  • The comments that already exist are pretty good but I’d like to bring up that I dont think it’s all that unique to Europe. Look at imperial Japan, for instance. I haven’t witnessed this myself, but I hear Korea has some cultural resentment towards Japan (particularly from older folk) thats not unlike how some affected cultures feel about their former European colonizers.


  • Experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and having low-moderate social support from any source was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation. Social support from family moderated the association between experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and suicidal ideation (p interaction = 0.01); however, even in the presence of high family social support, experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation.

    n = 1608 on this one.

    Every study I’ve ever seen that looks at the link between social support and depression/suicidal thoughts in trans people shows a very clear link. Given the prevalence of transphobia in our society, this can entirely explain the increase in suicidal thoughts in trans people.

    So the thing that gets weird is that the heavier the particle is the more likely it is to interact with the slits themselves on the way through, in which case the wavefunction will collapse and it will seem to go through only one slit. Also, as the other person stated, even a hydrogen atom is really 4 fundamental particles that can interact with eachother. I’m not totally sure if double slit has been demonstrated with atoms but I do know it’s been done many times with electrons.

    Edit: its actually totally possible to do it with much, much larger things. From wikipedia:

    The experiment can be done with entities much larger than electrons and photons, although it becomes more difficult as size increases. The largest entities for which the double-slit experiment has been performed were molecules that each comprised 2000 atoms

    And here’s the study that did it: https://doi.org/10.1038%2Fs41567-019-0663-9

    Ehh, its a bit more than that.

    Its a particle in that we know they are quantized into single photons. As in, it is impossible to observe half of a photon, or any non-integer number of photons, and one photon can only be observed in one place. This makes it like a particle.

    But its a wave in the way it behaves - it can interfere (not just with other photons, with itself), and its movement can only be described through wave functions that can even take seperate paths at the same time, according to how waves propogate.

    And, there are ways in which they act like particles no matter how they are observed, and same for wavelike behavior

    Worth noting: “observation” is just physical measurement. You have to keep in mind that observing something fundamentally requires interacting with it - in order to look at an apple, photons must bounce off of it, which is a physical interaction. On the quantum scale, these interactions cannot be ignored.

    Also also: this isn’t just photons, everything is like this. It may not align with how we observe things on a macroscopic scale, but this is fundamentally how the universe works.








  • btop for sure. Shows current processes and their resources usage, us can terminate and kill them from the program kinda like windoes task manager, shows CPU usage/temp, and ram, storage, and network use. Only big thing it doesnt have that I use is GPU monitoring, I use nvtop for that.

    For stress testing, mprime is def best for CPU stress test. You may know it as prime95 on windows.
