Does it seem like a higher percent of adult men have a negative chin length in 2025 than in 2015
I have never remember noticed seeing a man or woman with a negative chin length in real life until after the 2019 "pandemic"
Was I just exposed to information about women judging men by chins so I noticed something in plain sight that I did not notice before or have demographics changed
It looks like the front of the bottom of their jaw is behind the part of their face between the nose & the lips

If you’re new to Umamusume Pretty Derby, the game might feel a bit overwhelming at first. It’s not your typical mobile game—Umamusume blends character development, training strategy, and horse racing into one deep simulation.
Would not have thought the venn diagram of weeb and horsegirl covered enough people to fund a game like this, but the more I think about it the more this makes total sense
It really makes a lot more sense if you consider that a lot of anime fans are AFAB. "Weeb" feels like a very gendered word to me, but is there really such a big difference between male and female anime fans?
Thomas Keith on X: "Israel entered the 12-day exchange convinced it could absorb costs; the ledger now shows a nation bleeding cash, talent, and confidence. Direct military outlays hit $5 B in the first week, then ballooned to $725 M every 24 hours, $593 M on offensive strikes that failed to silence Iran, $132 M on frantic mobilisation and missile intercepts that still let 400 warheads through. Iron Dome batteries alone inhaled $10 M to $200 M per day while Iranian salvos sailed past them and erased $1.47 B in civilian property, triggering 38 700 damage claims, 11 000 evacuations, and 30 condemned high-rise skeletons across Tel Aviv’s financial spine.
The Weizmann Institute, Israel’s prestige export, lies in shards, 45 labs gone and $500 M in biomedical IP incinerated, pulling decades of grant pipelines and pharma partnerships off the table overnight. Intel’s Kiryat Gat fabs froze mid-wafer, choking a supply chain that feeds 64 % of Israel’s exports and 1/5 of its GDP; the high-tech sector now runs on skeleton crews because 300 000 reservists were yanked from R&D floors and data centers to guard empty runways at Tel Nof. Commercial flights halted twice at Ben Gurion, insurers jacked premiums, and foreign airlines rerouted around a country that once sold itself as the region’s safe hub.
Capital is already in flight. More than 80 000 Israelis emigrated in 2024, the largest outflow since 1948, pushing the two-year total above 500 000 and forcing Netanyahu’s cabinet to slap a travel ban on Jewish dual nationals to stem the leak. Investor confidence cratered: venture funds paused term sheets, construction sites stand idle, and mega-projects wait on credit that no longer clears. The finance ministry, staring at a deficit set to shove public debt past 75 % of GDP, begged for an extra $857 M in defence cash while slicing $200 M from hospitals and schools.
Analysts peg Israel’s aggregate loss between $11.5 B and $17.8 B, up to 3.3 % of GDP, before counting long-tail hits from halted exports, cancelled IPOs, and sovereign-risk downgrades. Iran, still sitting on its uranium stockpile, spent a fraction of that yet forced the self-styled “Start-Up Nation” into a liquidity scramble, an insurance panic, and a brain-drain spiral. Tel Aviv promised deterrence; Tehran handed it a balance sheet in red ink and the visible stamp of strategic humiliation.
Les capitaux sont déjà en fuite. Plus de 80 000 Israéliens ont émigré en 2024, le plus grand exode depuis 1948, portant le total sur deux ans à plus de 500 000 et obligeant le cabinet de Netanyahu à imposer une interdiction de voyager aux Juifs ayant la double nationalité afin d’endiguer l’hémorragie.
@Max_Imum That's more objective than the urine color test. The reason I ask is that humans have been taught for years that they need to augment their water with salt when your bodies are perfectly capable of maintaining that balance via ADH (assuming an adequate diet) and that performance enhancement via sports beverages is largely (if not exclusively) due to the sugar, not the salt.
Yesterday Gretchen Reynolds and I blogged more or less simultaneously about fluid consumption issues while running, particularly while marathoning. Gretchen's blog appeared here on the New York Times website; and mine here at RunnersWorld.com.
Fully agree, pls note that murder is assisted by arms suppliers and business partners in Germany UK usa and many other countrys. Governments are also complicit in the despicable act of Genocide.
Meh. Chomsky lost all moral and intellectual credibility to weigh in on "War" when he justified Putin's illegal and continued war on Ukraine. He's on the side of the fascist Putin and Trump when it fits his global bias and against the side of Netanyahu and Trump when it doesn't.
that population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army… manages to make October 7 raid into enemy territory to kill civilians (including ~30kids), before that constantly sends rockets, accepts money and weapons from Iran, and to maintain those operations dig tunnels under civilian buildings to use them as covers…
Japan Times: Immigration raids leave crops unharvested and California farms at risk
""OXNARD, California... In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone," she said in an interview. "If 70% of your workforce doesn't show up, 70% of your crop doesn't get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don't want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.""
In the vast agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, farmers and field supervisors have said that ICE raids have led a majority of workers to stop showing up.
For many, the memory of the Holocaust as a break with civilization is the moral foundation of the Federal Republic. To compare it with other genocides is therefore considered a heresy, an apostasy...
for the millionth time, White America is just racist, no Russian interference required.
And also, both major US political parties deserve the criticism. Both parties have advanced capitalist minority rule, white supremacy, and imperialism against (among others) the Vietnamese, Palestinian, and Chilean peoples.
Our Chicago School ratfuckers helped Russia implement capitalist oligarchy (aka "democracy"), and it led to Putin rising to power a couple decades later.
Just like we are seeing here in America with Trump
The US political establishment is complicit in genocide, fascism, and exploitation around the globe, and this criminal enterprise has been going on since the first British colonies were founded on the North American continent in the 1600s.
It's not all Kamala's fault or Biden's fault or even Trump's fault, but they willingly integrated themselves into it instead of working to destroy it and replace it with something less murderous and cruel.
The cost of this bill, described in terms of how many dollars per second or dollar coins would need to be spent or thrown to equal the amount of money being added to the federal government’s negative balance.
I want to point out that Niagara of money ends up in the hands of 2000 families in the United States. They are going to line their pockets while the rest of us are being pushed off an economic cliff. Hundreds of thousands of Americans won’t survive

