@dailystoic Fantastic reminder that stoicism cannot replace Christianity

@nofakeblake1 @propublica The same argument could be made for the services of Jeffery Epstein

It’s easy, especially in today’s society, to point the finger at the big bad, predatory lender in these situations… However, I find it difficult to find fault with the lender when they are merely offering a product to a consumer and it is the consumer themselves making the decision to apply for the product… If anything, this article points to the horrendous job we have done, as a society, in making sure that everyone is taught basic money management skills in school…

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

@MattBraynard @captive_dreamer Name one conservative studio

@captive_dreamer The moment we caught wind of this woke debacle, it would have been ideal to have a small, conservative studio create their own version of this (not copyright protected) film and launch the same weekend.

@CovenantSiege @dalepartridge If you don’t protect your family and their interests, you are not surrendered to God. We don’t have to import them in order for them to accept Christ
English

@dogfacenolan @dalepartridge Correct. And all we have to do is focus on surrendering to the first one. God only.

@dalepartridge People that are image bearers of God. People who desperately need Christ, just like you and me.
I'm not supporting open borders, just suggesting that instead of focusing on the problems of the nation we focus on advancing the kingdom.

@JesseKellyDC We have to divide the states We can no longer coexist. All hells going to break loose if we don`t

@Rational119 @nypost It’s sad to me that reconstruction never truly ended. We’re being invaded and replaced

Turns out legendary arms dealer Victor Bout (Obama famously prisoner-exchanged him for the lesbian WNBA player who tried to bring a weed cart into Russia) not only has an account here, but is posting brutally frank third-world taxi driver geopolitical analysis.

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on.
The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software.
The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check.
Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance.
Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls.
Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else.
A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.
