  • I don't know about Goldilocks. More like "there are risks but we can probably handle it with proper policy".

  • Poll finds John Cornyn and Kenneth Paxton in dead heat in Texas’ Senate Republican primary

  • Cornyn is so old... 73 in 2025. How is he considering running for another 6 year senate term?

  • Similar experience for me! I joined the co-ed service "fraternity" Alpha Phi Omega... they coordinated many different volunteering efforts and projects; but also had some social events for the members. Great way to meet kind-hearted people!

  • The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now)

  • The question is when, not if. But it's an expensive question to guess the "when" wrong. I believe the famous idiom is: the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

    Best of luck!

  • Mid 40s. I feel older than I used to; but can still do everything I love so I'd not consider myself "old".

  • Name a group, band, artist, or track you're really into right now

    Jump

  • British band "Jungle" has been in heavy rotation for me the past ~6 months. Specifically watch their music videos and the dance choreography. I suggest playing the entire album "Volcano" as one video.

  • Because somehow trump wrecking the economy isn't scoffing the working class? This argument starts disjointed from reality then presents a false dichotomy. trump's administration & policies are a dumpster fire! How is opposing this a dilemma in any meaningful way?

  • I'm a straight guy who wants to be cute, not handsome. Can I still be attractive despite choosing to be unmanly?

    Jump

  • I don’t care about being “sexually desirable” to as many women as possible; I only care about being desirable to enough people that finding someone to start a relationship with is a practical possibility. This post is about my lack of understanding of how sexual attraction fundamentally works. I’m essentially asking if sexual attraction is highly polarized—targeting either strong masculine or strong feminine presentations—with minimal reaction to more androgynous presentations.

    Added emphasis, as it kind of answers your own question. Being sexy to someone isn't universal. There's certainly things more women tend to find sexy; but it's not an absolute by any means. Think of all the happily married people you have met (assuming you live in a fairly large community). Or even consider all of those in long-term relationships. Not every man in every relationship is super fit and sexy, right? Nor were all the men such when they first met their partner. It is not a requirement! And if you know enough such couples you'll realize appearances of the men in them run the gambit from hot-bod to dad-bod and beyond. And if fact most people in happy relationships are far from the media archetype of "sexy male" as you allude to in your original post.

    Not every woman is a lingerie supermodel; not every man is a bodybuilder or Hollywood heartthrob. Yet so many people are able to find relationships where they each find each other sexually desirable. Just randomly scroll through strangers (real poeple) on a social media of your choice and you'll see happy couples with all variety of body types and appearances.

  • US could default on debt as soon as July

    Jump

  • Adding further onto your point emphasizing why this will be severe: Borrowing will become more expensive, and we can't just stop spending to stop borrowing. Much of the current debt is in short term positions that regularly get re-issued. The cost of issuing new short term debts just to replace the current ones coming due will increase even if spending stays the same (or decreases).

    And of course, there's a huge impact to the dollar's value internationally if major financial markets shift away from holding US debt. You know the trade deficit Republicans like to rage about .... Yeah, it'll get a lot worse when fewer people want to hold US dollars for the purpose of investing in US bonds.

  • The party who's caused a recession every presidential term they've held power in my lifetime... Might cause a recession this time too!?!?

  • How worried should US people be about "tariffs"? Should I invest in upgrading my equipment ASAP?

    Jump

  • Given he put tariffs in place his prior term, good chance he actually does it again.

    Things that can be done via executive order are highly likely ... Because one of his staff will draft it and he'll sign based on what they tell him it's about.

    Some lackey: "this is that tariff thing".

  • Also use a towel or cloth on top of the rubber band so it's gentler on your hand / skin.

    Why it works: this fixes the problem of poor friction; metal doesn't grip well against skin (especially if your hand is wet or oily). The rubber band grips well against the metal of the lid and your skin (or towel).
