You can even not use it if you live in the US. There's nothing that enforces you put a date in there (and nothing to verify if it's correct, which is why people say it's not age verification).

Even the author of BNW wasn't sure of the world really was a dystopia or not. A lot of people do seem to have a lot of freedom, and most seem happy (or at least, not unhappy). Sure, a lot of questionable things have been done to achieve that goal, but if 99% is happy with their life; can it really be a dystopia?

Half-Life Alyx came out in 2020 and was pretty good.

There is a correlation between height and dick size, but it's quite small. IIRC for every 20cm or so in height you get 1cm in dick on average, but it varies enough that it's no certainty a tall guy has a larger dick.

Also fun fact: studies into penis size correlating with other factors can be broadly generalised into two categories: measured studies, which is where doctors will measure the penis when erect in a consistent manner, and self-reported studies, where people just tell a researcher how big it is.

Self-reported studies generally come back with results like "black people have larger dicks, Asians have shorter dicks" etc... But in measured studies, it turns out that worldwide penis size is basically all the same. It's people self-reporting their own size + a correction for what they think they should have (nobody wants to be below average). In places with high porn consumption, penises tend to "be larger", because that's what men see and they want to have the same. Only in countries that tend to censor genitalia in porn do you find people actually self-report a size that's essentially the same as their actual size (which usually happens to be Asian countries). That, plus the whole "BBC" genre in porn, essentially explains the self-reported racial differences in dick size.

Also fun: self-reported studies overestimate average dick size by approx. 2cm. Self-reported the average is about 15cm, but when actually measured it drops to about 13cm (which also happens to be 6 inches and just over 5 inches respectively; see the psychological effect there?).

He's done his best to scrub the footage, but here's an interview where he's questioned about it, and he defends doing it as a joke. The video also has a short snippet of the footage where he does shove it up his ass.

It's easier to find screenshots of the whole incident, video is harder to come by.

The cultural aspect is 90% of it. If you look at the statistics over longer periods of time (eg several decades), you can tell when a specific dog breed becomes the "fashion choice" for irresponsible owners. Those dog breeds suddenly become "more dangerous" than other breeds.

Great Danes, Labradors, many breeds were considered the most dangerous in the past before Pitbulls were. In some countries you also get different "most dangerous" dog breeds than other countries.

And there's quite a bit of research suggesting that although some bites are obviously more physically dangerous than others (a Chihuahua doesn't cause injuries as severe as a Pitbull could cause), the dog's aggressiveness or personality is actually not that genetically predetermined. Sure, there's a bit that is, but it's nowhere near enough to explain the dog bite statistics with purely the dog breed as the cause.

The Guardian is decent. Articles can definitely be opinionated and not all columnists are equally good, but I haven't read anything particularly egregious yet. And their investigative journalism is quite good compared to other media outlets imo.

They also clearly mark articles that are old as being old (warning you to check more recent sources), which I quite like.

It's one of the few outlets that seems to have an opinion rather than an agenda, if that makes sense. Their viewpoint is left of center, but they make this fairly clear and they're pretty factual and offer nuanced alternative viewpoints most of the time. They don't seem like they're sneakily trying to convince you of stuff, it's just a "Here's what we think about what happened".

Doesn't higher interests mean more money is spent paying those interests, meaning less money is available to spend on other things which in turn reduces the monetary supply in circulation which curbs inflation?

For a month, we'd talk about aliens. Then, we'd talk about Trump or Musks latest shit takes about aliens.

"Sociopathy" as a concept predates the DSM. Although these days it's not considered a "diagnosis" anymore, the set of disorders that were considered typical for sociopaths has now been grouped under ASPD. Nonetheless, the term "sociopath" stuck around and still refers to people who we would now likely give an ASPD diagnosis under the DSM.

Your claim that people with autism are considered sociopaths is just plain wrong. The etymology of a word doesn't necessarily define its meaning. As an example, take the word "retard". It used to have a diagnostic meaning, though these days it's obviously not in the DSM anymore. Etymologically it just means "someone who is slow/late", but if you call your colleague who is a little late for a meeting a retard, you're going to get called to HR.

I'm sure the Democrats will consider your message carefully as Trump starts bombing those brown kids.

Parties cater to voters, not to non-voters. If the voters chose Trump, they will move towards his policies, including on Israel. You will achieve the opposite of what you want.

But I'm sure the Palestinians will appreciate the hollow gesture.

I can understand your principles, but the world, and specifically the US election system, doesn't give a shit about them. Not voting always results in the party you dislike most gaining an advantage. That is the net result of your actions.

Hold your nose if you must, but Palestinians can't afford a Republican president. Biden, for all his many faults, at least pushes for a peace.
