unfortunately have to have an alternative source of income

How the fuck do I get started with cryptocurrency?

Who is going to tell them

The only one I can think about are financial advises: 1. Do not ever spend more than you have and 2. Never sign something on the street or a the door.

Both have been very useful in life.

Exmatriculation that should be

To be fair, Iran is an authoritarian theocracy that has called for the total annihilation of Israel. That may agree with what many crazy people on Lemmy want too, but it cannot really be called defensive. It’s not as Iran just wants to “be left alone”. In the eyes of Israel Iran is an existential threat, therefore the attack did not come out of a vacuum.

And here am I, never experienced Windows to “just shut down”. It always restarted in the old days when I used to use Windows.

Well, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can’t comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it’s not fully implemented yet.

Great video! “It’s all connected” might be a bit exaggerated though.

Ah yes, the Jew controlling the world. A conspiracy as old as the mankind

Breaking: Nobody cares what Russia thinks

facts

Nah, I got my non native speaker allowance with me officer

This is how my inferior toasts look like

However I think the protests are very good for Trump

People are not able to chose between black and white anymore. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is what they chose. If Israel is bad, Iran must be good. Poor, poor Iran, just wanted to play a bit with nuclear bombs. The decade long calls of destruction of the Israeli state was just them saying “we want to be left alone”! The only thing that confuses them is Iran being one of the main providers of the Russian war. But soon they will side with Russia to be against “the imperialist west”. One side or the other, they don’t know any middle ground.

Now let the downvotes come my authoritarian tankies

I’m not at a computer rn, but to make it short:

The key experimental trial told participants that the average erect penis size of other men was either 18cm (small penis / low self-esteem) or 10cm (large penis / high self-esteem) and was always followed by rating of one of six sports cars. […] After the experimental trials, participants were told that some of the facts that they had been told were incorrect, and they were asked to give their estimates of the true values of these facts, including the true average penis size.

So if someone told me the average penis size is 18 cm I would call that bullshit. But let us assume all the 195 participants fully believed these numbers. They need to know their own penis size to make a comparison. Then this is about if “I feel I am below average”. Then they rated sport cars based on “how much they would like to have that product”

Sorry, but that does not sound very sound to me.

We increased our male participants’ desire for sports cars when we made them feel they had a relatively small penis. Why cars and why penises? These results raise intriguing questions for future research. Does penis size effect only ratings for sports cars, or other highly prized items as well? Does penis size have a connection to male self-esteem that just much stronger than the other factors we manipulated in this experiment. If we manipulated other equally strong factors – men’s beliefs about their intelligence or wealth perhaps - we would find a similar effect on product ratings? Or perhaps there is just something specific linking cars and penises in the male psyche. That hypothesis is supported by the data in this paper, and would explain the existence of the phallic car trope in everyday jokes, advertisements and academic discourse […]

What kind of conclusion is that? This is written like a blog article, not like a scientific paper. The conclusion has only 3 references. In total the paper is pretty short, but to be fair I don’t know what’s common in psychology either.

However what is most suspicious - this is a non peer reviewed preprint from 2023 and I cannot find the publication. So I guess it was declined, if it was even sent in

I looked through the study for fun, and it looks rather poorly made tbh. Also it’s a non peer reviewed preprint from 2023.

I think assuming men need to compensate for a body parts appearance they can’t influence is a pretty idiotic thing.

stuck in the middle with you

Lol I thought of leg presses, no idea why

Ouch, there is a lot of potential to destroy your knees doing bench leg presses wrong
