Yeah I guess they are generally more… grounded

I tried some Anker Liberty 4 earbuds and have found the ANC pretty good. They do stick out a bit so lying on your side wouldnt work, but there are these smaller ANC earbuds from Anker that might be worth a try: https://a.co/d/ggtEPov

What is the overall goal to teach them? Do they need to be journal articles? The most “grabby” headliners I have noticed are on marketing items. Especially if you want to appeal to a younger audience, you could screenshot examples from Snapchat tabloids. “Top 17 ways to get your SO to notice you more,” “Prince Harry did the unthinkable,” “How to instantly cut fat out of your diet,” etc.

Their goal is to “hook” you into reading or scrolling or watching. Journal articles might do this on a much milder scale. “Novel method for disposing of plastics.” So you think: Novel? Must be revolutionary. Let’s find out.

Idk I hope that helps.

That’s a good question. From what I gather, Lemmy (and most of the Fediverse) is an alternative to something, with less focus on the money/advertising. So I would guess most people are looking for an alternative way to connect about common interests. And because it’s not the easiest path for social media, I would guess most people have a desire for agency/self-reliance.

And because the whole Fediverse seems to be a different way of approaching social connecting, it takes a little more understanding of computer technology, so I would also guess most people have a least a higher than average affinity for computer technology. Linux and Programming Humor are larger communities.

That said, I have enjoyed a somewhat active participation about woodworking, gardening, jokes, news, medical updates, etc. Like mentioned in another comment, the different instances will have somewhat different norms and practices.

I guess not something that I would change, but I’m very glad we started with a marriage counselor. We did not have any overbearing concerns, but it has been immensely helpful in understanding each other and having a healthier relationship. Sometime people get weird and say “Oh no, a counselor, what’s wrong with your relationship.” Nothing. That is the point. Talk to one to get a baseline and when (not if) challenges come up, you don’t have to waste sessions filling them on your back story. Honestly, I think it should be required to do like three sessions before signing the papers, if nothing else to have someone point some things out that youre blind to otherwise about yourself.

I drove the bus driver for Slipknot back to his bus.

I also partied with Pretty Lights and Griz in a campsite but didnt know it at the time. Super chill people.

My high school teacher was named Richard Face. That pretty much writes itself.

Or “Ihave Noname” or “Whatis Yourname” would probably cause some confusion.

Depends, am I a horse-sized duck? I might have some people to fight

That’s a fair point. I guess only one or two I knew said they didn’t use it because of the aluminum, but I didn’t get to ask more about it.

The short answer seems to be “quite a while.” This strain was used as an indicator for RA but the research wasn’t clear if it played a role in causing it or what other relationship it had.

I love seeing research about the human microbiome, but it seems like there is quite a ways to go. Each person can have their own mix of bacteria, which changes throughout their life, and how each other strain may help or hinder a person is even further off. I don’t think there will be one probiotic that will fit for everyone’s scenario.

It’s like saying “What plant can I plant anywhere in the world?” Well, that’s pretty tough because there are so many temperate zones and seasons.

Reminds me of similar themes outlined in the Blue Zones project. It’s nice to see a scientific approach added. Hopefully they can help drive changes to help people live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I have never heard of that theory and research. It was really enlightening to read and seems to be pretty logical. I’ll probably revisit that later.

In response to the main article, I have never really been a big believer in the serotonin deficiency theory. In my experience, depression was much more affected by environmental factors. When I found a clearer sense of purpose, had a safe support system, and identified & let go of people that were not helpful to my mental health, things got steadily better. And have remained better. I know medication is necessary in certain cases to maintain mental health, but I would argue that the environmental effects have a larger impact.

This is also just a theory, but I don’t think genetics are as involved as people believe. I think genetics are base, but the genetics of depression are often really more of learned behaviors that are passed on from parents. Again, I’m positive there are some cases, but not the majority.

The gut microbiome has always fascinated me. I honestly never really thought about feeding the billions of microbes that have real estate in my body.

I wonder if caffeine would have a similar effect because it seems like things move more quickly through the GI tract.
