The sayings, “Actions speak louder than words,” and “It’s not what you say, but how you say it,” are popular adages for good reason. Our silent body language speaks volumes, but we may not always be aware of what we’re saying with it. The way we hold ourselves, our gestures, and even how we make eye contact can make a huge difference in how people perceive us.

The idea of predicting the future has been the subject of countless books, movies and televisions shows (and is basically the basis of all gambling). Outside of a few uncanny instances, no one can tell exactly what the future holds, especially for the world at large. But people sure love to predict it anyway.The BBC shared a video compilation of kids in 1966 sharing what they imagine the year 2000 would be like, and their predictions are fascinating. After five or six kids share, it becomes clear what some of the most pressing concerns of the 1960s were. Some kids thought we'd have bombed ourselves into oblivion. Others believed we'd be so overpopulated we would be packed like sardines and wouldn't be able to build houses anymore. Not all of the predictions were so dark. Some kids had some hilarious predictions about cabbage pills and robots. Others thought we'd have better cures for diseases and less segregation among the races, which we have.

Display an unsettling cruelty that is unprovoked and sadistic. In numerous studies, people with a higher level of psychopathic traits display a reduced aversiveness to negative or fear-based images and stimuli. According to other research, they also show more activation in parts of the brain related to empathy for themselves when imagining themselves experiencing pain and show little activation in parts of the brain indicating empathy for others when envisioning other people enduring painful scenarios. Psychopathic people also display activation in parts of the brain related to reward when envisioning other people in pain, and psychologists suggest this may be an indication that they gain sadistic pleasure from inflicting pain on others. This can play out in different ways during the relationship. Sometimes a psychopathic partner can issue cruel, degrading insults that have nothing to do with the true nature of the person they’re in a relationship with. For example, they may tell their supermodel wife that she is gaining weight to instill insecurity and ensure she doesn’t look elsewhere for a better partner or tell their successful lawyer husband that they’re a “loser” to incentivize him to bring in more profits to leech off of. This acts as a way to maintain power and control over their partner while also belittling their partners for their own enjoyment.

4 Things Psychopaths Do In Romantic Relationships (That Empathic People Never Do)

In searching for true love, you might end up with a gold digger as there are a lot of them nowadays. A large number of people in the current generation don’t believe in character or conduct much, they rather prefer status and luxury. The worst part is, they act like they care about a person but in reality, they only care about their money which can be a real problem for someone who is actually looking for a committed relationship. They will find it difficult to understand who is into his/her money and who is interested in a genuine relationship.

In the realm of human sexuality, researchers have long grappled with how to accurately capture the complexities of non-normative sexual practices, often referred to under the umbrella of “kink.” Now, a team of scientists has developed and validated a new tool designed to measure various aspects of kink engagement — the Kink Orientation Scale. The study detailing this work was recently published in The Journal of Sex Research.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week.
