This is an unpopular opinion?

Okay, important question: is the situation in LA escalating, or dying down? By the looks of videos, it seems like most of the chaos was over the weekend, but I'm curious to know if this will continue through the rest of the week.

If you consume 100x as much fiction as you do history, you will subconsciously derive your beliefs from fiction. This is a well-studied finding in psychology called “source confusion”: you remember things you “learned” long after you’ve forgotten where you learned them. This

This all boils down to a societal loss of selflessness, in my opinion. Men don’t want to work stressful jobs that disrupt their creature comforts just as much as women don’t want to “destroy” their bodies and lose full autonomy. The 21st century is defined by selfishness.

This isn't mysticism, this is very real! Women show stronger empathic intuition through deeper neural connectivity, superior emotional recognition from subtle cues like eye expressions, and a visceral, almost psychic bond with their children that defies scientific explanation.

I do not trust a labubu for one moment, I know when a "trendy product" reeks of premeditated virality

I should go to Japan

It’s moderately painful trying to scroll through American political discourse while still traipsing through Japan. I’ve been in such a bubble and I’m not sure how I’ll fully come to terms with being back soon.

Now that I'm back from Japan, I'm reminiscing on all the logical, effective tech and social norms they've got that we don't. One underappreciated one is toilet seat cleaner in their public restrooms instead of the crappy paper seat covers here in America that do next to nothing

That's cool, but can they fix their milk chocolate so it doesn't taste like literal vomit? Europe has such higher standards for chocolate, hence why they don't use butyric acid (baby vomit flavor), so it tastes creamier, smoother. American chocolate is vile in comparison!

Support the redemption arc! Online trads (lol, oxymoron) insist that the girls on the right are a lost cause. That's far from the truth. Shouldn't we want people to find a better way to live? It's often the party lifestyle that drains them, which leads them to abandon it.
