So looks like it might be another day before i bring up the **Managed Groups Server**. I found a few minor bugs today I fixed and still need to fix the bug that is preventing registration as it wont sent e-mails out. Once I fix that bug it should be good to go. Though, stay tuned.

@kawaiipunk well my first question is why cant they go into the bios and enable the usb controller the same way they disabled it. Why the need to reset it at all?

@calligraphy

Some calligraphy to kick off the group.

@QOTO Testing top level post, public, ignore this.

@noellabo

Sort of.. I've had to make several code changes so far.. I just released a new fix a few minutes ago. I think this fix should be the final step to get it working as I intended.

@QOTO

@rimugu hahah nice save. Always amazes me how when people make a fool of themselves their response is to just double down and throw a tantrum. Feel free to continue, it amuses me, but like I said im done.

@rimugu

When did I say I dont have bias? Now your just making up things I never said.

Nice try at trolling to suggest I am obsessively attached to the idea of kids with dolls too.

You have single handedly in one post lost all credibility with that little tantrum. This is where i exit.

@TradeMinister

Not sure that is a great example.. Your not talking so much about dogma or wasted careers as you are talking about observing scientific progress where competing ideas and theories are over time refined and confirmed.

@amerika @arteteco

@TradeMinister

Yea and typically thats what happens exactly. The issue with psychology is mostly as arteco pointed out the nature of the field and not any dogma or other issues. We are talking about a new field where conditions change with the environment and thus experiments done later at time may not always reproduce earlier experiments whent he culture has changed in the time in between.

@amerika @arteteco

@rimugu Then you do have an inherent bias, and at the very least recognize that, that your goal going iin is to counter the thinking of an adult who is critical of children with dolls.

Regardless as I already stated I really dont care if a child plays with a rock or happens to like a doll or anything else. I do care that parents tend to condition their kids to not know how to cope with things and the children become obsessive over objects in an unhealthy way instead.

There is a difference between a child who is obsessively attached to a doll and a child who just sohappens to own a doll and play with it.

@rimugu I cant say your expiernce in anyway matches what I see.. Not once in my life have I seen a parent give a cell phone to a child drealing with trauma and drenched in tears and encouraged to use it as a comfort, not once.

Dolls and comfort blankets, that is the norm.

@TradeMinister

No one is claiming anyone who has ever said they were doing science was above board. You wont have any trouble finding the occasional bit of fraud or even incompetence. However largely when it does crop up the rest of the scientific community tends to catch it.

@amerika @arteteco

@TradeMinister

there is an expectation that you know certain theories and schools of though before you go onto more obscure or complex ones for sure. but that isnt dogma. Studying a thing doesnt inherently create dogma for the thing.

I study religion in some depth and while there is plenty floating around in the way of dogma when it comes to religion I have never adopted that dogma because I only study the topic, I dont adopt the faith.

I also never experienced teachers pushing too much dogma. Generally they care if you prove your point using logic and data, they dont force your conclusions. Most teachers not just accept dissenting thought they encourage it and want you to try to disprove theories, they even tend to promote projects where you attempt to do so.

the only reason scientific thought tends to align is because we have all went through the science and tried to disprove it and ultimately found we were wrong and could not.

@amerika @arteteco

@rimugu

You often wont see the things you dont want to see or that your presumptions prevent.

I have no doubt you have seen crying freaking out children whom a parent tried to comfort by guying a doll or encouraging them to take their doll for comfort. That is a parent teaching their kid to obsessively become dependent on their dolls.

Cellphones.. i dont know, when haveyou seen a parent tell a small child who is freaking out to play with their cell phone for comfort? That sounds weird and not something I can say sounds like the norm.

@likho

@rimugu

It can certainly play out that way sometimes, but many children i see obsessively attached to a doll never had any significant trauma to name. But yea it can develop in many ways.

But even then if a parent is teaching their child to deal with trauma by becoming dependent on a doll, then the parent didn't do a very good job at helping their child deal with the trauma.In fact it can be so bad even when there is no significant trauma of any kind the parent may use the doll to try to comfort the child and develop the obsession on the doll regardless.

Its no different than parents who use suckers to sooth their child. Sure its used as a way in the parents mind to help the child get through trauma. But in the end it is a unhealthy coping mechanism that causes real harm when the parent should have been teaching their child proper coping mechanisms.

@likho

@rimugu

I never claimed a kid playing with a doll was a concern either, only that kids have no natural compulsion towards obsessive attachment to dolls and then when it is observed it is usually taught by the adult.

The doll itself however does not represent a threat or unhealthy behavior, nor do apps on phones. but it is a symptom of a problem when you see a child obsessively attached to a doll, but it isnt the dolls fault, the parent introduced that issue in most cases.

@likho

@likho

Depends on the nature of the app and how often we are talking about that in and of itself doesnt really bother me much.
