Look at the amazing amounts those poor women at the eSafety commission are getting paid.

But, but, but ... what about gender inequality?

The top 7 positions are held all by women.

All those poor women earning north of $280,000.

It's so infuriating to watch yt men do things like this because the world was obviously created by a woman!!

!moidmoment !atheists say it me y'all: ALLAH IS A WOMAN. ALLAH. IS. A. WOMAN. Periodt!!!

Got some groceries and for some reason I had to enter my date of birth even though there was no alcohol (???) and I came out in just a towel. This fricker asked what happened and I said, "I've been kind of sick" and he said "s*x? "Sick." "S*x?" "no, ill."

Then after I put in my date of birth he said, "did you get jiggy?" And I said no, I'm just hanging out at home. "s*x?" (Still thinking he just doesn't understand cos he's from some brown country): "No." He goes, "come on, just ten minutes." Then I said, "thank you, bye" and shut the door while he said, "no?'

What the frick... One time an Uber driver in the U.S. called me an attractive young lady when I came out drunk and giggly but I didn't even answer this guy in a good mood, I was late to the door cos I was throwing up. What the frick???

Edit: I think it might have been that when I got my ID it was a U.S. passport and he's seen too many movies where a delivery guy knocks on an American woman's door, if you catch my drift.

Spoilers for a 20 year old TV series & TW for special interest 'tism...

The creator/showrunner/lead writer of Gilmore Girls was Amy Sherman-Palladino (ASP), and she's the main person responsible for the unique cozy vibe and fast-paced, reference-heavy dialogue of the original series. She's also something of a crazy control freak who had a very particular predefined arc in mind for the show, one that would highlight the parallels between Rory and her mother and grandmother, Emily (the 3rd Gilmore Girl). For years fans heard about the mysterious "final 4 words" that she already knew would end the series. She's like the opposite of the GoT showrunners who had no idea how the frick they were going to wrap up the ending.

ASP may be a stubborn b-word but she's a good writer with strong hat game

Except... ASP was forced out after the penultimate sixth season of the original run in a contract dispute with the network, the details of which have always been hazy. Toward the end of the sixth season, ASP added a bunch of zany plots (e.g. Lorelai throwing herself at Rory's deadbeat dad, Christopher) that almost seemed like a vindictive attempt to sabotage the show on her way out the door. The new show runners dumped into the thick of it for the seventh season did their best to tie up all the bizarre loose ends, and in doing so they moved away from the predestined fatalism of ASP's original arc - the theme of which could be loosely summed up as "no matter how you try to run away from it, you always grow up to be your mother."

Spoiled douchbag boyfriend, meet spoiled douchebag dad

For example, ASP always had in mind that Rory's rich, spoiled boyfriend, Logan, would be "her Christopher," a dissolute playboy who toys with her heart, knocks her up, and ultimately abandons her - but during the final season without ASP, the writers moved away from that storyline: Logan becomes estranged from his wealthy family, he has to stand on his own two feet, he exhibits personal growth. By the end of the series, he's ready to commit; he doesn't abandon Rory, he wants to marry her, but she decides she's not ready to settle down so young. The original series ends with Rory Gilmore, a promising young journ*list heading off to Iowa to cover the long-shot presidential campaign of a promising young Senator named Barack Obama.

The seventh season is divisive among fans for a few reasons (the hasty resolution of many of ASP's S6 landmine plots, the dialogue feels kind of off, some new characters are sloppily introduced late in the game) but I think most people enjoyed seeing Logan grow up a bit and the way his relationship with Rory matured. Most people liked the ending, and thought it was fitting to have Rory choose herself and her career over a man. There's a little bit of added millennial nostalgia/wish-fulfillment and serendipity to see Rory climbing onto the Obama campaign bus when we know he's going to win that race. As viewers, we figure Rory is off to a great start with a bright future ahead of her covering a landmark campaign up close.

Go get 'em, Ace!

Then, eight years later, Netflix gave ASP an assload of money to make A Year in the Life and she used it to take a giant shit all over Season Seven. She basically returned to Stars Hollow with the intent to settle old scores and give Gilmore Girls the ending that she knew it had to have: even if it didn't make a darn lick of sense almost a decade later. She has claimed that she has never watched S7, that she doesn't even really consider it canon. She said she had an assistant watch it and take notes for her. In AYITL, she kept one baby born in S7, and threw out almost everything else, determined to tell her version of what season 7 should have been.

Netflix: Buying your childhood to wear as a four-piece skinsuit

Lorelai and Luke (her main love interest/will-they-won't-they) act like newlyweds wrestling with the decision about whether to have kids, even though they've been married for the better part of a decade and Lorelai is pushing 50. Rory is broke, directionless and struggling like a new college grad, not like a woman in her 30s with access to a multimillion dollar trust fund. Logan is instantly back to being a useless frickboi: engaged to a beautiful woman we never see, but carrying on an affair with Rory.

