xxdarrenxx··on Lyme Is 'All in Your Head' – A Wake-Up Call to Mental Health Professionals
I don't see why this belongs in Mental Health. Where I Live patients go to their GP's who then either decides to send people to a "regular" doctor for bloodtest and so forth, or establishes a possible mental condition and you are send to a psychiatrist/psychologist.

The brain is physical in nature, and lyme is far from the only disease to exhibit neurological symptoms. A psychiatrist will be biased towards treating as if the root is mental and not physical/viral in nature. Not to mention, they don't have direct access in many cases to do the required tests themselves.

xxdarrenxx··on Auctioneer to sell off Pink Floyd recording console
I agree. Even top producers plug their ableton track into a nice console after it's done, and directly feed it back again in the laptop, purely for the on-board eq/compression or subjective type off distortion that gets added.

One can argue offcourse if it's over the top, but let's be honest, most producers only use 5% off any vst in their lifetime and some don't even venture away from stock presets. For most producers that one sound out off thousand redundant ones is enough.

xxdarrenxx··on The Netherlands Closes Prisons Because It Doesn't Have Enough Prisoners
Misleading article. I'm from the netherlands and a lot of police interviews report lack off financial support and manpower.

Only criminals that get caught end up in jail.. Criminals who do not get caught are criminals nevertheless.. And they stil do criminal things.

Correlation =/= Causation.

xxdarrenxx··on Why Your Best Thinking Is in the Shower (2014)
While through many ways mind and body (physicality) are viewed as 2 entities they are one. Relaxing your body relaxes your mind. To take it further, physical exercise also makes you think better. It creates all kind off cocktails. Things like staying motivated with an idea, having energy, and not set back by feelings of failure. I also went through depression, and when I got to a better state off mind after therapy I was faster, sharper, more focused and more perceptive. It all needs to balance well together. Like a computer your as good as the weakest link.
