Opinions should be yours...dumbass

0/ I thought of this a while ago (in law school, I think) but don’t think I’ve ever posted it. Recently though, I saw something that jogged my memory. Here is a thread for MY economic explanation for the “friend zone,” why it’s rational, and how to fix if it men bitch about it:

The only apparent qualification was that the candidate sound the exact opposite of whatever this dude sounds like. Good lord…

This video is turning me into a burn-it-all-down populist ready to toss out the arrogant political elites (these Ivy League ex-Bernie staffers who recruited Graham Platner).

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

This is a baffling tweet, because it says twice that Platner has “a history of bad decision-making,” and then confirms that that bad decision-making causes all sorts of other problems, and then concludes that this would not matter for . . . a member of the U.S. Senate.

Why would anyone want to do this?

Scientists in Japan have developed a groundbreaking treatment that could double the average lifespan of cats, extending it from around 15 years to nearly 30 years.

The key lies in a protein called AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage), discovered by Dr. Toru Miyazaki. While cats naturally produce AIM, they lack the ability to activate it effectively. This deficiency leads to the gradual buildup of waste in the kidneys, the leading cause of death in domestic cats.

Dr. Miyazaki’s team created an injectable form of activated AIM that directly restores the kidneys’ natural cleaning function. In clinical trials, cats with advanced kidney disease showed dramatic improvement after treatment. The therapy works both as a preventive measure for healthy cats and as a treatment for those already ill.

If approved, the treatment could revolutionize feline healthcare. Commercial rollout is expected to begin in Japan as early as 2025, with wider availability projected for 2027.

The research has also sparked interest for its potential applications in human medicine, as the AIM protein plays a similar waste-clearing role across species.

@hayesy316 @aelfred_D I actually did!

Odysseus is my favorite of all Greek heroes. He’s a baller. Maybe this is why he stuck out to me.

True story—my wife shot down naming our youngest Odysseus

I couldn’t come up with a better nickname than “Odie” which apparently didn’t cut the mustard.

[Aelfred The Great @aelfred_D]

Odysseus is actually a fascinating hero, a type somewhat alien to the West, at least in the Christian West. He’s a trickster, he’s clever, he dissembles. He’s clearly no slouch at arms but that’s not where his genius lies. Contrast with Achilles or Hector.

My 6 year old is a freaking boomer. Dude just went out to the patio to sit by himself because it’s “so relaxing” and he’s listening to James Taylor on his tonie box

@neontaster You could AT LEAST say you shouldn’t trust someone’s judgement (political or otherwise) when they agreed to get a nazi tattoo at some point, no?

My mom was born and raised in an 1800 square foot, three bed, one bathroom house with five siblings—8 total people

A reminder that hosing is cheaper now on a per square foot basis than it was then. The average house is more expensive because it’s substantially larger

"Rilee Stewart and Brock Goodwin always imagined having several children...
But that vision shifted once they settled into their 2,000-sq-foot house with a $3,200 mortgage...
They realized that even with one child, they would most likely need more space."

I, a member of the media that calls him a rapist pedo murderer, do not feel safe around him because people attack him because they think he’s a rapist pedo murderer

I’m not going to stop calling him any of those things but I’m not safe because people think of him that way

I was of the opinion that the people saying Omar was involved in the fraud in Minnesota were just wishcasting but now with the income disclosure amendment and this news, it’s starting to seem like they are trying to hide something. Just really weird (at best unfortunate) timing🤷

@PerBylund Is he conceding that socialists/centralized authorities just make it up based on nepotism and their own whims? Because that’s what socialism actually does even if its adherents pay lip service to the idea it can aggregate the knowledge of the market.