And should we survive this fascist bullshit and Dems take over? The repugniQunts will SCREAM about the horror of the DEBT (used for that 0.01%'s enrichment) and with Earned Helplessness abounding, the Dems will weakly be unable to do any good like pass Medicare-for-All (Jayapal/Sanders).

„We continue to come together as a political community to take action to end the genocide for as long as it takes. (…)
Join us as we take collective action to demand an #armsembargo on Israel, an immediate end to the genocide, a lasting #ceasefire and an end to Israeli #siege, #apartheid, #occupation, and #oppression of Palestinians.“
Now into the second year of genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and outrage.

Oliver North being invited to Fox News as a “military analyst” talking about how Iran shouldn't have missiles and is a threat to peace in the middle east, as if it wasn't him who sold missiles to Iran in order to create untraceable funds through which to support the Contras in Nicaragua when congress cut funding (which was high treason).
@Nickiquote Media has no ethical scruples. Over here in UK, they frequently get Kwasi Kwarteng (Liz Truss’s chancellor and so co-responsible for crashing our economy) to discuss Government policy and economics. Shameless all round.
The weak will drag you down if you give party to their insufficiencies and weakness. This is no time to side with them Pity them. The insufferable. Those that seek comfort in their inadequacies. They are not made for this. The weak remain so. Be bold.
Ego + arrogance. Trump wields both. That is what is needed. Do you think a squishy feeble untethered elected politician would ever bring you that? Brass knuckles. Truth. Everything is not going to suit you. Big picture. All pieces don’t fall into place according to your vision. Accept that one crucial fact. Relax. Have faith. Trust. Who is willing to stand up in the face of all aligned against him? One last question. Who else has been willing? Go ahead…
The Supreme Court on June 27 handed down a decision restricting federal judges’ ability to impose nationwide injunctions against executive policies, a ruling that was immediately hailed by President Donald Trump as a win for his administration.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Israel codenamed its initial attack on Iran that killed senior military leaders "Red Wedding," referring to a gruesome massacre from the book series "Game of Thrones," which was adapted into a TV series on HBO.
😡😡😡 🇺🇸💰🇮🇱 While Americans argue over rent hikes, groceries, and student loans, Israel has extracted $124 M per day from the U.S. Treasury for an entire year, much of it hidden behind opaque appropriations and congressional loopholes.
According to Brown University’s Costs of War project, Washington has shouldered 70% of Israel’s military costs since Oct 7, 2023. That includes $17.9 B in direct aid, $4.86 B in Pentagon regional ops, $20.3 B in deferred arms deals, and billions more in shipping losses, stockpile transfers, and corporate handouts.
Since 1948 the United States has pumped $317 B into Israel, including $251.2 B in military aid since 1959; that torrent began with the first Pentagon loan in 1959, switched to grants in 1974, became 100% grants in 1985, and now flows automatically as a $3.8 B lump-sum every Oct 1 plus a $500 M missile-defense kicker under the 2019-2028 MOU, money on which Israel pockets the interest because Washington lets it sit in a Fed account. Even so, FY-2024 set a new single-year record: $17.9 B, dwarfing the 1973 and 1978 surges and landing entirely on U.S. taxpayers.
