I’m not really sure which thread this belongs in, so I will just stick it here.
I know people fell snake-bit over 2016 and are wary of polls, but it’s not like pollsters haven’t been updating their methodology. In retrospect, Bernie’s Michigan miracle in the primaries was a sign that something may have been off four years ago and this wasn’t repeated in 2020.
Here’s a story about how polling organizations have been working on adjusting their models to be more accurate.

Hungary going full Putin - democracy in name only. This is basically what happened to any last independent media in Russia.
Orban was ruling by decree not so long ago. That got removed by parliament pretty recently. However, all he needs now is for the health minister to rule covid worthy of state of emergency and never remove it. Then it’s rule by decree for good.
This was my research interest before my academic career was derailed (by a disease that affects metabolism no less). That’s the reason I feel like the YTF thread is gold. He was very open and honest about his thought process regarding food in a way that most people are not. From my perspective, one of the most interesting things he said was probably the most banal: the rigidity with which he believed certain foods must be paired together. I can’t remember the exact meal but it was something like “You can’t have steak without potatoes, silly!”
I was specifically interested in trying to suss this part out but never got there. I like your model of neocortex and lower brain function. Most of the eating behavior research I’m familiar with focuses on purely psychological phenomena with inadequate appreciation for what’s going on underneath. It’s really tough to beat your vagus nerve and hypothalamus, so I think identifying those triggers, as you’ve done, is the first step in actually gaining control with CBT or nudging. Are you familiar with sham feeding?

Does anyone know what’s going on with this? 2020 is just wild.

Phew!!
Wouldn’t it be way more likely that this debris is from a previous earth-based civilization instead of something from outside the solar system?
Not that either is likely, but no and not even close imo.
This is boilerplate UFO “reporting” same article is posted somewhere every few years for decades. It’s nonsense.
That’s what they want you to think! Wake up!

Seriously that is one of the best tweets ever. She is so elite.
She really has a fantastic sense of humor about all of this. Pretty remarkable recovery from such a traumatizing time.

I think humour is crucial as a coping mechanism for difficult times.
Going to guess the amount of money raised by Republicans to rebuild will be less than $3.50

Agree with Chris and I’ve posted the same before. Free will makes no sense. That doesn’t mean there isn’t randomness. Mostly what we consciously do is narrate and justify our behavior after “choices” are made in parts of the brain that we are not conscious of.
