My experience has been that genZ absolutely loves to mosh and crowd surf, even when the music or situation would not typically support these actions. Like, I’ve seen kids jumping off the stage over and over again in a small venue with like 75 people who are getting increasingly annoyed by it. I’ve seen them do the “red sea” mosh thing to chill indie songs.
Honestly I appreciate the enthusiasm, but the crowd surfing thing in particular gets super tedious in the aforementioned scenarios.
I mean at this point the NFL is rapidly becoming the secondary product to the gambling apps, so it’s not that crazy to think that one day we’ll just have video game sports Leagues which only exist to create ground truth for gambling. Just like how they have fake digital horse racing.
Or acquisitions. I know a bunch of cases where a business unit was broken off and sold specifically to bring a few engineers over to the other company without needing to poach talent.
Predators and prey will always maintain some equilibrium, yes. But you can simply look outside and see that equilibrium typically includes a shit ton of other bugs (or birds, or mice, etc). You can also look at homes with serious infestations to see that this organic control alone doesn’t typically keep pest populations in check. Nobody has ever gotten rid of roaches by introducing spiders. Sometimes you do get infestations of spiders though, in which case the spiders are usually eating each other.
Generally, inside your home there are other factors keeping pest populations in control. With a few very notable exceptions, most insects do not actively breed indoors because the climate conditions are not correct, or there is not access to food, or they don’t like the vibrations and noise. Most of what spiders in your home catch are bugs which get in by accident and would simply die in one way or another.
Spiders and centipedes won’t actually meaningfully decrease the population of other insects in your house. Both populations will simply grow together if the conditions are correct.
Yeah I literally never heard of this before like 2022, and basically every friend I’ve had for the better part of 30 years has been a daily user at some point. This includes dabbing, concentrates, edibles, etc. so it isn’t just a potency thing. These are people who were basically stoned every waking minute of every day in college and early careers. There’s definitely something fishy here.
Incidentally, everyone is doing fine professionally as well. Lawyers, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and so on. So even the previous propaganda of “weed makes you lazy and dumb” is BS too.
I have an uncle who is basically a leftist boomer, but who is into that Art Bell kind of stuff. More recently he’s been getting into the “big pharma is keeping us sick” stuff and it’s really frustrating to see.
I discovered that the amount of carrots I can eat before I am uncomfortably full is like 150 calories worth of carrots, which means I can nearly double the amount of beer I can drink while still running a small calorie deficit.
The secret ingredient was dust, dander, and flop sweat.

I still can’t do potlucks because my parents forced me to eat all sorts of random bullshit at the church potluck, because they felt like being seen eating someone’s dish conferred some weird church status.
“Go over and tell Miss Borley how much you liked her chicken liver and salmon casserole.”
On the other hand, this also contributed to my powerful disdain for church, so I guess that’s something. The only way out is through… a senile lady’s disgusting casserole, or something.
A lot of people really don’t want to admit that their family recipes are trash.
I mean how can you cease firing if you aren’t firing?
Checkmate atheists
This is how most normal people feel. These threads are like the “stand to wipe” “debate” where it’s only a debate among a certain subset of very online people.
Lots of people in this thread not realizing that night sweats are a symptom of poor health…
I mean that’s mostly because I need to shower after I visit OP’s mom on my break.
Why do these churros smell like metallic chlorine?
IDK if China is really a great example here, considering how many Chinese doctors will still tell you that drinking cold water is bad for you, and garlic makes people horny.
I don’t think it’s that - these people are just cheap, and MAHA gives them a permission structure to save a few dollars at the doctor.
As far as I’m concerned “Thanks Obama” already captures it.
Yeah they are included in the negotiations. Usually it comes with a signing bonus and RSUs or options which require a certain tenure.
