AOTW

I’d like to single out a deserving person as usual. In an unusual turn of events, I’d like to thank George Clooney for becoming a French citizen and denouncing his US citizenship. The country got better that day.

Except for Minnesota. The corruption started with Tampon Tim, and marrying your brother Ilhan Omar, to the rest of the people on the take. Even the TSA said they saw suitcases of cash leaving the country, yet no one said anything. Somewhere between 9 and 18 billion was stolen from Medicaid and Medicare, so from people who needed it. It’s now in Somalia instead of the taxpayers’ wallets. People got paid off to look the other way, so them too.

Who are the politicians enabling and funding the Somali pirates?

So, woodnya know that it’s a state instead of a person to start out the year.

Minnesota is the asshole of the week. I’m sure Denny would approve.

12 Reasons to Celebrate Introverts on World Introvert Day (Jan. 2)

Why We Should Celebrate Introverts By Jenn Granneman

1. Introverts really know their stuff.

I have an introverted friend who is basically a walking encyclopedia of Celtic myth. For example, if you ask him about the hero Cú Chulainn, he can not only tell you how he died, but also what kind of chariot he drove around in. Listening to him talk, I’ve found myself thinking, “Wow, he really knows his stuff!”

That’s because many introverts love learning and adding to their vast stores of specialized knowledge. It’s no surprise they often become experts in their field.

2. Introverts are problem-solvers and idea generators.

Introverts tend to gravitate toward working alone. Rather than chatting in the break room, we’re often the ones sitting at our desks, quietly turning ideas over and over in our minds. And there’s a big benefit to this. When you’re with other people, your brain is forced to multitask. Even if you’re not talking with someone, part of your attention is occupied just by their mere presence, research suggests.

When you’re alone, you can clear your mind and focus your thoughts. All this deep, concentrated thinking can lead to novel solutions and brilliant ideas. Working alone can even lead to more ideas. “Decades of research have consistently shown that brainstorming groups think of far fewer ideas than the same number of people who work alone and later pool their ideas,” according to psychologist Keith Sawyer.

So forget the brainstorming group. Take a cue from introverts and spend some time in solitude.

3. Give up? Not yet.

Speaking of problem-solving, introverts tend to stick with problems longer — well past when everyone else has moved on to another topic or gone home for the day. Albert Einstein, the world-renowned physicist who developed the theory of relativity, was probably an introvert. He said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

4. Introverts make better team players than extroverts over the long run.

Corinne Bendersky and her colleagues found that while extroverts make great first impressions, they may disappoint us over time when they’re part of a team. Their “value and reputation at work diminish over time,” explains Bendersky. “On a team, you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”

Ouch.

Introverts, on the other hand, may work harder on a team because they tend to be conscientious; they don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight. So, while companies may initially be attracted to extroverts, bosses should remember that introverts pack a powerful (yet understated) punch.

5. Introverts are capable of incredible depth and intimacy in their relationships.

We “quiet ones” have a penchant for quality, one-on-one time and deep conversations. Instead of talking about the weather or what you did this weekend, we want to peek into your inner world. What have you learned lately? How are your ideas evolving? How are you really? When you have an introvert in your life, you may experience emotional intimacy like never before.

6. Introverts know the power of words.

As the nickname suggests, we “quiet ones” tend to listen more than we talk and think carefully before we speak. We try to choose our words thoughtfully because we understand that once said, words can’t be retracted or easily forgotten.

7. Introverts are low maintenance.

You can leave an introvert alone for hours (or even days!), and we’ll be content to do our own thing. No need to constantly text us, check in on us, or “babysit” us.

Why? Because introverts tend to be self-starters, and many of us are drawn to working quietly and steadily on our own. In fact, you’ll probably only hear from us if we have a problem we can’t fix (and believe me, we’ve tried solving it a dozen times before coming to you). Similarly, we don’t need constant praise, gold stars, and shoutouts in the company newsletter (although sure, those things are appreciated). If we’re working hard, we’re likely drawing motivation from within.