That FY-2024 fire-hose breaks down as $6.8 B Foreign Military Financing, $4.5 B for Iron Dome and David’s Sling reloads, $1.2 B for the Iron Beam laser, $1 B to crank out more 155 mm shells in U.S. factories, and $4.4 B to refill Pentagon stockpiles stripped for Israeli use, again, $17.9 B in 11 months. The administration also slid at least 100 separate weapons deals under congressional reporting thresholds to keep the true cost opaque.
On 8-13-2024 Washington promised another $20.3 B: 50 F-15EX fighters priced at $18.8 B for delivery in 2029, 32 000 120 mm tank rounds at $774 M, $583 M in tactical vehicles, 30 AMRAAMs at $102 M, and 50 000 mortar bombs at $61 M, all deferred to future U.S. budgets via Israel’s “cash-flow” privilege.
Meanwhile the money flows back to the usual corporate feeders. 60 % of the $14 B April supplemental, $8.4 B, went straight to U.S. arms firms. Boeing’s defense arm booked $8 B in Q4-2023 orders, 36 % of its annual revenue. The Financial Times projects $52 B in free cash flow for the top-15 defense contractors in 2026, $26 B pocketed by the U.S. “big five,” cash they historically plow into buybacks and dividends. Israel still may divert 25 % of each yearly grant, $950 M this cycle, to its own industry before that carve-out expires in 2028.
Add it up and the past 12 months have drained $17.9 B in direct aid, $20.3 B in new contractual obligations, $4.86 B (and climbing) in Pentagon regional costs, and $2.1 B in trade losses, a $45.16 B extraction. That works out to $124 M every day, $1.5 M every hour, funneled from American households to a foreign military and a handful of weapons conglomerates that treat the U.S. Treasury like an open vein.
Some Americans are so poor they have to work two jobs to get by. For example, this man is working as a perfume salesman and also works part time as the President of the USA.
Head of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU), Shaher Saad, welcomes a powerful joint statement from more than 52 Arab & international trade union federations, calling for an immediate end to Israel’s assault on #Gaza.
When then US Senate passes the budget bill which defunds Medicaid, raises energy costs to protect a dying and toxic fossil fuel industry by crippling renewables, and give a huge handout to the domestic criminal cartel known as "Department of Homeland Security", it will result in more carnage than if a foreign adversary aerially bombed the whole country for a couple years.
But the oligarchs who own our politicians have their interests protected, which is the point of all of this.
thinking about how refusing to burn oil or buy plastic looks a lot like a general strike. Smash the oligarchs and save the earth for our descendants at the same time
@h2onolan unfortunately it doesn't really work like that for this, as energy generation for electricity is where much of the emissions come from, and it's impossible to just not use electricity. Additionally things like air travel (including private jets) and our food system also use a lot of fossil fuels and boycotting would actually just make it cheaper for, say, those who fly in private jets to fly more, since the demand would go down
So, the question on everyone's mind is "Why isn't anyone stopping him?" And unfortunately, the answer to that question is "Because fundamentally the Constitution is not designed to stop someone like him".
The Constitution is designed to handle the occasional weak, ineffectual, or even ignorant President. But the founders never in their wildest dreams imagined they would need to protect against widespread, coordinated attacks by multiple partisan bad faith actors abusing the power given to them by the document to dismantle the Republic the document is supposed to safeguard.
So let's call this what it is. Not a Presidency. Not a regime. A coup.

