???

except:

  • lots of land
  • feed (which requires a LOT of land)
  • massive amounts of water
  • insane amounts of antibiotics and assorted other medicine
  • stupid amounts of electricity
  • etc.

raising cattle on a commercial scale requires mind boggling resources!

every single study on environmental impacts of food production lists beef as the number 1 worst food source in terms of environmental impacts period.

"Raising cattle doesn't require anything." - yeah, in fantasy land.

in case you actually want to know the answer:

it's the avocado being shipped. and by, like, a mile and a half. it's not even close.

raising cattle is the single most energy, water, and CO2 intensive food production there currently is.

and your source measured the effects of one single area that cathartic theory is supposed to apply to, not all of them.

your source does in no way support the claim that the observed effects apply to anything other than aggressive behavior.

i understand that the theory supposedly applies to other areas as well, but as you so helpfully pointed out: the theory doesn't seem to hold up.

so either A: the theory is wrong, and so the association between aggression and sexuality needs to be called into question also;

or B: the theory isn't wrong after all.

you are now claiming that the theory is wrong, but at the same time, the theory is totally correct! (when it's convenient to you, that is)

so which is it now? is the theory correct? then your source must be ~~wrong~~ irrelevant.

or is the theory wrong? then the claim of a link between sexuality and aggression is also without support, until you provide a source for that claim.

you can't have it both ways, but you're sure trying to.

you made the claim that the cathartic hypothesis is poorly supported by evidence, which you source supports, but is not relevant to the topic at hand.

your other claim is that sexual release follows the same patterns as aggression. that's a pretty big claim! i'd like to see a source that supports that claim.

otherwise you've just provided a source that provides sound evidence, but is also entirely off-topic...

[–] 9bananas@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (5 children)

your source is exclusively about aggressive behavior...

it uses the term "arousal", which is not referring to sexual arousal, but rather a state of heightened agitation.

provide an actual source in support of your claim, or stop spreading misinformation.

well, rimworld does have a focus on (micro)management and strategy!

if your pawns are constantly down due to raiders, then you need better defenses! ...or tame a herd of animals and release those at your enemies! (rhinos work very well for this!)

there are tons of little optimizations you can make to efficiently run a colony. for example, social fights: you can keep those from happening by keeping the problematic pawns in different areas! or removing one or both of their tongues! or sending one on basically permanent caravan missions! etc., etc.

this kind of deep strategizing, combined with the random bullshit the game throws at you, is mostly why people love rimworld!

and mods... definitely get mods! that's where the game reeeaaally shines!

re: rimworld

it's really important to read the messages and the little bits (like the logs when a social fight occurs) to really get immersed in the story!

might be worth watching some YouTubers playing to see what i mean!

hazzor usually does a good job of getting into the story, so does ambiguousAmphibian

but as the others said: if it's really not for you, then it's just not for you!

maybe read the dark profit saga then!

kinda terry prathett vibe with a more modern style, first one is called "Orconomics"

amazing trilogy, highly recommended!

the information age is easy: the silicon age!

not sure about the space age...maybe titanium age? that's about the time we figured out how to machine titanium on large scales, and for highly specialized, extreme applications (talking about the SR-71 here, mostly). could also call it the alloy age, since a number of important alloys were discovered around that time

steam deleted a LOT of reviews on the overwatch page at some point (probably repeatedly, probably an automated system).

their "anti-review-bombing" measures sure love to fire when even when the community does have legitimate complaints.

so overwatch hasn't gotten better, they just keep deleting some of the negative reviews...

"debunking" requires a source... otherwise they just put forth a claim

thank you for posting!

I've been looking for something like this, and judging by the inclusions on this list I've already read, I'm guessing I'll enjoy most of the others as well!

now I'll be busy for the foreseeable future, which is nice :)