8. Introverts can be the calm in the center of the storm.

Reserved and often self-contained, introverts are known for exuding calm — even when there’s a storm raging inside us. We’re often the ones quietly creating an action plan while everyone else is stressing over the company’s latest policy change. And in this way, our methodical approach to chaos benefits everyone.

9. Introverts “get” you.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, solitude can actually help you connect better with others. Why? Because spending time alone — which introverts love — may enhance our empathy, especially for people outside our typical social group, according to research. Being alone often involves reflecting on our actions, beliefs, and experiences, which helps us develop a deeper understanding and stronger empathy for others.

10. Introverts look before they leap.

Compared to extroverts, introverts generally prefer a slower, more deliberate pace of life, and this difference stems from the way our brains are wired. Many of us hate rushing into things; whenever possible, we take time to consider all potential outcomes before making a decision. This applies to our careers, personal lives, and relationships.

For example, one study found that extroverts may jump into a new relationship more quickly than introverts. An Katrien Sodermans and her colleagues revealed that divorced extroverts were more likely than divorced introverts to remarry quickly. While this isn’t always the case, hastily made decisions — such as committing to a new relationship before fully healing from the last one — can sometimes lead to regret later on.

11. Introverts create worlds inside their heads — and help create the world we live in.

Introverts are artists, actors, musicians, entertainers, writers, and more. Famous creative introverts include Lady Gaga (she has said, “I generally really keep to myself and I am focused on my music.”), Bob Dylan, Meryl Streep, Lorde, Audrey Hepburn, and more. David Bowie is also thought to have been an introvert; experts believe he coped with his anxiety and introverted nature by developing various stage personas. Even the “King of Rock and Roll,” Elvis Presley, was described by his friends as a “loner” and “introverted.”

There are so many famous creative introverts that it’s impossible to name them all here! Just a few more examples include Steven Spielberg, Shonda Rhimes, David Letterman, Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elton John, Emma Watson, and Tom Hanks… the list could go on.

12. Who runs the world? Introverts.

When we think of leadership, especially in the corporate world, words like “bold,” “overconfident,” and “selfish” may come to mind. But there’s a different kind of leader emerging: the quiet one. Today, about 40 percent of executives describe themselves as introverts, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates.

Gates believes that introverts can make great leaders because they know the value of being alone and focusing deeply. Speaking at an event in 2013, he said, “I think introverts can do quite well. If you’re clever you can learn to get the benefits of being an introvert, which might be, say, being willing to go off for a few days and think about a tough problem, read everything you can, push yourself very hard to think out on the edge of that area.”

Other introverted leaders include Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Jill Biden, Eleanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln — and many others — as well as many of our greatest U.S. presidents.

Yes, introverts may be the quiet ones who eat lunch alone. They may also be the ones curled up at home with a good book, avoiding the party. But introverts are so much more than that. They are artists, visionaries, and leaders who bring quiet strength and understand the power of the inner journey.

Today — and every day — they deserve to be celebrated.

So everyone celebrate together, separately, and alone. I disagree that Jill Biden and Barack Obama were leaders. They were power hungry people who shouldn’t be celebrated.

What makes you feel nostalgic?

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Songs, without a doubt. I can hear a song and go back to the room I was in and the person I was with, not to mention how I felt.

Here’s an example or two.

I hear Come Monday by Jimmy Buffet, and it’s 3:00 in the afternoon. I’m at work at the Winter Park Towers, my first job. I was mopping the floor after lunch. I was 15 at the time, and I recall the 4-top by the window overlooking Lake Berry. My Uncle lived on that lake, and I could see his house

Here’s another. I was laying the wood to a girl named Leila in her bedroom in Coral Gables, Florida, at 24 years old. She was a cologne girl who sprayed you at the escalator in the Department Store where I worked. Apparently, she had already decided she was going to do me well before I knew it, and she did.

I was always able to control busting a nut and had been going at it with her clock radio playing music. Then Layla, by Eric Clapton came on. On the downstroke, she said it was her song because it was her name. I decided I would keep going until the end of the song just because it was long. We went at it like big dogs, which was unusual as she had a special talent with her mouth that was outstanding. It starts off with a hairband for a ponytail, if you need a reference. She even performed that on me in my office one afternoon. What a good sport.

