  • Still wild people put whatever time to make these doodles instead of just finding out more about the boat than a billionaire told them…

    Makes me think they never understoodany of the complaints people have been making for 30+ years about the Dem party. They just saw people shit on neoliberals and joined in, so now they don’t even understand the neoliberals are out of power at the DNC.





  • They just don’t want the headlines scaring off workers, they’re fine with the human rights violations…

    Shits still going wrong out there:

    Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.

    One protester was injured shortly after sunrise as several federal law enforcement vehicles, including one marked Border Patrol, passed through the crowd stopping traffic onto the island. “Once we start, we won’t stop,” one agent told the protesters blocking his vehicle.

    During the fracas, federal agents deployed apparent flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowd and fired a pepper round that struck a clergyman near the chin. The impact caked his face and clothing in orange powder.

    The clergyman, Jorge Bautista, said an agent shot him in the face with the projectile from about 5 feet away.

    “I’m in a lot of pain,” Bautista texted the Chronicle from an emergency room in Oakland. “He clearly was aiming for the face.”

  • Nah, you’d ideally want 150-200, but 100 (20something and younger) would be fine assuming a random sample from all over.

    The danger is the reinforcement of negative recessive genes. So if you just grab 100 from one area, there may already be common dangerous recessives that would become an issue in a few generations.

    But grab a random sample of the billions of humans worldwide, you’d have the same number of “dangerous” recessives, just different ones. That would take a long time to spread within the new population.

    It’s not like similar DNA is bad, it’s just compounding of recessive genes when there’s no natural selection. Which is why all the big examples of inbreeding is medieval royalty. They didn’t need to be physically/mentally capable of surviving, because they had inherited wealth.




  • This is what “alpha male” humans don’t understand:

    According to primatologists monitoring this community, a couple of days earlier, Hugo had acted aggressively toward the infant of the youngest attacker, Bella (15 years old). Infanticide is a common male strategy in many species to ensure reproductive success: a male fathers offspring once the female is no longer caring for the children she had with others.

    “Bonobo females, however, have managed to reverse this trend, which chimpanzees do, thanks to an unusual cooperation between them,” explains Pashchevskaya, “and they even attack males who misbehave with their young.” “Extreme violence would be better explained as a response to the extreme threat: infanticide,” summarizes the lead author of the case now detailed in Current Biology.

    One “alpha male” may be stronger than any female, but almost no one is stronger than 5+ individuals working together.

    They all dream of being able to impose their will on women, and never think about how that’ll end up. Which is with a group of individuals banding together against the “alpha male”, biting his testicles off, and then engaging in “genital to genital rubbing” on top of his unconscious soon to be corpse.

    Every society is built on the threat of violence if you don’t follow social norms. There’s no inherently peaceful primate society, just some that don’t need to routinely follow thru to enforce their social norms.


  • Panic attacks are just an adrenal response you don’t want or isn’t really needed…

    Proponal blocks adrenaline. But stays in your system like 36-48 hours. So your doc likely already talked to you about how you need to take it as directed and let it build up.

    You’ll know proponal is working, by doing something that normally gets your adrenaline up, and realizing while you’re still enjoying it, it’s a calm enjoyment and you’re not all hyped up from adrenaline.

    They would have started you on a very low dose, and it’s 100% normal to need to bump it up. Even if it works at first, you’ll probably need to bump it up as your body gets used to it. Everyone’s different, but think of it like 1mg blocks X% of your adrenal system, so dialing in your dose is just finding out how much to block to stop an adrenal response from crossing the threshold to a panic attack.

    But there’s very few side effects, and long term it’s good for your heart.

    Obviously you should be asking your doc, but this is America and doctors are expensive.

    Edit:

    If it’s just “as required” it’ll kick in within like 5-15 minutes, if you start freaking out, pop one.

    And it’ll stop it because it literally stops (some, depending on dose) adrenaline from working in your brain




  • If your house is burning down, your kids and dog are trapped inside…

    You barely make it out alive, but you know your family is in there…

    Firefighters show up, a wave of relief washes over…

    Then they sit down and pray to Jesus that someone comes to put out the fire.

    If you got upset the people paid to put out fires aren’t using the equipment or putting any real effort into saving your family who are actively burning to death, and you yell at the firefighters:

    Why won’t you fucking do anything?

    How would you react to someone telling you the firefighters are doing all they can?
