Do you take a lot of naps?

If so, you're more likely to get dementia.

Not since I started using a CPAP. Now I get good sleep at night and don't need naps.

Energy vampires at work.

I have two and I named them "Doom and Gloom" a year ago. Their negativity absolutely drains me. Then there's a talker...the dude cannot read social cues or body language. I will, literally, walk away from him while he's talking and he'll just follow me to my office continuing to talk.

Really, a whole article without mentioning this guy?

At any rate, yeah, I've had these in past companies. I remember one of them, in a job I took in 2002. When they were announcing the financial awards for people who had lost close ones in 9/11, he said "Man, I wish I had had someone died in 9/11"

Kinda funny that in the show "What We Do in Shadows," a light comedy about vampires, "Energy Vampires" are a legit thing and that's what they do.

edit - Oh fuck that's what I get for not clicking on video links.

New study says depression not caused by chemical imbalance and antidepressants do nothing.

Who funded this study, Scientology?

It is causing quite a debate on the Twitters were people like Tulsi Gabbard are claiming greed by Big Pharma, while actual doctors are telling people there are issues with this study and hundreds more have proven antidepressants work.

Literally half of medical research is deliberate fraud. The other half is irreproducible cargo-cult junk science.

Nobody knows anything.

Taking a daily stroll can keep you from going coo coo for coco puffs.

Today, just for the sake of my own mental health, I've closed the following tabs: CNN, Yahoo, Twitter, Imgur, and Facebook. I've still got four things I'll post from stories I had open yesterday, but I believe I need a day off from the cultists. Let them reveal in their victory or claim the country is doomed in their defeat.

Psychology Today article claiming scientific laws in psychology.

That's not how scientific laws work...

Hey, the science is settled. Who are you to question it.

White Liberals are far more likely to have mental health issues than their counterparts.

These are self-reported, so not really fair, but it does line up with other studies that have said the same.

To be fair, it starts with medical diagnoses, which conservatives wouldn't bother getting. Differences are much more modest (but still present) when you look at self-reported mental health state.

If you want to get really fair, one side believes in a sky wizard and a book written thousands of years ago by Anonymous. The other side produces conversations like the one below and thinks women have dicks and men can get pregnant.

They're all fucking nuts.

This is for all you fucking dicklickers who think swearing is a sign of stupidity.

Staying on the tit longer means better brain development and better grades.

Who would have thought? Nature's baby food is better than horseshit created in a lab?
