she actually cleared them so bad i’m crying😭

Enough. It's been almost 30 years. Time for the Sopranos remake we've all been craving

why women can’t find a spouse

i encourage everyone to make at least one personal, artistic edit in their lives. it is a medium which is unique to the period in which we live and we ought to use it more whilst we're here

i have zero desire to play anything that’s a “numbers” game. it’s just not my thing. if i don’t have any insight/arbitrage/advantage, i just never feel like playing. it’s like writing a brute force algorithm, just feels pretty fucking icky. i.e. brute forcing seems like an absolute insult to the problem.

Reactive oxygen species, or ROS, are unstable molecules produced during energy metabolism. Most people only hear about them as damage, but that is already a distortion of the biology. Red light devices can increase ROS, and in a stable tissue that can be useful. Small increases can act as signals that trigger repair, antioxidant defence, and adaptation. But the exact same signal can become another layer of stress in a tissue that is already overloaded. That is the part the red light industry barely talks about. ROS is not automatically healing just because it is signalling. In a tissue that is already inflamed, oxidised, or near its limit, more signalling can simply mean more damage. That is the conundrum. The mechanism does not change, but the meaning of the mechanism does. The same ROS signal can support repair in one state and push oxidative stress further in another. Some people feel better after red light, while others feel wired, drained, or more inflamed. That is exactly what you would expect if the same signal can support repair in one state and add oxidative load in another. This matters because the body is not one uniform system. Different tissues can be repairing, overloaded, inflamed, or failing at the same time, which means the same device can be helpful in one place and mistimed in another. So red light is not acting on a blank canvas. It is adding oxidative pressure to a tissue that may be ready to use that signal well, or may already be too close to breaking point. ROS is not the problem. The problem is pretending a stressed tissue always needs more signalling.

"Young women, aged between 18 and 30, are by far the most progressive demographic in the UK. They are also much more pessimistic about the future. They also feel much more negatively towards young men than young men feel about them."

🚨Wow! Major Trump-Vance policy shift just dropped: Foreign aid will now go straight to national governments — no more routing billions through NGOs. This cuts out the middlemen who’ve turned taxpayer dollars into their own bloated business model. Effect on NGOs: Many will see their funding evaporate overnight. Expect mass layoffs, shrinking budgets, and some outfits shutting down entirely. The entire aid-industrial complex just took a body blow — no more endless grift. America First is finally hitting the middlemen where it hurts.
