Idk, my education, research and work is in neuroscience and psychology but I’ve spent more time in hospital and on psychiatric wards as a patient myself than most of my patients do. So I have some fun viewpoints from both sides of the couch (or locked ward as it were). Would people want to read that for the juicy voyerism? Maybe?
Oh yeah, if we’re going with the former I’m like, 15/100 at best, the latter were looking at a nice 65/100 I’d say!
It’s all good! I didn’t want to sound preachy or anything, and I did notice you weren’t the only one making the call (but didn’t want to span my thoughts and you were first appearing in my scrolling).
I think another comment made that call about it being a reflection of a fragile sense of masculinity which lands better imo. Like, that’s plausibly true, and doesn’t perpetuate a cultural narrative that penis length is a corollary of masculine worthiness.
Dick size is not the issue, let’s not make a genetically determined physical trait something to shame people over, when people who drive such massive vehicles have actual things we can criticise them for!
I know it’s a joke, but idk not an inventive or funny one imo.
That’s what’s stopped me commenting too, Jerboa allows me to type out a whole comment then I lose it when I got post if the server is down. I am Australian though and recently learnt that the LW team have no-one who lives in this timezone so I can hardly blame em!
Yeah same, well here’s my active status for the month.
For real, thank you for putting to words perfectly so I didn’t need to write a long comment too!
Yeah great tip, it took a while to occur to me too!
We need more very hungry caterpillar memes in this world. Cute and relatable as I write procrastinating from my cocoon!
Probably closer to intermittent reward than Pavlovian conditioning! But yeah, definitely already “well defined” by psychology haha
