I am Spike; Mikey is my BFF and a psychology major. Had to share this for lulz and internal cocks.
mikeytron meowing: and, yeah, there's loads of psychological research on teenagers that shows they have underdeveloped frontal cortexes, which controls reason and planning and allows for careful risk assessment and aversion.
mikeytron meowing: the frontal cortex modulates the more immediate reactions made by the hypothalamus, which involves gut instincts, emotional responses, and aggression, and in teens its responses aren't fully regulated or tempered by their frontal cortex before acting
mikeytron meowing: it's a bit more complicated than that, that it's the gist of it. it kind of helps to compare them and their relationship to the ego and the the id, even if psychoanalysis is unfalsifiable quackpottery
mikeytron meowing: wait... not hypothalamus... i meant to say AMYGDALA there...
mikeytron meowing: sorry, i am failing psych 101...
mikeytron meowing: lol i haven't had my coffee yet, ok? :{
Spike Dee: you still meant to say that, anyway
Spike Dee: it's barely 6 AM; you just aren't fully awake yet, AND YOU STILL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, ANYWAY
Spike Dee: fuck, dude, i am totally ignorant to this shit, and i wouldn't have even noticed you were wrong if you hadn't corrected yourself
mikeytron meowing: but they don't even look alike and they do totally different things :{ the hypothalamus maintains internal equilibrium and controls basic things like body temp, eating, pituitary hormones, and your internal cock
Spike Dee: ...internal cock
Spike Dee: INTERNAL COCK
mikeytron meowing: INTERNAL CLOCK LOL :{ :{ :{{{ :{{{{
mikeytron meowing: ...well, the amygdala DOES play a role in sexuality
mikeytron meowing: so at least IT sorta CAN be an internal cock even if your hypothalamus isn't, so nyah >P
