Also, why don't more people like discussing topics of psychology and sociology on an informal basis, like why people like memes or dislike Justin Bieber or stuff like that?

Memes are funny because in-jokes are funny and memes are in-jokes that are in with a large number of people.
People hate Justin Bieber either because they have an irrational dislike of pop music or because he's a douche.
No one talks about psychology on an informal basis because it's boring as shit.
i'm not talking psychology as in skinner boxes and milgram experiments and making mice learn mazes.
i guess i'm using the term rather broadly -- psychology being pretty much everything based in how we think. this includes learning, communication, processing information, making decisions, etc.
i dunno man, i just think that this kind of informal analysis based on the opinions of a limited sample is scientifically worthless, and just as likely to produce more stereotypes and bad heuristics as it is facts
if you want to know how we think, actual experimental psychology is precisely what you should be looking at
i prefer to find a most basic term to describe something
so, like
people trying to get elected to offices is politics
but so is doing dealmaking and compromises to get people to agree on a decision together, or trying to make yourself look better to someone who doesn't like you; that's also politics
not usually called politics, but if you have to ask what it is, it's basically politics
which is a branch of applied psychology
there's lots of branches of applied psychology, including politics, economics, and communication
they're usually dealt with separately from psychology, but they draw their deep-down bottom fundamental principles from psychology

well we use it on a daily basis to produce mental models, which we can then feed more data into to expand, confirm, or challenge, and then revise
we're just not calling it psychology, but rather "getting to know people" or something like that

visual novel meets adventure game makes a lot of sense to me, actually
cute
How can this be achieved?
That makes all the shipping really, really, really squicky to me.
Punching people isn't nice.
it's a children's TV show, it's not concerned with relationships or shipping or whatever
think about cacti instead
as for the actual question, theories have been proposed. I read a very good tumblr post of all things on the subject once.

some of the comments on the latest post about her are really kinda mean
well
[22:59:29] <Corvidium> Does anyone want me to explain why I don't like steampunk
you have been proven wrong immediately.
just like Bieber
post the entire lyrics of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem.
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spat out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
and to figure out how to explain people's behavior, without resorting to stereotyping and bad heuristics
'i don't like this genre because' isn't psychology
psychology is a science with actual studies and peer reviewed articles in journals and stuff
i guess i'm using the term rather broadly -- psychology being pretty much everything based in how we think. this includes learning, communication, processing information, making decisions, etc.
if you want to know how we think, actual experimental psychology is precisely what you should be looking at
i guess i'm a lumper

there's lots of branches of applied psychology, including politics, economics, and communication

we're just not calling it psychology, but rather "getting to know people" or something like that
gosh
