Why is psychology inferior to economics?
Why is economics nothing but badly applied psychology?

Does electroshock therapy really work or did I buy this collar for nothing?
yes but only on people did you try turning it off and on again?

Now, what exactly is it about Freud's whole pineapple that makes you hate him so deeply? I think you just have an Oedipus complex and don't want to admit it.
Most of the detestation is a running joke, I don't actually despise the creepy old man but I do have a few disagreements with his own conduct, his teachings and most of all how a lot of the psychodynamic theory is a steaming pile of horseshit. Simple example being the little hans story, kid is scared of horses because he saw one collapse in the street. This develops into agoraphobia because there are lots of horses in the town square etc. Is it because he saw something distressing i.e a horse collapsing and not getting up again and then his parents hamming the next step completely so that rather than overcoming the fear it gets worse? LOL no it's because horses have big dongers and he thinks the horse is his dad's donger and he's scared it will bite off his donger because he wants to insert kabob into his mum. I use silly words there but that is what he boiled it down to. My opinion of freud's shit is that it's fine for explaining mundane aspects of humanity and why people get perverted, but less useful for anything involving psychopathology (as in, worse than useless/placebo at best). I mean, what pineapple?

Why do I inevitably end up endlessly surfing TVtropes whenever I research anything at all?
Does it have anything to do with repressed sexual urges involving cyborgs?
Hmm, it's a time sink that draws you in because it's more interesting than the thing you are meant to be researching <.< Bit like cracked before it went down the toilet or wikipedia if you are desperate/on an internet filter. Then there is the whole idea that searching for new information that is interesting to you stimulates the release of dopamine or something like that as an evolutionary hangover from conditioning living things to enjoy foraging thus being more successful at it <.< And no it does not <_<

What will you do when someone comes to you and asks you to help then through some sort of fetish?
For the joke answer, I would politely excuse myself to fetch a document I forgot whilst I puke into a bin outside. For a more serious one, I've already helped someone out with something far worse than something like that. That kind of took the horror/shock out of anything like that through a baptism of fire as it were <_< It'd be gross sure, but ultimately you are helping someone to become halal which is the lord's work in itself.

Is psychology a pseudoscience?
Yes.
Yes, it is the king of pseudosciences. A science built on things that are not tangible but still real, or at least that's how they are perceived <_<

I played GTA V online and this guy said that Battlefield 4 is now inactive because of Hardline.
True?
Nah, both are doing fine on consoles, Hardline died on PC though.

How much time left for you now?
Before I get the xbox or before I die?
Let's not make me spell it out > >
Well I think I'll probably die in about 2000 years if I get the augmentations I want.
But the xbone should arrive sometime in the next week.
500GB or 1TB?
500GB, got the thing for £260 new, which is less than I planned to pay for it. An xbone isn't worth 300 to me at all, 280 was pushing it so finding it for 260 was good enough <.<
That's a good price, I will warn you now though-that 500 GB won't last you more than a year, two at the very most. I got mine Dec 2013 and by April this year I had been out of space for a couple of months, so I got a 3TB Hard Drive.
Hmm well my PS4's drive lasted right up until about two hours ago, then I deleted wolfenstein and a few games I never play and I have another 100gb free. I don't buy many games you see.
I've bought less than 15 games for my XB1, dem free games add up though. And my god, between BF4 and GTA V that's over 100GB gone.
Plus, i'm pretty sure for backwards compatibility the game has to be downloaded first-that'll take up some space methinks. Idk, personally I just like having space for years to come-especially as I still want a new controller (mine was one of the first lot, which means it's a bit rubbish)
Hmm true, I mostly just add them to my library now so that they are there to download whenever without bloating my HDD. I'm also inclined to think that buying a third party 3TB drive or something crazy will work out as cheaper in the long run than paying an extra hundred for 500gb proprietary <.<
Oh yeah, it'd be a way better plan to buy an external hard drive. I got a Seagate 3TB External Hard Drive for £65 off of Amazon, so they're not all that expensive-I would think that the 1TB XB1 would have a premium close to that on it anyways
Yeah I figured it might be, so for now I'm good with just uninstalling games I don't play much anymore but when that no longer is an option I think I might have to stop being such a cheap bastard lol.

