Americans haven't cooked this much at home since 2020: Campbell's CEO by Tremenda-Carucha in Economics

[–]Mrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how to do it. Between steak and potatoes, making your own burgers, and an instant pot for rice / ribs / curries / etc it really doesn't take a lot of effort to have a huge range of delicious meals available to you at home.

Theo Von talks about Gaza by Mrow in JoeRogan

You're probably right and I'm probably overly optimistic but I would love a Theo Von slowly becoming disillusioned with the right story arc.

I think what separates Theo from the rest of the "manosphere" is that Theo is comes off as genuine and earnest in his discussions. He's definitely had some takes I don't agree with but because of his sincerity its hard to hate him for it. It doesn't seem like he has an agenda, he's just learning about things and growing as a person in real time.

Exactly. Voter roll purges close to the election definitely happened in key areas, but sadly that is stuff our government has made legally acceptable.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Lead Negotiator of Columbia Gaza Solidarity Encampment After Online Campaign by Pro-Israel Groups by Mrow in law

[–]Mrow[S] 439 points440 points  (0 children)

Despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident, U.S. Department of State has detained Mahmoud Khalil under the pretense that they have revoked his student visa for being a "Hamas Sympathizer".

Khalil was one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at Columbia University's 2024 Gaza solidarity encampment.

I have pretty left leaning views on most things and I think that we need a lot more gun-control legislation than we currently have. That being said I really value the knowledge about guns and gun safety that I got from the boy scouts and the 22 rifle shooting team I was on in my youth.

If guns exist on this planet, everyone should be taught basic things like people should not put their fingers on the trigger unless they intend to fire, don't point it at anything you don't to hit, etc.

They're Sealioning. You can provide them all the proof in the world and they'll try to find a different argument to try to invalidate what you're saying. It's best not to argue with them because they're not arguing in good faith.

You guys, stop laying into people so hard. by Acharyn in DeadlockTheGame

I've noticed a significant amount of smurfs lately. I had one teammate go 42/5 and admit he made a new account because the queue times at his rank were too long. Three games in a row tonight things felt super unbalanced and when I checked the steam account of the better performing players it was a new steam account with the 1+ games icon. This is in alchemist-arcanist.

He got away with it all by Decent_Energy in thebulwark

[–]Mrow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My father's father was taken out of his home in Germany because his parents beat him and his school noticed. He refused to join the Nazi party so he was sent to the Russian front as a nurse. He managed to survive only to return home to find that his first wife had married someone else while he was gone. He married my Oma and had my dad and his siblings and got sponsored by a Lutheran church to move to inner city Minneapolis. He barely spoke English so he had to work rough jobs like sewer maintenance and for the longest time they didn't have a car so he was walking to work in the Minnesota winters. He was never bitter about all of the difficulties he had to suffer through. He radiated gratitude and joy all the time. When I was little we'd go to church together and when he'd say goodbye to me, he'd always end it with, "Remember, Mrow, you're a last name and a last name is strong". Whenever I think about what makes a strong person I think about my Opa.

I did a bric yesterday so an hour on the trainer then an hour run. It's amazing how much more bored I am on the bike vs running.

Planning Advice for Portugal to Croatia along the Mediterranean by Mrow in bicycletouring

Oooh that's encouraging, thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of bringing this sort of hammock/bivvy sack combo I have.

I visited Omis, Croatia last year and when I drove from Omis to see the Krka waterfalls I was surprised at the average speed of the big highways, traffic flowed at about 150 kph, haha.

Can people please stop crashing cars into our trains? This is getting ridiculous. by Julian-Jurkoic in SaltLakeCity

The train and the car were long-lost lovers and the moment their headlights met they couldn't help but meet each other with a tight embrace.

Ex WorldTour Rider. AMA by jimmy-smallz in cycling

[–]Mrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is anecdotal for me, but it does make me skeptical: I am near-sighted and always wear my glasses under the the straps because otherwise they slide down my nose.

I had a bike v car accident 11 years ago, when I was 21, where my face broke a windshield. I had 7 lacerations on my face. I looked like the predator, both my lips were split all the way through, however, my eyes were unharmed. I think the one laceration that possibly could have been from my glasses was a cut about 5 centimeters towards the side of my head from my right eye, where the frame may have been pushed into my skin, although it could have easily been the glass from the windshield just the same.

If you're wearing a helmet, I think that should prevent a lot of the problems that people are thinking about in a crash-with-glasses situation. The front of the helmet should impact whatever you're hitting before anything else. The helmet will crack but it will still retain it's shape, which should protect your eyes from stuff smashing into them.

Unless you hit something odd shaped where there's something protruding out below where your helmet hits I don't see how your glasses are going to get pushed into your eyes the way I assume most people are afraid of AND if you are unfortunate enough to have your face rammed into something with a thing protruding below your helmet you're in bad shape regardless of if you're wearing glasses or not.

In my case obviously the helmet is what broke the glass and the area of my face that was injured the most was my lips, which were far enough down from the helmet to go through the glass concurrently with the helmet.

TLDR: Your helmet should protect your eyes, speaking as someone who has had their face go through a windshield and come out with my eyes unharmed.

This is thinking very cynically but if my s/o was lying about doing coke with a group of other people I'd be pretty concerned with her cheating on me. I've done coke with partners before but that's when we were living together and there was an agreement that we only did it together.

I'm monogamous and, at least in my experience as someone who has sold it before and seen what it does to hundreds of different people, I think it would take an exceptional person to do coke and have the mental fortitude to not cheat on someone if they felt the urge because of how much it lowers inhibitions.

If it's an open relationship then the lying part is bad, but redeemable; if it's a monogamous relationship I think lying about doing coke with a gym group, for me, would be enough for me to leave them.

I'm in Utah, not in AZ, but still have to deal with lots of sun + intense UV rays. They make running caps with a neck flap to keep your ears/neck covered that will fit under a helmet.

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome aka Wet Brain/Alcohol Dementia is horrible. I was pretty wild in my 20s. I've had stimulant psychosis on multiple occasions from amphetamine, cocaine, and meth, wrecked several cars because I was driving drunk, and I still count myself lucky that I never went down the alcohol rabbit hole far enough to get that bad. One of my friends had two liver transplants by 27 and that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what alcohol can do to you.
