Internet is enormously beneficial to people solving technical problems.
Asked someone I know who worked as a software developer before and after internet. She thinks it's at least an order of magnitude difference in efficiency/ output.

It's really weird autism. I the guy not aware of the whole misinformation censorship complex where Dems had USG fund 'independent' NGOs to pressure platforms to censor?

Natural source is only in nuts. That's a very novel food source. Hazelnuts were sometimes a staple food, but generally before 10k yrb ago people were primarily carnivorous.

It's very rare no? Don't most people stay with their kids at home until maybe age 4-5? IRL I know of one person who was in early daycare, and my entire family sometimes (but rarely) talks that she's a little odd bc of that. She herself has said that. Her parents were careerist high flyers and very much in love. 1930s kids, so they considered their parental duties done when kids were fed, clothed and attending school.

Link?

Don't want to turn this into a CW but he deserves a post there. Disliked wannabe Overton window maintainer & spawn of a Russia looter.

Here mayo ..goes rancid (yellowish crust) on the surface I guess after a couple of weeks storage after opening.

"gluten intolerance" (that Americans don't seem to experience when eating bread in Europe)
Isn't it basically a fad, like women declaring they're bi etc? In Europe I know IRL like 2 gluten intolerant people out of say, 100. Real but rare disease. In US it's massively overrepresented

Actually, sunflower is the worst, canola best.
The whole thing is kinda dumb, the issues are marginal I believe. But it's hard to quantify. Best to avoid all such and fry in animal fats I guess. Ofc, pigs are fed omega-6 feed, so lard has a fairly high omega 6 content too.

I've heard some claims you can make a decent substitute using schmaltz but never attempted it.
Am a bit leery of working with uncooked eggs tbh.

The only kind of gardening I'd ever consider doing. It's a great spice and needed in small quantities. Wish I'd never learned of the whole seed oil controversy because crushed garlic in mayo is the best tasting thing I know of.

Yeah. But we live in a liberal society that pretends we're all equal in our decision making ability.
So very noble and conveniently also allows for the exploitation of the weak minded and willed by the clever and the ruthless.

The signal is a lot less informative when half of the people do it.
And christ, that Burnette version is nasty, in all kinds of ways.

I've always found the idea remarkably repelling.
I hate being in close proximity to people I don't know, I hate paying money for stuff I don't really need or enjoy.

They're an ethnic derived from a mostly criminal vagrant underclasses. Originally some low Indian caste, they interbred along the way with people who liked them and probably lost people who didn't like it. No doubt women ran off, maybe men too.
They're extremely patriarchal, routinely violent towards women, shun education.
Their entire culture was based on deliberately isolating from others (Gajos) who were believed to be unclean and could be exploited mercilessly through confidence tricks and stolen from. Yes, they have a myth how it's not immoral to steal. God himself gave them dispensation for theft bc s gypsy stole nails from Romans so they could only put the two in him.
Once they worked also as tinkers and farriers, but they were always quite malicious because the genocidal edicts pronounced on them in western Europe were simply unprecedented. Jews were hated but recognized as useful. Roma were literally declared vermin in Germanies, Netherlands.
The travellers who are genetically white iirc derived are similar. A behaviorally distinct roving criminal ethnic.

Indians who would make up the bulk of these are well known for being modest, competent and not over overconfident.

Bureaucratic institutions, if given access to funding are going to proliferate indefinitely.
Parkinson's laws are undefeated. Famously predicted RN with more admirals than ships.
Came true in '90s. These days, there's more army general in the British Army than there are tanks in it. Probably more generals than big artillery pieces too.

Spending 3x more to prolong the life of terminally old people for a couple of months is perverse. You can't cheat death. Gompertz rule is unbeatable.
I have relatives who are doctors and this saddens them too. Relatives demanding heroic medical procedures for someone so decrepit they'd have probably die next year anyway if it wasn't for their dire medical emergency.
Common claim from them is that the less they cared about the ancestor when they were healthy, the more demanding they are on medicalll procedures to show they care.
I am often thinking about how I must take a one way walk into the woods once I become too weak to take care of myself, even if I end up having a family. All things end, and if I'm 87, cognitively declining, unable to even read consistently, why fight it?
My grandpa was..beginning to be senile. Insisted on getting his beginning bowel cancer fixed. Anaesthesia made him go from slow, rigid , 5% totally confused to 66% confused, requiring constant supervision. Died 8 months later. He never liked me for understandable reasons but I still wish I hadn't seen him even once in his last months. He was a formidable man when younger, so it was pretty sad to see it even briefly.

They have always been naive, but this behavior is new.
I recall a '40s born writer in a novel describing toilet sex between people who met themselves on a trip as utterly disgusting and low class.
Now sex on first date is allegedly common.

-off name implies Slavic country ancestry, as -ov is probably the equivalent of-son but Benioff doesn't sound Slavic.
Also he is a major businessman and Jews are overrepresentated there by more than 10x.

The possible (if they succeeded at supplanting their enemies) new elite is much more hawkish on China, at least rhetorically, than the clueless one that's on the way out.
But war..yeah, could break out. But barring an unlikely military/industrial renaissance- the entire military procurement market is as corrupt as the legacy space launch was-, such hot conflict could only go one way.
I guess they're banking on AI being able to do what Soros, NED and Gene Sharp couldn't.
Interestingly it doesn't seem to have been covered much or maybe I'm using wrong keywords in search.
Stanford Internet Observatory was one of these NGOs.

Mike Benz covered it in depth and maybe even broke the story. He's got a lot of info on it on his account.