So I'm a little bored and waiting for the sleeping tablets to kick in so here we go
Ask me questions about psychology and related shit and I'll try to answer them. If you'd like a funposting answer instead of a serious one, please include the term pineapple in your question subtly like the following.
''Describe the role of dopamine in the formation of addictions. Pineapples.''
etc

I'm kinda with Turkey here, but I'm honestly more interested in knowing what, if anything, could be gained from aborted fetus parts. Like, what good is that to us? What do you do with a fetus arm?
Cellular research, genetics, testing new medications on human tissue to see if it just causes it to foam up and explode. Probably stem cell stuff too, but they moved away from embryonic stem cell research after people made no end of fuss about it (and there were other methods discovered for obtaining stem cells). If this was 10 years ago as it seemed to imply, then it probably would have been for the stem cells.

I'd rather they went to a research company than into the trashcan <_<
It's a waste of human life either way, but one result provides some potential good from the abortion rather than just straight up killing a foetus and burning the remains.

Add meh, and you need to get BF4-now that it's fixed it's superb
I've had it since launch lol, this is my third time buying it. At launch on the 360, At launch on the PS4 (About a month and a half difference) and then I've bought it off amazon for the xbone (premium edition) now so I can play with all the gooks on here.

Um... For what purpose?... Who is buying aborted fetus parts?...
After reading the article it looks like biomedical research companies want the parts to study and the transaction is most likely transport costs being reimbursed rather than some scheme to plunger out a few foetuses and slice them up for parts on the black market.

Kool. Never played with you much on PS4.
Gamertag is I Tackelberry I.
Yeah I'm not sure why but I've been a lot more solitary on the PS4, playing with one or two people and otherwise just on my own. Whereas back in the day on Halo (360) I'd be playing with lots of people.
So I think I should be a little more sociable on the xbone.
I had BF4 for PS4, but gave it to a friend. PSN ran out, and I didn't feel like renewing until I played something like No Man's Sky.
How much is it to rebuy BF4 on Xboner?
Ahh yeah, that might have contributed. BF4 vanilla is like £12 used £20 new but premium edition is £60 something.

It's annoying me how everybody is accusing Cameron of running scared. Like, what the fuck? If losing a vote is just going to keep the status quo, and you're fairly certain you're gonna lose, don't fucking have the vote.
Other than that, it's good that it won't be repealed.
Well yeah that is kind of silly, there is no way they'll pass it if the SNP vote against it because I doubt many outside of the party will and since it's a free vote (i.e no Whips to ruin the actual democratic process) I doubt all the tories will be voting for it <_< So holding the vote would be pointless, but yeh it's good they aren't going to get that shit passed.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33520547Full article SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has told David Cameron he is "not master of all he surveys" after her party forced a delay in a planned fox-hunting vote.
Ministers shelved Wednesday's vote on relaxing hunting laws in England and Wales after the SNP said it would vote against the changes.
The party had previously said it would not vote on issues affecting England and Wales only.
Mr Cameron said the SNP's position was "entirely opportunistic".
Downing Street said it was "disappointing" that the vote had to be postponed, and said new proposals on the Hunting Act would be introduced "in due course".
'Slender majority'
The government has said the hunting vote will now be held after plans to give English MPs a veto on matters affecting only England - although this would not stop the hunting issue having to be voted on by the whole House of Commons.
Ms Sturgeon, Scotland's First Minister, said the decision to delay the hunting vote showed "David Cameron can't carry his own parliamentary group", and that he only had a "slender and fragile" majority.

