It’s a journal site, here’s the link to the actual study in nature. The language is tougher.

I think i see where you’re coming from, to me it feels like traveling a long path from the obvious economics of subsidy and advertising, especially the ubiquity of beef, and making that about the patriarchy. Feels removed from the problem of economic incentive, but more than just access seems to drive it, this paper has multiple relevant drivers though and it does seem to be at least partially based on gender.

Yeah, i think that research might be missing some context…

Meat consumption by males goes up when you have a developed nation, it’s almost purely economic, stupid to try to make this part of the culture war considering how small these communities are and their median ages.

“Economic factors explain the influence of human development since meat production costs are higher than plant-origin food production. Nations with more resources provide more options for individuals to buy and eat beef. The findings build on comparable studies with psychological traits and help rule out reference group effects as a possible reason.”

The dude who self immolated over the bitcoin conspiracy really took the wind out of the sails of the modern self immolation movement. The willingness to do this says more about the mental state of the immolated than it does about the issue.

I was being facetious, I was at best neutral before horse gate.

Yeah, that’s his remaining audience in a nutshell. It’s legit creepy.

No, when he exposed his loli horse porn to the world I lost the respect I never actually had for him in the first place i guess.

It’s one thing to be so stupid you don’t have a different personal computer to do your weird jerk off shit. It’s another to then expose your creepy jerk off shit to your audience. It’s yet another third thing that your audience is willing to just ignore it and keep watching. Gross!

Pretty sure the only sentient being that would need to be worried around Vaush would be a little girl he wants to take on a stable tour.

Maybe you’re some kind of genius… Maybe it was that whole polls showing both Biden and Trump being beaten by not just any other Democrat or republican, they were polling under THEORETICAL OPPONENTS. Each of them could have been beaten by the THOUGHT of a different candidate.

Really? The advice I’ve seen for years at a traffic stop is to only roll down your window enough to talk to the officer and hand over paperwork and to close it immediately after. Along with not voluntarily providing any extra information and only answering questions as asked.

That’s for your safety, not theirs. You can argue the full tints, but the vehicle was surrounded by officers and many of them were aware this person was playing football that day.

In context this is one of stupidest escalations I’ve seen since ever and I can’t believe none of these other cops stopped it from happening. Give this a little more time and the rest of the guys are gonna get lit up along with the dude who’s on administrative leave.

Like in order to make this shit look ok, you have to full on compare the reaction to someone who was engaged in a crash or hit and run, has a warrant, or is a sovcit. They could run this dudes plates in 7 seconds and understand this dude wasnt a threat, they probably should have escorted him the rest of the way after they gave him his citation! This was a physical response to disrespect, ridiculousintimidation and you shouldn’t be ok with it.

Sov Cits don’t have documentation and refuse to comply with lawful orders. This gentleman gave the police his documentation and they got mad he wasn’t bending over and spreading his asshole.

It’s funny cause this situation is so crazy with how the cops escalated this situation when it wasn’t warranted, you actually have to compare them to someone doing an actual crime!

Like that’s how crazy this debate even is. Rich dude in super car being an asshole vs a person who is willfully driving with fake paperwork hoping a cop pulls them over.

Hill just looked like a rich asshole in a hurry and I can’t imagine anyone advocating that the police action was OK.

I really can’t imagine thinking that no matter how disrespectful someone was during a traffic violation, that escalating to pulling someone out of the car and putting them in handcuffs is ok.

Office was never in any danger, he was actually surrounded by other officers. You should be able to disrespect an officer and that should not escalate being physically handled like that.

The expectation for a criminal in a criminal act is to have as much force as needed applied to them to get them to comply. The expectation of an asshole at a traffic stop should be to get his big ticket and keep moving.

If you don’t want to be called a boot licker, stop licking boots!

I dunno, I’m way less terrified of the guy with a 40k watch in a 150k car than I would be in any other situation. Unless I was super jealous that this black dude was rich, and he didn’t show immediate respect to me. Then I might pull him out of his car despite having everything I need to write the citation and being in 0 danger literally surrounded by other officers.

“show me to the non-verbal panel control, okaaaaii”

“I did my most mediocre interpretation” isn’t as funny.

“I did my best to justify my reason for finding this arrogant, it required using 20 year old, Spanish-language reference material and is so esoteric I’m forced to call it unique”

You are my kind of pedant, brother!

It’s so crazy, I’m telling you, your story could be my story, word for word. After I got medicated, my wife told me the drugs didn’t change me (something I was fucking terrified of), the anxiety was changing me. The meds gave me the room and the energy to be me again.

I’m sorry dude, I know how this feels. No drastic decisions, panic is a monster. Do your best to white knuckle it until your doc appt, they might refer you to a medical psych. Listen to them! Take the meds, they will likely take a couple weeks to kick in, but the odds are high you are dealing with a problem that has progressed to a chemical imbalance.

You can’t out think a chemical imbalance, you can’t yoga it, work it out, even therapy is of limited usefulness. But once you address it, you will be amazed at how much of your life you weren’t living because of the anxiety.

You have a level of love and support (financial and otherwise) that a lot of people would kill for. You may think you appreciate it now, but wait until you get some distance from the anxiety. I’m not saying that to make you feel bad, the anxiety in your heart is taking up room. That’s room that can be replaced by love and happiness!

It’s so hard to see that from inside the fog of panic and anxiety. You are smart (look at the life you’ve accomplished despite the anxiety), you are capable, you seem to have a strong relationship.

All the energy you have to dedicate to making it through life now, you can get that time back! Keep working through it! You aren’t alone personally, and you aren’t alone in your struggle.

Your story sounds so familiar to me! Terrible anxiety and ADHD which cause me to procrastinate, avoid, constantly cancel the day of, all that stuff. School was a nightmare, work was easier, but eventually I hit a wall. I performed well for years, a decade into working at a company the wall appeared.

I really hated myself for it. Not just the wall, my entire life. Like… I really hated myself, I can’t describe up you how much I hated me, hated my behavior, hated my inability to get things done.

Get medicated for the anxiety, then deal with the rest. The amount of relief I had when I started, I wish I could describe it to you, but the best way is the most derivative, it was like a weight was lifted. I had more gas in the tank. I could deal with the underlying issues that were giving me so much trouble.

I was scared of the meds (I didn’t get on a single one until my mid 30’s), my psych told me that’s very common with people with anxiety, anxious about everything including medication. Now I’m medicated for ADHD and anxiety and my life is the best it’s ever been.

Lol you think I’m white.

Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you can’t be racist cause of your white friends.

Uh hu, are the white supremacists who came up with the verbiage you don’t like in the room right now?

Yeah chattel slavery was super bad, maybe uniquely bad, that really doesn’t say anything about all slavery, which is also bad, no real reason to split hairs expect you specifically don’t want to be associated with white people, I guess. I would call that racism honestly. Would you call that Asian supremacy?

“OUR SLAVERY ISN’T AS BAD, AS THOSE YUCKY WHITES!”

I don’t know that Muslims are white tho… So that’s not very careful about language.
