just got a brand new UI, but I haven’t personally checked it out yet.
• Krita is a great paint program for free.

I would say bring the gift of food, like appetizers or special chocolates for everyone.

Maybe a fun party game would be cool too. This is a good game to play because the wrong ones are the best ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telestrations (no affiliation). Cards Against Humanity can be fun, but it can also be awkward.

Several studies in mice had indicated that gut microbes can affect behavior, and small studies of people suggested this microbial repertoire is altered in depression. To test the link in a larger group, Jeroen Raes, a microbiologist at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, and his colleagues took a closer look at 1054 Belgians they had recruited to assess a “normal” microbiome. Some in the group—173 in total—had been diagnosed with depression or had done poorly on a quality of life survey, and the team compared their microbiomes with those other participants. Two kinds of microbes, Coprococcus and Dialister, were missing from the microbiomes of the depressed subjects, but not from those with a high quality of life. The finding held up when the researchers allowed for factors such as age, sex, or antidepressant use, all of which influence the microbiome, the team reports today in Nature Microbiology. They also found the depressed people had an increase in bacteria implicated in Crohn disease, suggesting inflammation may be at fault.

The studies say differently.

I mean, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that if you live on doritos and diet coke, you’re going to have a depression and anxiety problem.

Wow, that took me way too long to find. I thought you meant on the truck. BTW, the logo is dumb af.

Is it a Christmas lion? Such a weird dude.

I’m not sure I’m ready for you to move on.

Would you settle for soda bottles and a stick?

Right? That was the year before covid hit 2 years ago, I think.

Yep, when wii tennis elbow was a thing. There hasn’t been any video games that were that fun in groups since? At least I can’t think of any.

I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but could Meta actually bully/bribe Stanford to change the figures?

Asking questions about who’s paying for the study isn’t being a conspiracy theorist. Especially Meta, they’re evil af. They seem to be cautious as well.

This project is part of the U.S. 2020 Facebook and Instagram Election Study (Gonz´alez- Bail´on et al. 2023; Guess et al. 2023a,b; Nyhan et al. 2023; Allcott et al. 2024), a partnership between Meta researchers and unpaid independent academics. Under the terms of the collab- oration, the independent academic authors had final authority over the pre-analysis plan, data analysis, and manuscript text, and Meta could not block any results from being published. More details of this partnership are in Appendices E and F. We have posted answers to frequently asked questions online at this website.
