  • Hey a dopamine hit is a dopamine hit. Someone liking your post enough to upvote it is basically getting an internet first-bump. It’s not much, but getting that approval from people does feel good.

    …we all have the super-power of literally administering a tiny dose of dopamine to nearly anyone in the world.







  • …does anyone else remember that kit that was kind of the easy-bake-oven but marketed to little boys; it was this mad scientist kinda thing around when Goosebumps was popular, and you’d make your own candies by mixing little packets together, then mold them into spiders and brains and shit like that.

    The brain stuff in particular was this fruity foamy gunk that I swear was the best tasting junk food that has ever or will ever hit the market. I was also probably like 5 y/o, so grain of salt.







  • Yeah, some employers are really stupid about it. They treat it like a crystal ball. I’m not an expert in psychology, so the best I got is second-hand insight, but one of the perks of working in a hospital is I get to routinely pick brains that are a lot smarter than mine, to include a couple of psych PhD’s: ask them about the Myers Briggs and they immediately start ranting about how it’s pseodo-science bullshit. And some doctors do rant about shit outside their scope of expertise, which pretty well puts them at the same level of idiocy as the rest of us (i.e., if your ortho doc starts raving about how vaccines cause autism, the MD on his badge carries literally zero weight: he knows the fuck out of bones, but until proven otherwise it’s best to assume he got his education on vaccines from Fox news). But when experts in psych bitch about psych stuff, I take that at face value.
