Serving looks easy until it’s your turn

This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident.

Diplo on using AI in the creative arts: “if you are a creative you need to adapt or just like give up and become an uber driver until everyone has a waymo. I know it’s not cool or classy to speak like this but i’m not gonna candy coat the future - it is what it is . sorry for bad new’s my purist . there will always need a human mind and touch because ai will never suffer from bipolar disorder and autism like me and other creative people 🤪”

We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. My Penny Plan would cut just 6% a year and balance the budget in five years. That’s it. Show markets we’re serious about fiscal discipline, and the economy will respond. Time to hold the line on spending.

I've been workshopping this idea. I would love to hear your thoughts: In my opinion, the two of the most definitive "Guy Movies" are Gladiator and Braveheart. Both feature a hero who dies for something he deeply believes in. And whose death ultimately helps destroy or transform the corrupt system he fought against. Wallace's sacrifice inspires Scottish freedom; Maximus restores honor to Rome. There are plenty of modern movies where the hero gets a complete victory and remains alive, but few seem to reach legendary status. Other movies with this Martyr Archetype are 300 and Saving Private Ryan. Is there something within us as men that powerfully responds to this kind of noble sacrifice and legacy? Or am I totally off base here?

I have just been notified that Eric Swalwell has officially submitted his resignation to the House Clerk. Effective immediately.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life. I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5. Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm. Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation. Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%. Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.
