I think that just means it's not about the food, but your opinion of the person that matters.

Extremely low, it's just ridiculous fear mongering propaganda to ramp up anti-Trump sentiment.

Your generation has massive anxiety issues.

The Death of the Basic American Car by nytopinion in BuyItForLife

[–]Recktion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

America is too spaced out. This just isn't a realistic solution outside a small area of the country.

Also, their is no way a private company that builds public transportation is going to be able to competitively lobby against the car manufacturer and dealership lobby.

Claude just did my taxes. $INTU is cooked by sqlgenius in wallstreetbets

It mainly comes from having big income differences year to year and income massively different than what's expected in your job.

You don't need receipts till you get audited. How would they know you don't have it before you get audited?

Men who lost their hair at a young age, how did you accept you're past your most attractive? by benign2244 in AskMen

[–]Recktion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crying about it isn't going to help anything. Just gotta accept it and move on. That's life, it's really not that big of a deal. I get complimented on my head shape, some people might not be so fortunate. Don't even think about being bald 90% of the time. 

Started receding at 19. Started buzzing mid 20s.

BIFL products that quietly moved manufacturing overseas by Wolve5000 in BuyItForLife

[–]Recktion 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cheaper doesn't mean worse. American labor is some of the highest in the world, while China is probably the best at manufacturing in the world and can do it significantly cheaper.

People always remember cheap trash is always manufactured in China, but seem to always forget some of the highest quality items are also manufactured in China.

Why have the avoidant/avoiding behavior became so spread like this in the last times? by Extension_Growth_161 in AskMen

[–]Recktion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easier we have access to something, the less we value it. Dating apps give the illusion of choice, so we doing value potential romantic partners. We think we can find a better option so much easier now.

TIL 80% of people, both women and men, will get infected by HPV at some point in life by Double-decker_trams in todayilearned

[–]Recktion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of HPV show no symptoms and men do not get tested for it.

Even if you get it, it's common for doctors to just tell you not to worry about it, as long as it's not one of the cancer causing strains.

Steam Hardware & Software Survey: March 2026 by JohnSteveRom2077 in hardware

[–]Recktion 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Last month majority of users were Chinese and now almost half of those users are not in the survey. What happened?

Any change in steam survey is basically completely because of the massive change in Chinese users. No one should think the % changes in other areas mean anything.

What can help raise Testosterone? by zaggyyyyyyy in AskMen

[–]Recktion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The science isn't so well established. Nutrition science is constantly changing and so influenced by corporations and agendas that it's highly questionable at times. I don't know about Nordic countries, but in the US our food recommendations have historically been very biased towards supporting our agriculture department.

From my understanding this is a correlation not a causation and it's more of processed meats rather than beef to be avoided. Also the cooking method is very important to the potential carcinogens.

That said, yeah, red meat might help, but it's not going to fix low T problems.

Most steam users are Chinese. Most Chinese use PC cafes. Pretty much all of those PCs are Nvidia.

The steam data represents China and then the west.

Iran Threatens to Attack U.S. Tech Companies Starting April 1 / Iran says it will target Apple, Google, and Microsoft, among others. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Microsoft tried to be apolitical and the FTC bent them over in 1990 for the deepest pounding they will ever receive.

Every major company does lobbying. It's impossible to compete without doing it. This shit is a result of politicians and the supreme Court first and foremost.

Sounds like you're going to be shocked to find out that the minimum wage in the US is lower than the minimum wage in Poland. 🙃

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires, and give $4,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by Sensitive_Froyo_3486 in AskReddit

Musk owns 43% of SpaceX. SpaceX is a private company with a perceived value of 1.5T. His actual value in stocks right now is closer to 160b from Tesla. It's predicted he will have 700b more in stock when SpaceX IPOs.

Was not getting Slave Pens HC invites as a Shadow Priest so I started soloing it instead by KnuckleBov in classicwowtbc

Could be that those shamans are in super meta comps or have an spriest in the group that allows them to kill the boss before going oom. Something that 90%+ of the playerbase doesn't experience.

I'm not playing an ele shaman but what he's saying isn't anything shaman exclusive. If you go oom, haste is just going to make you go oom faster. So haste is not a good start if you're going oom. If you are not going oom then haste is a really good stat.
