Iraglassceiling [she/her]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Sugar really as addictive as Cocaine/drugs in general?English28·2 years agoSugar addiction is not the same as a drug that causes physiologic dependence, like cocaine or opiates.
But
You can become addicted to sugar, or anything that makes you feel good, because you’re basically hacking into the cocaine repository that’s already in your brain. Anything that triggers a hit of dopamine and/or noradrenaline - gambling, shopping, sex, food, weed - can cause addictive behavior, but you’re essentially addicted to your own neurotransmitters and not the thing itself.

Iraglassceiling [she/her]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What to do when cat keeps shifting infront of the litterboxEnglish2·2 years agoThis is generally good advice but I’d use https://us.feliway.com/products/feliway-classic-spray-60ml?variant=33417856155783 (If it’s available in your region) to spray on the spots instead of vinegar. Cats don’t typically eliminate where they’ve scent marked, and the spray is full of marking pheromones from their feet.

Iraglassceiling [she/her]@hexbear.netto Labour@hexbear.net•First International Syndicalist Congress (1913) - New General Megathread for the 26th of September 2023English10·2 years agoHey y’all I need help, does anyone drive a Mazda 6?
Can someone tell me roughly the window dimensions? I’m making vinyl decals to help someone find a kidney donor and I can’t find ANYWHERE that has the dimensions of the windows.

Iraglassceiling [she/her]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?English61·2 years agoWhat an interesting question!
I was raised Protestant by an exmo and a lapsed catholic. I still like some of the music, and I think a lot of Christian mythology is really interesting. Jesus occupies a “cool dude” role in my belief system, but he’s not the main focus.
I was a pretty devout practicing pagan for a while after leaving Christianity.
Now I just kinda do my own thing, loosely cribbed from the parts of Christianity that I like and some chaos magic stuff and some kemeticism and whatever else seems cool. I kinda focus on nonduality and go from there.
I really enjoy the idea of ritualistic worship, but that attraction feels like the kind of chemical attraction in my brain that would have taken place whether I was raised in a church or not.

I don’t know if people know that or not.

Iraglassceiling [she/her]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] Why do stories have such effect on us?English65·2 years agoHer writing is awful, wooden, and stilted. Her dialogue is painful. Her characters are boring at best and outright racist stereotypes at worst.
She either doesn’t know how to write skillfully or chooses not to. I figured the former was more charitable.

They have an episode where they talk about the birthday paradox and then follow it up with talking about how the math isn’t 100% correct as applied to humans bc birthdays aren’t normally distributed.