Media caption David Cameron says the SNP decision to vote on a fox-hunting law which does not affect Scotland is "entirely opportunistic"
She said he had also been forced to pull his English votes for English laws plans, showing that he was "not master of all he surveys in the House of Commons".
She said if he "had any sense", he would come back with proposals based on "fairness and reasonableness" that "work in both directions".
Earlier she had explained her party's decision to take part in the hunting vote, saying there had been "overwhelming demand" from people in England.
Another reason, she said, was because David Cameron was making Scottish MPs "second-class citizens" in the House of Commons.
'Interesting politics'
Mark D'Arcy, BBC Parliamentary correspondent
Protesters gathered outside the Houses of Parliament
With two strategic retreats in the space of a week, the intersection of Hunting and English Votes for English Laws (EVEL) is generating some really interesting politics.
Last week, the government paused its attempt to bring in EVEL, replacing a vote on Wednesday with a consultative debate.
Today another "turn your back and run away, and live to fight another day" moment on the proposed changes to the Hunting Act.
Read the blog in full
The government plans to change Commons rules to allow English, or English and Welsh, MPs a "decisive say" on legislation only applying there.
However, the current proposals would not prevent SNP MPs from voting against the changes.
This is because the statutory instrument ministers want to use to change the law would require the support of the whole of the House of Commons.
The government's decision to reschedule the vote came as anti-hunting protesters gathered at the Houses of Parliament to protest against changing the law.
The changes would have brought the Hunting Act in line with Scotland, where an unlimited number of dogs can be used to "flush out" a fox to be shot, compared to just two in England and Wales.
'Rollercoaster week'
Claire Marshall, BBC environment correspondent
It's been a rollercoaster week for the old, bitter enemies on each side of this debate.
Last Wednesday - Budget day - there was quiet jubilation in hunts in England and Wales at the prospect of the loathed Hunting Act being relaxed.
Dignity would be restored: they could hunt without their every move being filmed. Animal welfare groups were devastated: it was a sneaky step, hunting would be back, and they only had a week to mobilise.
Now with the abandonment of the vote, their fortunes have apparently been reversed.
But this isn't a tale of victory and defeat. Both sides now know the government's desire to change the Hunting Act.
They are digging in for a much more protracted fight that could - believe it or not - become even more bitter.
But the 56 SNP MPs, plus Labour and some Conservative MPs opposed to hunting, meant the government's change stood little chance of being approved in Wednesday's free vote.
The SNP says it will now consider tightening the law in Scotland to match England and Wales.
Maria Eagle, Labour's shadow environment secretary, said: "David Cameron is now running scared because he knew he was going to lose the vote on fox-hunting."
Meanwhile, a poll for the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show has suggested almost three in four British adults are against making fox hunting legal.
The poll, conducted by ComRes, asked 1,005 people if the practice "should or should not be made legal again?"./quote] tl;dr Scottish Nationalist Party comes out of the blue to slam the door shut on Cameron's dick over the fox hunting repeal vote. After previously stating they would not vote on any issues concerning England or Wales, to lull the tories into a false sense of security they come out with this 10/10 rochambeau. Spoiler This isn't a hurr tories are evil (they are tho, full on baby eating bishops the lot of them) or the SNP is bae post but more of a watch Cameron's pineapple get ended by a little scottish lady post. For a more serious note, this is very good. Fuck the hunting repeal and fuck anyone who votes in favour of it <_<

Why didn't the Japanese-Americans fight back? Why didn't black slaves fight back? Why didn't the Irish fight ba- oh, bad example. Anyways, they really had no means to do so. They were starved and worked, with no tools or means for organization.
I think the better question would be why didn't the French fight back? Jews could have been safe there.
They did, they just did the usual frenchman's job of it and surrendered after a few broken baguettes and a couple of squashed bries.
obligatory the french have won dozens of wars post
I mean lol I agree
The only war they won that was actually worth anything was the 1066 conquest <_<
And the battle of Tours, but Charles Martel apparently was not french.
Hmm yeah

It's really scary to see how South African people will get when talking about pedophiles. I can't tell whether they actually have deep-seated hatred for them or just that they enjoy the idea of finally being able to enact mob justice on some group and not feel guilty.
I think it's probably the latter, it must be hard to not be able to spawn flashmobs and lynch a few random people after a good few centuries of being able to do that willynilly.

Mashallah
would you rather have the ability to know everything of one subject, but literally nothing else for example, if you choose history, you know everything BC to now, something like that) or know everything about all subjects, but limited to one thing per subject (for example, history= industrial revolution only, and so on) ? why?
Hmm, well assuming that it only applies to academic subjects and the like and not day to day living stuff >_> I'd choose the everything about one subject and apply it to Psychology. I would do that because having highly specialised knowledge in one field is more useful than knowing drips and drabs of many fields >.>
