The squeeze is finally hitting the US economy, or at least the corporate-consumer part of it. These greedy companies have been squeezing Americans for all they can since COVID and it seems like it's finally coming to a head.
McDonald's just posted losses. Across the fast food industry, value menus are making a roaring comeback.
I received a promotion from Discover a month-ish ago for a 2% interest rate to try to convince me to spend more. I just got an email from Synchrony (a card I took out 3 years ago to buy my PRS, paid off with my bonus 1 month later, then never used again) begging me to spend some money with some promotional financing. I now have 3 credit cards with 0-2% interest rates and I'm still keeping my wallet tight.
I just love the idea of these companies squirming as their profits sink.

Him and his only beef diet can fuck off. He just seems like a miserable cunt but I guess he does have some mental health issues, or so I've heard.
So what you're saying is Peterson needs an HBI to get through the day?the beef diet is actually a metaphor, he is constantly seeking to fill the void in his empty soul with the massive beef that his nonsense causes between otherwise kind and rational human beings, like some kind of perverse beef-wraith. that's right I said it jordan petersen is a beef-wraith.
Exactly. When I first started seeing clips of Jordan on YouTube it seemed like he had some interesting things to say. It went downhill pretty fast unfortunately.Yea, coming right off the podcast it occurred to me that there's plenty of positive things in his core message, and yet, it seems very cuntish to dismiss the whole idea of being a force for good in the world when you get bogged down in arguments about calling people by their preferred pronouns, and when all the guys that show up to his talks are suit-wearing incel twats.
I think Joe Rogan eating only elk for a month or whatever is pretty dumb but at the same time, he didn't seem like a miserable cunt during that time.Oh fuck, I bet he and Joe were just edging to that conversation topic and how excited Joe would be to talk about hunting and eating elk for the next 45 minutes.
If I feel bad for anyone, it's Jordan's toilet when he eventually does go to the bathroom.the beef diet is actually a metaphor, he is constantly seeking to fill the void in his empty soul with the massive beef that his nonsense causes between otherwise kind and rational human beings, like some kind of perverse beef-wraith. that's right I said it jordan petersen is a beef-wraith.
Prestige Fever is such a weird illness to have because instead of staying home from work, I really gotta go to work now even though I tested RG Positive.
It was very clearly just a joke, but if you want to take it seriously -1. Almost nobody has Crowdstrike on their personal computer - it's a corporate solution (and it is unwise to use a work laptop for personal stuff for a ton of reasons)
2. If we take "Crowdstriked" as a new term for having an overnight software updates screw your pooch, then turning off your computer overnight will only ensure you get "struck" during the day.
I always find it so convenient that recreational drugs are the source of all that is good and the cure for all that is bad - according to recreational drug enthusiasts. It's that one-two punch of being unfalsifiable but still plausible-sounding wish fulfillment that I just can't take seriously.I do think psilocybin has potential for the treatment of PTSD, depression, etc when measured appropriately and I think it's worth looking into. I've never done it, but I support the research and testing. Do I think it caused human evolution? No idea but I wouldn't bet the house on it...
The body of evidence for Ketamine for PTSD and MDD is pretty good already tbh. There are plenty of legit studies corroborating its effects on patients with those issues. Psilocybin has also been shown to be effective, but the evidence isn't as strong.I always find it so convenient that recreational drugs are the source of all that is good and the cure for all that is bad - according to recreational drug enthusiasts.

Marijuana is a pretty standard prescription for patients undergoing cancer treatment, end of life patients, etc., and I’ve seen reports that micro-dosing psilocybin, in conjunction with a therapist providing guidance/therapy, has a significant benefit for PTSD and some other psychological issues that it is worth further investigation. And this from a non-recreational drug user.I always find it so convenient that recreational drugs are the source of all that is good and the cure for all that is bad - according to recreational drug enthusiasts.

Meh...It was very clearly just a joke, but if you want to take it seriously -
Ime, a lot of that comes from people that do zero research and are only looking to justify their habits.I always find it so convenient that recreational drugs are the source of all that is good and the cure for all that is bad - according to recreational drug enthusiasts.

Here in the UK, Dr Michael Moseley presented a BBC documentary on research being done at UCL Hospital, London, into the efficacy of psylocibin in treating depression and related mental illnesses. In the programme, he takes part in the trial.Agree to disagree on my end. Some of the top medical schools think there is merit in psychedelics research for the use of mental health treatment. Johns Hopkins has a lot of stuff going on in psychiatry and behavioral sciences. I repeat- I've never used psychedelics. But I think to dismiss them is asinine compared to the other garbage big pharma is pumping out.
