@yacineMTB Care to drop a few bullet points for those of us who didn't read it?

As someone who read Twitter's code base all the way through, including commits and random team design docs. Elon buying twitter actually saved the western world. You guys have no idea the kinds of shit that extreme ideologues were cooking up

@amandaperera What's the male equivalent of this?

Tonight remember to deep stretch your hips, put your legs up the wall for 10 mins, take a warm bath, drink chamomile tea or a glass of warm milk with honey, wear a silk or 100% cotton robe, massage your breats, brush your hair a hundred times & sleep without a bra (ideally naked)

@RaminNasibov Andre the giant

Name a movie where the actor was so perfectly cast that no one else could have played that role.

@Deadlydill Well done! Your brain is rewiring itself. You're healing. Thanks for being an inspiration and keep up the great work. May you find real love if you haven't already

"Buckle up, buttercups. You're about to think that I'm crazy... or pulling your leg. I'm not. Everything I say from here is 100% deadly serious. You're not going to believe me, until you see it for yourself. Then, you're going to think that you're the insane one. But you're not either." The commander took a deep breath, her hands paused midair like a worshipper. "There are," she epiphanically sliced her hands down, "Interdimensional Beings, that come from interdimensional planets. Sooooome people call them 'aliens' because they're not exactly from Earth, originally, but that's not very accurate because technically, aliens in the way that we think of them are more like us and these beings aren't like some intelligent species of animal." Everyone stared at her, unmoving. So she continued, too deep in to back out now. "Okay, look." She drew her arms out wide. "Think of it like a spectrum. On one end, you have 'Earthy things:' flesh," she rapped her knuckles on the porcelain shelving, "Solid matter, and generally a bunch of things that are measurable, though sometimes invisible to the naked eye." Arms wide again. "On the other side, you have the spirit realm. Most people don't see beings from there until they pass on into Heaven or The Separation. Then, you have the middle beings." She clapped her hands, startling Luna out of her stupor. "Think of these as-" "Wait. What." Luna cut in. "You're saying... that... ali- interdimensional beings are real!?" "Yes, and technically, aliens are too if you define that as extra terrestrial life with ever tangible matter like humans, but that's not important right now." "Not impor-" "Luna!" The commander snapped. "We don't have much time! Look. Beyond that door isn't strictly Earth anymore. It's... call it a portal for your sakes. Sorry. I'm oversimplifying." She sighed. "You're about to encounter these lifeforms for yourself. Don't worry!" Seeing the paling faces from the others, the commander quickly reassured them, "Most of them are good guys! They've been advancing humanity behind the scenes for years, actually. It's the bad ones that the good ones are fighting. Humans got involved in their war. That's were we come in." She reached for the ship wheel-like safety lock. "It's time to meet them..." Author here: If I wrote a book, would you be interested in reading my writing style?

@redpillb0t I wouldn't celebrate the death of tens of millions internationally. That's something that I'd really want to be wrong about, and mourn when proven correct

When another one of your "conspiracy theories" comes true

@AuthorGFAllen Living on Earth

What is extremely unsafe but everyone seems to do it anyway???

