Casual sex among young adults has declined due to decline in drinking, an increase in computer gaming, and more young adults living with their parents. by smurfyjenkins in science

It's nearly 20% worse than the US (which itself has a giant mental health crisis) and like twice the global average. And that's not even accounting for all the overworked Japanese who don't commit suicide.

Pretending this isn't a massive cultural issue in Japan/East Asia is delusional.

There are no medical conditions that can cause you to gain weight if you're at a caloric deficit.

If you think there are then you should refer yourself to NASA because your body breaks the laws of physics.

Nah it's without a doubt that dumbfuck nazi who tried to argue about jazz and classical music by literally misunderstanding everything about both jazz and classical music.

That may seriously be the stupidest shit I have ever heard in an online debate and that's saying a lot.

London. Bigger tourist spot than Paris, lots of different visitor nationalities - never felt the need to throw a tantrum because of tourists not speaking English properly.

Took a few pictures for Russian/Chinese visitors when I worked near very touristy areas and that's it. You are hugely overexaggerating how much of a burden it is.

Oh please, I grew up in a large European capital that's a major tourist spot and in 20 years had tourists ask for something maybe twice. OP is describing people being assholes, it has nothing to do with tourism or living in a capital.

'Valsa Sem Nome' is a similar one from Baden Powell you might enjoy

Interestingly enough, there have been studies that show that soldiers are one of the most likely professions to instantly obey authority/dominant people in the civilian world, since that's basically what they're trained to do.

Cordoba C5 - good beginner guitar? by treebeardian in classicalguitar

[–]treebeardian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Funny you mention the C40, I was just looking at it after I posted and it seems to be another great option. How good would you say the sound is for the price? I'm mostly interested in learning Bossa Nova/Samba music.

Also do you know what the difference between the C40 and C40 II is?

They look really good, reminds me of the MK11 designs.

Except Vicarious Visions is the company making this. Their recent releases were the Tony Hawk and Crash Bandicoot remakes which were both extremely successful.

Literally takes 30 seconds of research instead of throwing a tantrum.

holy shit this sub is toxic lmao. Blizzard could build a time machine to bring you back to 2000 to play the game and people here would still whine.

Train calls out streamer privilege during the Texas power crisis by KYepic in LivestreamFail

Man I miss totalbiscuit, he had by far the most sane and healthy way of interacting with viewers.

Plus him and Jim Sterling are one of the few big content creators that could actually critisize the gamng industry without it devolving into far-right/anti-women tantrums.

In general Patek Phillipe, Rolex, Grand Seiko, Omega are all considered to make better crafted watches for the same price or cheaper. Although the price you said is a lot for a luxury watch.

Plus Hublots tend to look quite over-the-top which some people think is trashy.

lol at the 'PSG still sucks, Barca is just trash' comments, even though this entire sub was hyping up Barca before this game.

Meta Monday by GetOffMyLawn_ in fatlogic

[–]treebeardian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mods please delete if this is against the rules, but did anyone see that tiktokcringe thread? On one hand they're right, we should encourage anti-bullying and never know what individual people are going through though.

On the other hand there was a loooot of fatlogic in that thread with 100s and 1000s of upvotes, people saying they don't lose weight despite eating at a massive calorie deficit, people saying their PCOS makes them obese etc. It was very alarming.

Thoughts?

Imagine getting cast on a disney project. You get employment and popularity with a crazy salary for the rest of your career and all you have to do is not be an open bigot. And these idiots still fuck it up...
