No one would marry Miller who wasn’t at least 80% the asshole he is. And, he’s 10000x more asshole than an average asshole.

I can’t do the math but it should be obvious she’s just a massive asshole.

Streamed pirated games and ignored the lawsuit. Made stupid threats “I own the streets”.

Not feeling sorry for this guy.

Microsoft sent a cease and desist, right? Right?

Conservatives have a thing for “early access,” though.

They only have problems in Washington DC and, probably, other left-leaning cities. This isn’t a problem for conservatives everywhere.

Hell, I bet someone starts a service to match the DC conservatives with people from Texas or Florida. Mail order dates within the USA.

I would have, too, but would have said something more absurd. Like, go off about how the NYC economy is going to be ruined by aliens and at the end talk about putting them back in their spaceships and shooting them into the sun. Start plausible then go bat shit crazy. See how much they print.

Would be funny if they were Canadian.

You don’t mention the most important part of the above comment: asking her how she feels to have something stolen and asking how she thinks someone who’s had something stolen feels.

That’s different than telling her how someone would feel. The point is to develop empathy. At her age she should be capable of theory of mind. You want to focus on developing the skill of modeling others’ feelings in response to her own actions.

Get her to think about how someone else feels rather than tell her. This shouldn’t be just an exercise for hurtful actions, either. It’s equally important for good feelings. “You gave me a hug! That made me feel so good inside!” “Look at that puppy. I wonder if he’s happy?”

“I wonder” is a powerful way to unlock someone’s brain to expand their consciousness about the world around them. It gently invites them to follow the path you’re trying to lead them on and it shows you how they are seeing the world. People naturally like to have the answer especially when someone else displays some ignorance.

(“I wonder” works on everyone, not just kids. It’s especially helpful with people with dementia.)

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to avoid your MIL. I also think it’s reasonable for your wife to maintain the relationship.

Can you use her visit as excuse to take a vacation—alone or with friends—or visit your family? Given the circumstances, I think avoidance is a perfectly valid option. Get some you time if your wife is cool with it.

Someone got their name purged from the Epstein papers, it seems.

They’re disputing false claims? So they’re saying there are true claims of massive data breach?

Think about how many times in human history a person in a particular place and time could look around and come to the same conclusion.

Shit waxes and shit wanes. So it goes.

Even this shit is a blip in the grand scheme of things.

Establishment Dems will go after anyone seemingly progressive.

At the same time, this guy has all the makings of a Fetterman about him.

I still think he’s the better choice but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Waiting for a toilet seat to be delivered is really more efficient than getting one in the mean time while you’re already away from home in your car? Or out to dinner near the home store?

Only IF you drive and it’s the only thing you go shopping for and the only reason to drive.

If you really can’t plan your shopping trips efficiently then, maybe.

Walk. Bike. Stop on the way home from work.

I can understand Amazon or other online stores for some things but toilet seats?

Come on people. At a physical store you can actually touch a toilet seat and know what it feels like. I guarantee no one needs a particular brand of toilet seat. Also, toilets seats are relatively dense. It’s environmentally unfriendly to have them shipped home.

This applies to many products.

They made it illegal for them to strike under Reagan. Their strikes were way too effective for the powers that be. So, now, they call in sick until it hurts.

That impotent little maggot having another tantrum? 🥱

FYI, most Mullvad exit nodes are blocked by big services.

You have to try different ones to find one that works. I have found just a couple that work for, for example, Netflix or Reddit.

Proton and PIA seemed to be easier, I think they have more exits and/or rotate the IP addresses of the exits.

I like Mullvad as a company better so I use them.

Odds on Trump appointing her to the DoJ?

And, my point is that calling this research pointless is just wrong because it answers à different question.

I’m not disagreeing that the question that you want answered should be studied. It should. But, the fact that this research doesn’t answer your question doesn’t make it pointless.

It’s perfectly valid research to study whether the results are different between animal-based and plant-based supplements. I didn’t go through the citations but they say:

Recent evidence suggests that both animal and plant proteins support strength and hypertrophy gains when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake

which sounds like the research you’re asking for has already been done.
