"these effects" refers to the sentence right before it, "overestimating the proportion of social media users who post harmful content makes people feel more negative emotion, perceive the United States to be in greater moral decline, and cultivate distorted perceptions of what others want to see on social media".

In other words, the overstimation of >40% when it's <10% and the effects resulting from this overestimation can be mitigated through education (that it's in fact much lower).

 

With a Batman (person in costume) present in the subway, seat offered to a pregnant person increased from 37 % to 67 %.

44 % of those who offered their seat reported not having seen Batman.

YouTube short about the topic, from DrBenMiles

Abstract (added linebreaks):

Prosocial behavior, the act of helping others, is essential to social life, yet spontaneous environmental triggers for such behavior remain underexplored.

This study tested whether an unexpected event, such as the presence of a person dressed as Batman, could increase prosocial behavior by disrupting routine and enhancing attention to the present moment.

We conducted a quasi-experimental field study on the Milan metro, observing 138 rides. In the control condition, a female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train with an observer. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door.

Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%, OR = 3.393, p < 0.001). Notably, 44% of those who offered their seat in the experimental condition reported not seeing Batman.

These findings suggest that unexpected events can promote prosociality, even without conscious awareness, with implications for encouraging kindness in public settings.

We realised administering medication without addressing these broader psychosocial needs would be failing in our duty of care.

So our study evolved to include a comprehensive support model, combining pharmacotherapy with trauma-informed clinical counselling, proactively following up participants, 24-hour crisis support, helping the men navigate support services and partner safety planning.

End to end - just like the food through your body 😏

It's definitely been a thing before Trump. A lot of corporate and publicity speak is like this. Trump is certainly the most prominent, visible, and 'obvious through exposure' figure and example of this right now though.

Biological and psychological variance is an Internet part of humanity. When you say this I'm immediately reminded of fascist ideals and efforts to 'normalize' and 'conformize' people, and not just from this side of the spectrum. So I think this is a somewhat dangerous argument to make.

At large, it's human nature to elevate these kinds of people, that's why they end up in such high positions. I'm not sure we can change that. And that's where regulations and requirements by law come in, as well as public record and press, to keep them in check.

I get the sentiment and frustration in your comment though.

The initiator wanted to introduce a new kind of look at countries, to not only look and value and rank them by gdp or happiness index but by their contributions to outside their own country. They call this good, as in doing good things rather than selfish things.

'Better' is a ranking of 'goodness' as well.

That side, do you see no good in hierarchy at all?

Part of this service is covering the risk of unforseen cost. Heating breaks? That may become expensive. You pay a monthly fee and don't have to manage risk and cost like that. Many people would be ruined if they had to cover that and repair becomes necessary, or face worsening condition.

 

The Good Country Index measures what countries contribute to the world outside their own borders, and what they take away: it’s their balance-sheet towards humanity and the planet

Help, my cat stepped on the button, how do I recover my data?

To prevent accidental and catastrophic presses, the drive’s self-destruct button is designed with a two-stage sliding switch.

Looks like they prevent that.

Quoting the teaser text

Google’s Pixel 10 works with AirDrop, and other phones should follow later.

How do you rsync between an android and iOS device? Is it as simple as airdrop?

I hack Jira DOM via CSS. When we moved from on premise to cloud the DOM became a trash bag with the occasional test id attribute sprinkled in. I hate it.
