Maybe they meant rubles. I think I may find that value in my couch.

I hate that that’s the case.

I’ve been trying to lose weight, so I chopped off my leg just below the knee. I’m several pounds down, and I didn’t have to stop eating even a calorie. It’s amazing.

The only issue is that now I don’t have a leg and exercise may be difficult….

He called them out for cultural appropriation, and people online started sending them threats. He clarified to everyone that although he’s not aligned with the company, people need to back down. Threats are obviously inappropriate.

Why stop there? Have every President, Senator, and Member of Congress investigated at all times. Whether we think they’re corrupt or not.

Therapy appointments

Right, and that leads to issues with men seeking help. Men don’t get needed therapy at the same rate, and our suicide rates are way higher. So I guess one can answer your original question with: women can get help without as much social stigma.

Note to anyone reading: It’s not weak to see a physical therapist, so it’s not weak to see a mental one. You see a therapist to be strong, regardless of the which part of your body (muscles or brain) you’re training. You also don’t need to be having an issue in order to get therapy. Sometimes it’s just nice to talk through everyday things, and learn ways to cope with small things.

Ooooooooh. Damn. We’re never getting Shang-Chi 2.

Different studios. But yeah, we need Shang-Chi 2.

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.

Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.

If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.
