    Thanks for the advice! I haven't actually made gauges before, so I should probably start. I like your idea of practicing with potholders and rags.

    I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was younger. He hyped it up so much, but I thought it was pretty good. I should rewatch it again to better understand the philosophical ideas, and really have a better understanding of writing and acting. One thing that really stood out to me as a kid was there were only a couple backgrounds, which was pretty impressive. Props to the writers for making it work

    I'm a beginner, doing it on and off for a few years. It's definitely addicting and fun to do as I watch TV. I feel like I struggle to learn to learn though. I've looked at basic patterns but it never seems to come out right. I might try to use youtube videos.

    Any advice to a newbie, wanting to improve?

    There's videos, and I'm sure images will come up at some point. That being said, there are valid reasons for not including it

    True, and that's why I don't really mind not having it as an option. I suppose this is a fair reason for not including it

    I think having a button to expand media on the main page. I've seen it on Reddit, and think it could be useful instead of clicking on the link to view the entire post. It gives you a way to skim things. The only downside I can think of is it might limit engagement since you won't see the comments.

    Yeah as a gen psych student part of our grade was doing 5 points of being a research subject, so we ended up taking part in about 2 or 3 studies. Also a lot of studies have some reward like a small gift card or something similar. I also wondered how this skewed data.

    After some time studying in college, I've noticed that with psychology a lot of things are now a mix of genetics and environment. It's interesting to see this get confirmed. It also makes me wonder what other studies could be changed due to having people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Just another reason researchers should be mindful of their samples.
