Apparently comprehending that proposing to create a virus identical to SARS-COV2 (see the DARPA grant) in the Wuhan lab and then observing the identical virus suddenly appearing in the same city some years later is a "conspiracy theory"

@GadSaad 'privilege' card. What a joke

This is Canada. The nation has turned into a delusional feminized orgy of suicidal empathy and rejection of reason.

@MarcNixon24 What a fucking loser. I remember back when this guy was a prof at Mount Royal. I even remember when he had a somewhat fresh mayoral campaign way back in 2010 before Wokeism existed

BREAKING: Naheed Nenshi says 13-year-old biological MALES should compete in girls sports in Alberta Let me get this straight… The OLYMPICS are banning it in 2028 But Alberta should go the opposite direction?

@heyshipz Sekiro -Demon of hatred

What game is this?

@CTVNews GOOD! Unbelievable this was allowed to occur in the first place. What a propaganda filled, enforced Wokeism religion disaster

@ShaneWenzel Appreciate that Shane. Appreciate your voice here. It is 100% inappropriate to think taxpayers should be funding festivals and parades appealing to certain groups sexual identities. It's totally insane. If these groups want a parade they can pay for it themselves

Shaking my head at this as a gay man. Pride matters, but festivals warn they might scale back without federal funding due to rising costs. Taxpayers shouldn't bear this burden. Many groups face similar pressures and still fundraise and adapt. Pride should be no different. Community support and accountability are essential.

@timeproofgames I just absolutely loved this arcade game as a kid

@yegwave GOOD!!! End the pathetic rule of this religion over our society.

Didsbury town council has passed a bylaw banning decorative flags and non-standard crosswalks from public property, restricting displays to government flags and standard road markings only.

@GlobalCalgary @222Minutes Good!!! Get the religious propaganda off the roads

Didsbury has passed a public spaces neutrality bylaw, restricting the Alberta community to flying only government flags and maintaining standardized road and crosswalk markings. globalnews.ca/news/11746026/…

@FromSoftCentral Haha Bloodborne by a literal factor of 10.

Two of FromSoft's best games released today: Dark Souls III (10 years ago) and Bloodborne (11 years ago)! Which game do you enjoy more? 🤔

@Martyupnorth Technically I am gen X as born in 81 but often think of myself as a very early millennial

@aakashgupta 'protocal' for wearing a hat 😂😂😆😆

There’s actual neuroscience behind why this feels so bad. Your brain maintains a continuous internal model of your physical appearance. Researchers call it the “body schema,” a real-time map your nervous system updates constantly based on proprioceptive feedback, visual input, and years of mirror exposure. When you put a hat on a head that hasn’t worn hats regularly, two things happen simultaneously. First, your somatosensory cortex registers unfamiliar pressure and weight distribution across your scalp. That signal alone triggers a low-grade alertness response. Second, and this is the part that actually matters, your brain’s prediction engine flags a mismatch between your internal self-model and your current visual presentation. That mismatch activates the anterior cingulate cortex, the same region that fires during social error detection. Your brain is literally running the same circuit it uses when you say something embarrassing at a dinner party. The hat didn’t change how other people see you. It changed how accurately you can predict how other people see you. And your nervous system treats that uncertainty as threat. Here’s the protocol that actually works. Wear the hat alone for 20 minutes before leaving. Not in front of a mirror. Just around the house. You’re giving your body schema time to integrate the new input before adding the social evaluation layer on top of it. The people who “look natural” in hats wore them enough that the object stopped generating prediction errors. There’s no hat gene. There’s just accumulated exposure until the anterior cingulate stops firing.

@iwan_ross It's seriously getting annoying this frequency of this post. Get lost - becoming a total pest. I don't know what it is about why I am seeing it so much but it's getting annoying

@Johnny_suputama I love this show !!!

New season of Midnight Diner coming this fall.

@Source_options This was hilarious 😆😂

Trading changes you. Not in a few months… Not even in a year. Year 1 You think you figured it out. Year 2 The market humbles you. Year 3 You almost quit. Most traders disappear here. But if you keep going… You stop chasing trades. You start understanding structure. You start controlling risk. And one day you realize something. The market didn't become easier. You just became a better trader. If you're still here learning and fighting… Respect.

@aakashgupta Truly fascinating post

Your brain peaked musically somewhere around age 16. Everything since then has been a dopamine echo. Between the ages of 12 and 22, the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, the same circuit that processes cocaine and sex, fires at levels in response to sound that it will never reach again for the rest of your life. A 2011 McGill study used PET scans and fMRI simultaneously and found that music triggers dopamine release in the striatum at peak emotional arousal. The caudate nucleus lights up during anticipation of the good part. The nucleus accumbens lights up when it hits. Your brain is treating a guitar riff with the same reward architecture it uses for food-seeking and pair bonding. During adolescence, that response is dramatically amplified. Pubertal hormones are flooding the system. The prefrontal cortex is still wiring itself. Memories formed during this window get encoded with a density of emotional tagging that nothing in your 30s or 40s can replicate. Researchers at the University of Leeds identified this as the “reminiscence bump”: the period when your sense of self is forming, and the music playing during that formation becomes structurally integrated into your identity. A 2025 longitudinal study from the University of Gothenburg analyzed 40,000 users’ streaming data across 15 years. Younger listeners explored broadly across genres. Older listeners collapsed into increasingly narrow loops, almost entirely anchored to music from their teens and early twenties. Your brain stopped losing interest in new music years ago. It’s running a cost-benefit analysis. Familiar songs deliver guaranteed dopamine with zero processing cost. New songs require pattern recognition, expectation-building, and repeated exposure before the reward circuit kicks in. Past 25, most people stop paying that tax. The one variable that predicts whether someone keeps exploring: the personality trait “openness to experience.” Score high, you keep seeking. Score average, you default to the familiar forever. The fix, if you want one: deliberate exposure. Three listens minimum before your auditory cortex builds enough predictive models to generate a reward response. One passive listen on a playlist will never get there. Your brain needs repetition to find the pattern, and it needs the pattern to release dopamine.

@antibioticpig It's interesting timing because I am going to Japan in May and have already been planning for months now to buy my first Seiko there....

@scoopercooper I read this. But I am confused. What standard of prosecution was not met ? Like why are these changes being dropped !?

@MurrayHillGuy1 I know I consumed alcohol only a handful of times in 2025 and 2026 is going the same way so far

A lot of my friends have quietly stopped drinking this past year. Not some big sobriety announcement… they just don’t feel like paying $25 for poison, ruining their sleep, and wasting the entire next day anymore. Low key feels like alcohol is becoming less “cool.” Anyone else noticing this?

@Lord_Arse Oh GOD I loved them !!!
