There are no downsides I’ve encountered.

No gore, but people clearly and obviously die in this video:

Probably accidental (in the sense that the shot was aiming for tank and missed slightly), but damn…I would not want to be a Russian tanker now. Or, well, ever. But especially now.

Heh:
One Way
Something I’ve noticed about eating clean and working out consistently.
Yeah, it’s really goddamn bizarre that so many people feel that me (or anyone) being fit and buff is a commentary on them in any way. Like, if I wanted to provide some thoughts on their condition I’d just go ahead and call them fat and weak. I certainly would not spend more than three years working out hard six days a week so I can just shame them by existing. That’s fucking ludicrous. I do not care if they are fat, nor do I care about their opinions on my own body or achievements.
Most people want everyone to wallow in their loserdom right along with them. And I refuse to do it, and also refuse to pretend that I am harming people by achieving those things I want to achieve.
Really About
It is very strange that the response of modern prudes in supposed “protection from harm” is to restrict the agency and freedom of those being “harmed,” rather than to the curtail the activities of those doing the harm.
That tells you what it’s really about, right there (competition and prudery).
Essays
Funniest thing for every decade
1960s: Wanting to kill your spouse
1970s: Someone having a foreign accent
1980s: A man who doesn't have sex
1990s: Advertisement changed to be like it's brainwashing you
2000s: A puppet that says "fuck"
2010s: Saying "so, that just happened"— extortin, snortin, supportin Corbyn (@fireh9lly) May 1, 2022
That’s…actually really insightful. Essays could be written about those tropes.

People who buy houses now are gonna be totally fucked in 1-3 years. When this bubble pops, it’ll be epic. (Assuming Putin doesn’t nuke us.)

unfollowed someone for liking a fatphobic tweet from a known asshole, guess there's one benefit to that irritating twitter feature

Fatphobic == pointing out it is possible not to weigh 400 pounds. Or that weighing 400 pounds is not healthy.

Darwin Was Wrong: Your Facial Expressions Do Not Reveal Your Emotions.
Bad headline. What was actually found is that facial expressions do not reveal emotions contextlessly, completely reliably, or with great precision. Context and environment is key here. Of course facial expressions reveal something or we wouldn’t need actors or care how someone reacts to anything.
A lot of science and the interpretation thereof is very, very poor. Part of the issue is that a lot of science is done by barely-functional autists who can hardly talk to any other humans. This leads to a lot of oddball and anti-human results.
