Hell yes. Dating in my thirties has been 10x better than my dating attempts in my twenties. Not to mention with how the trend is moving with gen z’s dating/sex lives? For them dating in their thirties is going to be…like, their main dating life.

I only read the unpaywalled portion in the beginning, but I didn’t see that. I assume you got the whole article, would you mind sharing any relevant bits that gave you this feeling? (Or copy/pasting the whole text? That’d be awesome)

I mean, games are like interactive movies now. RDR2? Cyberpunk 2077? They’re great fiction and you get to be the main character. I was never a gamer, I would play here and there but could never play more than like an hour a day. Now? Especially the two games I mentioned, it blew my mind how much I could play those games. They’re excellent pieces of media.

Am I the only one that thought that walking animation looked…terrible? And for a cinematic trailer. So jittery and stiff. Or am I just trippin?

I actually don’t know what that is! I got all this knowledge working in the pet food industry. Vegetarian diets are such a bummer. Like, if you get an animal, it’s on you to adapt to their needs, not them adapting to your principles! I get that it’s hard for some vegans/vegetarians to handle meat—but in that case…don’t get an animal that needs it lol

There’s unfortunately so much misinformation, and a lot of it is pushed by the kibble companies. Did you know that most veterinarian schools are at least partially funded by purina, Iams, etc? The fact that most vets offices sell science diet for insane markups should be a huge tip off. So unfortunately the lies run deep. It’s not surprising so many people fall for it—like the myth that kibble cleans your pet’s teeth!? What poppycock! Do crackers and croutons clean our teeth? Hell no. And there is an enzyme in the saliva of dogs that actually turns the necessary starches to bind kibble into sugar. Hence the pandemic of tooth decay in so many.

Cats will actually eat until they get the necessary nutrients from their food, unlike us where we stop when we’re full, regardless of how good the food actually is. So a cat free feeding terrible food can become obese fairly easily.

Kibble is the absolute worst thing you can feed cats. It’s usually at least half fillers and binders. They’re obligate carnivores so raw meat or high quality canned food where it’s mostly meat with some hydrating broth or something is as good as it gets for them.

I get and understand the concept of what you’re trying to say, but it’s more than a bit of a reach to say it’s in play here, I think. Not fitting in the complicated history of untested rape kits and leniency in sentencing based on the rapists’ backgrounds and the socioeconomic backgrounds and skin color of the victims into a headline about climate protesters having the book thrown at them isn’t bias. It’s just kinda superfluous information in regards to the topic at hand.

I get it, it’s a massive problem. And one that desperately needs to be addressed. I just don’t think it extends to this article. Bias can be subtle and often is. And I understand that trying to point it out can be like trying to catch smoke in a butterfly net. But the subtlety of it cuts both ways, and I just think you happen to be on the wrong side of that divide. Just my opinion, though. That’s the great thing about subtlety and nuance, it’s up for discussion.

I think you’re giving CNN too much credit. So much so that it dips into conspiracy logic.

Never over complicate and attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance and greed. Why would they do this? Because it’s clickbait. It’s a jarring word, and they want people to visit the site. Rapist are under convicted, yes. But to spin an entire web about the wording in the headline? C’mon. The body uses the suggested sentences for each crime as reference, which is why they could use the attention grabbing headline.

Guys, it’s possible for two things to be true at the same time. Hamas can be a brutal fundamentalist group that abuses and murders Palestinians while Israel commits genocide. Nuance needs to come back in fashion—or come back from the dead.

Well they also love homophobia and transphobia but then the redder states and more outspoken critics constantly get caught looking at gay and trans porn. There is causation here, not just correlation.

 

Rough plot synopsis:

A skinny white cop (I believe with a mustache, brown hair), is depressed. Maybe something happened with his daughter dying or a divorce, maybe both. It was kind of an auteur type film. He ends up going on some sort of reckless crusade against the department, maybe? I remember something about an alcoholic priest too, but that might’ve been another trailer I saw around that time. Or maybe he was an alcoholic himself. (Again, this is a fuzzy memory, sorry.) A scene I vaguely remember is he’s shirtless and maybe his cop car is burning? Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? I really want to find it, it’s been bugging me for literally years. Thanks!

 

I mean, fuck ConEd, amiright? More like CON ed. Gottem.

So I started looking through the ESCO list, I’m hoping to get a little feedback from anyone else who’s already researched or who already uses one they like or dislike.

I’d love to use some renewables, and/or save some money. I’m very annoyed that my service charges are almost always higher than my usage costs. I mean, what the fuck? Are they Ticketmaster? There’s no way they need to be taking that much. Absurd.

So. Anyone?

 
 

I’ve always been thin. So now that I’m getting in shape, achieving abs and upper body strength was relatively straightforward.

But my ribs have always shown. Especially the bottom of my rib cage. Maybe the last three or four ribs, and it just looks weird. Is there something people would recommend, either diet-wise or (preferably) workouts to target that specific area?

Help would be appreciated!
