The findings in a nut shell:
“Heterosexual men who play extreme metal guitar do not seem to be doing it to attract women, as has been suspected about musicians of other genres,” DeLecce told PsyPost. “Instead, it seems they are trying to impress and/or intimidate other heterosexual men with their skills.”
Also researchers mention their study suffers from small sample size.
Ukraine used to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It dates back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in '91. All of those Russian satellite countries, including Russia itself had to deal with organized crime and oligarchs and the turmoil and discord they sowed.
This is not a criticism of Ukraine as much as it is an attempt to show those issues don’t just go away in war time, in fact it can extrapolate and make matters much worse as criminals and oligarchs engage in War Profiteering.
I’m actually quite proud of Ukraine and Zelenskyy for keeping a lid on many of those unsavory elements and leading a very effective war against a foreign invader.

The State is absolutely necessary to U.S. interests in the Middle East.
Tell me you’re getting dark money by Putin, without telling me you’re getting dark money from Putin.
Y’all have to general strike or something
“Anyone not powerful, rich or politically-connected enough to scrub their names from the record will be shown.”
This is 100% going to fuck all of the victims and none of the perpetrators.
1 of 2 political parties in America is basically stating “we do not care how morally bankrupt you are, if you always tow the party line, we will give you power and cover.”
Your average Joe, unless they are an idiot, already sees the GOP for what it is and would stay away. But for a ghoul, the GOP seems like a great place to have certain proclivities and then the power and shield to ensure you can’t be prosecuted.
I know at least a couple million, but probably not a billion reasons why
I liked her better when I didn’t know she was Putin’s lapdog.
Social contract? Sounds a lot like socialism to me! /s
The election in 2024 is going to be so fucked up.
American News Media:
Does this crazy/hot take make us money while also waging culture war against and further dividing the working class?
Yes?
Air that shit 24/7.

Counterpoint, if you’re a Billionaire you probably subscribe to the idea of class warfare and that it’s your civic duty to fuck the poors. Keep donating money to causes that keep the poor eating themselves and not the wealthy.
The article mentions that the cadmium can largely be mitigated by preventing the beans from touching dirt in the drying process and shielding them from heavy metal dust. The lead though is probably introduced at the factory, and that’s obviously a problem but not immediately clear where it’s being introduced.
It also mentions that the only likely reason milk chocolate doesn’t have these unsafe levels is because the dairy content reduces the amount of pure chocolate requires for the mix. So both milk and dark chocolate are bad, it’s just milk chocolate has cocoa in it and thus less heavy metal.
Unfortunately the Dollar is going Endgame. We’re trapped in a debt spiral that’s either going to blow up interest rates to unstable proportions causing Global Instability, or be forced to drop interest rates back to nothing causing hyper inflation for America.
The USA will most likely transition to a central bank backed digital currency (CBDC) as the dollar implodes and I don’t understand how that might affect countries still using the dollar.
You are of course joking. But on the infinitly tiny odds you win, and the similarly ridiculous odds you follow through, I’ll comment
My 6.5yo is playing it with me and he loves it. We got the DLC edition or whatever and are level 50 about to play the final boss of the main game, haven’t reached the Stronghold yet or any of the DLC.
There’s a bit of a learning curve, but so far I’ve been able to teach my son that Green(Rare) and Orange (Unique) are better than Common (Grey). For items and gear, higher level items are almost always better, for pools of mobs he’s better off kiting and using ranged attacks.
He can’t read much yet, so I have to explain what the enchantments are and he’ll upgrade if he likes them.
I like the game way more than Minecraft Legends.
