Could be false reporting with the intent to stir shit, too. It'd fit the tone of this election

... I can't tell how intentional that .gif is given the subject quoted. Like, the foot is okay but then there's the rest.

In any case, near as anyone seems able to tell it barely works at best (and more likely just doesn't) and includes such wonderful potential side effects as backfiring and disfigurement. As always, please consult a medical professional before attempting dong exercises suggested by random internet people. And then possibly a psychiatrist if you decide to not listen to said professional.

... we have wifi enabled pacemakers, now. Maybe not the most useful military device, but it's totes good stuff for medical monitoring. Pretty sure there's some external stuff with similar functionality.

Ea... eating too much of anything can cause nausea? Can't recall what the mechanism is for it, but overeating (or drinking) tends to make you fairly ill.

Well it's not like psychology is a real science anyway. How do you test a hypothesis without objective measurements?

As best you can when objective measurements are impossible to collect. Basically the same way you do any science before you have sufficiently precise measurement tools. Which is still most science to some degree, really, because we've still not really managed precise enough to call it genuinely objective, to the extent that's even an obtainable state of development.

Though all of it's science what is hard, if not necessarily hard science. Psych researchers laugh long and hard about the folks claiming experiments where you can actually pare things down to one or two variables in a controlled environment is anything approach difficult. Said it before and I'll say it again, those folks let their stuff be called soft science to save the fragile egos of the people playing easy modo science and calling it hard

He seems to be credited with giving the field of psychology a good kickstart though.

Well yeah, which is why I specifically mentioned him getting more people interested :V

But as mentioned, the problem is his shit was shit. Freud was pretty much a quack, and an embodiment of many of the negative stereotypes associated with psychology in general t'boot. Popularized the stuff to a fair extent but even by the standards of his time (never mind today) he was a freaking terrible psychologist. By and large the few times he was actually something approximating accurate, it was more coincidence than anything he actually did.

It's difficult to overstate just how bad the guy was at what he brought more attention to. Freud's one of the go-to examples I've seen used in modern psychology teaching as what to not do. How to not do research, how to not diagnose, how to not treat, and on, and on, and on. Pretty close to every aspect of psychology you can think of, freud screwed up on. Dude's almost impressive just for that alone

Laying down actually works if you make a sort of O with your bedding. Or an = or somethin'. Make it so none of the support is coming from your ear, but you're still rolling with enough support around the outer edge of your skull to be comfortable. Then you can adjust things so the pad's sufficiently warming your ear, but not putting pressure on it. Probably worth noting it's easier to manage with a towel or blanket instead of most pillows.

I do something similar quite often with the ear muff whatsits I use to block sound to make it easier to sleep. Y'make a little indentation so the thing's not pressing into your precious skull fleshes, but you still have bedding support.

He's probably still in the 'America needs to choose the President first!' phase. Even though Garland is arguably the most neutral and most palatable to both sides that Obama could find, Clinton is really under no obligation to continue pushing Garland as a choice.

Eh, I could see a scenario where she does keep garland as the nom, though there's probably plenty more besides it. Basically, she nominates him as the lube for what comes when the next slot opens. A kind of, "This is y'all's one." Maybe a bit of rubbing of faces in things on the side, a sort of "even when you little shits can't be little shits this guy's still a good idea" thing, too. But yeah, obligation there is not.
