Additionally, according to modern science, cognitive skills begin to decline at age 45. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6551607/ My favorite thing about this isn't that the cohort groupings stop at 30, but that it shows there's a drastic and hugely significant psychosocial maturity gap...

Also, I get that everyone knows my in-real-life name. I stick with “Rosebud” because I’m going to be sharing documentation that demonstrates John’s continued efforts to cyber-harass me by doing everything he could to ensure my in-real-life name was erased from association with the legitimate work I...

Looks like he violated his gag order tonight on his social media. If he's not trying to get himself fined and then possibly put in jail in the future, then he's just too stupid not to throw a fit in public. We'll see how the judge responds. From the thing Res posted upthread, it looks like the fine...

You appear to be spiraling yet again. I really hope you finally take the advice that’s been offered over (and over, and over, and over) again, to seek the help of a licensed professional. There’s no need to keep discovering new rock bottoms. This could be the last, if you choose it to be. I'm saying...

I’m trying to think of instances where it would be “Ok,” and I’m having some difficulty. I guess a potential metric would be if they would feel hurt, betrayed, or have their ability to trust impacted should they find out about the lie.

That "political scientist" was obviously just doing the propaganda jig.

Ermmm... Novo Nordisk was pretty successful before semaglutide. How exactly do you think they financed the research and marketing for it? Lol. That said, their GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) are definitely the lion's share of their current income. They've still got their insulin beat...

In my early 30s (before marrying my now-ex-wife), I was using an app/website for dating. I went on a date with a woman who was 22, and one with a woman who was 23. I am sure it was a lot easier ten years ago. Not so much these days. I don't know. It sure seems like people are seeking out some prett...

[...] some older adults seem to suffer from the dunning-kruger effect. *self-awareness has left the chat* ETA: In retrospect, this wasn't fair. There's probably an equal probability that Donald J Trump Doubting J Thomas' consistent misrepresentation of sources, for years, is intentional. Like the g...

It's good to know that Brigham's thoughts on why chattel slavery was a curse on the masters was because he thought it was more expensive than just paying someone a wage. Not because it was morally repugnant to keep a human being as personal property. Incidentally, this incredibly enlightened moral ...
