Men have always had a choice on when and if they married. Women were the ones who were sold and traded as property (106)

Nonsense. Women provided protection, dowrys, and largely married & procreated. They passed on their DNA. Men much more disposable, and many did not. With female empowerment, hypergamy on full display. (-23)

You work hard because the struggle is the reward. Do you remember that part of LOTR The Two Towers where Legolas complains (in elvish) that everyone in Helm's Deep was going to die? Because of the enormous orc army waiting to kill them? And Aragorn says, "Then I will die with them!", really showing Legolas up for being a whiny b-word? And then later Legolas seeks forgiveness, saying, "I was wrong to despair". Aragorn shows him that the fight is all there is. Legolas was wrong to despair then, and you are wrong to do so now. Don't despair! Life is challenge. Life is struggle. The climb is all there is. Climb, pilgrim. Do not give in to bitterness and resentment. Climb! (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

No it's all worthless. There is no happiness without people. Humans are tribal creatures. There's no joy it's just misery. Am I supposed to care about being productive for a society that doesn't want me and has outcast me? Again I've to slave away for no benefit to myself why? (4)

If you're poor you're more miserable. If you can't afford food, can't afford heat, can't afford the things you like, can't afford a car, and depend on society to sustain you, that's misery. Being rich and alone isn't a great life either, but being poor and alone is worse. There's a reason they have the term "poor and lonely" as being a really bad pathetic thing. (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

No, not all. But they do make up a strong base, to be fair. (4)

No they don't. I'd hazard to guess that most incels are democrat voters. Conservatives believe in working hard and following traditional morals and norms. Whether or not they adhere well to that is something else, but they certainly aren't attracted to sitting in their mothers basements complaining about how bad they have it, that's what leftists do. In fact, the entire ideology is antithetical to incels. Heck, one of the things that made Jordan Peterson famous was the notion that men need to get their shit together and clean their room. It was to stop blaming everyone around them and instead work to better their lives, something that the left widely rejects. I would be shocked to hear this person voted for Trump. They would want more hand outs because apparently the world is impossible to survive in while eating regularly. This post was a monologue of a loser. And incel losers are usually whiny, spoiled, entitled, leftists. (-11)

Astronomers have been left red-faced after announcing the discovery of a new near-Earth asteroid — only to realize that the supposed space rock was the remains of Elon Musk's cherry-red Tesla Roadster and its spacesuit-clad driver "Starman."

The misidentified object, which was launched into space on board a SpaceX rocket in 2018, highlights a growing problem in astronomy that could lead to costly errors, researchers say.

On Jan. 2, the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC) added a new object, dubbed 2018 CN41, to its list of near-Earth asteroids. The supposed space rock was identified by an unnamed amateur astronomer in Turkey using years of publicly available data, Astronomy.com reported. However, just 17 hours later, the MPC released an editorial notice retracting the discovery after the citizen scientist realized they had made a mistake.

The Tesla Roadster, which was previously used by Elon Musk, was launched into space on Feb. 6, 2018, as the test payload for the maiden launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The publicity stunt garnered widespread attention at the time, partly due to Starman — a mannequin in the car's driving seat that was wearing a likely defective spacesuit and "listening" to David Bowie's album "Space Oddity" on loop.

The car and its driver headed toward Mars after escaping Earth's gravity and were supposed to enter a stable orbit around the Red Planet, which raised alarms at the time that it could become a potential Martian "biothreat" if it accidentally crash-landed there. However, the pair overshot their target and instead entered a stable orbit around the sun. Now, it circles the sun and occasionally zooms past Mars.

The Tesla has now completed roughly 4.5 trips around the sun, traveling at roughly 45,000 mph (72,000 km/h), according to whereisroadster.com. This means that the car has now exceeded its initial 36,000-mile warranty around 100,00 times.

However, the car is probably unrecognizable now after being exposed to years of intense radiation from the sun and bombarded by tiny fragments of space rocks, which have likely stripped the outer layers of the car and shredded Starman.

