A number of my (M26) friends are women. I'm travelling and my parents want me to send them pictures, but I can't send them a single picture with a girl next to me without her becoming my girlfriend in their eyes.

I do fine for myself too! Actual girlfriends come and go and I tell them when I'm dating someone, and they hardly seem to care.

Kills me dude.

This document isn't changing every time I view it, but Google Sheets wants me to reload it each and every time I close my phone. Even if I'm in airplane mode it gives me this prompt, and of course just loads the same document.

What is it even doing when I hit the Reload button??

Great post!

I wanted to add that this isn't quite how proteins work. Those protein-rich legumes aren't what you would call 'complete proteins.' There's a number of amino acids our bodies use as proteins and while legumes are a good source of many of them, there's a couple proteins you won't get enough of from just the beans. Fortunately, brown rice- while not as rich in protein- gives you the proteins that the beans are lacking. That's why beans and rice are a match made in heaven.

Herbivorous animals are just better at metabolising proteins from plants and of course they're capable of eating much more than us. That's why they're able to live off of grass.

This just stuff I read up on a few years ago so if I've gotten something wrong please say so

Lesotho volunteer here, expected COS is in December. As the first cohort back, we only had 15 volunteers at the start, and had our 7th departure a few days ago. Is this normal?

White dude here. I use the white skin emojis, but honestly I think it's just because I see my black and brown friends use their skin tones as a rule, and I feel like using the yellow tone is a bit weird when others are using the skin tone customization.

I'm not ashamed of my skin color or anything and the phone remembers my last tone selection so I don't really see a reason to not use it.

Yes, and it's important that felons be able to run for president. Were that not the case, a corrupt enough system could just disqualify anyone that would seek to oust it.

Thought this was a great video by a creator that I really feel should get more attention.

And then in a few years, after making no efforts to create a space where homeless people can live the way they want or a path for them to get a job and a home, the enforcement of these laws will loosen up and you'll be back to stepping over people on the sidewalk.

The economy is a really easy target for someone to point to to claim a president is doing well or poorly. Really whenever someone makes a claim about "the economy" in general without specifying which metrics they're talking about and why those are relevant, they're full of it and just using it to make the list of pros or cons longer.

I'm still in my 20s and I'm more or less a layman as far as economics go. Ever since I started paying attention to politics, the economy has simultaneously been doing extremely well and poorly depending on who you ask, and they can use a whole mess of different metrics to explain why they're right. Meanwhile the only thing I really notice is the price of gas, groceries, or rent.

It seems that we live in two different economies: a good one for people that support the president, and a bad one for those that don't.

I'm not really in those circles but I feel like the timeline is wrong here. I don't think young men see these figures, then venture out parroting them and crash their metaphorical bicycle. I think the bicycle crash is what makes them seek out that content. Maybe that's how it's working with very young men who are just now starting to talk to girls, idk.

The problem from where I stand is that conventional advice on how to get attention from women doesn't work like it used to. Young men are entering the world and finding that they're just not as attractive as their mothers have been telling them their whole life, and setting yourself up to have a decent income isn't the selling point that the older generation told us it was.

So you either focus on other areas of your life and maybe you happen into some kind of relationship, or you look to adapt to this world of dating apps and hook-ups and you probably end up unsatisfied for a number of reasons, and that's when someone turns to the manosphere.

You won't get HIV from receiving oral sex under normal circumstances. That might be a confusing factor. Don't know specifics of other diseases.

TierMaker Discworld Community Tier List

Apologies for not being able to upload an image at the moment.

Obviously TierMaker isn't the be all end all of community opinion, but I stumbled upon this tier list recently and found it strange. I have a handful of friends who have read some of the books, and they were surprised by some of the tierings too. Some trends I noticed:

  • "Entry" books seem to be tiered high, and books occuring later in the Discworld timeline get tiered lower
  • Tiffany Aching books are tiered very low
  • I believe the earlier books are generally getting tiered higher than the later books, but I haven't actually verified that.

I guess my biggest question is is the opinions of the community actually so diverse? Maybe many folks haven't read all the books so it gets skewed like that? The site says it compiles 32 tier lists which sounds like a decent amount of data to me.

Giving up your right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is like giving up your freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
