Social Pain (rejection) and physical pain overlap parts of the same pain neural pathway, and acetaminophen (paracetamol) alleviate social pain. Proof of social pain hurts as much as physical pain - Lemmy.World
Social pain (psychache), such as ostracisation/rejection/bullying, can hurt as much as physical pain. Forgiveness and acetaminophen have interactive effects on experiences of social pain. Telling victims to just “let it go” is just like telling patients recovering surgery to tolerate pains without pain killers.

Any graduate from the top South Korea universities are guaranteed to be the “elites”. Chung Sun-nin was able to reduce his son punishment to “reduce 1 point” from the university entrance exam test score. His son got almost full score.

Update: I was harassed at work. I am filling a report and I am scared as hell - Lemmy.World
Original post: https://lemmy.world/post/38350973 [https://lemmy.world/post/38350973] I hope update is allowed. Today I talked to my boss. Surprisingly, she was very accepting. I told her what happened over the weekend the aggressor and I worked. How the aggressor was passively aggressively rude to me. She was laterally commanding me (“Go home!”,"Go eat!) when she was just my peer, my equal, not my boss. She was constantly over my shoulder trying to catch my mistakes. When i did, she would sneer. She thrives on the power of superiority. That just made me unable to focus. When I didn’t make mistake, she looked like a dear caught in headlights. She was harassing me to the point I couldn’t concentrate. My boss asked if I noticed any interaction between the aggressor and my co-workers. Luckily, I did remember and I told her! Yes, I have proofs. I am a popular person. I even told my boss to ask anyone at work and they would back me up. This how confident I was. Needless to say. The bully is not so brave now. Lesson learned. Speak up! I wasn’t going to tell my boss until I learned that I wasn’t the only victim. Silence is not the answer.
I was harassed at work and I am going to file a complaint on Friday. I am scared as hell.

Over the weekend, I worked with a well known harasser and she kept giving me passive aggressive comments to the point I couldn’t focus. She even texted me, “What is your compacity to work?” What’s even supposed to mean? I am not a lazy person. I am very hardworking and i am very likable and popular. Today I talked to my team leader and she told me to file a complaint to my manager on Friday. I am scared as hell. The bully has been there since day one and I am new. I don’t mind getting fired but someone needs to speak up. This will be the first time I will be filling a complaint. I work in a state with no anti bullying protection. People can be fired at will. I am not of any “protection” group. The only thing I have is I am very popular
American Christian are the same as Pharisees. They just don't know the word, "Pharisees" since most of them don't really read the Bible. They bear bad fruit and witnesses, and that's is no denial.

TIL dogs provide more support than most human, including romantic partners, except children. - Lemmy.World
Participants (N = 717) characterized their relationships with their dog and four human partners: closest kin, romantic partner, best friend, and child, using the Network of Relationships Inventory. The results showed that owners reported greater satisfaction with their dogs than with any human partner except their child. They received more Support from dogs than from any human partner except their child and experienced fewer Negative Interactions with their dogs compared to any human partner, except their best friend. Overall, the relationship with the dog provided high Companionship, opportunities for Nurturance, and minimal Negative Interactions. This may stem from the fact that the dog-human relationship features a more asymmetric power dynamic than human relationships – i.e., owners have full control over the dog’s life

TIL Hans Litten, a courageous Berlin attorney, tried to charge Hitler with criminal offenses. Once Hitler gained power, he sent Litten to concentration camp. Litten eventually ended his life. - Lemmy.World
Today I learned, In 1931, an exceptionally talented young Berlin attorney named Hans Litten summoned Adolf Hitler to testify in a criminal case. Litten represented four victims of a brutal assault perpetrated by members of Hitler’s Sturmabteilung, or SA, on a dance hall frequented by leftist workers; by the time the assault ended, three people were dead. At trial, the defense sought to portray the SA as a disciplined political organization, under orders from Hitler to use force only as self-defense. In his three-hour cross-examination of the head of the Nazi party, Litten managed what precious few dared to attempt. Hitler had expected the young lawyer to be intimidated; instead, Litten aggressively and skillfully dissected him under oath, reducing the supposedly gifted orator to a stammering rage. In trapping Hitler in contradictions and exposing him as an inveterate liar, Litten also made clear the Nazis’ goal of destroying the Weimar Republic. Hitler left the witness stand rattled and humiliated, henceforth forbidding Litten’s name to be uttered in his presence. Hitler’s revenge came two years later, barely a month after he had been installed in power. In the wake of the Reichstag fire – an arson attack on the parliament building – and relying on a hastily drafted emergency decree for the “protection of people and state”, Hitler ordered the arrest and “protective custody” of numerous perceived political enemies, including Litten. Over the next five years, as he was shuttled from concentration camp to concentration camp, Litten was repeatedly beaten and tortured. In 1938, with no prospect of release, he took his own life. His crime: trying to protect the role of law and a constitutional democracy from a would-be authoritarian. The United States in 2025 is not Germany in 1933. That said, Litten’s experience has a disturbingly familiar ring. Last week, the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of Virginia (EDVA) announced that the former FBI director James Comey had been indicted for allegedly lying under oath to a congressional committee. The case against Comey is so flimsy that Erik Siebert, Trump’s hand-picked chief federal prosecutor for the post, balked at filing charges. Siebert’s fair assessment predictably earned him the ire of the president. “I want him out,” Trump fumed, and so Siebert resigned before he could be fired, vacating the position he had occupied for barely eight months