The only good storyline in AYITL centers on Emily coming to terms with the loss of her husband, Richard (Rory's grandfather) and that story was forced on ASP by the real-life death of the actor Edward Herrmann. She had to actually write a new, age-appropriate story for Emily instead of dusting off whatever she wanted to do for S7, and it's so much better for it.

Poor Ed's brain cancer is the real MVP of AYITL

There's a bunch of other minor shit that sucks in AYITL: fat-shaming that feels very early-2000s and out of step with modern culture, lazily retconning certain characters to be gay for added diversity, an unfunny retread of the "Ann? Her?" gag from Arrested Development. But the main reason A Year In The Life is terrible is that ASP was too stubborn to incorporate any of the stories that other writers had given to her characters, so instead of a thoughtful extrapolation of how these characters might have lived and grown or changed over almost ten years, she did S7: ASP's Version. It's 2016, not 2007, but no one has changed at all or learned anything in the meantime.

A Year in the Life ends with the famous "final four words" that ASP had always preordained, even if they no longer make any goddarn sense from a narrative perspective:

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm pregnant."

Following a protest against Google contracts with Is real, Google tells workers not to talk politics

Google: Don't discuss politics.

Also Google: BLM, pride month, HR explicitly promoting relocation to pro-choice states, massive donations

In reality, everyone is entitled to share Google's opinion, which is made up on the fly to make money

Their marketing strategy for their phone is that it's not racist lol

Google created an environment for their employees to get political (and fire anyone who shared opposing opinions) and now act shocked that they've groomed an entire corporate structure of activists.

Something about chickens and coming home to roost.

We had a massive fight in Slack over abortion between two offices, an ultra liberal Seattle and another was a podunk ultra-religious town in Utah where the company was founded. It got so stupidly heated that a bunch of people were threatened with discipline and one women @here'd everyone and said she would adopt any babies they didn't want and also wanted to tell them all her faith testimony.

At another company, a woman almost quit during a very heated argument about what "real" BBQ was . . .

Whichever side of the politics you are on, it may seem like a good time to unionize so the workers can at least negotiate their end instead of being dictated terms.

This is why intolerance is a virtue. If you give liberalism even an inch it will escalate to this.

They play both sides 👇🏻

Literally anything a Jew does is white genocide

If I see this ad anywhere, I will destroy it

There's a common gimmick that's been popular online where a content creator will try to make a bunch of sequential trades to turn a paper clip or a pencil into something more substantial like $1000, a car or a house.

In this case, known as The Trade House Project, a woman named Dana did exactly that, traded up from a paper clip all the way to a house.

However, she didn't really need a house so she decided to give it away, and in 2022 chose an 18 year old girl named Shay to receive the house, because Shay had a tragic backstory (mom died of cancer when she was 2, dad killed himself in the aftermath) and I guess that was all it took to win the contest, it's not exactly clear.

Here's a video of a shutterfly sponsorship video when Shay initially moved in

Not only did she get a house & $10,000 from Shutterfly, but people also started sending her tons of Amazon packages from a wish list that was set up so she and her bf could start a new life together

The drama started yesterday, when Shay posted a video crying and claiming that Dana had banned her from her own house and that the entire giveaway was a scam (video, along with Shay's entire account, has since been deleted).

Dana came back posting a video with receipts

TL;DW: Shay had moved in for a month, then disappeared for 14 months while continuing to text Dana that she would be back to live in the house any day now. Because Shay had been there for such a short period, she never actually received the title to the house. Eventually Dana went into the house and found garbage, maggots, cat piss and shit everywhere and generally the house had been trashed, and decided to reclaim it and ban Shay from the house.

Tiktok drama girlies are pretty much universally pooping on Shay to the point where she deleted everything. What do you think?

Serious connection or Gold Digger

As an older man, I often run into a huge number of young women who say they want an older man to have a relationship with, but turn out wanting a "sugar daddy" or someone to take care of them.

I have even seen advice here suggesting young women promise men s*x and flirt with them to get gifts and money with no intention of engaging in a sincere relationship.

Without outright saying "I'm poor, you're going to be pulling your own weight." how should an older man seek out and make connections with attractive women that may be younger or similar in age?

If you are a woman, what attracts you to older men that is not money and "stability"?

Intermittent fasting, aka time-restricted eating, can help people lose weight—but the reason why may not be complicated hypotheses about changes from fasting metabolism or diurnal circadian rhythms. It may just be because restricting eating time means people eat fewer calories overall.

