The acceptance is one-sided in case of animals, so to make the question fair, we should ask: Would exploitation of humans be acceptable to the aliens? The answer is: Let's hope that besides higher intelligence they also have much higher empathy!

Interesting, it's kind of the other way around for me! I wake up ready for food. After brushing, my taste buds are knocked off by the toothpaste and I loose all apetite.

Ok. So I've read the article and it says the data was gathered as a selfreport survey. That means there are indeed more possible explanations of the results. It could mean liberals have more problems with mental health or that the conservatives have more problems with reporting their mental health problems. To resolve this issue, it would be necesary to assess the participants' health with some independent, more objective method.

Exactly. There is science-based economics and there's also pseudoscience economics. They exist next to each other. It's a similar situation as in medicine.

I think you missunderstood. What they're saying is using AI is still based on human creativity. A human comes up with a creative idea and uses a brush or an AI to visualize the idea. This opinion is built on belief that creative thinking is the heartof art and is more important than the physical process of crafting, the technique one uses to express the idea. There can be duscussions about that, of course.

I have a question that might sound stupid, but I seriously don't know: Can pesto be non vegan?

The answer is they're going to be adult about it. Even if the breakup gets a bit messy, it's still possible to maintain a good professional relationship. I've got several such ex-couples in my bubble. They're mature enough to make it work.

Alow me an observation from the other side. I am a parent and I'm friends with two childfree couples (as well as with several other couples that don't have children now but plan them in the future). I meet my childfree friends when I have someone to babysit, so I have a free evening for them. Sometimes we spend holidays together and on those occasions they don't mind the children. In general, they choose the activities they want to participate in with me and it doesn't influence our friendship at all. In the end, I think it's about mutual respect (and finding people that are capable of it).

This is a briliant question. I know of a research focused on the positive aspect. Participants, who got to play a game in which they were a superhero and helped people, were immediately afterwards much less hesitant to help (in a staged small accident that happened during the final talk with the examiner). So it seems you could get into habit of helping. I suppose it could work the other way aroud as well and you could build a habit of being selfish and not caring by playing such people. But I suppose most actors don't play only vilains all the time and have good habits outside the role. Also, playing a vilain can certainly help you connect to and understand your darker sides, which is a great way of getting control of them.

I agree wholeheartedly. At the same time I feel with the OP. When you're interested in child related topics, there's no way to escape the child hate. It's very prevalent.

I think it is perfectly ok to hate shitty parents. But it seems to me that many people really hate the children, not their parents. Many of them also tend to generalize and hate all children in a simple children-bad manner. I often see people who are not afraid to say they just hate children. I find those people in all groups - some of them are childless, some of them are good parents and some are the shitty ones. It seems to be the popular edgy thing to say.

Yes, you can build tolerance to cold temperatures by slow gradual exposure to them. Using cold water at the end of showering and wearing one Layer of clothes less to feel slightly cool (but not freezing) works well. Aside of cold tolerance, the benefits include boosting your imune system, turning your white fat into Brown fat, which is able to burn calories (and make heat from them, that's why you feel warmer) and lowering inflammation in your body.
