    They did worse than that imo. I was a very early consumer of VR; had the original oculus headset and absolutely loved it. Then zuck bought them out, mandated that all oculus headsets would need a meta account, and effectively dropped support for anything other than the mobile headset. I was legitimately the kind of consumer that would put 5 figures into that hobby over a few years, but I set it down and never looked back after that. Im sure I’m not the only one who fits that description






  • Funny in a sick, dark humour kind of way. A lot of people don’t understand how jokes can be a defense mechanism people learn in response to repeated or extended trauma and mistake that behaviour as making light of the situation. I laughed, but this also strikes me as the kind of meme I would only selectively send to friends of mine who have also been through hell and learned to cope with dark humour. I completely understand laughing at this meme while still being furious at the underlying situation

    It’s true. Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch turns to snow in my clutch. Interstellar was still awful though lol. I might have enjoyed it like any other scifi if it wasn’t specifically advertised as a scientifically accurate portrayal of space travel, but that is how it was advertised and accurate it was not





  • From the abstract, emphasis mine

    “Moreover, although inequality initially seemed to undermine mental health, the publication-bias-corrected association was null”

    Maybe this term is reasonable and I’m just not familiar with the field of study, but this sounds suspiciously like “when you ignore all the woke dei nonsense” dressed up in academic language.

    Edit: it also points out that economic inequality does cause adverse mental health outcomes but only in low income people so that can be ignored for the conclusion. Honestly I feel like my takeaway is that getting published in Nature doesn’t mean what it used to

    Assuming the probability distribution falls off like a gaussian, I’d guess something like 3.5 to 4 times as large. I dont remember if that specific probability density function is gaussian or not, but assuming a distribution falls off like a gaussian is usually a safe bet
