The findings in a nut shell:

“Heterosexual men who play extreme metal guitar do not seem to be doing it to attract women, as has been suspected about musicians of other genres,” DeLecce told PsyPost. “Instead, it seems they are trying to impress and/or intimidate other heterosexual men with their skills.”

Also researchers mention their study suffers from small sample size.

The Chicago-style dog changed my life. For a while on the East Coast I would only have ketchup or maybe ketchup and mustard with a hot dog.

Then I tried a Chicago-style dog and I never looked back:

• poppy seed bun, steamed
• All beef dog
• yellow mustard
• pickle relish
• chopped white onion
• tomato slice
• dill pickle spear
• pickled sport peppers
• celery salt

Ukraine used to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It dates back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in '91. All of those Russian satellite countries, including Russia itself had to deal with organized crime and oligarchs and the turmoil and discord they sowed.

This is not a criticism of Ukraine as much as it is an attempt to show those issues don't just go away in war time, in fact it can extrapolate and make matters much worse as criminals and oligarchs engage in War Profiteering.

I'm actually quite proud of Ukraine and Zelenskyy for keeping a lid on many of those unsavory elements and leading a very effective war against a foreign invader.

China... because China is a black hole of information and will steal anything and everything for hegemonic advantage. If that DNA belongs to family or friends of powerful people, that could lead to a future blackmail advantage

Russia, because fuck the West.

I don't doom scroll.

I read a copy of my local, still-Independent newspaper free every morning with digital access to my library.

I vote in every local, State and Federal election.

I vote Progressive in the Primaries and Democrat in the General.

I say 'Yes' to any/all referendums that Tax the wealthy.

That's about all I can do without financially impacting my family or my career. If it was feasible I'd maybe even start attending my Town Hall meetings just to get a barometer reading on my local Council Members.

Crazy thing is I'm 36yo, and sanity checks have required me to act like a 60yo from the 90s... minus the 'got mine' Boomer attitude.

True Detective S04 + Minecraft.

I feel like the 'adult crime drama' meets 'child's blocky sandbox' combination would not complement each other at all.

The State is absolutely necessary to U.S. interests in the Middle East.

Tell me you're getting dark money by Putin, without telling me you're getting dark money from Putin.

Okay, deal. But they keep everything from Season 1 and 2 exactly the same, and then take seasons 3 and 4 in a new direction.

Step 1. Russia admits it's losing the war in Ukraine... Continue to send Russian men to the meat grinder because Putin gonna Putin.

Step 2. Make tentative pacts with Iran, North Korea, and China (On the down-low) to provide equipment and continue funding the war.

Step 3. Apply leverage to compromised GOP assets to halt U.S. war funding.

Step 4. Supply Iran with Intelligence gained from compromised and twice-impeached U.S. President Donald Trump about how to attack Israel, and convince them to provide that to Hamas to provoke a war.

Step 5. Continue back-channelling with China to increase threats or even encourage invasion of Taiwan.

Step 6. Hope that the U.S. has to use war funds to choose between protecting Taiwan, supporting Israel or supporting Ukraine.

Step 7. Ramp up support for far-right candidates in key Ukraine-supporting allies elections, including U.S. France and Germany.

Step 8. Attempt to win war of attrition against Ukraine as funding/manpower dries up for Ukraine.

Y'all have to general strike or something

I was on reddit for 12 years. My time spent on that platform and posting directly correlates to when I first found it (posted a lot) vs. when I quit earlier this year.

Reddit in it's infancy was great and the users and the subreddits, with a few notable exceptions were great too.

Once it got too big/popular... About 6 years ago you could note the decline and quality of the posting

(5) Cheap propaganda to further destabilize American institutions and hegemony

"Anyone not powerful, rich or politically-connected enough to scrub their names from the record will be shown."

This is 100% going to fuck all of the victims and none of the perpetrators.

1 of 2 political parties in America is basically stating "we do not care how morally bankrupt you are, if you always tow the party line, we will give you power and cover."

Your average Joe, unless they are an idiot, already sees the GOP for what it is and would stay away. But for a ghoul, the GOP seems like a great place to have certain proclivities and then the power and shield to ensure you can't be prosecuted.

It's aimed at the U.S. Government. There's been an absolutely massive shift to get to Windows 10, updating systems as old as Windows 2000 to get there. MS advertised Windows 10 as their final OS, eventually backtracking and releasing Windows 11 and will continue to make iterative releases in the future. But for a moment The Government believed it and thought it was a great time to bite the bullet and go all in. Now that most major systems are upgraded to W10, it's doubtful from my perspective that U.S.G. will be able to support or migrate to W11 or even W12, meaning they will most likely pay a lot of money over many many years to keep MS providing security updates for the W10 platform.

I know at least a couple million, but probably not a billion reasons why