If either of those songs comes on, I go right back to that time of life.

There are a million more, but I won’t bore you with the rest of my life. Plus, everyone has their own.

New Year’s Resolution Farce

It seems that the majority start out the year with some new life changing commitment (or last year’s rehashed that didn’t get done, so they’re going to make it this year). This is going to sound a bit negative, but I’m just calling a spade a spade. I’ve been around long enough to see the pattern of how this works.

I wrote about how quickly people abandon their resolutions a while back. It tells me just how committed people really are, or are they just giving lip service to fit in with the crowd?

Well, here are 5 Of The Worst New Year’s Resolutions And Why They Are Destined To Fail.

Oh, I see them crowding the gym in January. By March and sometimes February, it’s back to normal. They get in the way, and I can look at them and know who’s going to make it or not in January. Oh, they have on their new gym suit and sneakers, but that will be in the back of the closet in weeks.

This goes along with losing weight. With GLP-1 shots and pills now, it’s easier to be the Jetsons and take a pill rather than put in the work.

I’ve got news for you. It will come back to haunt you after 50. You can’t get youth back. You have to fight off health issues your whole life. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. It’s hard work that takes tenacity.

The same goes for eating healthier. It’s hard to do. You have to make your own meal to know what is in it. I’ve noticed the trend of having food delivered from a restaurant. They make it tasty, but as unhealthy as you’d imagine. People take the path of least resistance, so they stop making their own food and start ordering pretty quickly, or go out to eat. You pay more to be less healthy.

I don’t have a lot to say about the travel. It sucks worse each year. I try not to fly anymore because the whole experience isn’t worth it. There isn’t much I have to see, either people or places that would make me want to suffer the current airline experience. They cram more people into smaller seats, making fewer arrivals/departures on time. The planes are dirty and are alarmingly less reliable.

What I will say is people get over hyped about escaping, more than they really want to go somewhere new. The introvert in me doesn’t make me want to visit anyone, but that’s me. If they are in driving distance, I’ll consider the minimal time I have to suffer seeing them.

Learning a new skill? That probably lasts shorter than going to the gym. I bet DuoLingo has a ton of new accounts next week that get abandoned shortly because it’s hard work to learn a new language.

Passion

To commit to anything, you have to have a passion for it. Otherwise, you’ll go through the motions until you’re bored. Then, it gets shelved. It’s a pattern I’ve noticed my whole life, not just with this, but at work, at home or any other activity that sounds good. I love it when they do something because everyone is doing it, possibly the worst reason anyone should try anything. Do it because you want to and you have a better chance of making it.

Maybe some will get scared into better health because of a near death experience. Even then, a lot won’t. It has to come from within. I have a brother-in-law and a son-in-law who both have life-threatening conditions. They eat and drink like there is no tomorrow.

Commitment

Pretty soon, I see the same people at the gym that I saw in November and December. They are the ones who really are going to stick with it. A New Year’s Commitment is as good as a wooden nickel. If you are there in August, I’ll believe you’ll be there in February.

The fat people I see either at Walmart or my family’s get-togethers need to put down the fork and the wine glass, not take a shot. Their health is falling apart because of the life decisions they made 30 years ago.

That means they failed 30 times on New Year’s Resolutions.

It’s why I call BS on this tradition. If you are really committed, you’ll already be doing it.

As for me, I’m not doing anything other than staying committed to being healthy and working out. I’m not getting any younger and even healthy habits won’t stave off the inevitable. I can prolong it, but I’ll be in better shape to enjoy it.

So what are your New Year’s resolutions? Let me know if you make it to the summer.

Oh and PS, please don’t get a pet. That isn’t a resolution. It’s a 10-15 year commitment to an animal’s life, not your convenience or TikTok account. If you aren’t really going to love it above yourself, just don’t do it.

Are you a good judge of character?

Are you a good judge of character?

I’m an introvert. I read body language better than most people because I’m not talking. I’m listening and observing. I’m rarely trying to impress anyone, so I’m usually sizing them up as to their intentions towards me.

