Ok, I’ll go with velociraptor. Maybe not as an icon of thought, but I’ll go with it.

We talk about enabling harmful behaviour. No one has a right to harm others, not even those with a disability.

No matter whether the diagnosis is accurate in this case. OP’s parents are harmful for some reason. No need to make OP’s situation even harder, internet stranger. Be kind to kids, please.

In this case it’s a survival strategy.

I think for some children that’s the best way to overcome fear. Not for all children, though, people are built different.

The date on the article means nothing, because the information had been published before in other news sources. This article just republished old news with a new date.
I feel with you though, you didn’t know that.

I think saying “keep turning the component to the west” wouldn’t really work.

I think you missunderstood. What they’re saying is using AI is still based on human creativity. A human comes up with a creative idea and uses a brush or an AI to visualize the idea. This opinion is built on belief that creative thinking is the heartof art and is more important than the physical process of crafting, the technique one uses to express the idea. There can be duscussions about that, of course.

This is a briliant question. I know of a research focused on the positive aspect. Participants, who got to play a game in which they were a superhero and helped people, were immediately afterwards much less hesitant to help (in a staged small accident that happened during the final talk with the examiner). So it seems you could get into habit of helping. I suppose it could work the other way aroud as well and you could build a habit of being selfish and not caring by playing such people. But I suppose most actors don’t play only vilains all the time and have good habits outside the role. Also, playing a vilain can certainly help you connect to and understand your darker sides, which is a great way of getting control of them.

I agree wholeheartedly. At the same time I feel with the OP. When you’re interested in child related topics, there’s no way to escape the child hate. It’s very prevalent.

I think it is perfectly ok to hate shitty parents. But it seems to me that many people really hate the children, not their parents. Many of them also tend to generalize and hate all children in a simple children-bad manner. I often see people who are not afraid to say they just hate children. I find those people in all groups - some of them are childless, some of them are good parents and some are the shitty ones. It seems to be the popular edgy thing to say.

Yes, you can build tolerance to cold temperatures by slow gradual exposure to them. Using cold water at the end of showering and wearing one Layer of clothes less to feel slightly cool (but not freezing) works well. Aside of cold tolerance, the benefits include boosting your imune system, turning your white fat into Brown fat, which is able to burn calories (and make heat from them, that’s why you feel warmer) and lowering inflammation in your body.