Trees release invisible chemicals into the air to protect themselves from bugs and disease. Turns out those same chemicals also switch on your body's cancer-fighting cells. They're called natural killer cells. They're a type of white blood cell that patrols your bloodstream looking for cancer cells and virus-infected cells. When they find one, they punch a hole through its outer wall and inject proteins that force the cell to self-destruct from the inside. You're born with them. Unlike most of your immune system, they don't need to be "trained" on a specific threat first. They just attack anything that looks wrong. The 50% number in this tweet comes from Dr. Qing Li at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, who has been studying the effects of forests on the human body since 2004. His original 2007 study took 12 men on a 3-day, 2-night forest trip, walking two hours a day. Blood tests showed 11 of 12 had roughly 50% more cancer-killing cell activity afterward. A follow-up with 13 female nurses found the same thing. But the part the tweet leaves out: the boost didn't vanish when they went home. It lasted over 7 days in both groups, and in men, it was still detectable in blood work 30 days later. Li's conclusion is that one forest trip per month could keep these cells running at a higher level year-round. The obvious next question is whether it's the forest itself or just the vacation. Li tested this directly. A separate group took a city tourist trip with the same amount of walking. No boost to killer cells. No stress hormone drop. Zero effect. Then he ran an even more controlled test: 12 men stayed in a regular Tokyo hotel room for three nights while a humidifier pumped tree oil (from Japanese cypress) into the air overnight. Their killer cells still went up. Their stress hormones still dropped. That isolates the cause to those tree chemicals, called phytoncides. Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release the most. These chemicals were found in forest air but were nearly absent in city air. A 2021 lab study showed that one of these tree chemicals directly switches on killer cells and slows colon tumor growth in mice. The bigger picture connects these cells directly to cancer risk. An 11-year study published in The Lancet (one of the world's top medical journals) tracked 3,625 Japanese people and found that those with weaker natural killer cells developed cancer at significantly higher rates. A separate study screening for bowel cancer found that people with low killer cell levels were 7 times more likely to be diagnosed. Li's own research across all 47 regions of Japan showed that areas with less forest had higher cancer death rates for lung, breast, uterine, prostate, kidney, and colon cancers, even after accounting for differences in smoking rates and wealth. The caveats: Li's original studies used small groups (12 and 13 people), and the regional data show a pattern but don't directly prove that forests prevent cancer. No large-scale clinical trial has confirmed that yet. But the chain is consistent: trees release chemicals, those chemicals wake up the cells in your blood that kill cancer, the effect lasts weeks, not hours, and people with more active killer cells get cancer less often. Japan now has 65 government-certified Forest Therapy sites across the country, each tested and approved based on the physical effects they have on visitors.

Positive: I've been seeing way less AI, and I'm not seeing the same post repeated 10 times. I do feel like a few months ago, I got to see more of what was happening around the world and less Reddit screenshots though. May there was more happening in the USA, Iran, Venezuela, and Australia then and that's the cause of it seeming less interesting: there are fewer global developments this last week

@doganuraldesign Me too

Fuck it, man. I’m so sick of these algorithm changes.

@VividProwess Imagine standing under it and looking up

This is unbelievable. The Iron Dome destroyed a ballistic missile literally seconds before it landed.

Yes because the bacterium in the soil release a chemical called geosmin once any water hits, which humans are more sensitive to smelling than sharks are with blood in the water. The smell of geosmin is called "petrichor." Before rain drops fall, some people can sense the splitting of oxygen molecules (atmospheric changes), which apparently smells different depending on the person. Some smell a sweet smell, and others say it's more like chlorine. Regarding your Grannie, I think the logical question is: Was she right?

Can people really "smell rain" before it actually starts raining? My Grannie would say “I smell rain coming”

If it's life of the mother, then save her. If at all possible, save baby too. C sections are safer for the mother than passing a more developed unborn, and the unborn gets to live (if they're 23 weeks+). It's estimated to be less than 1/100,000 abortions where life of the mother is even a factor though.

@elonmusk @RWMaloneMD Where do you draw the legal and moral line in cases involving medical emergencies?

This isn't rocket science. A Late-term abortion of a baby is murder.

@BHolshouserUS Congratulations! What's your book about?

I kind of skipped over this milestone officially but it's time to announce it. I have officially sold over 500 copies of my books! Thank you to everyone who has supported my stories and especially to those sharing them with others!

And actually, that reminds me of Gladys Aylwood if you've ever heard her incredible story? WW2 era in China. One of the amazing things she did is change the prison system in her province, which lead to reduced violence within prisons and dignity for the inmates. The CCP and Japanese changed the system again soon after though. For a while, it was the probably the most humane corrections system for its time in the Third World.

@lighttrader7 @RealPostFolder In Norway they have way lower crime and way lower reoffence rates because their jails are basically little apartments and convicts are treated well and guards have actual education and training and are expected to rehabilitate.

@ChaosRocket @RealPostFolder That's cool!

@RealPostFolder Ignore this thread. It's just me pasting other comments so I can find suggestions easily
