  • Originally rednecks were the hillbillies that wore red neckerchiefs at the battle of Blair mountain. They fought against Pinkertons who were hired by the coal mines to break up the rednecks who had taken over the company property.

    That may have changed since the blue collar comedy tour, but originally rednecks were the works seizing the means of production.

    Why is this a both sides thing? Circumcision is a Jewish rite that became a larger thing because of a couple mentions in the Christian New Testament. It also has some medical application for individuals with certain conditions.

    Doing it to all male babies doesn’t make rational sense unless you are a specific type of religious.

    I’m more of the opinion that it should be a height/ weight thing. Or a performance based analysis e.g. you could make sprinter tiers for people within a few seconds of each other based on personal averages. I mean this sort of system already exists for making leagues and tiers right now, we just also split by sex.


  • “May be” is the point.

    From the Forbes article you cite:

    “KEY QUOTE

    ‘It’s important to emphasize that these findings are observational, and they provide insights into patterns within our dataset. However, they do not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship,’ lead author Dr. Anees Bahji, at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, told Forbes.”

    Drinking anything other than water, breathing anything other than air, and eating just about anything have been shown in some study somewhere to be harmful in someway.



  • Because I don’t want to pay $20 and spend 2 and a half hours to decide whether I wanted to spend $20 and two and a half hours on that thing.

    Reviews exist to help people decide. Of course they won’t be exactly my opinion, but they can tell me whether the experience will be worth my time and money. Or at least if the movie contains stuff that I definitely wouldn’t want to see.

    A “meth whore” is a prostitute who accepts meth as payment for sex. I am not assessing the John’s perception of the prostitution’s attractiveness, but the prostitutes perception of their own attractiveness as per the rest of the post. The prostitution by necessity must believe that they possess some quality that is worth buying. Surely a willingness to have sex with whomever is willing to pay is part of that, but attractiveness is one of the core components of sexual desirability. I find it hard to believe that meth whores do not believe that they are perceived as attractive.
