Most people never get past Kohlberg Stage 4.

You're right, but the flip side is that men are actively shamed for pursuing their own evolutionary incentives. There are two layers of competition going on, the sexual-economic one and the fluffy interpersonal one, but some people gain leverage by maintaining the fiction that one of them is obsolete. This fiction is enforced by calling everyone who notices it a misogynist or an incel.

You're thinking of a blind study, strictly speaking a placebo is simply any pharmaceutically inert substance. You can take a placebo knowingly and in fact knowing that it's not medicine doesn't stop you from getting the benefits of the placebo effect.

From a distance you can sort of see what the were going for, but looking at it up close it's dumb ugly. I imagine they thought they were being clever and minimal with the straight lines and utter lack of subtlety, but the result is just clunky and inept. It's like a child's crude drawing, and the fact that adults actually made this is absurd. It reminds me of TARS from Interstellar, which is another design people inexplicably praised.

I probably hate this even more for the fact that I adore the angular Fiero/Lambo/DeLorean/Blade Runner aesthetic. This is such a poorly botched, cluelessly literal interpretation of that.

"Z-ball" seems to be the common name

I think you're too worried about that. I saw plenty of weird fetish shit on forums in my teens and I think I turned out okay, plus a preparedness to accept the breadth of weirdness in humanity. The main thing you should care about is teaching your daughter to recognize clickbait and worthless content.

Even a "link changed" or a cross symbol or any kind of indicator would be nice!

Even just navigating to an album or browsing songs saved on your device are awful. Everything I want to do in their app requires far too many clicks or endless scrolling through a list that's only sorted alphabetically, and the pages are stuffed with features that push their algorithmic promotions. You're not gonna have a good time unless you're the most mindless, passive consumer and you don't want to bother with managing your library or making any choices of your own.

Saving songs is spotty too, some of the "saved" songs on my phone don't actually have the data and won't play when I'm offline. I can't figure out how to force them to redownload short of maybe uninstalling the app, so sucks to be me I guess. Spotify's mobile app is so bad that I'm constantly reconsidering my subscription. I'd go so far as to say that being able to explore new artists and save their discography for later when I'm commuting is a meaningful improvement to my quality of life, but Spotify has managed to make the experience so shitty that I usually just turn on the radio instead.

It's also the entire cost of a console these days. The current status quo is a better comparison than a different service where cutting it out entirely is a meme due to ludicrous cost and subpar value.

>Rebekah has traveled the world apprenticing and studying under many Master Students, such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mother Nature herself, and is committed to creating an educational community that fosters growth in humans' minds, bodies, and souls elevating the collective consciousness of the world.

Sounds like a vanity project for the CEO's wife.

It should be noted that it seems to have had a remarkably short lifespan between hitting the mainstream and being widely used to mock the people who use it unironically. For context to this observation, my bias is that I think its straightforward meaning is mainly for confrontational moral grandstanders to signal their blue-tribe affiliation.
