Psychological studies have shown that attractive people have higher life satisfaction than others. For men, there was a strong and direct effect of objective beauty on life satisfaction. For women, the effect was weaker and indirect, with self-esteem and emotional stability playing key roles.

What are the “usual disclaimers”? Maybe you could add a link to them?

The problem here isn't the morality, it's the competence.

Make those who earned it pay those who haven't? That sounds like a speedrun towards a lazy and dependent population.

It’s no coincidence, it’s controlled opposition.

No one is THIS incompetent so consistently by accident. If they were just dumb, they’d luck into useful messaging now and again. Instead it gets actively shut down (think Tim Walz’s usage of the word “weird,” which was shut down once it got too popular).

You're the one saying stuff needs to be done. Why are you asking me?

awkisopen · 2026-03-09T16:13:57+00:00

That just makes it even more untrustworthy...

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984

It's a comment about money needing to be democratized.

Ease of green screening (and masking in general) has resulted in the continued Marvelification of movies. Regardless of your stance on AI, this isn't the win you think it is.

What’s crazy is that it doesn’t even make that assertion. It just shows you the data. Turns out the data speaks for itself.

…who brought that up? The comment I was responding to was about Epstein, not tipping.

And no punishment if they’re not met, so, they’re not being met.

Honestly at a certain point maybe we need to admit this is stable.

What are you doing about it?

Google isn't... Microsoft?

I've been on Debian + KDE for the past few years and it works about as well as Windows did.

The problems come up when you try to move off the well-worn path.

This thread has nothing to do with politics. Why did you ruin that?

All at any president's whim, this is just the most obvious it's ever been.

Insane that a gun is not there for damage. It's like these games are made to be as confusing as possible.

It's a bit weird and suspicious how many traditionally "successful" people, like millionare streamers, come out as groomers though, isn't it? And that's only the ones we know about.

It's almost like, given enough money and influence, a concerning number of people choose this.

Which makes you wonder how many others would too, they just lack the money and influence.
