For sure. It’s just hard to overstate how cut off we used to be from information back in the day. Your professor says something you think sounds suspect? Well, off to the library to find a book on a similar subject and HOPE you can find the answer you need within. That’s still an excellent way to get information and sometimes the best or only way for certain things. It just used to be the ONLY way for ANYTHING and I’m glad those days are behind us.
Our girls are hitting puberty six years early
Oh? What’s his supposed correct age for this?
I was taught in college that girls reach puberty earlier now than in prior centuries in part because they are exposed to light for more hours per day thanks to electrification, and puberty is in part triggered by an internal clock keeping track of how much light you’ve been exposed to in your lifetime.
Of course we leaned a lot of shit in college before the internet which turns out to be nonsense now. But I believe exposure to light is more important than we generally recognize. If you trace our evolution back to the beginning, you’ll find light sensitive cells far far earlier than anything involving actual vision.
It was on his Facebook group. Same way he gets all his information.
I swear to god we have a used car salesman for a president and a snake oil huckster for secretary of health. It goes downhill from there. Everyone talks about fascism but the kakistocracy is fucking real.
Eventually the public will turn on the facts. Meaning: they will turn on the people who print them. People are assailable even if facts are not. Then you get three things:
This is not a prognostication unfortunately, just a faithful observation of what’s happened to public health information in the US recently.
Dude take a break from the Marxist revolution to recognize there is more than one dynamic in the world.
Pretty sure I know the answer to that. It has two parts:
Perhaps they can work out an exchange if the healthcare workers are willing to release some of the IDF soldiers they have taken hostage.
Yeah, wow. It’s not enough to keep Sharia law from ruling the land. It’s not even allowed to rule a private individual’s life by choice. So much freedom!
Jim Jefferies disappeared from the Riyadh festival lineup after he said on Theo Von’s podcast: ‘One reporter was killed by the [Saudi] government – unfortunate, but not a fucking hill that I’m gonna die on.’
What a fucking loser. He threw his soul away AND lost the payday. Lose-lose fucking loser.
You make a good point. I think sadly it will not rise to the point of actual effect. It will inflame people who support her, and those folks are likely already inflamed over Gaza. Many others don’t give a shit about her or actively hate her, and they will either gloss over this or say “that’s what you get” or even “good.”
My own mother, who is a feminist and wildlife advocate, loves to repost FB memes about her being an unrealistic virtue signalling twat who perfoms a low-carbon image while still not living up to the humble standards of the elbow-grease-powered older generations. It’s sad. Greta is incredibly polarizing, and some people just hate her for being young and idealistic.
On the whole I don’t see this affecting anything. We live in an era of mutually exclusive mental models of reality and they can be incredibly well insulated.
More like “those who want to see 10% more socialism in their capitalism are feeling cautiously optimistic that the Democratic Party might change slightly.”
Perhaps we can have a slightly more granular system than giving a fuck, yes/no, 1 or 0, black and white. May I suggest perhaps we count how many fucks a country has to give for women? On that scale, we would properly see that the US gives far, far more fucks about women than Saudi Arabia. I’ve been there. Do not casually equate the two.
At the very least, the word can be used figuratively to describe the decay and breakdown of social fabric. Personally I find it refreshing to hear an entire society held accountable, not just a few mustache twirling villains at the top.
I like how you cast everyday breakdown of social fabric as “corruption.” We usually only apply that word to leaders but you’re right it can pervade every level.
Real talk: a crappy imitation of someone else can still be a better person than 100% authentic “you.”
Be the best person you can be whether that feels like it’s coming from your innermost soul or not. A lot of us have a bunch of trash inside that’s not worth being 100% true to.
Could this be as a simple as: they have a superfan who is older or has some other condition that causes them to be incontinent, and they wear an adult diaper?
I see, hence the layoffs.
I didn’t even realize Bosch was involved with autos, but apparently:
Bosch − the world’s biggest auto supplier, making everything from braking and steering systems to sensors
His crime goes unpunished a lot, unfortunately, at all levels of society. But this is just absurd. He doesn’t get to call himself the Duke of Derpingshire anymore. Oh no! And the fact that they let him continue to be a prince because “what can we do he’s a prince” 🤷 ! How about cast him out, disembowel him in the town square, hang his remains in a gibbet from the battlements. Like the kings of old!
