Can you change your personality? Psychology research says yes, by tweaking what you think and do
The concept of a personality may sound like itโs set in stone. But personality is really much more flexible โ and you can take steps to craft your characteristic thoughts, feelings and behaviors.The Conversation

I have often wondered how dogs parse elevators---if they understand they're going up and down or if they really just think these are doors that "swap out" the scenery.
There's a dog at a retirement home near here, and he knows how to go floor to floor. He'll stand in front of the elevator and wait for people he knows usually go to the floor he wants to be on, then follows them in.
Universities are not just businesses, but an investment in future generations

Many UK universities are in a financial crisis. But the government is leaving them to flounder, treating higher education as a private-sector industry and research as a public investment.www.nature.com

Happy #caturday everyone. This is Rigbyโs bartering service where he trades puffballs for treats. He will pick one out, often his favorite blue one, and proceed to announce his decision loudly as he carries it through the house to the office. The crying continues until he drops the puffball at which time he will tap my arm to alert me to the gift he has brought me. My role is to heap tons of praise on Rigby and reward him with a treat (or two).

"Reflex tears clean out debris from your eyes, such as smoke and dust, helping protect them. Continuous tears protect your eyes from infection by keeping them moist. Emotional tears contain stress hormones and other toxins that they flush from your body."

Study: Cats in little crocheted hats shed light on feline chronic pain
Our feline overlords aren't particularly known for obeying commands from mere humans, which can make it difficult to study their behaviors in controlled laboratory settings. So a certain degree of ingenuity is required to get usable resultsโlike crocheting adorable little hats for kitties taking part in electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments. That's what researchers at the University of Montreal in Quebec, Canada, did to learn more about assessing chronic pain in catsโand they succeeded. According to their recent paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods, it's the first time scientists have recorded the electrical activity in the brains of conscious cats.

....So Valve just updated the Steam Subscriber Agreement and
they removed the binding arbitration clause and the class action waiver???????
They straight up inverted itโthe previous wording about exclusive jurisdiction for court proceedings was amended (diff) to remove the reference to the (now-deleted) binding arbitration section, and to make the statement apply retroactively (I highlighted the new text in bold):
You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.
IANAL, idk if the new text actually adds something that wasn't already in the agreement, etc.

Is corru.observer a widely known browser game? I played it last Thanksgiving week while I was meeting my grandfather for only the second time in my long-ass life and my grandmother for the first time in ~25 years. It was a weird trip that was perfect for late nights of playing a trippy game.
I think about it just about weekly, despite not having played it since. With #cohost dying, I'm sad I won't get my occasional dose of news and fanart there. Will I resurrect a tumblr account for following fanart? Quite possibly. ๐ฃ
Anyway, if you can handle the intensity of the visuals, it's a great game: corru.observer/

Nat (the community manager) could have ignored the comment as it was already buried but wanted to make a point. Upon following Nat creating the thread, she started to ban people who had nothing to do with this and posted innocent comments. Who are Titanium and Plat supporters, who will now no longer support Godot financially because they said nothing wrong.

But Nat went on a banning spree banning people from the official official Godot Twitter account. Nat stirred up drama for nothing and now is costing Godot financial issues.
I left the community because of Nat. She did a lot of things wrong and backstabbed people. She is very condescending and has split the community and team.
