  • This hurts to read. As a lefty, I read these “studies” my whole life. The statistic that doesn’t show here is the one I remember most: that lefties are much more likely to commit suicide than righties. Also none of these mention the sociological factors here. How until very(!) recently, lots of people were forced into right-handedness by schools or church. I would guess that this plays a big part in these numbers. Especially when viewing the gendered handedness. Would be interesting to examine that more.










  • it’s interesting how many comments show that people like to read the headline and are content with that to form an opinion. literally the first paragraph says that it’s not “THERE ARE NO POSTS” but it says that the “feed is swamped by a combination of perfectly curated photos and professionally created content.” - the problem is that the paid content creators have become GOOD. so many of them really look like they are just opinions and casual mentions of movies/clothes/…things. viral marketing is really at a point where so many fronts that have been established have been broken down in the guise of “irony” or “sarcasm”. “I’m only buying the Barbie merch ironically” etc.
