I don’t think it should be controversial to say that you vote for Nazis and you are a Nazi.

So then our policy can simply be, “Nazis sleep alone.”

In all seriousness, you can phone bank.

It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.

I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.

Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.

There’s always a chance, it’s just very small. These corrupt justices are the end game for the republican party, the odds of any of them breaking ranks to convict is very low.

That said, it’s almost certainly not about conviction, so much as upholding the rule of law and creating political pressure and support for something like packing the court.

I really like this one.

That’s neuroplasticity, which is true.

Okay, source it if you’ve got it, because the idea that a single study ran out of funding at 25 and that’s where the number comes from is such an odd suggestion, as though no one else has studied the brain’s development and neuroscientists everywhere just shrugged and thought, “if only the funding were there.”

Here’s a well-sourced article that concludes the brain continues to develop well into the mid-20’s.

While the brain will always continue to develop and grow, due to neuroplasticity, the concern is whether or not the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for long-term decision making, is properly developed. This development continues into the mid-20’s and is well-documented.

Here’s a 2022 study where they looked at over 100,000 brain scans from people 110 days old to over 100 years old used to draw and affirm similar conclusions.

While 25 isn’t magic number, as everyone’s brains develop on different timelines, it is a rational and reasonable landmark that can be reliably used for broad discussions.

Here’s more from the National Institute of Mental Health and Penn Medicine.

I’ll disagree about age. At 23, the pre-frontal cortex is still developing and won’t be finished until around 25.

It’s responsible for:

• Executive functions (planning, decision-making, problem-solving)
• Impulse control
• Emotional regulation
• Social interactions and behavior

There is a distinct imbalance between someone in their 60’s and someone in their early 20’s. I’m not saying it can’t be carefully and respectfully navigated, but it has to be acknowledged and accounted for.

It doesn’t sound like that happened here.

Then we have the power dynamic of a celebrity who is also your employer. Add in a healthy dose of fictive kinship due to the live-in nature of a nanny and you’re in a situation rife with the potential for abuse.

Sleeping with the nanny less than half your age isn’t a great start for a discussion of power dynamics in a sexual relationship.

I’m not going to assume anything either way, bo the women deserve to be heard, at the very least.

Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, “lol, snitches get stitches.”

That said, I couldn’t find anything about the informants actually being executed.

VR is neat, but it’s mostly been a solution in search of a problem.

Never even heard of it, but it goes on the list!

What’s that mean?

Well I wonder what could be the Gaza that.

I, for one, am eager to ride the next civilization wave. They’ve only gotten better and better.

Funner fact, they won’t let women be lead pastors for men, but they will allow women to be missionaries to other men around the world.

Basically a woman can’t be a pastor to white Christian men, but those other men out there? That’s fine.

Racism is thoroughly baked into their theology and worldview.

You underestimate the effect of feeling like you’re a part of a movement. When you sit in that room, you’re a winner.

Yeah, I think the latter component is what makes this request ludicrous. Everything in Texas is so spread out. It is not a place you can reasonably get around without a car. Mass transit exists, but it’s pretty inefficient in most the cities.

Not something I ever expected to see, but what a visually arresting shot.
