  • As a millennial, we've been afraid of this scenario so long I think we can finally let it go.

  • NGL, I had to legitimately tell myself this the other day. I spent most of my formative years as a young adult worried that the neverending war in the middle east would escalate and I would be drafted. I was not alone in this fear either, most of my peers had plans to flee the country if Bush called for conscription.

    It never did end up happening, probably because the war was deeply unpopular after it was clear that the invasion was just a pretense for regime change and not at all related to 9/11 or WMDs.

    I think the mental trauma from that never healed, and now I'm pushing 40 and still thinking every new "war" we start will have the MPs knocking at my door to serve me my mustering papers.

  • Yeah, trying to use Abrahamic mythology to guilt trip someone for eating meat would backfire so intensely. According to them, God put these animals here specifically for our sake.

  • How does trump get oil and minerals? He doesn’t, because Venezuela is still an independent country and is not occupied by the USA.

    The replacement is little more than a US puppet. She will be indebted to Trump for as long as he remains in office, be it three more years, or for the rest of his life.

    They will be electing a new president/government.

    That has technically already happened. Maduro just refused to transfer power.

    As far at the PR goes, Trump doesn't need PR anymore. His idiot base are unshakable. If he can get convicted of multiple felonies and still get elected, and then the Epstein files drop and implicate him and he still doesn't get brought up on impeachment charges, then there's no social ramifications for him any longer. Congress and the courts will protect him from run-of-the-mill abuses of power and scandals that would otherwise be devastating to a normal political figure. About the only thing he's in danger of is letting people starve, which will cause mass riots. As long as he can avoid total economic collapse, he'll be fine.

  • Of course it's more complex than my overly simplistic explanation, but I don't want to bore you with details when you could achieve the same result by cracking open a biology textbook. I wouldn't really wish that on anybody right now, honestly. Not how I would want to kick off twenty-twenty-six.

    To circle around back to the main point, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Aging should be studied more. There are breakthroughs in medicine just waiting to be discovered that could not just extend our lives, but also extend the portions of our lives where we are healthy and fit enough to enjoy doing things, rather than wasting away in nursing homes and hospice beds.

  • How do ageless atoms become old meat? I want to know, as an old meat myself, and if we can treat, stop, or even reverse the process.

    Atoms must arrange themselves in a particular way to become a cell. A cell knows how to make copies of itself, but sometimes mistakes can happen. Like a game of telephone, the cell at the end of the line only knows how to make a copy of itself, not how to make a copy of the original cell it came from. The mistakes gradually accumulate over time, which causes improperly formed cells to accumulate over time and give the appearance of "aging".

    In theory, aging is a condition that is surmountable. There are jellyfish that are swimming in the ocean right now that are functionally immortal. They create perfect copies of their DNA every single time, and can repair damage to cells without leaving a trace of the original injury. If we could figure out the processes that allow them to do this, it could be applied to the human genome as well.

  • That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.

    Now that women are, y'know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one's means to purchase.

    I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We're happy.

  • lol I also had someone accuse me of pasting AI output into my emails.

    People are now going to have to dumb down their writing not because it's too difficult to understand, but because it might be confused with GenAI slop.
