@RennickGBR And that is why we have a Labor/Greens Government...majorty of voters are cowards

Speak up - some day it will matter “The Milgram experiment was a famous 1961 Yale University study by psychologist Stanley Milgram. It measured people's willingness to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience, revealing that a surprising majority would inflict extreme, potentially lethal pain on others simply because they were ordered to do so.” •••••••••••••••• Came across this clip while doom scrolling. It’s a great example of what goes on inside political parties and organisations in general, particularly larger ones. Rather than stand up for someone that has clearly been treated poorly, the people in the class just sat there and allowed it to happen. No one spoke up because they were afraid of what was going to happen to them. This scenario plays out everyday across all walks of life, even where there is little downside to calling out bad behaviour. The maltreatment that occurred during Covid was not an aberration. It’s normal. Integrity and conviction matters. I’m often asked why politicians and bureaucrats get away with making unjust decisions. The answer is simple - not enough people speak up to stop the injustice. The world is run by those who turn up. If you don’t get involved in the political process don’t complain when those that do end up controlling you. Maintaining our freedoms takes courage, commitment and perseverance.

@DanWort77392978 @celina101010 They never have an answer for this. They think they're being so profound by proposing stuff like this and then they just shrug. Dumbest cunts.

@celina101010 Who decides if they are incompatible? You based on skin colour or?

“Remigration” is actually an awesome concept to deport millions of foreigners who are incompatible with Australia

@VinegarSyndrome @ZollyBBecker Is that all you ever say?

@ZollyBBecker Right

For a moment I thought VS was doing Aliem

@wilde_at_heart @annbauerwriter People born in 1975 don't like Nirvana? Ok bro...

@annbauerwriter Young Gen X are actually early millennials who wanted the cool factor of belonging among the older set. No real Gen Xer likes Nirvana for instance. Douglas Copeland's book the term was named after, was published in 1990 and referred to people who were already adults.

This is why old Gen X and young Gen X will never get along.

@BelissaCohen @Heccles94 ANYONE THAT IDENTIFIES AS A TRANS PERSON. lol

@Heccles94 Can you define “trans person”? Just so we’re on the same page about what that actually is.

Hating Trans people does nothing to make women’s lives better. It just makes you a bigot.

@MissViolet2199 @BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka I guess the ultimate question is, do you need to be fasting?

@ModChristChurch @BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka Trust me, I have tried that. Fainted for low blood pressure at 3pm lol. I have my small breakfast around 10am. Even when I was skipping breakfast for a month and breaking fasting with lunch around 1pm it was torture. My blood sugar in general is low even after eating.

Roughly 60 days of food is sitting on your body right now. About 131,000 calories of fat, packed and waiting. Your stomach still growls four hours after lunch, and your body treats that fat like a savings account it refuses to spend. Take the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Its job goes way beyond saying "eat now." Ghrelin spikes when the stomach is empty, makes food taste better, and quietly tells fat cells to hold on tighter. Researchers at the French health institute INSERM showed in 2016 that ghrelin pushes the body to store more fat and burn what is already there more slowly, even when appetite stays the same. So the same hormone that yells "I'm hungry" is whispering "but keep the fat just in case." The body burns fuels in a strict order. It keeps about 2,000 calories of fast-access fuel in the liver and muscles, a stored sugar called glycogen. That stash empties in 12 to 24 hours of skipping meals. Only after that does the body get serious about pulling from fat. A 2018 paper in the journal Obesity calls this changeover the metabolic switch, and it does not really flip until 12 to 36 hours into a fast. Four hours after lunch, the fat is barely on the menu. The growling itself is mostly housekeeping. Every 90 to 120 minutes between meals, a hormone called motilin sets off a wave of contractions that sweep leftover food bits, mucus, and stray bacteria through the gut. The noise is that sweeping. Doctors call it the migrating motor complex. It runs on a clock, no matter how much fat is sitting in storage. And the brain raises the alarm first. The brain is only 2% of body weight, but it burns about 20% of all daily energy, and it prefers sugar as fuel. When blood sugar dips even a little, the brain panics long before the body has touched the fat downstairs. For 200,000 years, missing a few meals could mean food was gone for weeks. The body still acts like that famine is one bad day away. The growl is an old security system protecting a savings account the body does not know you want to spend.

@RVanderblight @edward_bernayz Exactly. In-show jerry is a very average comic. That's why he still lives in a one bedroom apartment.

@edward_bernayz aren't they meant to be anti-bits that complement the show but the joke is that the character's such a lame and unfunny comic?

It’s crazy that Jerry Seinfeld had the #1 show in America and those were the best standup bits he could come up with for the intros

@MissViolet2199 @BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka Do you eat as soon as waking up? You may need to really ease into it. Start by skipping breakfast. Then skip lunch the next day, and so on. You're body is designed to fast.

