Formally, this is an example of positive punishment where the addition of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of the target behavior occuring again.

Negative reinforcement refers to subtracting/removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a target behavior (think reducing a prison sentence for good behavior).

If I'm reading this correctly, the findings of this particular paper are more directed towards a relationship between stress/anxiety (such as life-challenging events or religious-related existiential stress) and religious beliefs rather than critical thinking via hippocampal volume (the neural section associated with emotional responses).

It's interesting that there was a pattern of hippocampal atrophy however they do not definitively claim the direction of a causal relationship or if even is one (such as correlational).

Interesting read that sheds into how religiosity may induce additional stressors from having a specific belief system.

I do appreciate creators who do their own content despite being keenly aware of the algorithm.

Infrequent long-form content creators to check out:

Tom O'Regan: British(?) topical/interest reviews, personal recommendations include his Obra Dinn video, Sickest Chess Match, and The Biggest Mistake In Music History

B-Mask: I support him on Patreon so pardon the bias but he likes to take his time creating in-depth and clear retrospectives on topics he's interested in, managing to get you interested in The Fantastic Four, Jems, and 2000s video game trilogies. Not long form for the sake of $$$ but insightful analysis of the history, themes, and personal deconstruction of such topics.

Also check out Moth Light Media for evolutionary biology, and Lines in Motion for manga and art analysis.

More frequent but short form (under 4 minutes) creators to check out are few and wide, 5sf are back-ish but carrying the torch are:

CrackerMilk are a bunch of good aussie lads making short sketches for quick laughs, with excellent timing and shooting.

Valueselect is a personal fave where he was doing sketches a year or two ago but is experimenting with yt shorts quite well. The majority of his comedy surrealist/fantasy/80's styling music are absolute hits.

Hope these are good starting points, I found these guys from browsing similar threads.

The width of a scarf matches the height of a human neck, so a scarf for an ostrich would look closer to a blanket. That or a tube sock.

Edit: I just realized, given the length of the ostrich and relative proportions, a human scarf would be closer to a decorative necklace ~~or choker.~~

Loved this chapter, especially in the webcomics when Zombieman visits Genius.

However, I feel this is going to get retconned due to the inconsistencies - I hope apron Mosquito Girl at least stays

The MangaPlus app does re-editions/releases and I'm presuming the bot automatically posts what they release

Honestly felt like he's on the razor's edge, I wonder if anything develops significantly, though it'll be interesting to see how Loid behaves after this

Was he established to be an aspiring photographer in the last loop? The irony of negation abilities are always so palpably evil
