Those are screenshots of embedded tweets from the article, but here’s an xcancel link! https://xcancel.com/apolloaisafety/status/1864737158226928124

It’s actually pretty interesting though. Entertaining to me at least

I just struggle to see what making fun of the witnesses has to do with progressive politics

My OC shitposts

I imagine they’re saying that they speak/write over a 6th grade reading level for example, making them “better” at the language than those who read below their level

The 5G energies

Top fucking tier trolling, I’m so impressed. Or autism? I’m thoroughly entertained either way

If I was a rich person and I trusted Apple, I would switch to iPhone for this.

We’ll get an open source, entirely local version for GrapheneOS eventually though, I imagine

Would

Wow, these examples are so cool.

Food Preferences:

• developed aversion to meat after receiving a heart from a vegetarian donor.
• experienced nausea after meals post-transplant from a donor with irregular eating habits.
• developed a taste for green peppers and chicken nuggets, foods favored by her donor.

Musical Preferences:

• began enjoying loud music post-transplant.
• developed a love for music after receiving a heart from a musician.
• started appreciating classical music, previously disliked, after transplant.

Sexual Preferences:

• Male recipient of a heart from a lesbian artist experienced heightened desire toward women.
• Lesbian recipient of a heterosexual woman’s heart found attraction to men.

Other Preferences and Aversions:

• Landscape artist’s heart recipient developed interest in art.
• Dancer’s heart recipient shifted color preferences to cooler tones.
• Fear of water developed post-transplant from drowning victim.

Memories:

• describes sudden unusual tastes accompanied by thoughts about their donor’s identity and life experiences.
• feels tactile sensations corresponding to the impact of the car accident that killed their donor.
• experiencing flashes of light and heat resembling the trauma suffered by their donor, who was shot in the face.
• describes a vivid dream of reckless driving, mirroring the circumstances of their donor’s fatal motorcycle accident.

Some recipients even experience dreams or memories aligning with their donor’s identity, such as a woman envisioning a young man named Tim during a dream and later discovering her donor’s name as Tim Lamirande

Unfortunately, though, I don’t see any mention of how certain they were that the recipients didn’t learn these things before experiencing them

I know they think it might generalize to other platforms, but there’s little evidence to say so, and I doubt the percentage is nearly as bad on other platforms, especially Lemmy (which is the only social media I use, so the only thing relevant to me and many others here)

There’s likely also a high percentage of people who form opinions about and comment on headlines without reading the content, but that’s not what this paper measured

This article is about sharing links without having read the content, not just scrolling past or commenting without reading first

Edit: a more accurate headline would be

Facebook users probably won’t read beyond this headline before sharing it, researchers say

Some people have different priorities.

Participating in the electoral process reinforces existing power structures. To instead challenge them, some advocate for direct action and grassroots organizing as more effective means of enacting social change. Some would rather build alternative systems and communities outside traditional political frameworks, because liberation comes from collective action rather than reliance on electoral representatives.

While I don’t like legitimizing electoralism, and I would rather the billions spent on it go towards real tangible needs, I don’t abstain, I do vote. So I can’t fully defend this position.

Plenty of people who didn’t vote probably honestly don’t care, but that doesn’t mean they actively want Trump. That’s just silly to suggest

Some people are just apathetic about it, and a lot of those people likely feel that way because there’s no mainstream candidate that actually seems to care about their needs.

You want me to explain how not voting for trump… isn’t voting for trump?

Thanks for sharing- always good to add another one of you to my block list

Are you equating abstaining/ voting third party and voting for Trump?

This is one of the saddest things to go through- I’m sorry for your loss. Just went through the same a couple weeks ago, and I gotta say, being proactive about the grieving process was a huge help. Everyone grieves differently, but I would recommend prioritizing the process- set aside time for yourself and your feelings every day.

One of best things my partner and I did was make bracelets out of beads that matched the fur and eye colors of our late cat, and it made it feel like her essence was still around with us. Highly recommend.

Wow, I thought you were just ignorant, but it turns out you’re just a piece of shit

Edit: While the term “bipolar” has broader dictionary definitions beyond the clinical mental health diagnosis, using it casually to describe non-medical situations like the weather or jobs is insensitive and trivializing of the experiences of those living with bipolar disorder. The mental health connotation of the word is so strong that even if other definitions exist, the language can perpetuate stigma. The goal is not to restrict language use, but to encourage more thoughtful and considerate terminology, especially when it comes to mental health-related words

Please don’t use bipolar as an adjective to describe anything but a person with the diagnosis. (Edit: or junction transistors, magnets, coordinates, or cells lol)

And even then, consider that many people prefer person-first language to be more appropriate (I personally refer to myself as being bipolar, but to others as having bipolar disorder).
