Reply to comment by MostBotsAreBad in A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8

You don't need studies to rebutt such people. Don't try to defemd an utterly pointless study that someone though is worth sharing.

Reply to comment by bkydx in The brain can rapidly detect and process fearful faces that are otherwise invisible to the eye. There appears to be a neural pathway for detection of fear, which operates automatically, outside of conscious awareness. by Wagamaga

The visual stimulus was 100% perceptible by vision. What other means could have possibly been used to pass that information to the subconscious? 6th sense?

As for the impirtance of "normal parlance", I refer you to Wittgenstein, §43 of Philosophical Investigations: “The meaning of a word is its use in the language"

Why would you muddle things like that? Not visible to the eye and not perceptible by the mind are the same only for people who know nothing about how the brain works.

Even if you ignore the subconscious, "Invisible to me", "difficult to see", or "invisible when I look this way" are more appropriate, when you talk about things you fail to perceive, but that are there for others to see, e.g. when zooming in or playing sonethin in slow motion.

Why is the term "invisible" used so casually and without qualification in this study? My understanding is that it means "not consciously perceptible", which is a completely differemt thing that "invisible", in normal parlance.

Reply to Which of the food that pair with lemon pair well together [OC] by bigslimjim91

We use lemon extensively in Greek cuisine, but never with any of the veggies here. Potatoes, rice, spinach, leeks, meat, fish, even fried cheese (not feta) would be there for us. Certainly never on tomatoes, which are acidic enough on their own.

Edit: On Kale and artichoke yes, only theur're not that common.

Reply to Survey on 12,000 secondary school-aged students (12-18Y) shows that although many adolescents are spending considerable time gaming (at least 3.5hours/day),it is not having a negative impact on the wellbeing and 44% of ‘heavy’ gamers reported higher wellbeing than those who play less or don’t play by giuliomagnifico

Gaming isn't a single experience. Studies need to look more closely into the type of games played, whether they are social or not, whether the player is competitive or not and more. E.g. Playing the same game together with friends (not in the same space) is primarily a social activity, that has helped my son tremendously through multiple moves between countries and through the covid lockdown. I on the other hand stay as far away as possible from multiplayer games, so my experiences with gamong are completely different.
