Holy shit, I am totally guilty of this.
For those who haven't yet read the article, the idea is that people interpret "80% of people prefer Pepsi Max to Coke" as "Pepsi Max is 80% yummier than Coke", when in reality most of that 80% only slightly prefers Pepsi.
Basically a strong difference in proportion of people who prefer one option to another does not necessarily imply a strong difference in the average opinion between the two.
Any angry mobs a guy could join? Anyone about to drag the far-right nut jobs that control our government out into the street and [REDACTED]? Can we do that before the genocide this time?
CNBC financial news channel anchor Joe Kernen compared New York to Batman’s crime-riddled Gotham. “ They’re taking Wall Streeters and making them walk out onto the ice in the East River, And, and then they fall through. I mean there is a class warfare that’s going on.”
"Raising taxes on people who have more wealth than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes is the same as murder."
I cannot empathize with anyone who says that shit with a straight face. You've either abandoned any principles you may have had to spew propaganda, or are so completely delusional that you actually believe it.
He also decided to kill thousands of low-level criminals instead of like ten rich people.
Imagine one day a mega-billionaire has a fatal heart attack. Found in his possession is the name of another mega-billionaire, scrawled onto whatever was near them in their own blood.
The next day, that billionaire drops dead. Another heart attack, another name found near the body. Rinse and repeat.
Eventually, one gets smart. Publicly pledges to give away their entire fortune and take an oath of poverty the day their name is found. The reaper skips him, and the message is sent: if you're ultra wealthy and want to live, stop being ultra wealthy.
Sure, it may not be foolproof: there's probably a lot of super rich people whose identities are more or less private. Maybe one of them can pull a fast one & hide their wealth rather than give it away. But still, it'd probably be more effective than what Light did with less killing to boot.
Republicans will ram through whatever shit they can whether it's legal or not, and Democrats will trip over their own dicks and let the parliamentarian block them even when they have a majority.
I increasingly feel like voting for people is a bad system. I don't want to pick someone to make all the decisions for me: just let me vote directly on the issue dammit. Tired of representatives lying to get elected or doing heel turns or chickening out.
I was also diagnosed in my late 20's. I have a sister who is significantly younger than me, and she was struggling in school. She's smart, but she had a ton of missing assignments that she either did and forgot to hand in or just completely never got around to. Same as me when I was her age. She got diagnosed, put on Adderall, and her grades turned around. That set off alarm bells for me.
When I finally got tested, my results were all over the place. They told me I scored in the top 10% in some areas, and in the bottom 10% in others. That was enough for them to prescribe me medication, and it's helped a lot.
My big thing was always executive function. I know I need to do a task, I know there will be consequences for not doing it, and I know if I don't do the task I will feel miserable the entire time I am putting it off. But I still don't do the task.
With medication, it feels like a lot more of a choice. I can still blow things off and feel guilty about it, but actually hunkering down and getting something done actually feels possible now.
If I make it to 50 I'm calling it a win.
He said one officer who dealt with a former door supervisor was not happy about going to the bar on his own.
“If an officer is not happy to visit then how do members of the public feel?” he told the hearing.
Regarding the incident with the DJ, he said “officers should not have to ask for a manager to deal with a situation”.
What fucking losers. These are the people who are (according to their own PR) supposed to risk their lives to protect the public. If the theme song to a children's show and some light ribbing is all it takes to keep you away, fucking resign.
Jesus Christ, yes, I am a comfort hunter. You think I get up at the ass crack of dawn every day for fun? You think I want to push buttons on a computer all day because I'm just weirdly into it?
No! I do this shit because I have to!
Fucking hell. I've already accepted that I have to make your company money if I want to live in a house. For the love of all that is good in this world, PLEASE do not make me pretend to like it. I'm already weirded out that you're so into it.
she says often that she hopes we get married and that she wants to marry me.
That seems like a green light to me.
Disorganized list b/c I can't be assed to format:
The follicles on your face will grow at different rates. Even if you're going for length, trimming your beard to let the slower hairs catch up can give you a fuller and thicker beard. I will sometimes take some electric clippers and just trim back the faster growing hairs to give my beard a more defined shape.
Trim the sides & mustache occasionally. Imagine a line starting a half inch or so away from your face, starting where your hair ends & sideburns begin and going straight down to the ground. Trim the sides of your beard following that line, and trim your mustache to stop the hairs from getting in your mouth. A santa-esque beard is longer than it is wide, so you'll probably need to shape it that way.
Your facial hair will probably wick moisture away from your skin. You're already out ahead of this with the beard oil, which is great. I personally prefer using a beard butter, but anything that keeps the skin underneath moisturized is important. One time I shaved & it almost looked like my cheeks had been sunburned.
This one is personal preference, but I keep my neck mostly shaved. I draw a line starting two fingers above my Adam's apple, and bring it up to the corners of my jaw. Everything below gets either shaved or at least hit with the clippers on the lowest guard. I also take my wife's eyebrow razor and clean up the top of my cheeks, to straighten out the top of my beard. Totally optional, but makes it look cleaner IMO.
TL;DR Growing a beard =/= not shaving. Trim it to give it shape, shave neck & the top of your cheeks to give it lines, continue to moisturize / oil it.
Look at that dip right before 2020! Wonder why America dipped so much lower. Surely, face-masks as a way to prevent the spread of infectious disease wasn't suddenly a controversial issue!