No shit Sherlock. As always the article is boring and I won't post any of it here. Let's go -hunting in the top comments.

I think people find the "calories in vs calories out" rhetoric reductive is because it implies a simplicity that doesn't fit many people's lived experiences. Not everyone will absorb the same amount of calories after eating the same sandwich, or store the same quantity of calories in adipose, and not everyone will expend the same amount of calories when they jog for a particular distance of length of time. A person's microbiota influences caloric absorption. Hormones, epigenetics and genetics also play a role in metabolism. At rest, not all bodies use energy at the same rate. If we deprive the body of calories, not all bodies scale back the same expenditures at the same rate to conserve energy. So yes, calories in vs calories out is true, but not all true statements are helpful statements.

Yes, and what this study proves is that while it's always as simple as “fewer calories means less weight”, how the “fewer calories” happens isn't always “just eat less”.

Often the “eat less move more” is used incorrectly because of course it's technically true but most people when discussing diet are trying to talk about a method to eat less, move more.

It's always frustrating when talking about a technique of how to do X, only to have a bunch of people yelling “just do X!”.

Just eat less.

Also "most people when discussing diet are trying to talk about a method to eat less, move more" is bullshit. Most people when discussing diets are looking for some magical food that will cause them to lose weight. No one on a diet discusses how they should move more.

As the arrticle says, this does seem obvious (esp since Ive tried it myself) but as a (non-nutrition) scientist it would have been exciting had they found something unexpected. Sigh. But good work regardless.

BTW while calories in/calories out is absolutely true it's not automatically obvious how many calories you get from eating X. The rating on the box comes from burning food in a calorimeter! Meanwhile your body can extract calories more easily from a small piece of doughnut than from a large, fibrous chunk of broccoli, even if they have the same number of calories on the label. To say otherwise is like saying, “well all chemistry is quantum mechanics” — completely true, but mainly in-useful.

Thanks for that, scientist.

I do time-restricted eating, but that's because I have acid reflux. Don't want tp be slamming a double cheeseburger, fries, and a coke 1/2 hour before bed.

Acid reflux is the only thing stopping this guy from slamming a double cheeseburger, fries, and a coke 1/2 hour before bed. I wonder why he has acid reflux?

So very much this. The whole “CICO”/“it's just physics!” crowd is infuriating.

Like, yes, of course the key to losing weight is to consume less than you burn. But that is by itself not a sufficiently useful strategy for addressing a population-wide obesity crisis.

Preaching sexual abstinence doesn't solve unwanted pregnancy, and preaching food abstinence doesn't solve obesity. You want people to overcome their most basic biological drives, they need more than a Nike slogan.

"Noo we have to account for the fact that everyone is incredibly dumb"

I tried the whole "eat a big breakfast so you won't need such a big lunch" thing. Doesn't work for me. I just wind up with three big meals a day instead of two, if I do that.

France: Man suspected of abducting, raping Jewish woman 'to avenge Palestine'

The abductor sent messages to victim's mother saying he was going to 'prostitute' her daughter; this allowed police to pin his location and end the victim's ordeal

A man in a suburb of Paris is suspected of abducting and raping a Jewish woman, French media reported on Tuesday. The suspect reportedly said his acts represented a "vengeance for Palestine."

The suspect is a resident of Gennevilliers, one of the immigrant-heavy suburbs of Paris. It is understood he was charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, r*pe and making death threats.

French media reported the suspect sent the victim's mother messages saying he was going to "prostitute" her daughter. The police reportedly were able to geolocate the victim's phone and end her ordeal after several days.

Never have I seen so many governments and powerful institutions bend at the knee for Israel to silence overwhelming public support for Palestine

its literally illegal to question certain things in many countries, that should be all a person with critical thinking needs to know

Don't worry, soon enough the government will start planting Nazi flags, Trump flags, and flat Earther nonsense in the protests to demonize you. There will be marches by some folks in matching clothes who arrive in the back of a U-Haul.

THIS TIME THE DEATH SQUADS WILL BE REAL GUISE TRUST ME

Get out and talk to real people. There is not overwhelming support for Palestine in the US. Americans identify more with the cops than the fat enby protesters. Not a judgment call - just reality.

this party pooper ruining things

You are getting it backwards, really. >Israel has no power, they exist because America wants them to. They're a useful regional power and ally against Iran. If the US stopped supporting them they wouldn't exist. Criticism of Israel and zionism gets shut down so fast because its criticism of US imperialism. Zionism is just a convenient cover.

That is to say, a LOT of this, has ZERO to do with neither Israel NOR Gaza, and everything to do with power-grabs & power-moved which can serve as a guise for being "about Israel" or "about Gaza" or about "maintaining civility" "peace" "safety", etc.
