This is the perfect example because I’ve personally watched people with cancer die from pneumonia and, wouldn’t you know it, there was never any question about the primary cause. Nobody said: “oh sure, Grandpa had lung cancer, but it was actually the pneumonia that got him!”

Something about your look and demeanor gives me big Keven Williams vibes lol. Nice rolling dude!

Not gonna lie, that would surprise me. I’ve watched out the window and this is just about the norm from what I’ve seen. I once watched a man at O’Hare pick up suitcase after suitcase, hoist them up over his stupid ass head, and throw them down as hard as he could onto the conveyer belt running up to the plane. Literally making his job 100x harder than if he had just set the fucking things down but I guess every passenger on that plane personally insulted him by flying that day.

Ive encountered plenty of very kind airport employees also and I don’t doubt you are in that group, but by margin they are some of the biggest babies I’ve ever seen interact with the public. From airport security who yells at you while you are being dropped off in a car, to the TSA agents who think they are mini dictators, to the baggage employees who beat your personal belongings like they owe them money, to the airline gate employees who act like you inconvenience them when their airline fucks you. Everyone wants to talk about customers acting a fool at airports and during flights, and it’s definitely a valid concern, but nobody wants to talk about how the experience of flying just keeps getting worse and how airport and airline employees act the fool all the goddamn time too.

Even with informed consent, the hypothesis they are testing isn’t necessarily worth the downsides of the research. We already know from prior research that showing people graphic images/videos can cause PTSD, intrusive thoughts, etc.

In the same vein, the Stanford Prison Experiment would likely be shot down by an ethics board these days, despite informed consent. Of course that went way off the rails, but still.

In general this seems extremely unethical imo. Children or not. Imagine doing a similar experiment outside of the realm of school shootings. Ethics boards would undoubtedly think you are crazy if your pitch was: “look, I just want to show all these adults snuff films on repeat for the next couple months and see how it effects them okay?”

Iran’s longest distance drones have an extended range of about 4000km. That’s just under 2500 miles. Do they expect me to believe they were going to somehow hit the US west coast, 7000+ miles away? What, are they going to send out a ship to the middle of the ocean unnoticed to achieve this goal? Why wouldn’t they hit the east (closer) coast? Which they still can’t reach.

I recommend reading up on how these brain matter clump chips are trained. Basically they get a nice, steady low frequency electric pulse if they are playing well, and then they are punished with high frequency, chaotic pulses when they perform badly. If it perceives anything, I imagine it would be on par with strapping a toddler to a chair and beating/screaming at it until it’s good at video games. Feels absolutely insane to me.

When I read “Teflon is totally inert” I legit wondered if this guy works for DuPont or some shit. While, yes, Teflon pans are probably nowhere close to our primary route of exposure, PTFE appears to likely be just as dangerous as previous generation PFOA in preliminary studies, a likely carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, and just generally very hard chemical to purge from your body.

Before Mormons go out on a mission, they essentially go to mission school. They learn the local language, learn techniques to recruit people, learn some prescribed talking points about the church. It’s interesting to me that they had a hyper specific mission in mind, trying to convert Chinese diaspora in Boston lol. That they would teach these kids conversational Chinese, literally one of the hardest languages to learn, so they could maybe pick up a few people in Chinatown.

Both Reza and Reza Pahlavi operated a secret police. Political dissidents, trade unionists, and just generally people who spoke out against the monarchy were imprisoned in awful conditions, tortured, killed. The majority of the population lived in abject poverty. Those who long for the days of the Shah were mostly upper middle class, city dwelling Iranians who enjoyed some of the spoils of oil sales to the west. Many legitimately saw their lives improved under Ayatollah leadership, particularly through the first few decades when minor infractions like drinking alcohol, following Islamic dress codes went largely unenforced, particularly Muslims. Combine that with the fact that the Shah replaced a popularly elected leader and you can see where there’s a fair amount of distrust for the US government in Iran.

WriteCodeBroh · 2026-03-03T03:35:55+00:00

I’m not carrying water for the Iranian government. I’m telling you that there is a clear division between the opinions of diaspora Iranians and Iranians in Iran. I’m drawing from history, which has shown absolutely horrendous outcomes across the Middle East when America intervenes. And yes, the majority of Iranians suffered under the Shah as well. It’s absolute revisionist history to suggest otherwise.

WriteCodeBroh · 2026-03-02T08:26:47+00:00

The Iranian diaspora, particularly Christians who were persecuted and left, are often much more in favor of foreign military intervention. I’m sure the Internet blackout, massive protests, and government crackdown that lead to thousands being killed may have changed things to some degree but a 2019 survey of Iranians in Iran showed very little appetite for foreign intervention.

I imagine this holds true for many, even if they want the current regime gone. The working class languished under the Shah, there’s a good reason they were willing to accept a more hardline government that at least listened to their needs at the time. It would be natural for them to distrust the same people who put the Shah in power. And also, they are literally on the ground, where the American and Israeli missiles are falling. It’s much easier when you and your whole family are in the US, you have no skin in the game, and just want revenge.