This is not the first time that human-made objects have been mistaken for near-Earth asteroids. The MPC has temporarily listed a number of spacecraft as space rocks over the last two decades — including the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft, NASA's Lucy probe, the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo mission and others — as well as rocket boosters and other debris, according to Astronomy.com.

This type of confusion will also likely increase as more human-made objects are launched into space.

These misidentifications could lead to more false alarms for near-Earth asteroids, which could in turn result in costly errors, Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard and Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Astronomy.com. "Worst case [scenario], you spend a billion [dollars] launching a space probe to study an asteroid and only realize it's not an asteroid when you get there," he said.

While space agencies and private companies are required to accurately track their products in orbit around Earth, there is currently no legislation that forces them to do the same for spacecraft and debris that escape Earth's gravity, like the Tesla Roadster.

However, "such transparency is essential for promoting space situational awareness, reducing interference between missions, [and] avoiding interference with observations of natural objects," members of the American Astronomical Society warned in a 2024 statement.

Or maybe it's actually good this time?

I'll have some prop bets in the comments, but let me know if you have any ideas. Okay onto a preview of the game

Their paths to atlanta

Ohio State

The Buckeyes entered the playoff as the No. 8 seed — though ranked No. 6 in the final CFP top 25 — after missing out on an opportunity for the Big Ten championship and a bye following a shocking home loss to longtime rival Michigan. Spirits seemed gloomy in Columbus as the Wolverines took down Ohio State for the fourth consecutive season — on what was a particularly down year for "that team up north." Questions were swirling around head coach Ryan Day and what to make of potentially another disappointing season. However, Day quickly put the murmurs to bed, easily running by Tennessee in the first round and manhandling undefeated, No. 1 seed Oregon in the CFP quarterfinals.

The Buckeyes outscored their first two playoff opponents 83-38 before taking down Texas 28-14 in the Cotton Bowl. Their semifinal matchup was still a two-score win, but OSU was tested late, unlike in its previous two playoff games. The Longhorns had possession inside the Buckeye's 5-yard line late in the game, threatening to tie the game at 21 in the fourth. However, the stout Ohio State defense stepped up, knocking the Texas offense back outside the 5-yard line before OSU defensive end Jack Sawyer strip-sacked Quinn Ewers and ran the ball 83 yards to the house.

It was a play that Buckeye nation will not soon forget, and Ryan Day's once-questioned squad is rolling into Atlanta with about as much momentum as a team can hold.

Notre Dame

The Irish entered the playoff seeded No. 7, incapable of receiving a bye as an independent. This is a team that was counted out early in the season, and at the time, it was fair. Notre Dame lost to the MAC's Northern Illinois in Week 2. It was a low point in South Bend, and heavy pressure was immediately dropped on Marcus Freeman's squad. One more loss in its remaining 10 games would have likely knocked the Irish out of the 12-team playoff.

Four months later, Notre Dame holds the nation's longest winning streak (13) and is heading to its first title game since 2012. The Irish took a similar, while not as dominant, path as the Buckeyes, defeating Indiana and Georgia relatively easily before their defense stepped up late against Penn State in the semifinals. Riley Leonard and Notre Dame will look to add its another ring to its historic football program on Monday.

Series history

Ohio State leads the all-time series 6-2, winning the previous six matchups since 1995. Notre Dame's only two wins came in 1935 and 1936. The two powerhouse programs most recently faced off in 2023, delivering one of the best finishes of the season.

No. 9 Notre Dame led No. 6 Ohio State 14-10 with 1:25 remaining when the Buckeyes took over on their own 35-yard line with one timeout. The next 12 plays consisted of a 3rd and 10, 4th and 7 and 3rd and 19 conversion down to the Notre Dame 1-yard line. With no timeouts, a 3rd and goal from the 1 and 3 seconds on the clock, OSU running back Chip Trayanum punched it in for the 17-14 win.

It was arguably the best finish of the season that came in late September and one that is likely in the back of many Ohio State and Notre Dame fans' minds as we near Monday night.