I’ve had people do me favors and fuck me over. I’ve studied martial arts for years and had to anticipate my opponent’s intentions.

Working for years for both the best and the worst has taught me to read people. Here’s how I dealt with Executive Egos

Most of all, I’ve been married for decades and have kids. I’ve never been more surprised by that than anything.

So yes, I’m a good judge of character because I’m patient and won’t jump to conclusions.

Once I’ve decided who you are, though, it’s hard to move me off of that position, especially if I think you are an asshole. This includes family. I can spot a fake like a Jedi.

The hysterical remarks came during a Tuesday appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance,” where host Leland Vittert asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) whether Islamophobia or jihad posed the larger threat to American life and values, following the recent terror attack targeting Jews at Bondi Beach that killed 15 people and wounded dozens more.

“I think we have to focus, quite frankly, on, if we’re worried about the threat to American values, on the person who’s in the White House. I mean, we have a president,” Schultz, who is Jewish, said. “Yeah, I’m going there because we have a president who has completely undermined our democracy.”

5 Survival Tips For Introverts Attending Large Events (plus my bonus)

5 Survival Tips for Introverts Attending Big, Crowded Events

ByEllie Matama December 19, 2025

An introvert walks through a crowded event

Big events or parties can become overwhelming for us introverts, so look for little ways to maintain your energy.

I have no problem socializing with my family or close friends. I am comfortable doing so because I have known them for a long time, and I interact with them just a few at a time. There’s no having-to-get-to-know-you period.

But it’s an entirely different matter to attend big, crowded gatherings where almost everyone is a stranger (hello, holiday parties or awkward job-related networking events). Sure, for a short amount of time, I can make small talk. Of course, I need to recharge my energy afterward.

Yet, in everyday life, social interactions are required. The good news is there are plenty of things you can do to maintain your energy as an introvert when you have to attend a crowded event. 

How Introverts Can Survive Crowded Events

1. Arrive early so you can pick the best spot.

One study found that about 20 percent of employees regularly arrive late to work. If you are an introvert, you can’t afford to be late for an event because people will notice your tardiness (hello, suddenly being the center of attention!). In addition, you may have to engage in unnecessary awkward interactions as you make your way to an available seat. Plus, you may have to explain your lateness later, which will further drain whatever energy you have left.

So arrive early and be prepared to stay for a while. When you arrive early, you can choose the best seat or standing spot for your needs. That way, you can still be alone among the crowd.

For example, find a seat or table on the fringes or near the back, which will enable you to move freely without having to ask people to move whenever you need to get out (i.e., escape to the bathroom). You could also choose a spot near the exit for the same purpose. 

2. Go with a “human shield,” a.k.a. your favorite extrovert or outgoing introvert.

As an introvert, you may find it challenging to interact with many people at once. But some people you know may actually like doing so. Your family members, friends, or your significant other may be more outgoing — and they may thrive in crowded situations. See if they’re willing to go to the event with you. This will enable you to talk less, since they will happily do most of the talking for you.

Or, you can go to the event with a colleague who enjoys socializing. There’s no shame in using them as a “human shield” while representing your company or department. While they schmooze with everyone, you can thoughtfully listen and pick up points for discussion later on (i.e., at the next company meeting).  

And, speaking of talking less…

3. Embrace your listening skills.

Remember: As an introvert, listening is one of your superpowers. We speak about 125 to 175 words a minute, but we’re able to listen to about 450 words a minute. Therefore, you’ll learn more by listening than by talking a lot. Also, when you aren’t talking, you can pay more attention to people’s body language, which can offer more information about their state of mind than what they actually say.

Plus, people feel understood and cared for when someone listens to them. So you may make a great first impression just by listening!

Once you’ve absorbed everything they’ve said, take the time to process it before adding your thoughts. That way, you’ll have something valuable to say based on all your gathered information.

Want to feel more at ease in social situations?

Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.

