Look how cute new game I got! 😍
It's called Shallow Sea, and you build a coral reef ecosystem in it. We've not tested it yet. 😊

Reading psychology papers (PP) on video games (VG) can sometimes be a weird experience (WE). This WE stems from VG-related PPs (VGPP) frequent use of abbreviations (FUA), this FUA resulting in a reduction in readability (RR) of VGPP with very little apparent gain (VLAG).

Hey, people with PhDs!
Do you feel that other people's degrees are totally legit, but *your* PhD is somehow fake or substandard and should not have been accepted?
I wonder how common that is. Is there research on this particular flavour of imposter syndrome?

My new hobby: Asking people who talk about AI to define what exactly they are talking about. Neural networks? Lange language models? Bayesian inference tools?
The language even scientists use around modern computational methods is absurdly fluffy.

I've never felt threatened or unsafe around a trans woman. I have, many times, felt scared around men. No, it's not all men, but, yes, it is almost always men.

(1/3) Recently, I visited London at my own expense to discuss modelling possibilities with a rather loose agenda. I explained this to some friends later, saying a bit apologetically, "It was like part work and part fun, it's just so much fun to talk science without strict requirements to deliver".
