This "micro-cheating" bullshit does more harm to monogamous relationships than a million poly memoirs ever could. (Also: If someone accuses you of "micro-cheating" and dumps you, they did you a favor.)

Not just "world economy." World itself.
Phillips P. OBrien@PhillipsPOBrien
Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

10% of ALL Meta revenue comes from ads for scams & banned goods. $16 BILLION a year.
Zuckerberg has known about this for a long time. But he has *deliberately* decided to do nothing about it.
Why is Mark Zuckerberg not in prison?

This tweet got over 1M views so we made it a video: How much money does Meta make by enabling crimes? "Internal docs leaked to Reuters show: • 10% of all Meta revenue comes from ads for scams & banned goods ($16B/year) • Meta estimates it's involved in 1/3 of all successful scams in the US • That suggests they drive $50B in scam losses for US consumers alone each year • Meta earns ~$3B annually from scam/banned goods ads run by Chinese operations alone..."

I don't know. Much as I despise the guy, I don't see how it's "offensive" to mention Pearl Harbor in the presence of a Japanese politician. Are we pretending history didn't happen?

Remarkable chart. Takeaway: in northern Europe they work fewer hours and earn more money. Not to mention the universal health care and free higher education.

BTW, what happened to the mysterious lights over New Jersey?

Can anyone tell me why -- 30 years into internet time -- companies still use these symbols in passwords? "I, 1, l, 0, O."

I’m a simple guy with no more than a public high school diploma so maybe I’m missing something. if Pete Rose was banned for betting on baseball because he has influence on the outcome, then how come it’s ok for Congress to invest in companies they are supposed to be regulating?

I'd love to read a list of widely-believed "facts" about history/science that have been proven to be false. What else do we believe only because it's so often repeated?

There's a widespread myth that medieval people used spices to cover up the taste of rotten meat. The whole story traces back to one book. In 1939, a scientist named J.C. Drummond published The Englishman's Food and suggested that medieval recipes were so heavily spiced because the meat was frequently tainted. No evidence. Just an assumption. One sentence in one book published 85 years ago. And it has been repeated as fact in classrooms and documentaries ever since. Here is the major problem with it. The only people who could afford spices in medieval Europe were the wealthy. Pepper from Asia cost roughly ten times what it costs today and saffron ran about 183 pence per pound in 15th century London. Gold was 240 pence per pound. Saffron was nearly as expensive as gold. The idea that someone wealthy enough to buy saffron was also eating rotten meat makes no logical sense. Professor Paul Freedman of Yale, who wrote the definitive academic study on medieval spices, called the rotten meat theory a compelling but false idea that constitutes something of an urban legend, a story so instinctively attractive that mere fact seems unable to wipe it out. Medieval people did not eat rotten meat because they had no reason to. Livestock was slaughtered when needed, not stockpiled. Fish ponds were kept on estates specifically so fish could be caught and eaten the same day. Salting, smoking, drying, pickling, and potted meats preserved everything else. Medieval cooks were extraordinarily skilled at keeping food safe without refrigeration. They used spices for the same reason we do. Because food tastes better with them. Exotic ingredients from the East signaled wealth and sophistication and because a medieval feast with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in the sauce was the equivalent of flying in ingredients from another continent, which is exactly what it was. © Eats History #drthehistories

Look at how the Secret Service just stands there and does not move the President to a safe location immediately as their training demands they do.
Why has this never been investigated?
