Did you know actual snake oil was used in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis. Aparently it’s quite high in Omega-3. But it got popular and then grifters started selling random concoctions and calling it snake oil and that’s how it became synonymous with quackery.
Not really related to the point of your comment, I just read about it recently and thought it was interesting.
“Almost more” seems nonsensical. Is it almost equivalent?
Are rates and ratios just too difficult? 529 in five months is much higher comparatively than 5** in four years.
Like, you could just say Trump has done airstrikes at more than 9 times Biden’s average so far.
I guess at least you know they can’t evangelise?
A lot of comments saying why they think reading has declined (boo evil school… They made me critically analyse stuff…) but not even touching on why that’s evidently having more effect on boys than girls?
That’s odd.
Compare to the other post asking why Tate bro manosphere brainrot is on the rise. The kind of garbage that specifically discourages boys from higher order thinking because that’s not “alpha”. Some of the comments there basically boiled down to " not my problem, shut up".
Interetsing juxtaposition.
Misogyny holds men back, but as long as that won’t be acknowledged, nothing will improve.
US-manufactured products should be allowed to compete on an equal basis with Australian-produced goods, consistent with the WTO [World Trade Organization] and US-Australia Free Trade Agreement,” he said.
Research and development tax concessions in Australia, France and Spain were described as conferring advantages to local firms “that the United States is hard-pressed to match”.
Um, isn’t this what the US is ostensibly trying to do to everyone else with their tariffs? Advantage home grown products over international ones?
It’s almost as if it’s not supposed to be free or fair, it’s just about the US extracting as much money from everyone in the world that they can get away with.
Es tut mir leid für die lange zeit. Ich habe zu viel Arbeit.
Meine muttersprache ist Englisch. Deshalb Ich dachte wir reden könnten. Ich bin Australier. Habst du Ideen für Themen? Ich mag politik, nachrichten, gaming. Was magst du?
Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too
Möchtest du mit mir sprechen? Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber ich will es lernen. Ich war im 2003 in Hesse, ich liebe Deutschland
Ich lerne Deutsch, und
opiskelen suomea, ja
estoy aprendiendo español también.
Furthest along with Deutsch, because I did it at school (decades ago), not making huge progress gains with any of them because Duolingo, but it fits in my day so easily and the repetition is effective I think.
Thanks for sharing! Have ordered her book :)
Yeh bangle.JS is this I think
This is my recommendation too. I just watched again recently, and my dad is on his way out and I just bawled. Such a great movie.
Used to. Was terrible but that was 7 years ago, not sure if it’s improved since then
I really emapthise with Stan Grant in this piece. I have been feeling similar things myself, and I strongly believe that if I was indigenous and had a traditional family land l would be going back there too.
As it stands I am a city raised person who has experienced living in various country places. I’m living in a city right now, earning good money, but dreaming of moving back to the country to a quiet life.
I was also raised in the Catholic tradition, have been athiest for a long long time but really missing the sense of community that came from the church/school community when I was young.
I feel so pointless as a human. The money I earn doesn’t seem as important as what I could be doing for my family. The work that I do doesn’t seem relevant amidst the insanity of the world. I thought a great career would give me self worth but it just feels made up…
…like every other aspect of adult life. It’s just all made up. Nothing means anything.
I’m lucky I have kids and pets to anchor me in the day to day. But that just reinforces my desire to move to a quiet country town, maybe have another child, maybe get some goats and grow some vegetables.
Monster Bash!
And Alex the Kidd on my brother’s Sega
The thing no one can understand unless they have been pregnant, and been faced with giving birth or have given birth is how terrifying and animal of an experience it is.
Humans these days are used to convenience and ease and predictability… having a baby forces you to confront the chaotic nature and sheer mammalian nature of us.
Women facing birth for the first time, especially in this era where they have little support or experience to draw from, and lives where everything is controlled and understandable, are terrified. They reach out for these communities because they feel insignificant to the doctors and nurses and midwives they meet in the system and they are scared.
It very easy to sit back and scoff at women when you have no idea at all what it’s like. You don’t know. You can’t know, but you aren’t even trying to know.
People without direct experience should be doing more listening and attempting to understand, and less judging.
I think this is closest to correct. If the metric is that cult members are kind of duped to go along with group think and philosophy is the practice of questioning belief and thought processes.
That positions philosophy as the meta-analysis end of the scale and cults as the automatic.
No apple?