One of those cocktail stirring spoons with a long, round handle. Makes stirring a glass full of ice extremely easier compared to normal spoon handles. In contrast, I found mixing glasses and cocktail shakers fairly optional (and those tend to be more expensive than $20 anyway if they're decent quality).
Oh man, there's this German company Beurer that makes simple equipment for medical home application. They make this sort of zapper thing, which is battery oper and it just heats the shit out of a little ceramic plate. Put that on a bug bite, it heats away the irritation. No more itch, no more venom in your body, just gone.
I am no longer careful around biting bugs. Keep in mind it's not supposed to work for stingers.
I figured for 15 euros it'd be too bad if it doesn't work but I now can't imagine not having it.
I've since also bought a TENS/EMS machine of theirs and a laser hair removal tool is underway for my wife.
I completely trust this company based on just two products.
I got a device from a competitor (the original company's devices are >20€ nowadays). Worked great, too, but its longevity sucked - the next year, the ceramic plate didn't get hot enough anymore, even with fresh batteries. Yet another example of "buy cheap, buy twice".
Broke single mom here. My H&M usually offers a buy one get one discount on boys’ cotton boxers, so whenever I buy a pack for my 12 year old son, I grab myself one as well and they serve pretty well as pajama shorts which I pair with a cheap oversized cotton tee.

BBC m I really outraged by a call to kill genocidal soldiers, starving kids or luring people into food distribution so as to use them as human targets than by the deaths of more than 300.000 Palestinian civilians (lattest US surveys).
How beautifully obnoxious.

No better, Brad Pitt prosecuted for his character in "Obnoxious bastards".
Far from being a threat to the British people, activists fighting for the Palestinian cause are in fact reflective of public opinion and helping to close the gap between international law and Britain’s support for Israeli oppression.
The Venezuelan government has issued a forceful demand for the immediate return of 18 Venezuelan children being held in U.S. custody after being separated from their families.
Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

Never made sense to me why handicapped vans put the doors on the side rather than the back where they could use ANY parking space and never have this problem.
So if going 8 feet in a chair is a problem in the van, how is it any easier to go 8 feet on the ground? To clarify my position here, what I am saying is that there are better ways to improving the functionality of people who are crippled than crippling the rest of the population.

The Israeli military admitted on Monday that its forces have killed Palestinians in Gaza near aid sites run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), but claimed the death toll from Gaza's Health Ministry was exaggerated.

At this point, the way people talk about Hamas, it's like they aren't even talking about the real thing. They're talking about their internalized propaganda movie of Hamas.
This is true of both people who see them as a Bush era terror machine and people who see them as heroic freedom fighters who can do no wrong.
Hamas can only be understood from a rational perspective when considering the totality of the Israeli rule over the Gaza strip, the social movements that predated Hamas, the economic context Hamas took power in, the historical ties between Israel and Hamas, and their role in the second intifada.
The truth is that Hamas is a partisan militant organization that is a genuine multi-branched mass movement on the part of an oppressed and colonized population. Its military wing is also guilty of both wartime atrocities and collaboration with Israel at various points in its history. Both can be true at the same time.
This is the first I've heard of Hamas ever collaborating with Israel. Do you have sources that discuss that in more detail? It's surprising to me considering Hamas is well known for killing Palestinians who collaborate with Israel.
@be I'm referring to when the Muslim Brotherhood of Gaza received funding from the state of Israel, with the intention of destabilizing the revolutionary socialist Palestinian Liberation Organization during the 1980s. (I will be clear that I have a more positive view of the pre Oslo PLO than Hamas)
That and on a more abstract level, they arguably collaborated by "playing their part" according to Israel's script, even if "their part" was nominally confrontational, but mainly to prevent Palestinian unity. Not exactly controlled opposition but perhaps "happy to be managed" opposition? They didn't really colour outside the lines until Israel decided perhaps they didn't need them anymore at all.
I am not pro-Hamas, and my criticisms of Hamas also diverge from the Zionist criticism of Hamas (namely that all Palestinians should die, and that they should take to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter, with all resistance being proof that they should kill them harder)
They're very obviously a desperate reaction to Israeli oppression, though, were that oppression to suddenly cease, Hamas would not. I see them as very similar to the IRA of the 80s and 90s and similar strategies could apply such as providing a path to legitimacy through wider recognition. In the IRA's case, this primarily took the form of the Sinn Féin political party that, last I checked, remains strong.
TEHRAN – In an interview with Australasian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), a scholar specializing in Middle East security and nuclear policy says if Israel and the United States intended to destroy Iran’s nuclear program they have failed.
