A colorful photo of an adult, shorthaired, piebald cat sitting comfortably on his guardian’s bed. Loki has bright green eyes, a pink nose and a black and white face as he looks into the camera with a relaxed, zero fucks expression. He is leaning back in a position which makes him look like he’s sitting upright like a person with his legs splayed open, manspreading. His left paw is simply resting on his lap like he just finished a beer.

It is crucial you all behold my cat while he is on narcotics.

The Alt Park Service account is one of the longest running grift accounts I’m aware of. Never credit photographers, not really “alt” park service employees, selling shirts, now giving out terrible unsolicited advice about LLMs. I can’t believe people still follow them.

As an even modestly online person, much less a journalist whose entire career at this point occurs online, there is no plausibility to claiming you "didn't know what would happen" when you derisively put a trans woman without social capital or resources on blast.

Wait til zoomers learn about Chris Dorner

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

The government came out with this whole big patriotic circlejerk about how he died so bravely, even while knowing his fellow soldiers had murdered him and then burned the evidence

For zoomers: He was shot 3 times in the head from less than 10 yards away by his buddies for criticizing the war as an illegal atrocity, then the government completely lied about how he died in a big Charlie Kirk martyr way.

His buddies also burned his body armor and uniform afterwards, btw

I wonder when the Pat Tillman friendly fire murdered by his buddies event of *this* war will happen

That is just as common, it's basically a conflict between the memories of the event and how those memories themselves are remembered.

One study on getting a baseline on average across population, getting an individual's baseline, etc

The effect of acute, moderate intensity indoor cycling on the temporal resolution of human vision system, measured by critical fusion frequency CFF thresholds from 15 volunteers were measured before, immediately after the end, and 30 min after the end of two sessions (training and rest). We observed an increased CFF immediately after trainin....

With a cheap, easy, fast method like this, people have gone wild measuring it for all kinds of things.

"What does some exercise do to CFF?" It increases it a bit for a while afterwards

From eyes' microtremors to critical flicker fusion - PubMed The critical flicker fusion threshold (CFFT) is the frequency at which a flickering light source becomes indistinguishable from continuous light. The CFFT is an important biomarker of health conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy, and is affected by factors as diverse as fatigue, drug …

Flicker fusion threshold tests have been studied a lot in alzheimers and epilepsy precisely because it gives a non-invasive, cheap, easy window into not just the visual processing system.

Critical flicker fusion in patients with epilepsy under antiseizure medication - PubMed CFF and FF distinguished PWE with ASM from healthy controls. No clinically relevant differentiation was detected in the heterogenous PWE group. To investigate whether CFF and FF may serve as subtle indicators of neurotoxicity or specific modes of action, additional studies are needed in more homogen …

People have studied flicker fusion, the subject of my OP thread, in epileptic people.

One hope is being able to basically make a heart-rate variability kind of daily test for picking up whether seizure likelihood is higher or lower today than usual.

Chronic 40 Hz light flicker mitigates epileptogenesis through a visual pathway associated with the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus shell - Nature Communications Whether and how gamma entrainment using sensory stimuli (GENUS) has a role in antiepileptogenesis is not fully understood. Here authors show that GENUS reduces seizure susceptibility in male mice. The...

Did you know that there is a field of research in epilepsy studying the use of specific flickering frequencies as *preventing* seizures?

the plan, such as it is, appears to be “bomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victory”

this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it “works”

Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up?

Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality!

As terrible as the anti-trans stuff has gotten in the last few years -- and it absolutely has -- the level of casual homophobia in the 1980s and 1990s, even the early 2000s was shockingly worse than people who didn't live through it would imagine looking back from today.

I wonder if anyone has researched how youtube comments are returning to hate speech and bigotry again, after a brief window of being pretty wholesome.

Platner covering up his Nazi tat with a series of increasingly more obscure nazi iconography until finally his entire chest is covered by a hate symbol only ever recorded being found scrawled in a bathroom stall in 1937.

apparently this needs to be stated explicitly: this same sentiment applies to elected/wannabe elected dems too. I was done with platner the day the story of his nazi tattoo broke and I think that was obvious from my response to that story, which included phrases like "extreme, disqualifying doubt"

This happens to drivers too, a perceived alteration of time sense causing them to overcompensate with direction or speed, thinking they are slamming on the brake much faster than they actually are etc

That "after the fact" is almost real-time, it's in the process of recalling what their last action was. This is a problem if you're trying to make a series of precisely controlled adjustments.

they survive, they talk about feeling time slow down, etc. But studies in flight simulators show that's not what's really happening. They're mostly misremembering how long events took, after the fact.

Pilots have a problem with controlling their planes in disasters. They perceive time as slowing down, and begin trying to correct the trajectory but can't perceive that their timing is all wrong. Overcompensating for thrust that hasn't kicked in yet, etc.
