  • I feel like the male fantasy in porn is either a power fantasy or an acceptance fantasy.

    1. Power: actor dominates another person sexually which reinforces the viewer's self-perception (vicariously through the dominant actor) as masculine whether or not they really live up to the ideal of a powerful, masculine man irl
    2. Acceptance: actor is sexually desired despite falling short of the masculine ideal OR actor meets the masculine ideal and is desired because of that but does not dominate

    • "Pizza guy" trope - man is not traditionally in a role that is seen as successful or powerful. Gets sex despite their lower social standing because of their innate qualities (attractiveness) or just because they are desired by the pizza recipient
    • Femdom - actor is intentionally put in a role of submission but is still sexually gratified, if not also desired
    • Old/ugly guy with younger person trope - man is not traditionally attractive, but is still desired
    • Attractive guy with attractive person - man is desired bc they are hot, viewer also wants to be desired bc someone thinks they're hot
    • Incest - desired by someone they care about in a way that is strong enough to break the incest taboo. This may also be a power fantasy if the man is in a position that is typically seen as submissive (son, younger brother) but gets sexual power over a family member.

  • No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say

  • Maybe going keto would grow them some extra brain cells so they could realize it's a bad idea

  • Even beyond like actual facts and evidence proving this wrong, I have one fundamental question for all these nutcases making wild claims about diet: why the fuck would X diet do Y thing?

    Like what about eating more meat and fat & being in ketosis could possibly have any effect on schizophrenia, of all things.

    It doesn't even make sense on any basic level. Could there theoretically be some counterintuitive thing that would cause an effect? Maybe, sure. But come on - these wacky claims don't even pass the sniff test.

    crazy take

    Jump

  • Nope! None of those situations should be motivated by profit imo. Basically, nothing that is necessary for life should be for profit, in my opinion, as long as the state can handle the administrative burden.

    But like... if the people demand some random, superfluous thing and the state doesn't have the will or resources to produce it, maybe that's where markets come in.

  • All they have to do is effectively use the public funds alloted to do the things they're tasked with doing. Not everything should generate profit.

    For so many services, profit-seeking creates perverse incentives. Well... all services. But maybe it's tolerable in some circumstances.

  • Texas Rep. Al Green waves 'Black People Aren't Apes!' sign, gets booted from SOTU

    Jump

  • Came here to say this. I get what he's trying to say, but we are all definitely apes. And that's pretty cool - apes are awesome.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae:

    The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/; hominids /ˈhɒmɪnɪdz/), whose members are known as the great apes,[note 1] are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans (Homo sapiens) remain.[1]

  • The fundamental flaw that these "centrists", conservatives, and fascists fall prey to is the human tendency to rely entirely on vibes - or rather the weakness of allowing your beliefs to be formed through vague concepts rather than facts.

    The people making the arguments that these people parrot back say that fascism either has no meaning or means ONLY Nazi Germany (typically not even Fascist Italy... where the term comes from).

    So, when Trump calls Harris or Biden fascist it's just a meaningless cudgel to signal that to be in the in-group you should dislike them (he's accidentally a little correct on the facts, but that's beside the point). This is their understanding of the term and how they think others use it.

    When we call modern Fascists fascists, we are talking about specific beliefs and behaviors that align them with the ideology of Fascism.

    The conservative mind literally cannot comprehend this - largely because they have a strong belief that no one can actually be fascist. It's a combination of willful ignorance and a strong reliance on tribalism while still accepting that being a fascist is a bad thing only because of its connotations, not because of what being a fascist actually means: because, for them, it doesn't have meaning.

    Rep. Ted Lieu says Epstein Files contain allegations of him raping children.

    Jump

  • That is a misleading title. All Rep. Lieu said is that they contain allegations of him raping children.

    That is still really bad, obviously, but he did not say that it "shows" Trump doing that. I think it's important to make that distinction because it is very different from the claim that was actually made.

  • Just saying

    Jump

  • Where does it go?

  • Can you imagine if media quoted Trump this way?

    Jump

  • We're saying the same thing. "Keep them guessing" is a colloquialism meaning something like "to foment doubt". Not literally to initiate an infinite loop of guessing.

  • Can you imagine if media quoted Trump this way?

    Jump

  • Especially because this is a touchy policy issue on which the US is deliberately vague. The US intentionally avoids answering questions on the topic of military intervention in Taiwan to keep China guessing as to what its response would be to an attack. No one would've been able to give a satisfying answer.

  • I think Milei is a true believer. He's devoted his life to the study of ridiculous AnCap economics. I think he thinks that making his & his buddies' wallets fatter is how you fix the Argentinian economy. He's wrong and stupid, but I think he's good faith.

  • soon you too will own nothing and be miserable

    Jump

  • I mean, in some ways it helped initially. It's true that inflation needed to be dramatically curbed, and austerity & currency devaluation helped with that (while massively spiking poverty rates). Inflation is now largely under control, which is great, and they avoided dollarization while largely aligning the exchange rate with the black market "blue" rate. It's a problem that spending couldn't solve, and it made sense to try to make Argentina a more competitive exporter, etc. etc.

    BUT many of the changes he made could have (in my view: will have) seriously negative long-term effects: mass privitization of public sector agencies/programs, destroying unions and pro-worker regulations, massive deregulation, and elimating the country's ability to regulate business in the future, massively increased wealth inequality. Also, massive currency devaluation could cause an affordability crisis in Argentina, and paradoxically higher inflation or even an inflationary spiral.

    Also, the things that worked to curb inflation will only continue to work if their economy keeps growing, spending stays responsible, they maintain a fiscal surplus, etc. So far, that hasn't been the case - they had to rely on a massive US bailout (IMF + currency swap), poverty has remained high, and the long-term outlook for working-class Argentinians is extremely tenuous.

  • A succulent meal

    Jump

  • I've literally been doing this for lunches. Bake a loaf of bread, have a rotisserie chicken on hand for the week, a block of cheese. Boom. Lunch.

    And when I have some more time or am tired of that, make some porridge with oats and chicken. Maybe a little broth, some onions, seasonings.

    Dont underestimate peasant mode. Lunch for the whole week for like $12
