I was able to justify a big dinner after a 2 hour long bike ride.
- Cajun Corn - a semi-proprietary cajun and taco seasoning blend suspended in olive oil and drizzled over whole ears. Wrapped in foil, and set on the grill right after dumping the charchoal from the chimney. Turned once every 8 minutes or so.
- Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers - Along with the corn, I seared tomatoes, onion, and Jalapenos to prepare fresh salsa for Cinco De Mayo this week. In America at least Jalapenos are absolute wildcards when you get them from the grocery store. These were screamers, and I have a fairly high heat tolerance. 3 slices of Boar's Head yellow cheddar and the freshly ground prime 80/20 from the supermarket cooled things off a bit, but I actually also leveraged my BBQ slaw from 2 days ago to really tie the room together...
- BBQ Slaw - I use a variant of Rodney Scott's BBQ Sauce, an eastern NC condiment, modified to have more smoke via chipotle chile powder and higher-quality vinegar as a base. Greek Yogurt, a touch of mayo, brown sugar, and brown deli mustard round it out. I've learned that trying to eliminate sugar in slaw is a fool's errand, despite my hating it as an ingredient in industrialized food.
I originally planned to do some roasted potatoes, but after 3 IPAs, I decided to crack open a bag of chips now that Frito-Lay has dropped the prices back to human levels.

My counterpoint would be that those cultural beliefs are window dressing. Without core beliefs for personal responsibility and skepticism about the long-term effects of the welfare state, it's worthless. Black voters choose the side that promises the most spoils and reparations-lite for them.
To be clear, this is probably true for all voters. I've run the data analysis to split voting blocs among racial and gender segments. Their support for student loan forgiveness had an R of .89 to the amount they typically owe:
Strongest Correlation: Groups that would benefit most financially show the highest support:
Black Women: $18,950 net benefit → 76% support
Black Men: $14,400 net benefit → 68% support
Hispanic Women: $11,400 net benefit → 72% support
Negative Net Benefit Groups show predictably lower support:
Asian Men: -$2,300 net cost → 30% support
White Men: -$250 net cost → 32% support
Likewise, my philosophy now is to always vote for lower taxes, regardless of the future implications to the national debt, since it's become unworkable to cut spending.

This is something anyone can answer, but I'll ask a different question: why does no other ethnic group align at even remotely the same level?
nobody with any authority is doing anything about it
The only feasible thing to do here is to have your own children and use your authority to allow them to understand the sexual market without revealing your true power level.
My father did it reasonably well for me, I'll do it for my kids. I have no way of making enough money to produce any mainstream art for it.
All that said, the closest thing I've seen to sympathy is DTF St. Louis (perhaps worth a post of it's own). It takes a look at male loneliness and sexuality. Still unsatisfying but it's all Hollywood could ever do in today's climate.

Congress. Apparently there were back channel negotiations to force 4 resignations but they only ended up with 2. The staffers all know who these predators are (some sexual, others not) and I guess if you live and work in DC everyone just tolerates it and keeps silent.

Fascinating and infuriating. We need to go further. The fact that they have:
- Sets of people they want to get rid of
- Groups of journalists trained to sit on secrets for more than a decade
- Enough ammo and coordination to kill these targets within 48 hours
But they just won't is driving me insane.

Seduction is the first step. Women's sexual talents exist on a normal distribution like everything else. A honeypot who can't fuck can't do their job - I'm not going to spill my guts for a woman who gives unenthusiastic, toothy head.

My thoughts exactly. Kill Bob, scare both Bob 2 and Carol. Kill Alice, spawn Alice 2 and 3. Easy choice.

Hmm. Many folks suggesting a new dog. I own two. I think it's an optimal number for kids and pets.
But I also think if the older dog is on death's door it may be tough on them, and there's something to be said about experiencing the grief of losing a dog like this without distraction. $.02.

The amount of intra-friend ragging I have now is far lower than I did as a kid, and it sucks. Other folks have already answered your question, but I'll just say that it's such a standard norm in some cultures that it's still uncanny to have none of it as an adult.
There is a limit, though. There's such a thing as genuine contempt coming through in this behavior.
The last friend I made this way started sparring probably 30 minutes into me knowing him, and it's created a durable friend group. When people cannot make fun of you and are only supporting your every crazy or dumb idea, you're missing out on a key value from intimacy.

