Are the Jurassic Park sequels the biggest collection of dogshit of any movie franchise? (Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers)
Are the Jurassic Park sequels the biggest collection of dogshit of any movie franchise? (Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers) - Lemmy.World
Usually when a franchise gets 5+ sequels at least one is pretty good, but none of the JP sequels have been. ::: spoiler Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers And this latest one with ScarJo was particularly bad; they took the Star Wars 7-9 approach where they copy and paste scenes from the original movie and weave a slightly different story around them. Meanwhile the few “new” things they added were thinly veiled shots at the audience “no one is interested in these creatures anymore so we have to invent hybrids”… and the hybrid they created was basically a Rancor from Star Wars. (Also wtf does the title “rebirth” have anything to do with what happened in the movie? It’s all about collecting dino blood for Pharma research into human heart disease medication. Nothing is “reborn” at all.) :::

When Skeptics Disagree | Steve Novella - Lemmy.World
Jan 14, 2025 Skeptics should largely agree about what science says, but that’s not always the case. Exploring when and why skeptics disagree may be illuminating. In this talk, Steven Novella dives into a series of topics where skeptics disagree amongst each other. Steven Novella is the host and producer of The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, a popular and award-winning weekly science podcast. He is an internationally known author of three books on science and critical thinking and science communicator with multiple TV appearances and two popular blogs (NeuroLogica and Science-Based Medicine). This talk took place on October 25, 2024

i will talk to my doctor about this of course but just wanted to collect my thoughts and seek out some other experiences before my next appointment. Sorry for such a long post, I guess the TLDR is I’m not sure if I lack the ability to focus enough to have ADHD. Since I got the results i have been reading and listening to a lot of stuff about adhd. I am still quite conflicted about whether or not I actually have it. I’ll be reading one article and think “that’s TOTALLY me, I definitely have ADHD”. But then I go read a different article and think “hm that does not sound like me at all”. For example I am reading the book How to ADHD, and in it she says: >According to Hallowell, if you, an attention-challenged person, abandon all the distractions of modernity, go live on a farm, and finally find peace, you don’t have ADHD. If, instead, you show up to the farm and get so bored you decide to build a carnival—congratulations, you are one of us. Like… I would absolutely not have the energy or motivation to build anything like a carnival. I would of course occupy myself with other things, I guess reading or playing guitar or listening to music, but isn’t that basically normal? I’m just not sure how to interpret this. Is this more applicable to “hyperactive” people, maybe not so much for “inattentive” people? One thing i know for sure is i’m not the hyperactive type, so if anything i am the inattentive type. some traits i have seen around I have absolutely struggled with from middle school at least (i am 40 so trying to think back before high school is a bit fuzzy): - Severe motivation deficit/procrastination, particularly for tedious tasks and long-term projects - poor long term planning/project management (even gives me some anxiety just thinking about) - poor long term time perception (like I’ll intend to think about and purchase Christmas gifts, but then it’s too late) - Not great attention to detail, and I feel like I can sometimes jump to conclusions - Some trouble finishing “last 5%” - poor sleep hygiene. i actually fall asleep and stay asleep fine but it’s hard for me to put myself to bed at a good time and wake up in the morning. mornings have been hell my entire life. I’m not sure if those things alone qualify me as adhd, or if the degree they affect me are bad enough to “count” (not sure what a better word for that is). My whole life i have felt extremely lazy and low energy, but once i get over that initial (major) motivation problem i feel like i can focus fine and get stuff done. Is that what “hyper focus” is? Or does that more likely mean I don’t actually have ADHD? Thanks for reading and any feedback is welcome.
even better clip here form the same episode but it’s a mix of three people:
