Copy pasting the first part of this so lazy girlies don't have to experience the stress of !clinklickers
As the sheen on dating apps dulls, more Americans are reporting bad experiences on them. Frustrated by bots, subscription costs and high effort-to-reward ratios, Gen Z is fleeing the apps in hope of real-life meet-cutes. Earlier this year, “Bustle” declared that dating apps are in their “flop era.”
Not all of the apps are taking this backlash without a fight. On Tuesday, after months of internal shake-ups and stock market woes, Bumble took a shot at winning back hearts and minds with a redesign, which includes a break with the app's requirement that women make the first move.
A new feature, which the company has called “Opening Moves,” allows women to place on their profiles a question, like “What is your dream vacation?,” to which men who match can respond. (In nonbinary and same-gender matches, both sides can include these prompts.)
The shift is a major one for Bumble. Until now, a man who matched with a woman on the app had to wait for her to message him. If she did not initiate a conversation, the match would expire after 24 hours.
Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 because of her own personal experiences. She said that the idea was to give women more control. “I had a series of bad relationships, and I felt I was controlled by a man,” she added, “whether it was: Don't wear this or, You can't hang out with this person or, You need to be home at this time.”
But over the years, Bumble received feedback from women who found that making the first move was “a lot of work” or “a burden,” and Ms. Wolfe Herd began thinking about how to release the pressure. Opening Moves, she said, is a result of that process, a way to let women maintain control while not feeling the stress of initiating all of the conversations.
But not copying the whole thing because The Gray Lady be a notoriously litigious b-word.

For many, many years, I've recorded that my girls outperform the boys by a wide margin. In my case, the measured difference between them is so large that I cannot help but think something is wrong with our boys, particularly after I also account for their general behavior.
If I test 100 children and score work blindly, with names removed, the top 90% will be girls, and it has been so for a couple decades.
Sounds like you teach grade school.
Boys largely struggle to follow simple directions. Working memory is poor. Executive functioning is minimal. They are impulsive to the core, constantly distracted, and unable to perform at grade level. Compared to girls, the boys leave me feeling as if I where working with infants and toddlers. Most students we have in our special education programs and those with IEPs are boys. In every class I've had, most of the boys strike me as being mentally handicapped. Yes, there are outliers. There are always outliers amongst both genders.
lmao These literal children would rather play than listen to me, are they retarded?
I don't know if boys ever catch up,
Considering !fellas outperform !biofoids almost across the board I'd say they do more than catch up
but I do not suspect that to be the case, given the deltas I record every day. I'm familiar with the old anecdotes of boys maturing slower and being a couple years behind the emotional development of girls, but this appears to be something more ominous.
No, boys are just tuff enough that they don't falter the moment you crack the whip.
its called the patriarchy. Boys are not held to the same social standards as girls.
Then why are boys the most likely to be punished?
The patriarchy, which leaves boys behind?
The sentiment is that low achieving boys will achieve higher than high achieving women because of patriarchal standards.
These boys DON'T have to try hard because the system is meant for them to succeed.
Are you literally retarded? They don't try because they don't care. They're children who'd rather be playing amongst themselves.
Except that's not an explanation for what's happening here. Boys aren't doing worse in high school because they "have an understanding" that they will succeed later on. They're just...failing.
They aren't just failing in K-12, either. The success of boys in a continual downtrend at college as well.
It's bizarre to me that someone would look at a kid who is going to drop out of high school and say "Well, the patriarchy!" like it's a point worth making in that context.
It's because teachers are made up solely of unicels who had it pounded into their head that patriarchy
was the great satan that caused all sin in the world.
Teachers are mostly women. Parents who actually parent are mostly women. Males are taught to not respect or listen to women. It's not difficult stuff to grasp.
That doesn't track at all. Somehow the majority of authority in a boys life is female and he's taught not to respect them? No, hr learns not to respect them. Seeing teachers fail basic physical tasks, bow down to empty authority and go on childish power trips teaches him not to respect women.

Beautytok is all up in the shit right now and it's actually kind of funny so ima tell you all about it!
A few months ago a new makeup brand called Youthforia caught some flak from black beauty creators because their foundation shade range was basically non-existent for black people, and that's not allowed unless you're a Korean or Japanese brand (for obvious reasons). The owner of the brand (who is asian but is American and Youthforia is an American brand) actually came out and tried to defend their shade range by UNIRONICALLY saying it was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and was met with even more criticism because we all aren't fricking BLIND and that's STUPID. AND all of the shades on the box were NOT the shades that you get in the bottle so darker shades were actually even lighter than advertised which only made people more upset.
SO to appease the masses Youthforia expanded their shade range and introduced like 5 new shades for darker skintoned people and now everyone wants to burn down their HQ.
IT'S FRICKING SHOE POLISH BLACK. This shade is a literal asian-on-black hate crime and everyone is soooooper mad because it's LITERALLY black face paint. The shade is being compared to minstrel makeup and now Youthforia is sooper raycist.
Like you know if Time fricking magazine orders a rush job article about your debacle you done fricked up good.
Anyhoo tiktok is all abuzz with their pitchforks and you can pick pretty much any video about it and watch jaqqoffs slaughter each other in the comments with whataboutism and "muh cousin's neighbor is black like a tire and would love this!"
It's great.

The last few days on Twitter people have been mocking women who think that they'd be safer lost in the woods next to a bear than a random man.
Of course women will jump into these conversations and say "but men bad" and get flamed, then cry about how mean the internet is to the mentally handicapped.
Today, I saw this one, who seemingly proudly announces that she purposefully buzzkills parties.

My manager makes us “weigh in” before starting a shift and then again before a shift meal
I don't really know what to make of this. We've been under a lot of pressure to portion control. My manager is always freaking out when we are low on anything at all and says we aren't hitting our “numbers”.
I swear he's getting paranoid due to the pressure from corporate. There's a lot of concern about employees eating on the job and “skimping off the bins”. He decided to remedy this with a scale. I shit you not.
Before every shift we have to weigh in. Before we have our shift meal he makes us weigh in again. He says if we've gained weight we don't get to have a shift meal because obviously we are skimping? Apparently water doesn't weigh anything.
This feels illegal but he says it's not because it's to prevent theft and that he keeps the numbers private. Has this been implemented at other chipotles? Please help.

Elon Musk fires Tesla's entire supercharger team
Electric-car maker's public policy unit also being disbanded as chief announces in memo hundreds more jobs to be cut
Elon Musk has shut down the division that runs Tesla's Supercharger business, dismissed two senior executives and fired hundreds more staff as the electric-car maker continues its restructuring amid a sharp downturn in the EV market.
Musk announced internally on Monday that the head of the superchargers group, Rebecca Tinucci, and Daniel Ho, head of new products, would be leaving along with their entire teams. About 500 people were in the supercharger group, the memo said.
Tesla's supercharger system is among the largest charging networks in the world, and was one the reasons the company enjoyed such a commanding lead over rival carmakers for so long. While the supercharger operations will continue, the move raises questions over the future of the charging business.
The entire public policy unit will also be disbanded following the departure of its leader, Rohan Patel, in the middle of April.
“Hopefully these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount and cost reduction,” Musk wrote in the memo, which was first reported by The Information. “While some execstaff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so.”
Any manager “who retains more than three people who don't obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” should resign, he added.
Tesla shares, which fell 5.5 per cent on Tuesday, were down another 2.6 per cent in pre-market trading at $178.53 on Wednesday.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
[article continued]
The latest dismissals at the company come after Musk announced last month that the carmaker would cut “more than 10 per cent” of its total workforce, more than 14,000 jobs, in order to be “lean, innovative and hungry”.
The urgency of the shift was underlined by Tesla reporting a decline of almost 10 per cent in revenues in the first quarter of this year, its first year-on-year quarterly drop since the start of 2020. The share price has more than halved from its November 2021 peak of just under $410 a share.
The decision took staff by surprise. Will Jameson, who worked in the Tesla supercharger team, wrote on X that Musk “has let our entire charging org go”. Another employee of that division, George Bahadue, posted on LinkedIn confirming he had been let go.
He added: “What this means for the charging network, [North American Charging Standard] NACS, and all the exciting work we were doing across the industry, I don't yet know. What a wild ride it has been.”
When Jameson was asked by a reader on X why the entire division had been let go, he replied “your guess is as good as mine”.
Musk said in the memo that superchargers sites under construction would be finished and “some” new locations would be constructed.
The surprise move comes despite Tesla having built the dominant EV charging network with 50,000 sites globally and 15,000 in North America. Recently it has signed contracts with several rivals, including Ford, General Motors and Rivian, to use its NACS charging standard.
Models from other carmakers will be able to use its branded charging stations, potentially bringing Tesla a significant revenue stream, as well as establishing it as the de facto industry standard.
Tinucci, Ho and Patel are not the only long-standing Musk lieutenants to leave this year. Drew Baglino, senior vice-president leading Tesla's engineering and technology development for batteries, motors and energy products, resigned in April and Martin Viecha, its head of investor relations, said he would step down on the company's first-quarter earnings call last week.
In a post on X, Musk said the carmaker would continue to grow its supercharger network “at a slower pace for new locations”.
“More focus on 100 per cent uptime and expansion of existing locations,” he wrote.

Whenever a woman posts about being happy single and childless at 30+ y/o men are always in the comments saying something along the lines of “this is cope, if you were truly happy you wouldn't be posting about it”.
And thing is a woman can't be happy single and childless together because women are social creatures and will get a huge depression if they have nobody near them and western women are home enough that they also often have distant relationship with parents and family
I guess by that logic women who post about their happy marriages are also secretly miserable and “coping”.
That's also often true but women love to brag and dunk on another women so if it was man who wrote how happy married he is than that would been suspicious
Also, thinking that women are “expired” at 30 is so delusional. You can definitely get married in your 30s and even 40s. Men who watch that redpill bullshit have really lost the sense of real world.
She subconsciously shows she knows it becomes pain in butt to get married to a good man that “and even” is cherry on top
I mean of course all women in the west can marry someone living in third world and bring them to the west it's not hard and possible at any age but that ain't happening because western equality loving women don't want to betabuxx a man. And in the west at 30+ there more straight women than men and successful men that those foids want don't care about their roasties asses.
After checking her profile
https://old.reddit.com/r/s*x/comments/1ccx4uc/having_sex_on_antidepressants_as_a_woman/
Her post about women being happy single would had more weight behind if she didn't had s*x after using antidepressants 6 days ago so she probably recently broken up
She is having dreams about having bi son
Also she is pooping on Trump while she is apparently Russian living in Russia
She also must be 24 or younger

I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.
Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

I do not care if people break spaghetti because they want smaller pieces.
I do care if they break it to "make it fit in the pot".
Because it softens enough in boiling water to bend and fit after a few seconds. So people who break it for that purpose, are blatently lacking in basic critical and logical thinking, and they need to learn so they stop perpetuating that nonsense.
For people who just want smaller pieces, that's fine. Since that type of pasta isn't available in all stores, and might even be more expensive based on where you are because of much lower mass production numbers.
Because Italian food is the only thing left of the Roman Empire.
most historically literate redditor
If you saw someone wearing shoes upside down with their laces tied around their ankles wouldn't you say
"Hey! There's a better way to do that! That's not how you use shoes!"
This is the same concept but with chefs and Italians
I mean if I live with them and they waste a lot of food I might care a bit.
I know cutting crust off is a waste of food, but how is breaking pasta a waste?
If you really want to put it that way, when you try to break a noodle, you'll notice it always breaks into three pieces, the middle piece can be very small if you do it with your hands close to each other, but you will always lose a small amount of pasta by breaking it.
I just noticed you can even see it in the post all the lil pieces flying all around the photo lol
That's why you break them over the pot, angled so the broken bits go into the pot. It's an easy fix.
But why breaking it in the first place?
I think to fit it in the pot so one half isn't undercooked vs the side that's not in water
... are you all out there just yeeting pasta into a pot and leaving it to boil unattended
If I wanted to attend my food I wouldn't be making spaghetti
I don't see any issues with modifications on food. Do whatever for you to eat. Who cares
yeah! let me eat my bananas with ketchup in peace
As much as an abomination this is, if someone likes it then that's on them
I put Nutella and mayo on meat lovers pizza it's such a great combo

Nothing happening yet as of 7:55 PM. Pro Hamas supporters are in the encampment on campus. Outside are a bunch more protestors holding a rally.
A block away LAPD are lining up the cop cars and getting riot gear ready. Prison buses are apparently on the way as well to handle arrests. Pro Hamas Sympathizers are vowing they will defend their encampment.
This comes after last night where fights broke out when Based Jews came to UCLA with metal pipes and fireworks and started attacking the terrorist sympathizers in their encampment. The UCLA admin has a huge frick up on their hands where they've managed to make all sides mad by not taking this seriously after the pro muzzie supporters started blocking jewis cough sorry I meant “Zionist” students from being able to get to class on Monday. LA City Mayor Karen Bass has asked the LAPD to clear out the encampments as a result.
