wiki - Facial Action Coding System

"Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is a system to taxonomize human
facial movements by their appearance on the face, based on a system
originally developed by Swedish anatomist named Carl-Herman Hjortsjö."

creation.com - The whites of their eyes

"We had the assistance of an eye doctor and we used some of his equipment
to study a number of different human eyes at a very fine level of detail. We
used what we learned to add additional anatomical detail into our eye model,
and we also put a lot of care and attention into the surrounding musculature
of the eyelids and the orbital cavity to try to improve the realism of the way
our eyes moved. We also studied a lot of photo and video reference of ape
eyes. We did cheat in a few places—the sclera, or “whites,” of most of our
apes’ eyes are whiter and more human-like than they would be on real apes.
We cheated them whiter—as we did on King Kong—in order to make it more
clear which way the apes were looking, which in turn makes it easier for the
audience to read their facial expressions."

TIL that crying when you are happy is your body's way of neutralizing your
emotions so you don't become overwhelmed with feelings. Responding to
positive emotions with negative reactions (or vise versa) helps restore your
emotional equilibrium.

tpsychnation - How to not become emotionally invested in women

"Transformational Psychology:

The woman must be more emotionally invested in you than you are in her at
every stage of the relationship. I call this the IRON LAW OF SEDUCTION."

r - When a person wants understanding, but their partner gives
solutions, things do not usually go well. A new study with 114
newlywed couples suggests people who receive emotional support,
instead of informational support, feel better and have higher
relationship satisfaction.

"I've worked in healthcare since I was 18 years old and a lot of the com-
ments here are just mentioning women needing empathy but I want to
emphasize that men and women both need and deserve as much empathy
when facing a problem.

You can sit and tell someone all day long how you're going to fix them but
unless you show empathy and allow them to talk through what they're
feeling, just to get it out of their mind, it'll get bottled up and cause more
problems."

r - My long time Q-Uncle had a realization about his behavior
after I confronted him about it and he proceeded to break down

"My uncle, who is my dad's brother in-law, was raised in a very Christian
conservative environment, but was generally very cool calm and collected,
and a great role model for what an uncle/husband/father should be. But
when Trump came around in 2016, it's like that whole positive demeanor he
had flipped on a dime. I genuinely don't know what exactly sparked the
change, but overtime he just started spouting crazier and crazier things."

"Young adults with right-wing authoritarianism had less gray matter volume in
the region involved in social reasoning. Left-wing authoritarianism was linked
to reduced cortical thickness in brain area tied to empathy and emotion
regulation"
