If you can't pay attention in your multi ton machine, then yes I am in favour of consequences for your actions. I am not in favour of the system that makes those consequences homelessness, no.

There's another phenomenon that interacts here - there is an observed higher prevalence of LGBTQ in autism (discussed here https://sparkforautism.org/discover_article/autism-lgbtq-identity/ and various research papers). Niche forums such as Lemmy, Fediverse, even Reddit all feel like they also have a higher autism spectrum prevalence than a general population. So I would guess there's a double whammy on representation happening here - extra representation via safe space and shared interest on LGBTQ, extra representation ij autism spectrum, and an extra overlap between these two populations.

Higher incentive to not speed, then

Why are you on this community

[–] hughperman@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fair point, I hadn't looked up the specific movie / director

However, let's not forget the whole thing was created digitally then "printed" to film, so there was never a "film original".

Did you verify their statements that the true or false articles were in fact true or false?

Thanks! What an incredibly shit survey. They're asking me to judge based on headline alone without any further content. It entirely misses the point of how to judge the truthfulness of the headline - by reading further information!!!

The difference is that placebo is an objectively measureable benefit, regardless of whether they report being better or not.

Misreporting is a reported benefit, regardless lf whether they are objectively measureably better or not.

E.g. joint inflammation could be an example. Measurable reduction in inflammation with a calipers could be induced by placebo, even if patient doesn't report feeling better. But reporting feeling better may not come with any measured reduction in swelling.

Placebo is not (just) in the mind, it is in the entire body!

I acknowledge it is less clear-cut in mental health, but I just wanted to answer the general question outside of this specific context.