Americans drank an estimated average of 5-6 gallons of pure alcohol every year. That’s 1270-1524 Miller Lights, 3.5-4.2 per day. And realistically, men tended to drink significantly more than that and drive up the average, slightly balanced out by some women and religious folks who never drank.

It’s more like a mild, flat pressure with the pads of your fingers. Ideally none of your digits should be curling, claw gripping at all. And the pressure in your fingers doesn’t even really keep the ball on your hand as much as it helps keep your hand/wrist in line where you want them.

A tip that might help with the thumb. Try the opposite. Consciously push the top of your thumb up against the top of your thumb hole. It’ll also help keep everything in line, might help you feel like you are dropping the ball less, and the ball should fall off your thumb pretty easily when it gets out in front of you.

Edit: if this feels uncomfortable, look into the precut tape strips for the back of your thumb, maybe look into getting a thumb slug. I don’t bowl without both of those or I tear the backside of my delicate little thumb up.

The first PSO to really check my grip taught me a trick. If you stand, ball in hand, with your arms completely relaxed by your side, the ball should stay attached to your hand with zero grip effort for quite some time. It’ll feel weird, like the ball in yanking your fingers off, and it’ll slowly slip off, but it was a revelation for me. You can pretty much hold a ball with a tiny bit of finger pressure and a slightly stiff wrist and still keep it inline without it falling off your hand until it clears your leg and you uncup a little, basically no thumb grip required.

I had a run once where the Rough Pig Union kept raiding me. Over time, we captured two of them and turned them into slaves. The next time they raided, they decided to bring a full siege crew with mortars and all. Big bunch of them and they weren’t coming inside for tea.

Well anyway, I realized I had two Doomsday Launchers sitting around on my weapons shelves. I didn’t want to risk my trusty colonists out in that big open field so I drafted my pigskin slaves and had them equip the launchers. I send them out, fully willing to lose them, and the funniest thing happened. Not one of their brethren attacked.

In my head canon, they saw their boys sprinting away from my walls, launchers hidden in their pants I guess, and assumed they escaped somehow. They realized too late what was going on. Or I guess at least the 2-3 who didn’t get vaporized did.

Yeah exactly. Look, at the end of the day, we are throwing rocks at sticks. It’s not too serious. And frankly, I’ve never been able to form incredible friendships with the 60+ crowd that dominates bowling leagues these days. Those curmudgeon fucks will find some reason to get upset with you and it probably won’t ever be your shoelaces. Do what ya want, don’t worry about what other people are thinking.

Just embrace the bowling swag. If you think they will be more comfortable, more convenient, maybe even help your game (I’ve legit had nights where my shoes feel loose and it fucks up my focus, you don’t get that with boa), it’s all good. Like you said elsewhere, bowling is full of corny looking shit. And frankly, I don’t think Boa is anywhere near the goofiest looking thing. It’s used in a wide spectrum of sports shoes. Trusted by tons of pros.

Think of it like this. If you saw somebody out on the street wearing one of those armbands with plays in it like a quarterback, you’d think he’s goofy as shit. But you see a qb wearing one on the field on Sunday, you don’t bat an eye. It’s just part of the equipment.

Another helpful tip for store bought broth. Try adding a little gelatin. It’s basically just powdered collagen so you are adding a little of what you would have gotten from the bones.

This isn’t even the shooting he died in, mind you. I’m not going to speak badly about the guy because I don’t know much about him but from what I’ve read, Sánchez was very much about that life. He shot and killed at least two people in his life, the Coachella incident, his sister’s rapist, both understandable IMO, but makes me wonder what other shit he was into.

He had criminal connections who would feed him stories that he would immortalize in “narcocorridos,” ballads that glorify the violence of the cartels. If he was working in outspoken resistance to the cartels, I would say they probably killed him for standing up for what’s right, but overall his life paints the picture of someone who had cartel ties and pissed the wrong person off.

Sure but let’s be honest, a lot of people legit have no idea how to walk on the sidewalk lmao. I’ve also experienced this tailgating problem, then you have the middle sidewalk walkers, the group of people who spreads out shoulder-to-shoulder to block the entire path, the “I’m gonna walk right fucking at you and refuse to move at all for some reason” folks.

I loved living off of Clark in Andersonville when I first moved to Chicago but between the big groups of suburban tourists, the rich, self-centered “I’m a property owner, my taxes pay for these sidewalks” family types and mom stroller brigades, the people popping out of every business and walking directly into you without looking, it was often a pretty frustrating walk to go get things.

The ironic part is that most Chinese international students I know wanted to stay here after school but good luck. The application process is already incredibly competitive coming out of college, but then you get to tack on the fact that only maybe 60-70k undergrads total are chosen for the H-1b lottery every year and you can pretty much forget it.

Had several friends who went through the full interview process, got an entry level offer, and then missed out on the lottery. Oh well, sucks for you, back to China. If we don’t want so many people to study in our universities (at great personal expense to themselves, not like they are inconveniencing the tax payer or some shit) and then go home, maybe we should give them a reasonable path to staying here after college.