Defense wins championships

The old Bear Bryant adage reigns true in 2025 as each team is anchored by two of the top defensive units in the nation. The Buckeyes rank first in the FBS in points per game allowed (12.2), yards per game (251.4) and yards per play (3.9). Day has built a sound defense on all levels, boasting an elite pass rush complemented by a smothering secondary.

Two stats exemplify the greatness of the OSU defense — opponent's red zone scoring percentage (61.11%) and sack percentage (11.06%). Both stats rank first nationally and have been fully displayed in the playoffs. The Buckeyes have 16 sacks in their three playoff games, and on the season, they are bringing down the QB over once per 10 pass attempts. Sacks are drive killers, and it will be a tall task for the Irish's banged-up offensive line to slow them down.

As for the Irish defense, they sit in second behind OSU in points allowed (14.3), seventh in yards allowed (298.7) and fifth in yards per play (4.4). Notre Dame's sack and red zone percentage don't quite stack up with the Buckeyes, but Freeman's squad has its own identity — forcing turnovers. The Irish have four thus far in the playoffs, two interceptions and two fumbles, and they are fifth in the FBS in takeaways per game on the season (2.1). All-American safety Xavier Watts has six interceptions (second in the FBS), so Will Howard must keep a close eye on the ball-hawk in the Notre Dame secondary.

Offensive X factors

Although the defenses are elite, the offenses are still flushed with talent, as expected from national championship contenders. Here are two offensive talents that could make a huge difference in the national championship:

Notre Dame

The Irish's offense is powered on the ground, averaging over 200 yards rushing per game. The combination of dual-threat Leonard and superstar running back Jeremiyah Love has poisoned teams all season. However, Love is dealing with a lingering knee injury. He is expected to play but with the added restraint of a knee brace, meaning Notre Dame may not be able to rely on him as much as Freeman would like.

In addition, this is one of the few, if not the first, matchups this season that the Irish might be out-matched on paper. It's easy to run the ball with a lead, but this reliance can hurt teams trying to come from behind — especially with your star running back not 100% healthy.

That being said, Leonard and the receivers will have to step up as they did against Penn State, and Notre Dame's leading receiver in the semifinals, Jaden Greathouse, has become Leonard's go-to target. Against the strong OSU pass rush, Greathouse should be heavily involved out of the slot position, as Leonard will need to get the ball out quick. Greathouse has fast feet and a large 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame. He could become a true game-changer as the Irish pursue their first title since 1988.

Ohio State

The obvious answer here is Jeremiah Smith. Through three playoff games, he has 14 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns. But... 290 of those yards came before the semifinals. Smith's final stat line against Texas in the semis: one catch for three yards. Now, Texas entered the Cotton Bowl with a clear game plan — stop Jeremiah Smith. Steve Sarkisian double or triple bracketed the freshman most of the night. And to come to the Longhorns' defense, it almost worked until the red zone collapse at the end of the game.

While of course Freeman is not guaranteed to deploy the same efforts at stopping Smith, it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea, seeing how he gashed Tennessee and Oregon. Thankfully for OSU fans, the Buckeyes produce wide receiver talent at the same rate McDonald's makes cheeseburgers. Guys like Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate are high-level talents, and if Smith gets the Calvin Johnson treatment, one, if not both, of these receivers should be in line for a big day.

Egbuka has experience against Watts and the Irish secondary, tallying 96 yards in the school's last matchup in 2023, including the huge 3rd and 19 catch with seconds remaining to set up the game-winning touchdown. The projected first-round draft pick will be a guy to look out for in Atlanta.

To all our well-meaning newly-arrived liberal refugees, who is this "we" you keep referring to when you lecture and virtue signal about Ukraine?

As far as "we" are concerned, you're all 80% as complicit as the isolationists in the current rightoid administration for the current geopolitical state of the world. It was Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal which emboldened Putin. It was years of liberal soft-handedness and tolerance of crossed red lines from Russia, which prevented Ukraine from joining NATO. It was Biden who refused direct intervention even when Russian troops were miles away from Kyiv. From Iran to Russia to Hamas, and soon China, we've warned for decades that authoritarians are deterred by solidarity and strength, not olive branches.

