Trump is such a fragile egoist that the approaching mid-term elections are going to make him weaker and weaker, all while claiming how great a deal he's making. I wish it wasn't so, but that's what you're dealing with here. I still pray for freedom for the Iranian people, though I have no idea what the path to it is at this point. How do you defeat a nation while minimizing harm to its citizens? I think we may be finding that you can't, unless the leaders actually care about their people. The IRGC kills the citizens themselves, so that's not going to work.
The 7-second cold wrist rinse was tested on 3,000 soldiers after combat simulations.
Cortisol dropped 52% within 90 seconds. Heart rate fell an average of 22 beats per minute. The Navy classified the protocol in 2009 and kept it secret until 2023.
The mechanism is radial artery cooling. Your inner wrists have the thinnest skin and the largest surface-to-volume ratio for blood vessels. 7 seconds of cold water cools the blood passing to your brain, which signals your hypothalamus to downregulate stress instantly
You've splashed cold water on your face. You've taken cold showers. Both work, but they're inconvenient.
The SEAL protocol takes 7 seconds, requires no undressing, and can be done at any sink. Soldiers used it before night missions to fall asleep fast.
The military classified this because a free 7-second stress fix would reduce demand for combat stress medication ($400M annually).
The 2023 declassification came after a FOIA lawsuit filed by a veteran.
The fix: run cold tap water over your inner wrists for 7 seconds. Both wrists. Do it when you feel a stress spike.
Within 90 seconds, your heart rate will drop. No shower, no ice.
Just 7 seconds.
@harukaawake Why are there so many fires at historic sites in Japan recently? Same thing seems to have been happening at European churches a few years now. I wonder what the common denominator is.
@PopTingz So once again, we're told the 'model' of the perfect woman is of course a man. Sigh. So tired. I thought Rihanna was more up with the times than this 2020 BS.
@dambrose_k@EjaakSujuran You are telling me you still haven't bothered to read about the actual situation. You're talking to me on the internet. Do your own work.
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
This is just a wild guess, but the only thing that makes sense to me is 'freeze, fight, flee, fawn.' They're doing fawn. They feel so thoroughly insecure that they are in constant threat reaction mode.
I mean, look at the misogyny on both the right 'women shouldn't vote or work and must accept any pregnancy forced on her' and the left 'there is no such thing as a woman; and men make the best women anyway.'
@dambrose_k@EjaakSujuran You need to research what happened there a bit more. I thought that at first too, then I realized it was the jury that let the pedo go.
That's as misleading way of framing it. What happened was tragic, but not condoning pedophilia. It was a hung jury, so there needed to be a retrial. But the young victim didn't want to testify again, and would have had to be subpoenaed and forced to. The prosecutors chose not to put him through that. You or I might have chosen to, for the 'public good,' but it was not a question of choosing that the crime he committed didn't matter. And it definitely wasn't pretending it's totally normal and writing the age of consent of 9 into law, like some religions to this very day.
@Hitchslap1 3, assuming the torso is appropriately proportioned. If he's barrel chested, he'd have spindly arms. But if proportionate, he's sleek and taut, just right.
@DavidVance It's actually quite hard to destroy ONLY a government militarily and not hurt the civilians. The US and Israel are trying to do exactly that.
