@Zr05cd @Aella_Girl @mbeisen Even the best PGS only account for about 10% of the variance. So if the prediction claims an IQ of 100, it could really be anywhere from 70 to 130 in reality. Totally meaningless.

How do you administer an IQ test to an embryo?

New research suggests dispositional greed—a specific trait that describes a constant, unquenchable desire for more—strongly predicts an elevated risk of gambling problems, writes @ewdolan: buff.ly/5eozUVx

The perceived size of an object—a bottle or jar, a suitcase, a piece of furniture—shapes our propensity to buy. New research suggests another way to influence our estimates of size—a blue background can make a brown sofa look bigger, writes @ewdolan: buff.ly/2u4XgS5

"Aroused people, thinking of sex, just before sex, focus on their partner's physical and sexual traits." Bruh. Brother. Sibling. I am going to personally end this campaign by clown-ass prey people to brand normal male heterosexuality as evil. I hate to put it this way, but, ladies: if you were bent over in front of a partner, talking in an adult manner - and he asked you a non-sexual question about math while flaccid - would this total lack of "objectification" please you? Wot if he just walked away? Wet his fingers and started turning the pages of a business book? What the fuck are we even doing here? We may have to burn the modern critical academy entirely down and start anew.

Recent brain imaging suggests that locking eyes while listening to familiar chord progressions stimulates neural regions associated with social bonding. This shared activity also tends to increase subjective feelings of connection between two people. dlvr.it/TSQGny

“Men are getting more and more from women, whereas women are getting less and less.” @CostelloWilliam nicely summarizing the mating struggles of modern women

When ICE ramps up, U.S.-born workers don’t fill the gap, study finds dlvr.it/TSQN3J

A new study suggests that when teenage daughters use humor during conversations about sex, they tend to experience better sexual well-being. However, a mother's use of humor is actually associated with her daughter being less willing to open up. dlvr.it/TSNTxV

@Aella_Girl There are many couples in which the man buys flowers and the woman lets him come on her face. These types of couples are not particularly hard to find in normal society.

Women have been the equivalent of pornbrained by romance novels and Disney and are expecting male partners that cater to the female fantasy of idealized emotional connection. These men mostly do not exist, men are different and imperfect and imo women should drop standards

A single high dose of psilocybin can cause lasting physical changes in the human brain. Scientists found that temporary increases in brain randomness during the experience predict improved well-being and mental flexibility for at least a month. dlvr.it/TSNfB8

@TomCottonAR Do you think this is a Nazi symbol too?

Dems called Elon Musk a Nazi for waving to a crowd. But now they're embracing the lying fraud Graham Platner — who is so antisemitic he proudly got a Nazi SS tattoo.

@megbasham That is basic Christianity. Humans beings are stewards of the earth, and the blessing of inanimate objects (fields, fire, water) has been completely ordinary for nearly 2000 years.

So maybe I don’t get this because I’m not Catholic, but even if I believed this story, the pope is obviously a lefty. He blessed a piece of ice in honor of climate change for Pete’s sake. I don’t get why the Trump Admin would want him at any events.

A new study reveals that young men who support the so-called tradwife movement are driven more by hostile sexism and resentment toward women than by a chivalrous desire to protect and provide for them. dlvr.it/TRpqJZ

A recent study published in Personality and Individual Differences provides evidence that believing words cause lasting psychological harm is linked to worse mental health. The research suggests this belief also tends to align with progressive political… dlvr.it/TRq2rT

In non-human primates, females tend to broadcast their reproductive status through olfactory signals emanating from the genital region. Whether this is true for humans is debated, but recent research suggests it is not, reports @ewdolan: buff.ly/WCXF7n7

A recent study published in Collabra: Psychology suggests that crying does not universally improve a person's mood. Instead, the emotional aftermath of shedding tears depends almost entirely on the specific reasons behind the crying episode. dlvr.it/TRm11J

A fresh analysis of audio recordings from Stanley Milgram's infamous shock experiments reveals that his most obedient volunteers routinely broke the rules of the supposed scientific study. dlvr.it/TRlNLk
