“After recalling a memory, participants learned how to use a cognitive skill called mental rotation, which involves rotating 2D and 3D shapes using your ‘mind’s eye’. They then used this skill to play a slower form of the video game Tetris, which similarly involves rotating geometric blocks. This is thought to occupy the brain’s visuospatial areas, competing with the visual flashback, weakening its vividness and emotional impact – and critically, the frequency with which it intrudes.”

Well this is fucking fascinating. It’s almost like you’re symbolically working through the traumatic event in a way that it can actually be ‘solved’.

I will check them out!

Dan Harmon has said the producer did this magic for him. He would often telling Dan that, no, they were over budget when they weren’t, so he could then say yes to the best ideas, actors/cameos, etc.

I’m a huge superfan. My ringtone is Professor Professorson’s.

It’s basically climbing a tower and killing most of what is in your way, but even then that is abstract.

It’s a deck building roguelike, and one of the best.

Or… this is the crime they have the actual evidence to prosecute.

For the past several years, I’d have to say The Bamboos. I love me some good funk.

I would be very glad to be wrong here!

Using fossil fuels to make fertilizer has fueled human growth.

When capitalism dies, a LOT of people die off. It is inevitable - eventually we have to wean off of oil, and it isn’t just transport but materials and fertilizers.

So we have to plan for a smaller world community as well, and help those in crisis as the world community shrinks.

Thank you for that! We are pretty happy together, and have a house filled with animals.

There was a ravine out back of my house in Ohio in the early 80s.

We had a ton of fun cleaning it up and exploring up and down the creek. There was a shale cliff nearby and we would snap off pieces and skip stones.

Solid memories of free time in the local wilderness when I was a tot.

I had a blast when I first discovered it. Introduced my Dad, as he had told me all these great stories about LSD in the 60s and early 70s.

Just can’t find it these days, but I haven’t tried either.

Fully agree, DMT clears my brain out for months. Unfortunately I can’t legally use it.

I got a Valentines gift for my wife, she hadn’t gotten me one and felt bad.

We were going to get a meal from a steakhouse but instead I went shopping, got a steak, salad, and rolls. Made dinner myself for about 20% of the cost but no leftovers.

All in all it was a good day. Dessert was apple cider with some apple pie moonshine in it.

My wife’s guilt present is on its way too, hehe.

Been together 15 years, married almost 12, and in our 50s.

Neurotoxins.

‘Elder statesmen.’

I would unplug that immediately, just to be safe.

I can’t see that going well, especially for your hair.

Mustache guy is Snidely Whiplash from Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Edit: Nope, the other one was right, Dick Dastardly.

It was worth hate watching, in my opinion. I was openly laughing at the product placement by the end.

I’m hoping it’s to run for president, but that is likely just hopium.
