BING QI LIN!!!

any tips for not injuring vocal chords?

ignoring or not having a chance to find it?

Thanks! It’s scary how simple it sounds to play, knowing how vast the possibilities are calculations are. I should go find old korean guys in the park and start getting my butt whooped i guess

How about the entertainment industry as a whole?

Thank you. I’ll do my best regardless. Will you be joining us?

I’ve been watching that on TV lately! We call it Ba-dook :) I do really wanna learn it, but it seems sooo complex

Oh yeah, I could see that. I’ve only seen a couple Wendover videos but they seemed decent

Um, Chess

Love Tasting History. one of the best channels. he does great research.

stoked for Bonsai channel, thank you

mehhhh… he’s a bit corporate now. he started as an excellent channel for teaching concepts in physics to layfolk using engaging questions. and he does great research. but i think more bias has crept into his content since he got big

Real Life Lore sucks. he’s algorithm bait. he isn’t necessarily factually wrong, but he’s just shallow. it plays better to the algorithm. he is pretty much the antithesis of “in-depth”. so I’m not really sure what you’re looking for if that’s the benchmark

so I’m not interested in this conversation but I do need to acknowledge that you’re misusing the term “gaslighting”. it matters. disagreement, or sharing a perspective you don’t agree with, is not gaslighting.

gaslighting refers to a specific form of domestic abuse by which the abuser attempts to control their victim by making them doubt their own faculties of perception, question their grasp reality, and ultimately become dependent on the abuser.

in other words, if you say it was great weather yesterday and i say “what? were you in the park at noon? the weather was so hot!” that’s not gaslighting. that’s having a different experience. likewise if you ask if I went to the park and i say “No”, but i really did go, that’s not gaslighting. that’s called “lying”. lying is not, in itself, gaslighting.

now if you say “but i saw you! you were carrying a green parasol!” and this were true but I went and threw out the green one and got a yellow one and replied “no you didnt, i dont even have a green one, this is my parasol it’s clearly yellow, are you sure you recognized me? maybe you are having some brain damage, let’s make an appointment and get you checked out” that’s getting closer to gaslighting. hey, that’s actually sort of similar to what you said to me, although I dont think you were gaslighting me, i think you were just being a self-righteous american jerk.

I know this is irrelevant to what you were hemming and hawing about with that other commenter and you probably won’t care, but this matters way more to me. please don’t misuse words that we depend on for understanding IPV

Just a few years ago you weren’t downvoted just because someone disagreed with your opinion.

Lol what? What year did you join Reddit? As someone who’s been there since 2008, I promise you that this is nothing new.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling with this map or not. Would be helpful if it included the source language. Like do these originate from Ingvaeonic, Old English, Latin, Celtic?

If tomorrow they announced that it had been happening for a while? Perhaps we’d move on.

If tomorrow were First Contact? Everything would change.

Hey be nice to them, that’s actually written in chapter 420 of Das Kapital, “Thou shalt save the world by being dicks online”

Ohh so melatonin leads to adenosine production, which caffeine blocks. so NO SLEEP is the smart bet. that makes a lot of sense, yeah! and when you think about it, coffee at night is gonna make for poor sleep no matter how much melatonin you take.

So caffeine binds to adenosine receptors to block adenosine’s drowsiness effect. Melatonin binds to melatonin receptors to regulate circadian rhythms. As far as how adenosine interacts with melatonin, no idea. I’m no biochemist and what I’m about to say could be 100% incorrect, but it seems that adenosine is involved in melatonin production?

So if it’s true that adenosine leads to melatonin production, then I’m guessing that the adenosine-blocking effect of caffeine would be (partially?) negated by ingesting a melatonin supplement, especially in the massive doses that they sell.

My money is on SLEEP. [I got it backwards!! See below replies.]

Yeah, totally, unbiased reporting to advocate for those poor vulnerable ISPs…
