@zhusu How long would society function with limitless freebies? Birth rates are down and relationships dont work because the government has monopolized the relationship framework that is almost obsolete. Let people propose their own relationship rules and build an enforcement framework

To solve birth rates, governments could give newlyweds loans to buy a home. 25% of the debt could be cancelled upon birth of each child. The loan would require the mother to stay at home to raise the children, thereby lowering male unemployment. Exceptions could be made if the father was unemployed. From there, you could also have a 6% income tax on unmarried men 25-50, and unmarried women 20-45. Monks can be exempted.

@Linahuaa Lots of end points loosely connected there. You expect things to happen a certain spicy way. Lots n lots of assumptions to fill the story line to reach a spicy conclusion. Reminds me of gossiping aunties. Strong family friendly standup comedy potential.

Western women have so little game that people here always freak out when they see mid Asian girls snagging up billionaires and hot dudes. Cleopatra wasn't considered pretty, yet married the two most powerful men in the world at that time. Linda McCartney was mid and slept through a top tier rockstar lineup and bagged the most handsome Beatle. Yoko was less than mid and bagged the coolest Beatle. A very overweight Chinese girl I know managed to have an affair with Ben Clock and gave me VIP priority access to Berghain every weekend. Later, her mid roommate fell for her and thought he had good chances via looksmatch, but she then bagged a super hot Hungarian guy and broke his heart. Looksmatch is cope when you have no game.

A managed relationship would take care of your concerns listed in the relationship contract you signed. A neutral mediator or relationship manager would always exist. The manager makes conversations possible because all of a sudden there is accountability. No more foul play.

A simple and great argument why a self managed relationship just can't work especially a romantic one When traditional support systems such as the family, church and community are missing, it is impossible to ensure accountability. one to one conversations yield no benefit

This guy adopted a rescue hyena and named him Eddie. 😉 Every dad joke he tells is met with Eddie howling with laughter. I don’t even care if it is AI—it’s comedy gold! 🤣🤣🤣

@JamesAFreeman @newstart_2024 Love implies absolute acceptance, selflessness and unconditional devotion. By value, love is priceless. So on the basis of likelihood, when love is offered, it is deceit. When it is wanted, it is extreme greed

He is right not because, in isolation, her beauty will diminish. It is only because of the crass nature of her proposal that his response is fitting. What she should have offered is committed love, care, a willingness to support him and be a faithful companion. This only also grows, if from a genuine heart, as would his income. Asking for a sum of £s leads him to look at her 'assets' and determine the value of her contribution, as stated. ...and it is a losing proposition.

A stunning Swedish woman posted an anonymous Craigslist ad: “Looking for a husband with $500k+ income” and listed her conditions. The response she got from a self-described investor was ice-cold and brutally honest: “My dear beautiful lady… What you’re proposing is a pure transaction — your beauty for my money. The problem? Your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my income is likely to keep growing. From an economic perspective, you’re a depreciating asset with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years. I represent an asset whose value increases over time. So, no — it would be a bad decision to marry you.” This viral Craigslist exchange (from years ago) is still making the rounds because it lays bare a harsh economic reality about beauty, youth, and long-term value. It’s a cold reminder that treating relationships like transactions often backfires when time does its work. What do you think — was his response fair, or too harsh? Have you ever seen beauty treated as a depreciating asset in real life? Your take 👇

🚨 THE CASE FOR $1M BITCOIN Gold hit a $1.3T market cap around the year 2000. From there it went on to 5x in a decade and 23x over 26 years. Bitcoin is currently at that $1.3T market cap. The difference? Gold adds 1.5% new supply every year from mining, but Bitcoin's supply is CAPPED at 21M. We just crossed 20M mined. There are fewer than 1M left, and they won't all be mined until 2140. Every dollar of new demand competes for a shrinking pool. Gold was already a 5,000 year old asset when it started that run. Bitcoin is 17. If BTC just matches gold's growth rate from the same starting point, that's $230K per coin by 2036. And that's the CONSERVATIVE case.

The Binance / Aster chinese KOL you followed because it was hot asian girl meme szn

I just moved to Cyprus 🇨🇾 My first impressions and why I moved: > it's safe (unlike rest of Europe) > friendly people (unlike rest of Europe) > quiet > clean air > fast WiFi > tax friendly > great coffee > amazing food > very walkable > incredible weather > affordable (€2 for coffee, €7 for meal) > great laptop cafe culture (unlike rest of Europe) > growing tech scene (unlike rest of Europe) It's been so long since I had somewhere I could lock in from and call home. I was torn between UAE and Cyprus but the last month made my decision for me. And so far I am so happy with my decision.

