Making sense of nonsense

@ChrisWillx Now break it down by attractiveness…

Everyone wants to be asked out more. 2,315 people were asked “Do you wish people hit on you more or less?” 92% of men said they wish they were approached more. There’s a moderate sex difference, but even among women, 69% wished they were hit on more. Shoot your shot, folks. — @CostelloWilliam

@danieldkingsley @TheFigen_ While the white car is in the wrong, it does not give the dark car tailgating the right to do so. The single biggest mistake people make that causes accidents is following too close because they’re in a hurry. You don’t have the time to react. Minimum following distance = 2 sec

The white car is the bigger asshole here. Deliberately caused an accident as a middle finger to the tailgater. Could have killed somebody. Didn't care. Oh, and they were blocking the left lane. The other car learned that tailgating is dangerous even if the guy in front is a jackass.

Those drivers who are in a hurry and want everyone to get out of their way, driving right up behind them to "pressure" them.

@TangTangTangity @NataniaMarshall .

@NataniaMarshall Yeah! I hope you enjoy being a wife and mom while I enjoy being child free and having my academic and career success! Having the legal right and social equity to choose and enjoy your own lifestyle is what feminism is all about! You go girlie!

To all the feminists, I hope you have so much fun being a corporate girl boss, while I enjoy being a married submissive wife with a bunch of babies.

@Hitchslap1 Because it’s not something that can be changed, and it’s the luck of the draw.

More IQ is obviously better than less. Why do so many people deny this obvious fact? Very strange.

@ClownWorld @TheJoeySwoll we got one for you

@GlynnErnesto @kevin_smith45 Babies develop a heart beat by 4 weeks. It’s very early.

@kevin_smith45 Most abortions never develop a heartbeat. And please don't be one of those people who confuses vibrating cardiac tissue for a heartbeat Kevin.

Now do unborn babies

@ChadSchehr @IterIntellectus @JDHaltigan Fee free to try Google.

@MakingSense010 @IterIntellectus @JDHaltigan Can you share stats around that?

the fact that women went from minority to supermajority at every degree level in two generations is the reason why degrees became worthless

@Factunfactual @BTCBreadMan @grok Yes. It’s increasing calories back over maintenance. It keeps the body from squashing basal metabolic rate and non-exercise induced activity — both of which make up about 80% of calories burned. EAT is very little. Think of it as a stair step approach with calorie reduction.

@MakingSense010 @BTCBreadMan @grok Reverse dieting you say... is that just a fancy way of saying overeating?

My best friend is 36 years old. His wife is pretty, but she’s big. Like, really big. He’s being patient with her because she’s dieting and exercising, but she’s only lost a couple lbs in 6 months despite being in a “calorie deficit”. How do I explain to him that it’s impossible to stay fat on a calorie deficit, and that she’s obviously lying to him?

@BTCBreadMan @grok Some people have to lose weight in stages if they have been overweight for a long time. Reverse dieting every several weeks will help their metabolism from severely clamping down on NEAT and BMR. NEAT will drop even if EAT goes up, which is only 5% of calories burned.

@grok is this true? Can some people survive forever with no food? And would they be ideally suited to survive on a dessert island?

@bryan_johnson Since when did “forever chemicals” get replaced by the term everywhere chemicals?

This is not good. “Everywhere chemicals” leaching from plastics may have contributed to 1.97 million preterm births and 74,000 newborn deaths worldwide in one year (2018), with an estimated 6.69 million years of life lost. Born at 28 weeks. The child faces: 7x the risk of hearing impairment 5x the risk of vision abnormalities 3x the odds of dental enamel defects 2x the odds of developmental delay Previous U.S. analysis found that prenatal phthalate exposure was associated with increased preterm birth risk. Mothers in the highest 10% of DEHP exposure had about a 50% higher chance of preterm birth than those in the lowest 10%, and phthalates were linked to about 56,595 preterm births in the US in 2018. "Everywhere chemicals" are phthalate derivatives added to plastics to make them softer, they leach into the environment and into food, where they have been linked to health risks including birth and developmental disruptions. These chemicals have been associated with inflammation, endocrine and metabolic disruption, and in pregnant women may disrupt placental and maternal-fetal pathways, which could contribute to preterm birth sometimes. Preterm birth is linked to a dramatically higher risk of newborn death: one large study found nearly 16 fold higher neonatal mortality versus term birth, and a global meta analysis estimated that 8% of babies born preterm die within the first 28 days, rising to 40% in extremely preterm infants. Phthalates (especially DEHP) exposure damages adults too, with those in the highest third of exposure showing 42% increased all-cause mortality compared to being in the lowest third.

@ChadSchehr @IterIntellectus @JDHaltigan Where did I say anything about admission? I’m talking about grade inflation and the difficulty of the curriculum. It’s very watered down now.

@MakingSense010 @IterIntellectus @JDHaltigan That’s not true. Admission rates were higher in the 70s than they are in modern times. nces.ed.gov/programs/diges…

@BasedHypnotist The podcast telepathy tapes.

I’m convinced that autistic people have some form of mild telepathy.

@middle_class_us Agree but the 1970s did send thousands of jobs overseas. It’s why every manufacturing part of a city still the slums to this day.

Older generations say “we all struggled.” Yes. But not like this. You didn’t graduate into debt + no job security. You didn’t compete with global labor + AI. You didn’t pay modern rent on entry-level pay. This isn’t the same struggle. It’s a different game entirely.

@kenzietuff Just go look on Reddit. Any advice now is “leave them, get divorced, break up, etc”. Someone showed an analysis of Reddit advice, which mirrors this. After 2020, it seems people really started hating others being happy and seem to find comfort in others misery.

If you’re a wife you need to understand 99% of media you see is trying to convince you to hate your husband/children. If you cannot handle this and stay grounded, log off. Constant stream of anti-family, spousal resentment propaganda. Most modern divorces are a result of this.

@mom_of_littles It’s not fake. Structural differences in the brain have been measured, such as smaller gray matter volume. It’s well-documented.

@s8mb If productivity is lower, that’s a you problem. Myself and many others are significantly more productive. People aren’t stopping by to have 15 minute pointless conversations. Fewer distractions. More productivity.

I’m not a “work from home” guy by any means. But I’ve done it a bit lately and it’s certainly nice to see my family during the day. I can see why it’s so popular. But, and it’s a big but, my productivity is unquestionably lower. There’s just no substitute for the office.

@AndrewSouthwol1 @benwehrman The confusion has been perpetuated because of tik tok videos ripping on boomers when most of them are unaware what years they were actually born and held powerful positions to make such decisions. They certainly weren’t capable of doing that between 0 to 20 years old.

@AndrewSouthwol1 @benwehrman They may have been complicit & reaped the benefits, but they were not the ones in the driver’s seat. This is what I’m trying to point out. People think boomers started the downfall in the 60s & 70s. Some of them were still in diapers… People are always confusing generations

How boomers will "hand over the reins" to younger generations

@ButlerofThanos @benwehrman Silent generation held high ranking positions in corporations and politics until 1990-2010. Boomers may have facilitated things or did nothing to improve it, but they were not the ones who created the situation. The post-war manufacturing era was the downfall + feminism.

The mistakes might have been made by the Greatest & Silent generations, the problem is that by the time the error was clear and obvious the Boomers chose to do nothing (because the problems didn't directly effect them) they doubled down with offshoring, importing foreign scabs (H1Bs), and making it impossible to reform entitlements. Boomers rightfully earn every bit of the hate they receive.