And now you want to lecture about Republican isolationism? My brother in Allah, you're the problem. As far as we're concerned, you're post Molotov-Ribbentrop Stalin lecturing about the dangers of nazi expansionism. Our contempt for isocucks does not preclude our equal contempt for you. So spare us the self-righteous lectures. The prisoners at gitmo are lucky they were only subjected to waterboarding, and not "self-righteous lecture by self-unaware liberal".

"Could it be the fault of Bush fricking up the Iraq War (and lying about WMDs) that Americans are now isolationalist? Nope. It's Obama's fault"

This is your one chance losers, dont mess it up!

I've been thinking a lot recently about the logic and purpose of hating foids - is it even worth it? What exactly is the endgame of foid hate, and what do we have to show for the last 20 years of foid hate?

Foids are, like it or not, always going to exist. Foids are, like it or not, always going to be favored over men even by other men as men naturally tend to protect foids even if the foids are vicious monsters that hate them.

Either foid hating is pointless and we give up now or we need radical new solutions to the foid question, as foids have only grown in power over the last 20 years (even during a large spike in anti-foid views.)

As I grow older I find it harder and harder to get motivated when it comes to foid hating - I imagine this to be a little like when a Japanese ww2 vet meets an American ww2 vet.

Hello my fellow Mobians it is I Elias Acorn, King of the house of Acorn with fresh intel from Robtoniks Robotropolis. The dastardly Robotonik forces his overlander subjects to eat nothing but liquid soy feed in order to save money for his cruel schemes, but it seems his Soylent factories are starting to run out. One over lander notices:

Shortages, discounts at supermarkets, no refunds, service delays. Is this it?

To which this astute Overlander noticed:

When I posted my concerns about their financial health 3 months ago, soylent_team replied saying:

We promise we aren't going anywhere. There have been some bumps this year, but hang on with us, we promise we are here to stay! [1]

In August, their CEO said:

We have integrated and created efficiencies through our shared service platform for our brands over the course of 2023 and 2024 allowing the Company to now experience tremendous retail expansion, topline growth and higher margins. [...] If you look at any of our portfolio companies we are winning because we have extremely unique products and brands with defensive moats and scaling distribution [2]

However, their accountants sounded less upbeat when they wrote in a recent filing:

substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year [3]

[2] https://investors.starcobrands.com/press-releases/detail/93/starco-brands-announces-insider-stock-buy-back-plan-and

[3] See "NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN" here.

This overlander wonders how Doctor Robtonik's mean bean soylent machine could have ever run into problems:

It must take a special kind of incompetence to screw up such a fabulous company. I mean, the Soylent founders built a great tasting, nutritional product, gained a loyal and enthusiastic following, expanded the product line, went international, and were a market leader. They had every advantage! Now look at them - a struggling unit of a penny stock company that can't meet its commitments. What a bloody shame.

Im sure eating nothing but soy feed and motor oil is nutritious

This sad overlander is so dependent on the soy feed he is now unable to eat normal food:

I would die if soylent went out of business

While Robtonik serves other forms of gruel to his subjects it seems they are somehow even worse then the dreeded soylent

They really need new ownership under someone that cares about the brand and the company's original vision. The Starco buyout was the beginning of the end. At the end of the day, Soylent's original powder is the only product I have been able to drink daily for years and not have any issues. If anything it is consistent. I tried Huel as an alternative due to the shortage and I HATED it. It tastes like plain oatmeal with 20 packets of Splenda and is so thick you need a spoon to consume it (not to mention it gives me a painful stomach ache). So is Soylent going under? I honestly don't know, but I do hope that someone competent can right the clearly sinking ship that is the Soylent brand.

This is why in the Kingdom of Knothole we only eat the finest real foods like Uncle Chuck's chili dogs rather then this technological abomination. Source Speed Freedom Fighters may you win in your quest to free these poor souls
