Or, do we will still need a common currency that allows health and non-health outcomes to be traded-off against one another, and a non-arbitrary method to determine the value of outcomes in this currency.
Is life satisfaction the best 'common currency' we have so far?
I am looking for empirical evidence on the following hypothesis. Does higher number of sexual partners increase: happiness, life satisfaction/contentment and subjective well-being?
Any scientific articles or research published on this topic? The only study I could find was from an Economist at bigthink and the methodology seemed quite flawed.
This is something someone said to me while talking about their kids…I told them I remember hearing about that study and it specifically said people with kids become happier once they graduate from high school…As in when they are no longer a care takers…Yeah that’s how it works. Life gets better without kids. lol
I found this subreddit when I was looking for a new mouse, and it seems a lot of people seek advice and give advice but forget that these things are completely subjective. It's great to point out things others may not think of, it'll help them in their evaluation. But at the end of the day, everyone has really strong opinions on what works for them and we don't need to force our opinions. One example of this is that I've literally seen people argue about the slipperiness of Zowie mice while dry and wet, and people came to opposite conclusions based on their own experiences.
That brings me to my next point - nothing will ever beat trying different mice yourself. And by that, I don't mean holding them in the store. As big of a hassle as it is, you need to be able to actually use them for your games and see what you think after giving each a fair amount of time.
As a personal anecdote, I broke my EC1-A after a couple years with some occasional abuse. I tried the G403 in the store and while it might be the most well-made mouse I've ever held, I got deeply uncomfortable holding it while gaming. My friend let me try his EC2-A, which I realized was a better fit for me despite all the research I'd done online, and I ended up buying a white EC2-A. My previous concerns over grip were gone, and while build quality isn't quite like other brands, personal comfort trumps all for me and the shape is something I can't give up.
If you can take 100 baby boomers and get tons of variance in their beliefs, opinions, and principles, then why should we take their experiences and treat them as a ubiquitous truth?
I ask this because I've seen a lot of discussion about topics relating to age/generations, wisdom, life experience, etc. and it doesn't make sense to me for experience to determine correctness.
Don't get me wrong, if I had to choose between a chef that's been cooking for 25 years, knows the business, understands customers, has learned and practiced many techniques and has their own successful cookbook, I will certainly respect their experience and wisdom in cooking over a rookie who's only practiced cooking at home and watches food network.
But when it comes to things like relationships, raising children, choosing a career path, topics that have huge variance in paths taken, it doesn't make sense to me. My parents believe in spanking but my uncle doesn't. My grandma believes having a lot of relationships is good for you. My dad believes it's bad for you. But if I disagree with any of them as a 19 year old, it's because I'm not old enough to understand them.
It's just confusing to me so that's why I'm see if you guys can bring me clarity.

Whoop whoop I have now got my ethical approval which means I can now share my questionaire with everyone.
As a 3rd year Psychology student it's such an amazing opportunity to complete my own study.
My study is going to be investigating the links between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), Mental health and Life satisfaction. Now I understand the nature of this is sensitive and I want to reassure you that everything will be anonymous.
I am aiming to get at least 200 people to participate but the more the better! 💯
SO if you think you have experienced childhood abuse then I would be highly grateful if you can participate in this.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me on here or email me on elv1mpo@bolton.ac.uk
Thankyou in advance to anyone who completes the questionnaire which should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.
Many thanks
Ella 🥰
P. S. Please feel free to share this.
Survey My survey will only take about 6 minutes, I really need respondents because the deadline is in 2 days. I would really, really appreciate it. (Please don't remove this post mods)
Something like estate division, where you divide up the price of a product bidding on the various features, repeating this for each alternative for your desired purpose and then doing math to get numbers and then comparing those numbers.
There are also things like the markers method of dividing up items among a group of people, so the single-product equivalent would be asking yourself how much you would price each feature, or what sets of features would have to be present for the price to be worth it.
Also, it would be nice if there were ways to filter out biases like the "mere-exposure effect", where you pick something just because it's familiar.
I'll take a look at the math behind some of the "objective-subjective" choosing methods and see if I can't figure something out.
I just got a binder from Staples that says "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed" on it and i'm like maybe 75% satisfied. Please help, thanks.
My husband and I have been married for 5 months. we started dating in 2018 and we waited 2 years to have sex. In the beginning, sex was great and it was very frequent at least every other day. It was passionate and he was driven when having sex with me. now that we're married and living together, even a few months before marriage, everything changed. I understand that I definitely have a higher sex drive than him and that's okay. we went from having sex every other day to maybe once a week. I understand that that's enough for some people but I'm not ashamed to say that I have a higher libido and I require a bit more than that, and if I'm at least having it once a week, it would be nice to have actual GOOD sex and have it last more that 5 minutes. now, it happens maybe once a week, but he's so lazy when it comes to it and it's the same 2 positions every time, consisting of mostly stationary missionary. it's boring and dull, it's not passionate and heavy anymore, he's done within 5 minutes with him just laying on top of me before he's even finished because he's too "exhausted". I have tried talking about this many times but I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. he always says he's trying but he's not. there's always a different excuse every time like "I'm too tired" or "I don't want sex everyday" or "I need you to help around the house more and then maybe I'll want sex from you more." It's hard for me to fix things on my end when there's a different excuse every time. I do help around the house as much as I can but I am the one working 24/7 while he's doing online school at home. I'm starting to believe he's withholding having sex with me for a punishment, which just causes me to feel bitter and resentful. I need sex to feel emotionally and physically connected to my partner. I have tried talking to him about this problem many times but I've given up. this morning was different (or so I thought) his alarm went off for school and he was caressing me in bed. I thought "wow, he's actually initiating this time? I'm excited" he started touching me and getting into it and then he slips into me, I kid you not, not even 30 seconds in I have him laying limp on top of me again and he says "maybe later, I'm too tired." btw later never happened either. that was honestly the biggest turn off for me and I'm at the point now where I genuinely just don't even enjoy it anymore. he says I need to be a better communicator but since this is the biggest problem for me persona
