It was definitely true in my experience- the general feeling was that it’s very hard to prove any general rules in psychology, because there are so many factors. You want to be able to say “people are ___” but people are just way too complex.
All I remember from my psychology classes is that for every study that shows some phenomenon, there’s another study that shows the opposite. That’s why I switched to math.
edit: well I guess the main reason was to help find a job…

pruwyben@discuss.tchncs.deto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Time to redraw America's borders in a way that finally makes sense.10·3 days agoI like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.
I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

It was fucked up reading about Sacagawea’s emotion reunion with her brother, now the chief of her old tribe, immediately followed by Lewis talking to the chief about how great things will be for the tribe when they open up trade with the US.