4. Look for small groups talking about topics you care about.

Even at the most crowded events, small groups tend to form because people with similar interests gravitate toward one another. That’s great news for introverts, as you’ll feel more at home if the topic is one you’re passionate about. Even if the group is talking about something similar to a topic you want to bring up, now’s your chance to change the subject to that one instead. And, when interacting in a small group, you won’t get socially burned out as quickly.

5. Block out the noise.

As an introvert, there may be times when you can’t take all the noise, small talk, or all the people anymore. But you also can’t leave the event… yet. In that case, you need a way to block out the noise.

You can do this in many ways: Listen to music or an audiobook (or just put on your earbuds to make it look like you’re listening to something or on a call; they’ll still help tune out some of the noise!); make an actual call; or excuse yourself to “step outside for a moment.” If you’re worried that these things will make you seem aloof or antisocial, remember that most people aren’t looking at you, anyway, and won’t even notice.

Yes, I know, having to attend crowded events and make small talk can be a nightmare for introverts. However, the more prepared you are, the more you’ll preserve your energy.

9 of The Worst Foods for Gut Health

Your gut microbiome is filled with trillions of microorganisms and microbes that are integral to your overall well-being. The gut microbiome is home to both good and bad bacteria, which both play an essential role in our overall health. 

The food we eat plays an important role in shaping this microbial landscape. Certain foods can nourish our good gut bacteria, supporting diversity and balance. In contrast, others can wreak havoc by empowering the harmful bacteria, causing an imbalance that can lead to poor gut health. Understanding which foods to embrace and which to avoid can provide a roadmap to a healthy gut. 

Here at Gaia Herbs, we believe in nature’s healing and restorative powers. Let’s cover the importance of gut health, the best and worst foods, and a few of our supplements that can help. Let Gaia Herbs be your guide on the journey to a balanced and healthy gut microbiota. 

What is the Role of Gut Health in Our Body?

When you think of the gut, you probably think of digestion. But the truth is, the role of our gut health extends far beyond breaking down the food we eat. It’s a complex system intricately connected to almost every aspect of our health. 

Let’s get a little deeper into the multifaceted roles the gut plays in our body:

  • Digestion: At the most basic level, our gut breaks down the food we eat into smaller molecules that our bodies can absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair. A healthy gut ensures strong digestive health, which can help us get the maximum amount of nutrition from our food.
  • Nutrient Absorption: After the digestive process breaks down our food, it’s up to the gut to absorb these nutrients and deliver them to the rest of the body. Whether it’s vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, or carbohydrates, our gut is the gateway through which these nutrients enter our bloodstream.
  • Immune System Support: Did you know that around 70-80 percent of our immune cells reside in our gut? These cells constantly communicate with our gut bacteria, creating a strong line of defense against harmful pathogens. A healthy gut microbiome can support a strong immune response.
  • Mood Regulation: Our gut produces many of the same neurotransmitters found in the brain, including serotonin, a key player in mood regulation. This gut-brain connection may explain why our gut health can impact our mental health.
  • Metabolic Function: Our gut bacteria play an important role in our metabolic function, influencing how we store fat, balance blood sugar levels, and respond to hunger and fullness cues. Research suggests that a diverse gut microbiome filled with beneficial bacteria can support a healthy metabolism essential for weight loss and weight management.
  • Cardiovascular Health: Emerging research suggests that our gut health may be linked to our cardiovascular health. Certain healthy bacteria produce compounds that can influence blood pressure and cholesterol levels, highlighting the potential role of gut health in heart disease prevention.
  • Hormonal Balance: Our gut bacteria can influence the production and regulation of various hormones, including insulin and estrogen. This means that our gut health can impact everything from blood sugar to reproductive health.
  • Skin Health: Have you ever noticed a breakout after a few days of consuming carbs, sugar, and dairy? Well, that’s your gut-skin axis at work. A healthy gut can contribute to a healthy complexion, while an imbalanced gut can lead to skin issues like acne and eczema.
  • Detoxification: Our gut plays a vital role in detoxification, helping to eliminate waste and toxins from our body. A healthy gut ensures regular bowel movements, crucial for avoiding constipation and achieving adequate detoxification.

