What's the most recent word you learned? Anonymous 325734[Reply]

It's never a bad time to expand your vocabulary. Share with us new words as you learn them.
My most recent word is "freshet".
>A freshet is a snowmelt, an annual high water event on rivers resulting from snow and river ice melting.

Anonymous 325735

Honestly I often see new words but I can't ever memorize them really because they're just another word for a thing I know.
I guess undulating or germinate.
>Undulating (adjective) describes something that moves, looks, or is shaped in a smooth, gentle, wavelike motion or form
From a book on Fourier transform
>To germinate means to begin to grow or develop

>Salience
Salience (also called saliency, from Latin saliō meaning "leap, spring") is the property by which some thing stands out.
>Irascibility
Very susceptible of anger; easily provoked or inflamed with resentment
>Calumnia
slander, libel, or false accusation
>Adulation
Servile flattery; excessive or unmerited praise; exaggerated compliment
>Amaranthine
Eternally beautiful and unfading; everlasting. Deep purple-red
>Sojourn
A short stay somewhere. A temporary residence.
>Metanoia
Derived from the Greek roots meta (change/after) and νοέω (to think/perceive), it literally translates to "to think again" or "afterthought." Modern definitions include a transformative change of heart and a spiritual conversion

Oh yeah I've also heard sailence a lot a while back. For example, schizotypal people and schizophrenics often tend to have problems with sailence because of their dopamine levels, this is also how their paranoia works (ie they overvalue random signals)

Science thread Anonymous 115805[Reply]

Since there's too much talk about moids in our boards, I decided that I should do my part and contribute something non-moid related. So I'm making this thread about science, maths are included as well of course. I personally think that the soft sciences are actually closer to the humanities than to the hard sciences, but in the spirit of avoiding a flame war, I'll try to avoid this point as much as I can from now on.

You can ask questions and discuss stuff about science here, I'll try to answer whatever I can and perhaps attempt to guide posters in the right direction if I'm not familiar with the topic. I'm a physicist by training but I have a basic understanding of general chemistry, geology and biology as well. I know the most about astrophysics and meteorology/climate stuff, I'm OK at mechanics, thermodynamics and quantum physics and not so great at electromagnetism, relativity and maths in general (as in, compared to a mathematician, for a physicist I'm average at maths). Sorry if that came off as a bit pedantic, I just wanted to let you know the kind of stuff I'm more likely to give good answers to.

So yeah, ask away!

Just heard something interesting from my nurse moid acquaintance who's staunchly against ssri's. (but is pro maoi's)
>Someone asked here why women tolerate SSRI's way better. This is thanks to estrogen. Higher serotonin transporter availability + estrogen downregulates 5ht1a autoreceptors and upregulates 5ht2a, thus accelerating postsynaptic transmission and causing less harm

Which explains quite a bit, like why men tend to be more anti-psychiatry and tend to make fun of women for often being on ssri's, even though they're not necessarily as bad for women. But this needs fact checking.

>While women achieve better therapeutic outcomes, they are 50–75% more likely to experience adverse side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and nausea
this might have something to do with their mockery, on top of their self-centredness

Alright, I found a gardening thread on /diy/. Some of these people use electronics for their potted plants, which I find interesting!
I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.

being good Anonymous 321419[Reply]

hello nonas. i have a genuine question. im a bit of a sperg so do not laugh: what is the purpose of being a good person or ontologically good if it brings more suffering on the good person, as being good leads to more cases where the person loses? why would anyone want to be the loser? and we instill ideas of goodness for some kind of deeper personal meaning anyway… why?

Being good does not mean you lose more often. If anything it's the opposite because being evil breeds resentment and contempt in those that surround you and maybe they decide to kill you for your actions

in what ways does being good bring more suffering on good people? if they lose because they donate too much money, for example, then the issue isn't having been good, it's with having no limit

Anonymous 325729

Being good doesn't mean you have to be a 100 percent selfless, you can be good and still put yourself first before others. You can't help others if you can't help yourself.

Yeah, a local field guide sounds like a good idea. I could ask a cousin of mine to give me some basic tips on birdwatching, she's always been interested on that and knows quite a bit. And maybe buy some second-hand binoculars. Otherwise I'll never get into that.

Franck Muller makes some weird watches, this one has the numbers all wrong but the hands actually follow the numbers correctly even if they aren't in order. I was considering buying a replica but, although they are much more affordable than originals,they are expensive as well (around 200€). So I will buy another Casio for 30€ when my current one gets broken.
