Super Mario 64 on my switch. Reminds me of great childhood memories.

I have a surface pro 8 and love it for school work in grad school. I love the stylus for note-taking and load it up with pirated textbooks. Saved $670 - $780 (used vs new) on next semester's books.

I can't see myself buying a new one tho once I finish school.

The false belief that systemic racism is in the past is widely perpetuated, and (aside from the blatantly obvious police problem) many do not realize we are still very much a country which operates on white supremacy.

The most powerful book in transforming and informing my position on racism was DiAngelo's "White Fragility: Why it's so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism." I highly recommend this to everyone.

Some other great books are "How to be an Antiracist" by Ibram Kendi and "Privilege, Power, and Difference" by Johnson.

Well I mean teaching as in modeling the behavior. Like offspring witnessing tool use for example.

And hooking her up to machine for nutrition was just an example. The point is because she will stop eating and starve herself.

But as someone else commented, removing the sex harmone glad prompts them to continue eating.

Edit: Wait that was you!

My first thought was an altered item in Control, but SCP also works.

I felt like Control was practically an SCP universe. Absolutely loved that game.

Yeah they are so incredible!

One of the biggest hindrances for their species is the lack of social learning. The mother starves and dies protecting the eggs, so all octopuses have to learn for themselves over their short lifespans.

And that is a testament to their cunning intellect and problem-solving capability. They learn so much and so quickly.

I've wondered what would happen in an experiment where a mother octopus was hooked up to machines to deliver nutrients to prevent her from starving to death while guarding her eggs. What kind of social dynamic would then follow once they hatched? Would she teach her young?

I totally agree with your criticism about the headline, but declaring octopuses have consciousness isn't a stretch at all in my opinion.

I highly recommend reading my blog post on animal cognition, culture, and personhood.

I have ads turned off and do not benefit in any way from my blog. I feel confident that my write-up should persuade open-minded individuals to give other animals the benefit of the doubt regarding possessing consciousness.

I have doubts about insect consciousness is any sort of relatable sense to humans, but many other animals absolutely possess consciousness similar to humans.

So formidable.. Earlier detection of a severely outdated aircraft that's being phased out...

Elephants are incredible animals. They have complex communication and even communicate through seismic vibrations through the ground via their feet, and they can even recognize the elephant sending the seismic message. Additionally, they have cultural practices, including funeral rituals.

For citations for these claims and more information, here is a blog post of mine (I have ads turned off and don't benefit from my blog in any way).

 

Hey everyone.

I am working on my masters in clinical mental health counseling, and I want to be multiculturally sensitive, including regarding the LGBTQ+ community.

I am a straight, cisgender male, and I have only had a handful of gay and trans friends/acquaintances. Multicultural awareness is certainly part of my education, but I don't believe it is close to enough. I want to hear from communities themselves, not just textbooks.

If you feel comfortable, I would really appreciate your feedback to make me a more effective counselor working with people in your demographic.

How can I best serve you?

What have you wished a past counselor could have understood?

What really pissed you off in a therapy session?

What is the most important thing for me to try to understand?

I hope this is received well. I genuinely want to be able to effectively serve all people.