A physical intimacy tip - "fancy back rubs": essentially the lazy dog position, but you should be primarily focused on providing a great back massage. Use lotion/oil every once in a while, and have a conversation, practice your technique, use your elbows and fingers as a professional would.
When everyone's tired at the end of the day, it's a low-stress and very even pleasure trade that can last as little as 10 minutes before sleep. Or it's great foreplay. Win-Win.

I think the episode's "lesson" is pretty simple -
I loved/hated the episode as well. I'll confess that I've dug deep into old facebook messages every once in a while, imagining the hard disks that store the data creaking back to life as I do so, a blip on their user metrics and behavior pattterns so exotic it's a rounding error in every dashboard.
It's an unhealthy habit, but thank Christ I deleted the threads I needed to more than a decade ago, and SMS backups weren't a thing until I grew up. Black mirror indeed.

I have been blessed to never memorize the names or faces of shitlibs whose careers are focused on triggering me. I obsessed over the worst person in the world continuously baiting me at my undergrad before ceasing the practice.

I wouldn't say that Japanese culture is perfect, but what's on Xitter and showing up on American timelines is generally polite/respectful while also being humorous. It's a refreshing change from political outrage slop and video bait.

I definitely don't consider myself anything near a Nazi, but a hot right-wing girlfriend sounds like an absolute riot.

I don't believe there is. Claude made meaningful progress on retrieving the data and aggregating it for me, but then I hit usage limits and it bombed out. Someone paying for premium would be able to do an audit of the past 2 years or so.
Time to hop onto the repo and make a PR!

This is infuriating on so many levels. Perhaps the most galling part is that the "leave the truck running" part of this with modern engine systems is potentially causing a small amount of damage to the truck.
This guy may be the worst person alive. Aggressively stupid and inconsiderate. I think putting an airpod on the truck and then knifing the tires at least once will be the only way to keep your husband sane.
If you choose to build a cinderblock wall, ensure you make it a rudimentary Acoustic Mirror.

I respect the complaints, but disagree on 2,4, and 7. 3 is a big question mark for me, since I felt like I knew what you mentioned but went off of "vibes".

That's true, but "Solved" is used colloquially as "mitigated" in many contexts

I didn't do exhaustive searching, but Reddit banned discussion and I had to pose as a researcher when discussing with an LLM.

I want to say you've expressed it before. I find it deeply interesting, and it mirrors in many ways why I don't "get" homosexuality. However:
- None of my gay acquaintances or friends talk about this tension as intensely (though it's been a while since I've gotten drunk enough to ask)
- The same dynamics of power/strength/bravery play out in hetero relationships. These qualities are intrinsically good. Women may joke about being smol, but none of them brag about being cowards.

A few weeks back I posted about obtaining and using peptides for injury recovery. Some notes:
- If you're thinking you can go ahead and find a niche forum to learn about this and execute while injured, you can't. They're heavily gatekept (?). You need a 1-1 invite from someone you know, then there are multiple days of probation before you can get to the data, and then the most valuable and critical threads for group buys are locked down even further. I never got to them.
- There's a whole thing where these are run by women, primarily for weight loss, and how different the culture is around it compared to a forum like this.
- I was able to find a friend who had already gotten in deep into the grey market process and was able to, for around $120:
- Compound what I needed
- Send a supply and an easy-to-use disposable needle pen
- Provide the link to get a free needle disposal kit from Novo Nordisk
- PeptideSciences . com had similar kits and formulations for $400, but has since ceased operations
- My surgeon and I talked about their use, he said "I won't stop you, they may help"
My recovery was generally fast. I was cleared to cycle on a stationary bike 2 weeks after surgery, major rides aftter 4, and light overhead presses after 7. I faced no significant side effects. No way of telling if they helped or not.

But that's my point. Even pre 2004 the Catholic school systems I'm aware of had between 0-1 priests as teachers.
The only way to compare this is per capita hours/year with children. It's very popular on this forum to say "Public School Teachers!" As a rejoinder every time this is brought up, and it's not convincing at all.

That doesn't make sense. In what context were priests getting identical amounts of access to children as teachers?
While we're talking about relative morality and sibling relationships, Iran is, in my mind, the little brother who constantly flicks your nuts, talks about how they'll beat the shit out of you when they're older, and then runs crying to mommy (the U.N.) when you hit them back.
This is a crappy war we shouldn't have started, but I understand why it happened. I also have very little sympathy for a murderous theocracy so incapable of dealing with reality and so hateful to the average human that it's decided to go scorched earth at every fork in the road.
