So much annoys me about Windows 11 but I will say that having "open in new tab" as an option for the folder explorer windows was a great addition. The rest I could take or leave. Any other cool small features of 11 I'm missing?

It's honestly hard to fathom how they had so many absolute bangers on one album.

This isn't a fucking freedom of speech issue when we're really talking about the freedom to conduct psychological malpractice. What if my MD insisted on using opiates for infections instead of antibiotics?

My doc could SAY those things wherever he wanted...except when practicing medicine.

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice.

Supreme court backs conversion therapy in Colorado 8-1. Jesus fucking Christ.

The highest court in the land just moved to increase suicide rates anong queer youth.

Watching my daughter develop deep empathy for her toys is both precious and exhausting. I can only handle so many KittyFairy crises per day.

Does anyone know where this may be available? I've done a thorough search but the internet is vast!

A report named "The big five inventory—versions 4a and 54" - has been cited over 6,000 times yet the only actual copy of it I can find anywhere is just another "citation" listing.

Seems like this should be readily available given how frequently this measure is/has been used!

Hey psychology friends - I'm doing some digging trying to find the original validation of the 44-item BFI measure from John et al. It seems like the original validation data was not reported in a peer-reviewed publication but a technical report that doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

As scientists who are also humans with human politics - this is so incredibly important for all of us to support like our lives depend on it (they do).

Social psychologist here - I can easily explain it.

He promised his supporters one of the most decadent treats of all - revenge on others with absolutely no risk to them. All the other promises are secondary to this one.

We love revenge. When we get it the reward centers of our brain light up.

This takes me back to middle school when our principal banned all Pokemon cards because kids were stealing from each other and getting into fights.

He refused to pronounce it correctly as a belittling joke - "Poke-uh-Man"

He didn't realize the jokes that followed would haunt him forever.

I am so very proud of my first 4 grad students for finishing! Plus one undergrad PASS lab had 5 to graduate this term. Next semester we will be a serious skeleton crew until the newbies are trained!

Only 1 bathrooms to 8 beds was bad enough!

That is a fucking HUGE house for a meth lab. As someone from rural WNC - meth labs are usually in double wides or hotel rooms.

This is more like a meth palace.

Some of y'all never built a personal website using the geocities browser GUI using dial-up in 2003 and it really shows.

No I will not elaborate.

"Completely disregarding scientific evidence" See there. How hard was that?

Right? Like I'm a psychologist. Don't expect me to know about the economy beyond a basic level.

How could that possibly be shady?

Not having anyone to talk to and submitting to a completely faceless website with no other contact doesn't seem shadier?

Its not like the PO is involved in deciding who is awarded. They are quite removed from all of that.

If people are making loud, unreasonable critiques without offering alternatives...you are probably doing something right. 😎

The "if possible" in that sentence would lead me to reply "it isn't possible so we didn't undertake any impossible revisions" lol like at least give me a suggestion!
