Gum chewing and focus: does it actually work? in Psychology ·
A few of my girls from college were running this study just the other day about tackling repetitive tasks while chewing gum. Since I was stuck in the control group, I didn't get to hear firsthand what those folks in the experimental group were actually saying, but based on what I saw, their results—you know, the ones who were chewing gum while grinding through those monotonous tasks—should have actually come out ahead. If I really need the specifics, I can always corner them and demand a full breakdown of the data 😁

Vettel has managed to edge ahead once again, but Button is breathing down his neck. If the weather stays clear and those stars align for a dry track, the sheer pace shown by McLaren suggests we are in for a spectacular race tomorrow.
It seems Massa is starting to consistently outpace Alonso. One has to wonder: is Ferrari simply incapable of breaking into the top four during qualifying sessions?
As for Webber, he is performing exactly as expected; he always demonstrates the true strength of Red Bull during the race and will likely fight tooth and nail for a spot on the podium.

What on earth happened with Rosberg? Schumacher looks absolutely brilliant in 7th, whereas where would Rosberg have landed if he hadn't faltered? Perhaps a position or two right there alongside him?

He told the BBC that he ran into some hydraulic issues, and since those things are such a nightmare to fix, they just didn't have enough time to get it sorted before he could even attempt a decent lap in the first session. He finally rolled out of the garage, but he couldn't even complete a single lap before they had to haul him straight back into the pits.
The Princess and the Frog in Movies ·
Honestly, this might even be the worst Disney movie they've done using that old-school formula, IMO. It just lacked... what? That spark? The songs aren't memorable enough, the plot is poorly executed, and the whole vibe feels incredibly lukewarm. What a massive disappointment, especially since I was actually looking forward to it.

I genuinely love being a woman. I love my strength, and I love those specific instincts that kick in—that drive to pour emotion into someone, to protect them, to be their rock, to be completely raw and sincere... just in that uniquely feminine way. I love how women operate. Sure, some women don't get it right, and there are certain types out there who can't even wrap their heads around basic stuff, which honestly makes me embarrassed to even be associated with them, but the real ones? Man, that’s something else entirely..

And what exactly defines a "real woman" to you? Are we talking about some weak, overly emotional type who constantly begs for attention and falls apart without it? Because if that’s your standard, honestly, no thanks.

OT: I’d love to experience life through a different lens—just like someone mentioned earlier, I’d love to know what it’s like to be an African American, a Japanese person, or an Australian; or to live as an astronaut, a painter, or a mathematician. I’m perfectly happy being myself, and gender doesn't play into that at all. In this day and age, there isn't nearly as much discrimination as there used to be. If anything, I feel like I run into misandry more often than misogyny lately.🤷 It’s just plain stupid when people on both sides keep pointing fingers and blaming each other for their differences.

Anyway, it would be a fascinating experiment for a while, though I have no idea how long I could sustain it before wanting my own life back.🤷
Joanna Newsom in Music ·
Adam Moore said:WHERE IS THE PASSION, YOU BORE?! I listened to three tracks and honestly, I feel betrayed... 🙂 Joanna Newsom's vibes have gone totally downhill. Ugh!

Exactly! This new album is just so... pedestrian 😢

I don't even have the slightest desire to give it another spin. I'm just going to pretend this thing doesn't even exist and stick to the previous two 😁
