    Eh, Spotify just reinvented the old model of not paying the musicians. But yeah, scientists have to basically pay and hunt down funding to have the pleasure of having their work benefit the publishers and not themselves. At least musicians can put up merch tables to get a little something to pay the bills. Scientists would do well with merch tables I think.

    Almost everyone is going after a small percentage of the hottest people with the most to offer, but meanwhile people are out there banging in droves, which means there are plenty of people who will bang based on personality or other things they see in people, like humor, capability, nice arms, grey sweatpants, whatever. So maybe don’t focus just on not being a 10/10 in the looks department, very few people are a 10/10. If only those people got laid, the species wouldn’t be like 9 billion strong.





  • Yeah, good point. The Trump admin literally told them to go march and do a coup, that we’d be there for them, and then no one went there for them, and they got slaughtered, further ensuring there were simply mathematically fewer people with the skills and willingness to replace the religious extremists with something more amenable to modern international relations with western and middle eastern nations and groups simultaneously. Instead they predictably, as in it was literally predicted by experts before Trump attacked them, they predictably attacked allies in the Middle East, closed and laid mines in the straight, which has disrupted the global economy and all relations abroad, including further damaging relations with China and Russia.

    Such a dumb move.


  • No matter what it is, it already is. The oil reserves won’t magically fill back up, that will take many many months to years, in which times crops and products and prices will get worse. The regime is more extreme because they killed the people who actually knew how to negotiate, and the son took over who was more extreme than his father, and is likely more extreme than he already was because he was injured and his family has been threatened. The people were liberalizing, they were rejecting religious extremism. Now thanks to this war the people of Iran are more nationalistic than ever, more supportive of the regime than they ever have been. No matter what they agree to, it will be worse off than before.


  • That’s the Murdoch family, so while yes, they’ve always been conservative (one of the sons is not actually a conservative), it’s more accurate to say the ultra wealthy are grasping at straws. MAGA doesn’t support Israel’s pushing us into war with Iran, so as you stated, they wouldn’t buy this issue based on that cover, but billionaires and other special interest groups sure would love for everyone to buy this narrative.

    Oh the southern baptists were much worse around here at mistreating servers and workers in general, it’s the one thing the Methodists I grew up around could use to feel superior out loud. Nothing like hearing someone’s nanna tell a 14 yo girl trying to afford her school supplies that she’s going to hell for forgetting to bring the silverware
