It’s more common in the US to only get an undergrad degree compared to both NL and Germany (probably because of the costs associated with going to uni)

I think that is partially why the first year of undergrad here (out of 4, compared to 3 in Germany) is more like the last year of high school in Germany than the first year of university

Yes, I've definitely noticed this more and more recently.

Seven Symptoms Over Nearly 4,000 Days: Item-Level Variability in the Psychometric Properties of Daily Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms in Young Adult Drinkers - Kevin M. King, Dahyeon Kang, Megan E. Schu... People experience symptoms of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in their daily lives, including more impairment-based symptoms (e.g., hazardous use, interpersonal pro...

I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

hey European hivemind, I need some help...PhD students here, especially foreign ones, are feeling a lot of concern related to evolving immigration restrictions here. Those students are increasingly looking to postdocs in EU. To help advise them better, what are expectations for postdocs?

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people 
who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. 
This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. 
Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, 
Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. 
Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. 
We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine 
On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. 
Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. 
We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

I see - well, it’s always necessary to do everything you can to get high quality data, in my opinion this is not unique to Prolific; we face many scammers trying to get into our EMA studies and it’s a lot of hard work to identify them and prevent them from enrolling 10x into our study

So you meet them one by one, what’s the problem? I will do whatever is necessary to ensure the integrity and quality of my data

I’ve collected great data on prolific as recently as 2025. We spoke face-to-face with every single participant as we onboarded them. They were highly motivated and did a great job participating in our study. What do you think how they feel if they see posts like yours calling prolific research bs?

Also, I choose cc by 4 for my work not because of legal details but the intention of the license as I understand it. The authors are studying this topic, they should be aware how many people want nothing to do with LLMs. Thus, they should have asked me even if it’s β€œlegal” to do so w/ asking

I use a verbal example similar to this when talking to Republicans/Afd voters to try to get them to feel more compassion towards refugees/immigrants. Usually not effective sadly