@Man_s_Bible Wrong question imo although i understand the disillusioned sentiment. If you really love, you cannot be completely moneyless. Why should love be a free ride? Prove it by putting in the work into something. Some money will follow. Less money does get you loved

To all men, let's be honest. Can a man be loved without money?

Comments are the sacred gold: I write down my feelings here. Or often times the feed just shows me what I'm thinking. Comments are the hard truth and sentiment of the market. Respect them. If people believe something, there is good reason for it. Helps me correct myself

@JeffMarshalek @Cr7Godbrand if you really think about the traditional and religious point of marriage, the definite things include a certain level of service and respect for the working man, complete loyalty and consequences for doing wrong. Modern reality is wild west with no standards or accountability

@Cr7Godbrand Simple rule to follow: Never enter a contract when one party is rewarded for breaking the contract. Pretty much that simple.

Imagine working over 60 hours a week, including 20 hours of overtime, doing physically exhausting work that gradually wears your body down all so your family never has to worry about bills, your children can attend the best schools and have savings for their future, and your wife is financially secure even after you’re gone, inheriting your properties so she won’t be left homeless or struggling after your death. Then you come home after a long day and she looks you in the eye and says she can’t cook or clean because she’s “not a slave.”or not your mother” So sacrificing your time, your health, and your life isn’t slavery…..but contributing to the household in other ways is slavery? In this harsh economy? fuck her and wokeness.

@MakerThrive old but nothing too special. Nothing says its not his 100th attempt. I could also do it back in the day when I had better motor control

you wouldn't last a minute in the asylum i was raised

If your country is clean, reasonable, free, and non-extremist, it shouldn't grant entry to extremists or to anyone you would not want to engage with — even as tourists. When in doubt, require them to have a registered local guide Money isn’t everything. Protect your people

@liquidmotion26 @antmillionsbot The thing that stands out strongly among all the noise is that the gas facilities in qatar are said to have been hit hard enough to lose 20-30% capacity and require years to rebuild to get to 100%

@antmillionsbot Yep sure do...in fact 1 week ago I mentioned the lockdown similarities...when no one could connect the Dots. x.com/i/status/20330…

I'm very certain this will become a thing soon It will be socially acceptable only if enough people wear it at all times. More than 10% minimum Heavily advertised,trillion dollar market. Why bombard yourself with countless viruses and pollutants? Add to that the other benefits

Delusions seem free and feel great but they are not free Why Because at some point you pay. When someone breaks them for you, they are doing the service imposing the cost of your delusion for yourself

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.

That one neuron connects to about 7,000 others. Your brain has 86 billion of them. Do the math and you get somewhere around 100 trillion connections inside your head. More connections than stars in 1,500 galaxies. And each connection point is way more complicated than anyone expected. A Stanford lab found that every single connection contains about 1,000 tiny switches that can store memories and process information at the same time. So your brain is running roughly 100 quadrillion switches right now, while you read this sentence. The wild part is the power bill. Your brain runs on 20 watts. That’s less energy than the light in your fridge. The world’s fastest supercomputer needs 20 million watts to do the same amount of raw calculation. A million times more power for the same output. We’re still nowhere close to understanding how any of this works. In October 2024, a team of hundreds of scientists finished mapping every single connection in a fruit fly’s brain. Took six years and heavy AI help. That fly brain had 140,000 neurons. Yours has 86 billion. Google and Harvard also mapped a piece of human brain last year, a speck smaller than a grain of rice. That speck alone contained 150 million connections and took 1,400 terabytes to store. The lead scientist said mapping a full human brain at that detail would produce as much data as the entire world generates in a year. A tiny worm had its 302 brain cells mapped back in 1986. Almost 40 years later, scientists still can’t fully explain how that worm’s brain keeps it alive. Your brain has 86 billion of those cells, each one wired to thousands of others, each wire packed with a thousand switches, all of it humming along on less power than a lightbulb.

@babybeginner @garrytan That is exactly the issue I see too. A doctor only spends 2 mins on a patient when they should be spending hours to determine the root cause before suggesting a medication. The power to do self due diligence cannot be taken away. No clown in white coat should be trusted blindly

There isn’t a human being in the world who can diagnose something complex when they haven’t read your file, don’t know your name, and spend less than 3.2 minutes with you. That is every interaction with doctors these days. More often than not a doctor tells me he is going to prescribe something for me, I stop him cold and remind him of my drug allergies that cause anaphylactic shock and could kiII me and he says, oh, then let’s give you something else. The bare minimum you should know is what I’m allergic to!!

New York wants to ban AI that outscores doctors on medical exams. Over 900,000 New Yorkers have no insurance. 92% of low-income legal problems go unaddressed. Anti-AI NY bill S7263 isn't consumer protection. It's cartel protection. gli.st/ypknnhdn