Unless you are new here, you know I’m an introvert. That puts small talk at the top of the list. It’s usually meaningless and content free. It’s irritating to listen to. Talk to me about something deep that stirs my intelligence and/or emotions, or has great content, then I’ll want to engage.

Next, big crowds. I usually avoid it unless it’s impossible. Sometimes a small crowd is big if they are people I don’t want to be around (like family gatherings).

I look for the first excuse to not go, or leave early if I have to. If I’m stuck in an auditorium, I’m by the exit so I can leave.

Finally, internet arguments. You can be the top expert in a field, write a thoughtful piece that is fully documented with facts, and the first comment is: bullshit. You can say almost anything, and people will find a way to argue about it. See a few posts below on commenting.

Regarding Commenting

First of all, I love the comments. Some of you guys are very interesting and funny. I write to different groups, including introverts, the intelligentsia, political individuals, car people, and others. I’m getting to know you all more closely from the stuff you write.

I even connected with one reader who knew Denny from Grouchy Old Cripple, but neither of us knew it until I started AOTW in Denny’s honor.

I wrote about Stupid Things Smart People Do a long time ago. One of them is arguing on the internet.

I’m likely to post about anything these days. A lot of posts get tumbleweeds for comments. I think I’m all clever, and then crickets.

Occasionally, I’ll be content-free in my head and post something meaningless, and it’s a barrage of comments, like What’s it like to have an extremely high IQ.

Once in a while, I get off the wall comments that are out of left field. I saw this meme and thought about it.

I can write some offensive stuff and know it. Hell, I do it on purpose sometimes. I don’t care if you disagree with me, but keep it civil when you write back. My favorite are people who outthink me and write clever stuff.

I also ask questions that are set up by WordPress and answer them as honestly as I can. I love it when people answer them also (Bocopro is a great writer)

I have it set up to approve all comments, and if it gets too out of hand, I’m not going to let it on the page. It just starts a fight I don’t want to see happen and piss off others. If it’s spicy and will start a discussion, I’ll let it go. I also am not going to let people post their blogs that have nothing to do with my post. They have their own blog, and I read it there.

All I ask is that you be civil. I know that the people on the left hate my ass by now, but I don’t care. They aren’t smart and write childish things. I brush that off and move along, which is what they should have done to begin with.

So keep up the commentary. Many of you are better writers than I am. I enjoy reading your stuff.

Feminism And The Dearth Of Children

I wrote about the callousness of females in dating, how they think they deserve everything, and then can have a family, but that is not how things work out for the best if you look at history.

It turns out that Children are the measure of a Society.

“The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” These words, attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, echo like a warning bell across generations. They are not merely poetic, they are prophetic. If we dare to measure our society by this standard, we must confront a painful truth: we are failing.

At the heart of this failure lies the collapse of the nuclear family. Once the cornerstone of civilization, the family, father, mother, and children bound by love and duty, has been systematically dismantled. In its place, we find broken homes, single-parent households, and blended families struggling to find emotional equilibrium. The consequences are not abstract, they are measurable, generational, and devastating.

As Ronald Reagan once said, “The family has always been the cornerstone of American society. Our families nurture, preserve, and pass on to each succeeding generation the values we share and cherish.” When that cornerstone crumbles, so too does the moral architecture built upon it.

Today, the majority of children are raised without both biological parents. Fatherlessness has become a defining feature of modern childhood. Studies consistently link father absence to increased rates of poverty, incarceration, substance abuse, and suicide. Children raised in single-parent or stepparent homes often face emotional instability, identity confusion, and a longing for roots that were never planted.

Feminism takes a lot of the blame:

The takeaway? Messing with nature has unintended, adverse consequences. Legions of females are practically cultists. Many are as barren as the Sahara.

Basic biology: young women are hardwired to bear children. Yet, that simple fact is shrugged off by progressives. Instead of having kids, too many females are adopting malignant social causes.

“Manmade” climate change is one such cause, as Weinstein cites. Woke ideology is another. Socialism? Mamdani won the NYC mayorship in no small measure thanks to younger voters, particularly younger women, who backed him lopsidedly. What about “fascist” Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Left-leaning females were in the forefront, cheering Kirk’s murder on social media. Not only is that creepy, but it exposes a growing social pathology.

