Funny enough the NIH funded research was cited by republicans like Rand Paul in their wastebook as an example of some “dumb bullshit” that we are wasting our money on. Funnier enough this practice was started by a Democrat in the 70s and 80s (William proxmire from Wisconsin and his “Golden Fleece awards”)

A lot will admit it’s real but then shift blame to China while overlooking the facts that chinas pollution is largely made by western countries outsourcing the dirtiest parts of their supply chain to China and that China is vastly outperforming and outspending literally every country in considerably bringing down their emissions

All those glp-1 agonists that are all the rage right now are because scientists recognized the gila lizard can go long periods without eating while keeping its blood sugar stable and studied its venom

The current drugs like ozempic are synthetic though, no actual gila venom

Also fun fact: the guy that discovered the effect figured it out in the early 90s and actually patented it himself because for years no one was interested. Pharmaceutical industry was apparently “disinterested” and it wasn’t moved forward until 2002 (exenatide/byetta, a precursor to more efficacious drugs like tirzepatide/zepbound/mounjaro, which coincidentally made Eli Lilly the most valuable drug company in the world. Another fun fact is that Lilly partnered with another smaller company to make exenatide then Lilly dissolved the partnership in 2011, allowing the smaller company to keep the rights, likely because they saw the opportunity for the next steps)

5 felt like they half wrote 3 different games, realized they were running out of time, and then smushed them all together. Finishing the campaign becomes a chore long before the ending. Speaking of the ending if you do manage to chug through your reward is an abrupt and extremely weak ending that again feels like they just ran out of time

It’s crazy because then they plopped out red dead 2 which was a tremendously excellent narrative by comparison. They clearly have the means to make something fantastic.

You can run steamos on a jailbroken ps5 already. You need to be on a fairly old firmware though

If your firmware is old enough you can jailbreak it and run steamos already

This is 100% true

Admen for companies like Monsanto in the 1950s pushed the idea of the “green lawn” and rebranded clover as a weed to push herbicides and nitrogen fertilizers

Clover is resilient with lower water needs, it’s softer, it naturally deters pests, and most importantly it pulls nitrogen from the air and pushes it into the soil.

What’s funny and sad is now they’ve come full circle and today’s admen realized they could capitalize on the instagram trend of undoing the damage of the admen from 70 years ago

Once again advertisers prove that they are absolute scumbags with no ethics whatsoever who will value making a dollar over destroying ecosystems

A lot of Americans don’t have a private area outside of their car

I can’t tell you how many of my telehealth therapy clients meet me from their car because they don’t have a truly private space in their own home. I actually can tell you, it’s like 40-50% depending on when you ask me

Rebecca ass is shockingly tame for old James Bond

Pussy Galore is unironically a character name in Goldfinger (1964)

anon discovers depersonalization and maybe an undiagnosed mental health issue that’s been ongoing for some time

This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”

If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos

Listen, brown, light green, red, and pink paid for advertising and that matters much more than your search query

Maybe I’m bad at colors

Destroy the advertising industry. Burn it alllll down

The deinstitutionalization and movement to prison was something that began long before Reagan. Really goes back to the end of ww2 and Kennedy. though reagan definitely accelerated it by a great deal by decreasing budgets substantially and increasing incarceration rates significantly

Reagan was a monster though. What a great day it was when he died

Anon is slowing disarming America

Look at this dumb asshole that got the $2500-2600 (assuming queen mattress) plus $17/mo or 199/yr subscription mattress cover (eg not the actual fucking mattress or bed frame). What a broke piece of shit. Should’ve gotten the $2850-2950 pod 6

After briefly googling what this actually is and the costs involved I have 0 sympathy for anyone involved. This is 100% tech bro bullshit. A temperature controlled bed sounds neat, I guess, and I am always a sucker for analytics, but this is possibly the most consumer hostile bullshit I have ever seen. It is all of the worst practices of modern tech wrapped into a device:

Grossly overpriced? Check

$350 upsell for physical controls? Check

Tons of vague language about health benefits that extrapolate valid claims onto their product, suggesting their product has benefits beyond something far cheaper (eg temperature does impact sleep but a $10 fan or $150 window unit would likely be fine because research is generally about environment and not about the surface of the bed)? Zero research about the device itself and zero funding for them to get this product investigated? Check

Subscription required? Not technically, core functionality still works, but you lose all the analytics, all the “smart adjustments” of temperature (it basically will just hold a constant temperature throughout the night whereas the subscription will adjust it gradually based on movement) and the biggest point is that your warranty is voided and you lose all support if you don’t maintain a subscription

Also while I don’t know this for sure I am betting there is 0 chance that you can fix this thing if it breaks.

This thing is so dumb and if you buy it I will judge you. You could buy a 2001 Honda accord LX with 141,000 miles. for that price. That’s a reliable car. I had one and drove it to 200k, sold it and I’m sure it ran for a while longer. Maintain it well and you’ll get 250-300k out of that bad boy. Meanwhile your dumb water bed cover will break and leak all over which is apparently so bad people all worry about all the posts theyve seen about leaking and the social media team has to come share blog post about how they make them less shitty now. sorry if you got the first batch, i guess. But it’s okay because as dumb redditors point out you can give them another $500 to extend the warranty to 5 years. Just remember to keep that subscription active or that warranty is void you stupid piece of shit.

you still need a fucking mattress! You know someone buying this isn’t throwing it on a $400 ikea mattress. They’re going for the $3200 foam mattress. I am so mad about this

Edit: it also sells the biometric data its harvests about you to advertisers. Reddit posts show it uploads anywhere from 10-30gb of data per month, so it’s collecting quite a bit of data

No they don’t, they and the rest of the US entertainment industry forced our government to put an increasing amounts of pressure on Sweden resulting in anakata and the other 2 founders serving a year in prison plus about $4 million in fines about 5 years after this was sent. They are lucky they live somewhere where the penal system is not overly retributive, otherwise the punishment would’ve likely been much more severe

(Assuming you’re American) your tax dollars at work

John fetterman, who once held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint with a loaded shotgun because someone set off some fireworks nearby, who was elected to gentrify his town and mainly did his “amazing projects” because his rich dad suddenly was willing to dump a ton of money into the town now that his kid was mayor (on top of paying his kid 50k a year since the mayor gig paid dick)

Also his second election he literally abused his power to release confidential arrest records on his opponent to smear his record. And he only won the first time by a single vote.

He was placed in the mayor gig to gentrify the town and remove “undesirables”. He is a class traitor from the beginning. He is a rich daddy’s boy who never did any serious work and was bank rolled by privilege. He was happy to take his generational wealth and use that to uproot people from “his” town that he felt didn’t meet the “target demographic”. Neolibs loved this because on paper he raised property values! He lowered crime! But he didn’t do this by addressing any systemic issues or helping the community in any real way. He did it by sweeping problems under the rug

Fuck John fetterman. I unironically hope that pager blows up

The only source I could find was https://forum.warthunder.com/t/all-harrier-2-missing-extreme-maximum-g-factor/245885 this thread from June 21 and some articles referencing it from today and yesterday for some reason even though it’s been months. No idea why they suddenly picked up on it now.

So realistically it has been 66 days since whatever that thing you said

“After Donald Trump we will return to the conditions that created Donald Trump”

There is no allegedly, the dude was a total boomer and literally wrote out instructions on how to dox someone in his notebook which are shown in the federal complaint against him

Literally outlines which sites are free, which ones have free trials, etc

Like you you would think he would just use a text document or bookmarks or something
