TIL chemists clearly got confused by D(ex)/S(in) and R(ight)/L(eft).

Yes, please and thank you!

Sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP.

I've tried postmarketOS with Phosh briefly, and while it's not in my use yet (I have an irrational fear of WebDAV but need my NextCloud), it looks rather "non-blinged" but functional.

Just clarifying that neither F-Droid nor Aurora have anything to do wirh piracy.

F-Droid is for open source software and while yes, some of the apps are replacements for that wouldn't fly in the app store (NewPipe, Spotube), they are not pirated or piracy tools.

Aurora is just a front-end for Play store that mainly allows you to download free apps without a Google account.

I just know from personal experience (also in Finland) that the advertising on Youtube has been significant. I don't remember ever seeing an ad for a ESC song, right there among the phone/service provider, furniture store, food and whatever ads. This time it was all the time, and always just Israel. It was jarringly propaganda. My friend who was over for the watch party commented that she kept getting "an ad for some song" too, and recognized the performer, and she isn't even an Eurovision fan.

Edit: Also think I'll be joining the boycott next year. Maybe take a look at the semifinal songs, but this "is this the year the country doing a genocide manages to pay themselves to victory, or which of these contestants might stop it" takes all the fun out of it.

Edit2: Also much congratulations to JJ! It was certainly of the most memorable shows and countertenors are amazing. (Though "opera pop" isn't my genre, and sounded like he still has a ways to go to make it sound effortless.)

Dean was the one that wasn't Dean in Gilmore Girls, right? What was that Dean's name in this again?

I'm going to be boring and just say "Survivor".

Not just because she is one, because obviously she is, but because around the time of her ordeal(?), 7-9-ish hours ago, Parg's "Survivor" was making it through Eurovision's 2nd semifinal.

As a woman who's been that down: IMHO you can just empathize, but admit you don't have the capacity to deal with her needs. That you wish her well, but for your own mental health, you can't be her rock. She may well know she has trust and relationship issues, and is telling you for the very reason that she wants you to walk away now if you can't cope, rather than break her heart later.

Of course it's also possible she's has a personality disorder, rather than "just" depression, anxiety and trauma. So don't let yourself be guilted back.

In any case, for both your sakes, and I hope this does not need saying: No sex.

Edit: Based on your responses you're barely acquaintances. No action necessary, just let it drop.

A little or a lot more every year. Though humanity is pretty resourceful and nature has tardigrades, "never say never" to some post-apocalyptic 10k populations of one or the other surviving somewhere.

Fair enough, it does suck. I for one remain unconvinced by your sources, but respect greatly both that you provided them, and your opinion as equivalent to any "based on my non-objective experience..." just like my own. Thank you.

You clearly stated you didn't want to have someone comb through you papers and argue, and their value as evidence is obvious to anyone who bothers to take a look, so the reaction of "nothing will come out of continuing this conversation" is quite understandable. I returned to say thank you for posting sources, but since you seem to take this as some kind of "stunned them to silence"...

The first two sources apparently refer to the same study; Okami 1995 is mostly literature review, methods, and intermediary results, while Okami 1998 is the final results.

Okami 1995: "Consistent with the cross-sectional retrospective literature (and with our expectations), no harmful main effects of these experiences were found at age 17-18. [...] Taken as a whole then, effects are few, but generally beneficial in nature."

Okami 1998: "No harmful "main effect" correlates of the predictor variables were found."

So I fail to see how they'd support your point.

The last one, the Yahoo article, is not a study nor does it refer to any.

Okami 1998 also had a link to Lewis 1988, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3421828/: "The results suggest that childhood experiences with exposure to nudity and sleeping in the parental bed are not adversely related to adult sexual functioning and adjustment. In fact, there is modest support that these childhood experiences are positively related to indices of adjustment."

Recognition of pre-existing bias: I'm Finnish, and this felt like an attack on family saunas.
