    That’s a really reductive oversimplification of the situation.

    How does it account for PTSD sufferers at all?

      That’s nothing to do with it…

      You could just as well ask how it accounts for penguins riding unicycles.

      The only brain change with PTSD is the hippocampus, they’ve explicitly looked for changes to the amygdala and there isn’t any.

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3647246/

      If you want to split hairs, there is a statistically insignificant change, but that makes it smaller.

          Maybe you should have explicitly stated your point?

          And I don’t see anything in your link about subsequent changes to size or activity of the prefrontal cortex due to PTSD.

          Although I admittedly just skimmed it.

          So if that links backs up your argument (whatever that was) please link the relevant part.

            Or maybe you should try engaging others in good faith instead of getting defensive someone challenged a notion that makes you feel superior to conservatives.

            Come back when you’re willing to. Blocked.

              Soooo…if you blocked him, how is he going to come back when he’s willing to talk? Lol.

                The blocking feature on Lemmy is as broken as Reddit and he can still reply to my messages whenever he wants, I just can’t see it.

                Which is beef #56484783 I have with Lemmy. What I said should be silly, but it’s not, because the core software doesn’t fix the issues Reddit had especially with blocking. Blocking should give one the last word, but it doesn’t.

                And that’s ignoring the fact that block evading is trivially easy as he can just bounce back here with an account on another instance, and even if a mod bans him, he can keep coming back with VPNs.

                Lemmy as a platform is so fucked.

                  Oh man, you could have actually tried to explain why you think that article was relevant in the time it took you to type all that…

                  You don’t even know how blocking works.

                  It just blocks you from seeing my comments in the wild. Because that’s what blocking means.

                  It doesn’t stop me from seeing and replying to your comments, because I haven’t blocked you.

                  What is a glitch, is you still get this notification

                I know right? I wouldn’t think “blocked” could get any more cringe, but here we are.

              You’re talking about arguing in good faith when your response to his comment about neural plasticity was “BUT WHAT ABOUT PTSD! CHECKMATE” as though you caught him in a gotcha moment and were so excited to dunk on him you forgot what the argument was even about z.

              PTSD has nothing to do with the discussion. So all I can glean for this interaction is that you wanted to fight so you could get pissy and block someone.

              Sound about right? Honestly idc. Blocked.

              Oh ok, so that was just a random article you didn’t read first, and it had nothing to do with what was being talked about…

              It does help that everytime I mention this stuff, there’s someone champing at the bit to give the class an example.

              You’ve unironically helped me out a lot, thanks!