@ModChristChurch @BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka I get such headaches and throw up stomach acids that I had to take time off work each time I tried.

@CJfromWA1 @Caol_MacCormaic When Netflix took off as a production company.

@Caol_MacCormaic The last great period of movies i really believe movies fell off after 2016/17 in terms of production, shooting on location etc

revisiting a lot of my favorite movies from 2006-2016 that I haven't really seen since. I recommend an activity like this, it's rewarding

@Syllamo69 @truthstreamnews @WigglyAir No it didnt

@truthstreamnews @WigglyAir Copyright sure killed all of that now.

people who send you new music are important

@bort17 @truthstreamnews @WigglyAir Ok, but pressing mix vinyls is way more impactful. You have to get the mould, press the vinly, figure out how those grooves work. Tapes are for slackers.

@truthstreamnews @WigglyAir Mix tapes have a little more meaning...since you can drag and drop files on a whole CD in 10 seconds but with tapes, you have to sit through each song to record it.

@Biped_K1 @peterboghossian Who's having an aneurism, over what now? You cunts just make shit up.

@peterboghossian If this were English people in India at one stage they’d have had a collective aneurism. Nobody voted for this cultural and demographic change.

They're abiding by the law, not vandalizing, not looting, not twerking on top of police cars, and not hurting people. From the comments and the quote tweets, you'd think they were involved in violent riots.

@BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka Me too. The best thing to do is start fasting after dinner. As in, have a meal at 6pm, and then nothing the next day. There won't be any nausea. Try and do a 24 hour fast first. So last meal 6pm, next meal 6pm the following day. Then try a 48 fast, etc. You will adapt.

@ModChristChurch @anishmoonka When I get over hungry (like I have breakfast but missed lunch and now it's dinner time for ex), i get nauseous.

@Robinhoodett @heyrimsha That's why Wakanda was so advanced.

@heyrimsha I wonder if she's considered doing a study on people who grow their own food like in "3rd world" countries compared to people who go to the grocery store. I'm willing to guess it would have similar results. I was impressed in west africa by everyone's ingenuity.

An MIT researcher spent four months watching what happens inside the skull of a student who writes with ChatGPT, and the result was so clean that almost nobody outside her lab has read the paper. Her name is Nataliya Kosmyna. She runs experiments at the MIT Media Lab. The study was released in 2025, and the finding is the kind of thing that should have rewritten every syllabus. The setup was simple. She recruited 54 people in Boston. Each one wore an EEG headset that read brain activity across 32 regions of the scalp. They wrote the same kind of essay, over and over again, for four months. One group used ChatGPT. One group used Google. One group used nothing but their own head. Then her team looked at the brain recordings. The students writing alone had the strongest neural connectivity. Memory, language, and attention networks were all firing together. The Google group came in second. The ChatGPT group came last, by a wide margin. Their brains had gone quiet. In a final session, she made the ChatGPT users write without the tool. Their brains stayed quiet. The under-engagement had become the new baseline. Then she asked them to quote a single line from the essay they had just written. Eighty percent of them could not do it. They had not written the essay. The essay had passed through them. Kosmyna calls it cognitive debt. Every shortcut you take with the model is a withdrawal from a part of your brain that was supposed to do the work. The shortcut feels free. It is not.

@BellaDonna925 @anishmoonka What are you going to throw up if your stomach is empty? I've done 5 day fasts. Once you get past the initial discomfort, it's actually very easy. You adjust.

@anishmoonka You're telling me all this and it makes the idea of trying to lose excess fat/weight sound futile. The only way to break it down is to fast for 12-24 hours? I'll be starving and start throwing up. That's not practical 😣

@HerbieSRT @SeanSemanko Remember when NBC was owned by GE, among other things, a weapons manufacturer? Remember Iraq 2.0? God, I miss that sweet monocultre.

@SeanSemanko Remember Thursday night's sitcom lineup? And when late night talk shows were non-political for the most part?

What is the biggest TV show right now? For once, I can’t even think of what it could be. Monoculture is so dead.

@imPatrickT This movie cost $45 million dollars in 2003... That's $81 million, adjusted for inflation. Hardly a 'bargain bin' film...

in the 2000s you could throw on a $4.99 DVD bin thriller and it would look like this

@Belorris People are still watching The Boys?

if you’re MAGA and enjoy watching “the boys,” do yall think homelander is the hero? or do you just convince yourself that the show isn’t about you?

@ScottTheAmazing @supergeekmike

@supergeekmike TDK is a bit like Rogue One where because some parts of it are so good you are totally fine looking past the rest of the flaws in it. TDKR on the other hand is bad and should be criticized more.

Here’s the thing: TDK is actually an easy movie to pick apart. There’s plot holes, some truly bad dialogue- it’s flawed. But none of that matters because from shot 1, the movie has you by the balls. You’re just along for the ride. A perfect example of how movies are not math.

@supergeekmike I think the movie Pi was kinda math.
