  1. As she confessed to the murder of her three kids, it's just a question if she goes to jail or the psychward. There's a strong argument to be made that she's basically insane but also mishandled as mental patient (IE. her carers are responsible for the incident is the argument they want to make). That said, I don't think being able to plead insanity should relieve one of culpability. It feels like a loophole to get away with murder, and it does get used like that broadly speaking. I also think that because she's a women she gets treated with kid's gloves, as if women aren't capable of responsibility. It's weirdly sexist and infantalizing. Like, they want to make the case that it was largely the fault if bad psychiatry and that she's basically not culpable. Idk man. A man in the same court room would have a much harder time garnering sympathy. Sorry for going there.
  2. Are they treating you poorly or are you being insecure in a way where you are emotionally aroused even when others have no real intent? Fun fact: most breakups happen not because the other person actually did something but because one made the other feel insecure.
  3. Being mostly known for shit roles, butchering Joker, etc. is definitely not helping his case in the court of public opinion even though it's not really relevant at all. Michael Jackson would've easily shrugged off these accusations, if that was just the extent of it. If he only morbed harder.
  4. Power fantasy I guess. She's like hot and shit and does stuff and has a buff rich bf or whatever. Everyone is looking at you erotically. Didn't know women obsessed over that though. I found it kinda corny and clawing for attention myself. Leave that poor tower alone.
  5. You can just go ham, especially if your really fat. Like a 800-1000+ kcal deficit. But that's closer to a crash diet. The issue is establishing better new habits.
  6. It's in their blood. Damn rats. They got the rat gene.
  7. No one. It's silly to even think in those terms. We're just a collection of different entities bouncing off each other. It can look like someone orchestrating everything since the world is in relative order right now, but that has only been the case for the last 100 years or so, and only because of general military stalemate between countries and increasing interdependence. The world was much more chaotic before, and arguably we are exiting into a more chaotic state again after a period of stability.
  8. When you START seeing results. There is a period where you feel like it's not doing anything. Its the point where I found myself and others noticing it. There is weight loss already occurring for a while. It's not like I stare at myself in the mirror everyday.
  9. At a rate of 200-300 kcal deficit everyday it does. You should expect it to take some time either way.
  10. You just need to be in caloric deficit for long enough to lose weight. It'll take about 3 months for results to become apparent. Counting calories is the most efficient habit for ensuring your in a deficit. Strength training will help you maintain your results long-term as increased muscle mass raise your base metabolic rate (how much you need to eat to maintain weight). Walking is the best overall exercise for burning calories, helping you ensure you maintain deficit throughout the day. In essence, you can eat whatever you want as long as you budget for it. In practice, you will have to eat more whole and lean foods and eat processed foods more sparingly, or you end up going to bed starving with your budget blown out. Like, a bag of chips can easily reach 800+ kcal, which is close to at least 1/4 your budget. And your not going to be full on a bag of chips. And this is before considering macro/micro nutrients, depending on how much you care. I managed to maintain deficit during a period where I could eat almost only Burger King and shit. It's possible to eat junk and lose weight. You just have to be very disciplined about it. When I got my diet dialed in I could reach satiation for most of my day on about 1600-2200 kcal, give or take, which left me with 700-1000 kcal to spare. Sometimes I could go to bed with about 400-500 kcal below budget and little desire for food (which is actually closer to 700 kcal as my budget was set to about 200 kcal below calculated bmr). There will be a period of adjustment where your body has to get used to eating less overall. which includes readjusting when you feel hungry.
  11. It is interesting to think that Alien ships could be closer to biblical angels abstract shapes in appearance. Usually when we depict aliens they have ships that look like fish or cutlery and the aliens themselves tend to be just humans with attitude. Maybe it's just too alien to imagine.
  12. Banning guns is a impossible, so it's a non-starter. But restrictions are sensible and something that the state already does. You can't openly buy fully automatic guns, machine guns, rocket launchers, etc. without at least hefty paper work and taxes, and only if you live in the right states. And then it's not like you can open carry a machine gun. It's obviously really dangerous if random people can just buy and own grenade launchers and heavy artillery. Imagine a school shooter with a 200 round beltfed machine gun. The US already restricts gun ownership to a certain degree. The gun debate is just a question of to what degree. Gun culture makes that question effectively untenable.
  13. This is just a sliding scale error. Restricting guns doesn't make you suddenly 1984, but loose restrictions does lead to gun violence. America is the only country in the world that has rampant school shootings, which is insane for a first world country. No other first world country has as much gun violence. It's a cultural issue because Americans identify with their guns. It's not really about security. Arguably the prevalence of guns actually make the country less secure, as well as other countries if you consider the amount of American market guns moved and sold to SA gangs. Just consider how controversial the talking point is. When New Zealand basically abolished guns after a nasty school shooting and had massive buy back programs there was wide public support of it. And there hasn't been much gun violence ever since in NZ.
