Earth posted:You just jogged my memory. They DID reference the "Obamacare" and said something like, "Oh, just like how you read about Obamacare right before you voted on it." Are you the one who has posted here saying that you track what's going on in Fox News land to keep track of their talking points? It's loving unreal that they are literally spouting propaganda talking points at Lowes. If you ever watch fox news you can pretty quickly figure out what every conservative in the country is going to be talking about all day and probably also forever

Mummy Xzibit posted:While I truly think the link between suicide and gun ownership is real and pressing, I'm more concerned by the link between gun ownership and violence against a spouse or relative. Bad point aside having a gun in your house increases the risk of successful suicide for everyone in the house, not just the owner.

The reality is people are on their phones constantly and that's a huge social 'force field' or signal not to approach someone in person. We've moved all romance and flirting to apps and those apps are not an equal marketplace--only the cream rises to the top and sees success with them (lots of good data in this article about how the apps are only working for a small group of people that present well on them: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/the-sex-recession/573949/ ). So it makes sense that for people who present well and figure out how to game the apps they'll have great success with lots of partners, while others are just swiping and swiping and swiping with no luck.

Critical posted:Honest question: Does anyone in here even watch TV regularly? I haven't even turned on Netflix in a couple years now. The only thing i watched was Game of Thrones and I have zero interest in the new season. Thanks depression! Was thinking about this the other day, I watch maybe 20 hours of live TV a year, broadcast over the air or on cable at a friend's house. So I see very very little live advertising. The series shows are all watched with no commercials on Netflix or similar. It really feels like you are less susceptible to bullshit when you're not being fed corporate propaganda 24/7.

Stereotype posted:One of the reasons it is hard to get animals to breed in captivity is because reproductive drive is the first thing you lose when you are stressed out. Thats why you have to make their cages super big and nice and as stress free as possible. Let's not also forget this massive "hustle" culture that has become the individualistic "solution" to systemic economic problems. Every last minute of your day has to be optimized towards "getting ahead" lest you fall behind. It starts earlier and earlier in life and it's toxic as gently caress.

TheScott2K posted:Maybe it happened, but I don't trust a thing Yashar says. He is a clown who lives for Twitter drama. I don't trust a managing editor for NBC news either. Which is sort of our general systemic failure in a nutshell. No one can be trusted, even people who are supposed to hold positions that give them trust. Same with the Smollett case or Avenatti's ongoing adventures. With Smollett I don't trust a rich actor, two stunt men/personal trainers, or the CPD, or the FBI. With Avantatii I don't trust him or the cops or Trump or his pornstar former client. I'm pretty sure everyone is lying for various different reasons for money and no one is on the same page and I wish I had gone into the grifting business because it seems super easy.

Thats why you have to make their cages super big and nice and as stress free as possible. https://io9.gizmodo.com/how-rats-turned-their-private-paradise-into-a-terrifyin-1687584457 In 1972, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a mouse paradise with beautiful buildings and limitless food. He introduced eight mice to the population. Two years later, the mice had created their own apocalypse. Here's why. Universe 25 was a giant box designed to be a rodent utopia. The trouble was, this utopia did not have a benevolent creator. John B. Calhoun had designed quite a few mouse environments before he got to the 25th one, and didn't expect to be watching a happy story. Divided into "main squares" and then subdivided into levels, with ramps going up to "apartments," the place looked great, and was always kept stocked with food, but its inhabitants were doomed from the get-go. Universe 25 started out with eight mice, four males and four females. By day 560, the mouse population reached 2,200, and then steadily declined back down to unrecoverable extinction. At the peak population, most mice spent every living second in the company of hundreds of other mice. They gathered in the main squares, waiting to be fed and occasionally attacking each other. Few females carried pregnancies to term, and the ones that did seemed to simply forget about their babies. They'd move half their litter away from danger and forget the rest. Sometimes they'd drop and abandon a baby while they were carrying it. The few secluded spaces housed a population Calhoun called, "the beautiful ones." Generally guarded by one male, the females—- and few males — inside the space didn't breed or fight or do anything but eat and groom and sleep. When the population started declining the beautiful ones were spared from violence and death, but had completely lost touch with social behaviors, including having sex or caring for their young. In 1972, with the baby boomers coming of age in a ever-more-crowded world and reports of riots in the cities, Universe 25 looked like a Malthusian nightmare. It even acquired its own catchy name, "The Behavioral Sink." If starvation didn't kill everyone, people would destroy themselves. The best option was to flee to the country or the suburbs, where people had space and life was peaceful and natural. Today, the experiment remains frightening, but the nature of the fear has changed. A recent study pointed out that Universe 25 was not, if looked at as a whole, too overcrowded. Pens, or "apartments" at the very end of each hallway had only one entrance and exit, making them easy to guard. This allowed more aggressive territorial males to limit the number mice in that pen, overcrowding the rest of the world, while isolating the few "beautiful ones" who lived there from normal society. Instead of a population problem, one could argue that Universe 25 had a fair distribution problem. The fact remains that it had a problem, and one that eventually led to its destruction. If this behavior is shared by both mice and humans, can we escape Universe 25's fate?

cargo cult posted:does anyone know andrew bacevich's personal politics like outside of his foreign policy criticism stuffo This is a great question; he’s one of our most prescient and insightful military historians working today, and outside of his views on that stuff, it’s hard to pin him down. He just doesn’t talk about stuff outside his wheelhouse. There is one passage in America’s War for the Greater Middle East which is kinda revealing though; he talks about the equation of cheap gas equaling freedom, and makes no bones about that being the reality of part of the myth of American freedom, and uses that to drive into his unequivocal belief that we are over there and have only ever been involved over there since Carter because of oil. If I had to guess he’s gotten to be something of a left liberal, based on that passage and the general disrespect Trump has for the ostensible purposes of the military and his specific criticisms and statements of/on military dead or their families.
