Ever wondered how dogs learned to use their "puppy eyes" to bend us to their will?
It turns out our pet pooches have evolved human-like eyebrow muscles, which let them make the sad faces that melt our hearts, according to a new study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

and they did it without AI
They do make awfully sad faces at me when I won't let them have doritos.

have you seen an X-Men movie in the past 5-7 years? maybe more?
it breaks my heart to say this, but god except for (so I hear) Logan they're so bad. whereas the worst movies with Avengers in them are no worse than middling.
i only liked infinity war. I like almost all of the xmen movies, except for xmen 3 and that second wolverine movie in 2013.

I just like the x-men powers overall. like I said, take iron man or captain america out of their suits (or shield) and they are normal guys... Cyclopse, gambit, beast or wolverine are guys you can strip naked and they'll still kick your ass

You don't get to talk about any movies until you see Star Wars and LotR.
I've seen about 10 minutes combined from all of those movies and I noped out pretty quickly. I just don't like fantasy because its a genre where you can make up any BS you want and it doesn't have to make sense

I did not get this memo about pay rates on Mturk.

You will receive the payment as advertised on mTURK (a rate of $2 per hour) or the CBDR Participant Pool website for your participation. There will be no cost to you if you participate in this study.

I remember this one time a requester quoted a study saying that the average pay rate on mturk was like $4/hr to justify their pay. The study was actually about the absolute LOWEST a worker would work for without abandoning a task/refusing to work for someone. And it was like four years old at that point.

I returned the hit, I figured why the hell not, it can't be any better from here on out.

That's really depressing.

I haven't seen Dark Phoenix yet, but I thought the x-men movies were great as long as you don't break your head worrying about comic book time travel plot holes.
