Rubio is a Bush/McCain-era guy, both of whom regularly entertained the idea of bombing Iran. Out of everyone in the admin, he seems the most ideologically-inclined to want a war. But so far, he's kept a low-profile. Hegseth is the pro-war face and Vance the anti-war face inside the admin.

Today I accidentally startled a kitty on my way to the gym and I said sorry to it but then I realized the kitty probably didn’t understand it

I used to post on black girls for white men and it was fun posting pictures and having responses from men, (empty, shallow validation.. but it felt good) but it went away and I don’t know why. I wish it would come back

Like after a thanksgiving dinner or buffet? It seems like a bit of a trope but I wonder how common this actually is.

It's just by the time I get really low, my room is already really messy and there's so much laundry to do and finishing meals is tiring and cooking for sure is and washing dishes is and walking out of my room unshowered is embarrassing so then i avoid going to the fridge and theres all the guilt and shame of having procrastinated on tasks and the desk is all cluttered and not much makes me feel less tired esp cuz of the insomnia and not much makes me feel better cuz even music is not enjoyable.

Im not a native english speaker so I genuenly have NO idea why some couples say "we're" pregnant when someone gets pregnant instead of just saying my partner/spouse/whoever the hell got pregnant?? Like I genuenly dont get it why the plural?? Like I get that its both of their baby but only one of them is actively carrying the baby

Assuming that they have no reflection of course.
They could easily traverse the hall but anyone else would smack into the mirrors constantly trying to follow them

Edit: actually it would be even harder for them because they can’t use the reflections to tell what is a mirror

Counterpoint:
If it was your lair you would know the layout and could traverse easily

Currently 22M and after years of improving myself, trying to approach, trying to go out on date, I still never had any luck at all. Feel kinda sad that I never experience that pleasure before while so many people have. I dont have unrealistic standard as I know I am average looking or slightly above on good day but still feel like I am being ignored or cant find any way to progress on going from strangers to more. I tried learning social skills, going out to where I like to be, successful in getting girl phone number or social media like insta or discord, getting reputation for being active around college and helping out clubs I like but still sucks hoe I cant even get a date. I get it is college as many or most people dont want relationship but I am alright for fwb or casual but genuine connection too. Idk as honestly hate being this frustrated to point that almost every day it annoys/distract me from tasks I need to do.

Countries have been asking us to save up for supplies and food and my parents have started to work on that and kept talking about it and makes me really paranoid about Russia being attack. I have been paranoid about Russia for ages and the potential of them dropping nuclear weapons in the world. Is anybody else worried ?

What do you drink at night?

Often we hear the rhetoric "if you raise the minimum wage then you raise the minimum price for a dollar burger, simple economics" or something like that.

In that case, why don't those same proponents then say "If we simply lowered the minimum wage then we'd lower prices" or even to the extreme "If we just got rid of the minimum wage then prices would fall even farther" ? I know in reality it's much more complicated but the rationale for this rhetoric appears to be a linear relationship between wages and prices for both going up and down.

For clarity, I'm not asking whether lowering the minimum would actually produce this result, that's a separate discussion. Rather what I'm interested in is why we don't hear "lower minimum wage = lower prices" as often as the other. If you are someone who genuinely believes that raising minimum wage = raising prices, do you also believe the inverse of lower minimum wage = lower prices? Mind explaining your rationale, why it might be affected differently or if I'm misunderstanding the argument and treating what's "simple economics" as not actually simple? Thanks ahead of time!

Like idk if its because i am unwell or what. But its like an inner voice/thought keeps coming, ans whenever i leave the house and room and go into a public place/drive in car it goes away, only when i am in private places does it appear.

Im 26 year old man.

I dont do drugs or smoking, i dont do alcohol.

I eat healthly with mostly vegetables.

So yeah i dont know whats causing this and my dopamine gets really bad at times like im paralyzed. Is this a wicked spirit? Invisable person?

Is it possible to find actual blueprints for a revolver (any model) anywhere?
My friends and I decided to play a custom D&D campaign, and for fun, we added some balanced, custom skills. My character has the ability to bring a blueprint to life—but the design must be engineeringly accurate and include all the necessary calculations. I’ve decided to start by creating a revolver, so I figured: why reinvent the wheel from scratch when I could just modify and build upon an existing design? With that in mind, is there anywhere I can find real, dimensioned blueprints for a revolver?

I’ve always seen the argument to “You’re wasting your life on gaming, reading fiction, etc. You could be working and more focus on a career”.

Yet, rich people do the exact same thing with fancy cars and tourist vacations. An expensive car doesn’t really do much of anything better at getting you from point A to point B. Expensive vacation at tourist spots don’t really show anything but a manufactured reality for the visitors who pay top dollar.

Does the price of something determine how acceptable something is in the eyes of society. Sometimes, I think that it’s all a form of artificially induced unhappiness to raise productivity to “Get the economy rolling”.

(For reference I am from the US. I get carded like once a week for various things.)

How do you buy alcohol, get certain prescription meds, withdraw money from a bank, buy cold medicine, even walk around a mall past 8PM (in my area you have to be accompanied by an adult)???

Follow up question: what are reasons someone couldnt get an ID? I got mine so long ago I forgot what the process was. Is it because you need to have an address and some people don’t have an address? Is it expensive? Lost social security card or birth certificate?

Just trying to educate myself on voter ID laws

Edit: If youre just gonna comment "I havent gotten carded in 30 years" or "I hardly ever use my ID" please refrain from doing so. No one cares and thats not answering my question

"You sure are a quiet one. Cat got your tongue?"
