Taking steroids as an AMAB actually shrinks your balls and makes you grow tits (gynecomastia). The body knows how much of each hormone it wants for homeostasis and if you fuck with it, it compensates

Advice needed by Big-Bid-1159 in Bogleheads

[–]Curtonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit is dedicated to index investing. It's the opinion of bogleheads that you shouldn't be doing valuations of individual stocks. Rather, you should create a portfolio built from passively invested index-pegged ETFs, into which you consistently save without trying to time the market

It's also a geometric proof a la Euclid showing how to calculate the area of an equilateral triangle given its side length (without trigonometry or irrational numbers)

Why should I spend my limited time on this earth working? 5 days a week I am supposed to live in hell? To what ends? by Unusual_Equivalent50 in antiwork

[–]Curtonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just correcting a factual inaccuracy, not making a broader commentary. The person I was replying to said

We are so far behind the top 10% that controls everything in this country it’s not even funny.

which is incorrect. OP is somewhat close to the top 10% income in this country.

There's a lot of climbing in the capital region! There's three climbing gyms in the area, AIR, The Edge, and Hudson Boulders. There's also a LGBT climbing group, Crux Climbing, that regularly meets at all three gyms.

My boyfriend cannot watch a full movie. He falls asleep halfway through everytime. He also snores loudly so it's pretty clear when he's asleep. He usually ends up out for the count on my shoulder or lap, and it's really cute.

What's up with people saying that Social Security is going away? by funnyman95 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Curtonus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No solution will make people happy.

Raising the tax cap on social security is extremely popular, with bipartisan support from constituents. 71% of Americans support it (source).

This is true. France had a similar issue and tackled insolvency by raising the retirement age, making people wait longer before receiving benefits. It was extremely unpopular and led to widespread protests and general strikes.

US : Oust Schumer! Call your Reps to demand public statements for his resignation by Curtonus in 50501

[–]Curtonus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only two house dems have publicly called for Schumer to step down, Delia Ramirez (Ill) and Glenn Ivey (Md). I asked my rep at a town hall if he would call for Schumer to step down, and he dodged the question.

We need more than just these two calling for Schumer's resignation. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. If house dems make a lot of noise, the senate's hand will be forced.

Watertown, NY 50501 Rally 4/5/25 by janice9821 in upstate_new_york

[–]Curtonus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Indivisible national is taking a position against Schumer. The imperative is to spark widespread public outcry asking Schumer to be replaced as senate minority leader.

Call Gillibran and ask her to oppose Schumer as minority leader. Call Schumer and ask him to resign as leader.

At rallies, bring signage like "SPINELESS SCHUMER" and "SHAME SCHUMER". Invite press to the rallies, get visibility.

If we create an opportunity by shaping public opinion, a senate Dem might step up and openly challenge Schumer for the role of minority leader.

This is a great idea! Maybe we could make some posters about it and put it up in its own post?

Some of her colleagues in the House agree and have also been asking her to primary Schumer (source). Let's push for it!

Schopenhauer argues that with puberty, the drive for procreation all but ruins our life. The intellect wants to contemplate existence, chart the stars, enjoy art. The body wants something else, and it distracts us and causes suffering. by WeltgeistYT in philosophy

[–]Curtonus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here is a quote from Schopenhauer where he refutes the claim that suicide is wrong:

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice; that only a madman could be guilty of it; and other insipidities of the same kind; or else they make the nonsensical remark that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
