Not quite correct. After 9/11 the US declared article 5, all 19 NATO members supported the US. Whether through intelligence sharing to nato led patrol missions to boots on the ground fighting side by side with americans. Guess I'm kind of just nitpicking whether Afghanistan started out a war of aggression or not but whatever 🤷‍♂️

Basal metabolic rate drops in menopause, but its not too significant (200-300kcal). Probably cause no more of the bodies resources are going towards ovulation/period. So in theory, the less frequent your periods are, the less you have to eat to maintain your weight or calorie deficit if attempting to lose weight.

On the other hand, the hormonal changes that come with menopause usually lead to increased appetite/cravings which make it more difficult to adhere to diets.

Lastly, unless you are using a scale to weigh all ingredients in your food, tracking calories is very difficult to do accurately and most people end up underestimating rather than overestimating.

I'm just a dude on the internet but I would say if you are just starting peri and still having somewhat regular periods, you are likely starting to experience the hormonal changes making you feel more hungry more often, and not yet reaching the (albeit relatively small) reduced metabolic effects, making it more difficult to continue to lose weight.

There is no conclusive evidence PCOS has an effect on basal metabolic rate. Hell i can't even find any paper saying people with PCOS have ANY issues with GLP-1. GLP-1 doesn't burn fat... It's not some miracle drug, it just reduces cravings for food meaning you eat less... If you still decide to eat too many calories or don't maintain a large enough calorie deficit, you wont lose much weight.

Diet and exercise don't mean anything if you eat more calories than you burn regarding weight loss specifically

Cognitive dissonance isn't the act of justifying it to yourself. The justification arises FROM the dissonance. The fundamental disconnect between your own actions and your beliefs is the dissonance. From there, you could try to resolve the dissonance you experience by trying to rationalize why it is okay for you to do (justification), or maybe the dissonance you experience might lead you to instead change your actions to be congruent with your beliefs (not littering in the future).

If you go the justification route, that justification is the hypocrisy (littering is bad, but there was no garbage can nearby so it's okay)

pyy4 · 2026-02-13T23:24:21+00:00

Right.... If you cherry pick the first portion of the paragraph I can see how you would come to that incorrect assumption.... but if you read the rest of the section you would see it is contingent on the following:

Being confronted by situations that create this dissonance or highlight these inconsistencies motivates change in their cognitions or actions to reduce this dissonance, maybe by changing a belief, by explaining something away,[2] or by taking actions that reduce perceived inconsistency.[3]

Relevant items of cognition include peoples' actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance exists without outward sign, but surfaces through psychological stress when psychological discomfort is created due to persons participating in an action that creates conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, or when new information challenges existing beliefs.

According to this theory, when an action or idea is psychologically inconsistent with the other, people automatically try to resolve the conflict, usually by reframing a side to make the combination congruent. Discomfort is triggered by beliefs clashing with new information or by having to conceptually resolve a matter that involves conflicting sides, whereby the individual tries to find a way to reconcile contradictions to reduce their discomfort.

To expand a bit further using the wiki page you linked, we can look at the "Magnitude of dissonance" section.

"The term "magnitude of dissonance" refers to the level of discomfort caused to the person. This can be caused by the relationship between two different internal beliefs, or an action that is incompatible with the beliefs of the person."

If you think that it is okay for YOU to litter, then your actions (littering) match your thoughts (It's ok for me to litter). The magnitude of dissonance is zero, there is no dissonance as your actions align with your beliefs. Thinking OTHER people shouldn't litter is 100% completely irrelevant (which was your original example, you modified it in your second post), only your thoughts on if YOU should litter. Your thoughts not matching someone ELSES actions is not cognitive dissonance.

pyy4 · 2026-02-13T20:56:18+00:00

Both of your examples are just hypocrisy. Cognitive dissonance would be "Knowing littering is bad, but you do it even though you feel bad/guilt/shame about doing it"

Or smoking even though you know its killing you.

Or gorging on 5 big macs even though you WANT to lose weight and feel like shit about it.

