Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

Some parts of the military try to use the scouts as a vector for reaching potential recruits. definitely had a few army recruiters come by my troop. Also the rank structure, uniforms, focus on leadership, etc certainly looks a bit military-ish.

And fwiw, I don’t think the scouts does much to address incel behavior. Maybe it helps with gangs, idk.

Well… They didn’t say that. So you’ll have to forgive people for thinking it applies to all men.

By percentage, but the total birthrate would (continue to) go down.

And now Trump’s gonna make it harder to immigrate, so the population may actually start nosediving.

Mgtow was not met with indifference. They’ve been consistently criticized since the movement first started, and they quickly evolved into a cabal of Nazi-adjacent freaks. Fuck those guys.

There may be some good that could come from a men’s movement for self actualization and improvement, but mgtow sure as shit wasn’t that

I mean, considering how many incels voted for trump, I think we’re pretty much already there. Many of the young men who voted red this election already have no close relationships with any women their age. Obviously women should exercise their autonomy as they see fit. I don’t expect it to change how anyone votes.

I’ll probably be downvoted for this, but progressives have spent the last several years actively shutting down lines of communication with men, particularly white men. For the best of reasons, sure, but it hasn’t been an effective strategy for winning elections.

Maybe this would sway some group of center-left men who didn’t bother voting, but realistically I expect it will have no effect on the ongoing polarization, or exagerrate it.

This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left

It’s not. Trump is quite vocal about his plans to “reform” healthcare.

Is this a thing people say unironically? It’s as dumb as saying “just go be a movie star”

In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn’t do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn’t end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you’ve got some experience?

I’ve heard there’s an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up…

Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.

I mean, presumably he isn’t just taking them to the junkyard… Someone out there is probably still driving those cars

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

I’m not sure he fully grasps the concept of his own mortality

Damn, he was almost close to making a valid comment about how wildly overpriced funerals are today, then instead went full bore into super racism

Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.

I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…

Rachel sounds like a fun hang. Kinda like a reverse Karen.

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.