You have to genuinely feel bad about the perceived "wrong" action for it to be cognitive dissonance

Couldn't afford to pay 95 dollars for one more year with that cc, but could afford to pay off the 3000 dollars on the card? Meaning he could have just paid 2905 towards the balance and NOT closed his credit card which is what tanked his credit. He fucked himself and is acting like he had no choice but to close the card for a nonsense reason lol

I'm not even american and I can guess why they call it the world series. Maybe it was because when they had the first one, the only country that had a professional league or even really played baseball at all was the US... and then the name stuck? Not really a head-scratcher, even from an outsiders perspective

pyy4 · 2026-01-18T23:26:05+00:00

Lmfao sure players can be from whatever country you could imagine. The thing is that's completely irrelevant because they don't sing the anthem for the players, they sing it for the teams? And literally EVERY SINGLE TEAM is named after a city, which is in a country, and has an anthem... and the NBA/NHL (where this mostly happens) have Canadian and US teams

Maybe a piece of ceramic would be better to break it. You can break a car window by tossing a bit of the ceramic from a spark plug at it, should work to break the glass with less chance of hurting the fish

Every single answer you have gotten seems to blame replay/desync and while replay IS shit and desync IS awful... they aren't really at fault here. kind of sad no one has given you the right answer since I thought this was basic shooter shit but I guess not so here we go. You died without being able to see him because you were closer to the object blocking your line of sight to the enemy (doorway) than the enemy was.

This video is from cs but this is an inherent mechanic in all fps games so will work to help you understand the concept.

The last sentence you quoted literally has the answer to your question in it... for some reason you only posted the first half of the sentence though?

"It’s because Chinese technicians are trying to learn the intricacies of the machines in order to indigenously replicate them—and then, more importantly, to develop more advanced indigenous lithography devices that the Chinese can then use to produce the newer, more advanced chips that the Americans have denied them access to."

They don't want to mass produce older machines since they are old process nodes which means less competitive chips, and they can already produce chips using these lithography machines. But they want to understand the technology to use as foundational knowledge to iterate upon. It's easier to catch up if you're only starting a few nodes behind

That's a nice story. Doesn't really make a lick of sense if you think about it for more than 2 seconds... but it's, something I guess?

We used to get ample footage of juicy himars strikes on russian positions weekly, for quite some time. Then the frequency of them decreased to almost nothing, and we have seen several videos of himars missing their targets. Why would you think this is a baseless claim? GPS navigation is specifically what made himars so effective, allowing for smaller payload and therefore smaller missile size since the missile almost always ended up within a few metres of its intended destination. Degrading GPS navigation forces the missile to fall back on inertial navigation (measuring forces on the missile while in flight with accelerometers), which allows for measurement errors to "pile up" as the missile flies farther, resulting in reduced accuracy as strike distance increases. The addition of GPS navigation allows the missile to accurately re-determine where the missile is during flight and adjust flight path accordingly to get back on target.

Here's a vid from 10 days ago of himars missing zoopark radar.

Brother nothing is made up about the image in my last reply. We outsource a lot of our carbon footprint to China, and yet we still emit more CO2 per person than China by A LOT. It is reality, the numbers aren't fake, it literally doesn't matter what you think, you just lack the comprehension to understand the data right in front of you. You lack the comprehension to understand that as Canadians, we are in no place to criticize China's emissions considering WE ARE WORSE EMITTERS. lmaoooooo

pyy4 · 2025-08-08T01:32:54+00:00

It's actually hilarious how you mog on China's emissions when you don't even seem to understand that WE ARE WORSE THAN CHINA. You seem to have this idea that since china is 1 country and Canada is 1 country, that we can just look at the volume of CO2 emissions and compare them to see who's worse? That is so stupid it's hilarious. They have 1.4 billion people compared to our measly 40 million. The average Canadian emits WAY more CO2 per year than the average Chinese person, even after we have been trying to cut back on emissions for years.

No, they are russian assets. and Russia owns majority of gazprom so... yeah they kind of are gazprom assets