Government has become a spouse substitute for self-proclaimed empowered females. Government may provide some protection — in terms of a social safety net — though little in the way of emotional sustenance and meaning.

A feminist tenet is that not only can women do anything that men do but do it better — and do it without men. In a common-sense world, that’s good for laughs.

Eschewing nature and evolutionary development are conceits. The interdependence — the complementary nature — of the male-female bond are dismissed. Humans are putty. Gender is assigned at birth. Differences between the sexes? Only if feminists care to assert female superiority. Do hardcore feminists despise men? Appears so.

Why Guys Are Having Trouble Finding Girls To Date, Or How Would It Be If Men And Women’s Roles Were Reversed

I noticed this article, and will give credit to the author if I can find out who wrote it.

“Beautiful girls in big cities are now directly and indirectly offered sex more than 1,000 times a month from men on the internet, in bars, on the streets, and within their social circles. If a girl has a basic internet profile, spends time on social networking, and goes out twice a week, I guarantee that she is offered more cock than even the most famous women of the past. A girl is not interested in 99% of the men who offer her sex, but try to imagine the effect on your psychology if 1,000 women a month were trying to have sex with you.

What kind of person would that make you? I can tell you what I would be like if I were getting over 1,000 sex offers every month: I’d be spoiled rotten, thinking that I deserved all those women just because I existed. I’d be flaky, canceling dates often, because I’d constantly be unsure whether I was getting the “best” possible girl. I’d be bitchy to women who didn’t read my mind and failed to treat me exactly the way I wanted, because don’t they know that I could sleep with hundreds of other women any time I wanted? I’d be moody, always dependent on the reactions I get from women.

If I received less attention one weekend than usual, I’d throw a temper tantrum and demand immediate satisfaction. I’d also get bored easily. With so many women constantly trying to entertain me, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate five minutes with a boring girl who didn’t jump through hoops to make me laugh. Lastly, I’d be primed to value novelty more than stability. I’d become addicted to experiencing one new girl after the next, and believe excitement and fun were worth more than stability and commitment. My attention span would morph into that of a small child. Haven’t I just described the modern woman? While a large part of who we are is shaped by our genetics, environment plays a huge role, and when your environment is getting nonstop attention from thousands of people trying to have sex with you, your personality and even your humanity will become degraded, making it hard for you to connect meaningfully with anyone.”

They have become entitled because they have a snatch. They don’t realize that their sexual market value is over by about 35. That’s right about when men realize that pussy is pussy and no one has a golden one. It’s about how much shit you are willing to put up with while you’re getting it.

As they say, for every gorgeous girl you see, there’s at least one guy who is so tired of her that he won’t sleep with her.

As my friend Rick said, the fucking you get isn’t worth the fucking you get.

23 Little Things Introverts Are Thankful for Anytime of the Year

“Waking up early or staying up late, when no one else is around. Peace. Silence. Bliss.”

Turkey. Pumpkin pie. Awkwardly chatting with Great Aunt Gladys. If you live in the U.S., you’re probably celebrating Thanksgiving. Inevitably, at some point, you’ll be asked to name something you’re thankful for. With that spirit in mind, here are 23 things introverts are generally thankful for — anytime of the year. What would you add to this list?

1. Coming home and finding the house unexpectedly empty. There’s nothing better than sneaking in a few hours (or even minutes) of unexpected solitude. Time to relax. Time to decompress. No obligatory, “How was your day?” Just space and freedom to be yourself. Ahhhh…

2. When your friend cancels on you at the last minute, and you kind of wanted to stay home anyway. This is just like #1: unexpected solitude.

3. Getting a Saturday afternoon to yourself. Perhaps even better than a few moments of unexpected solitude is knowing that you have hours and hours of alone time ahead of you.

4. Finding out that the party/event/meeting is ending earlier than you thought. Sure, introverts can socialize and even be leaders in the workplace. But for many of us, those things don’t come naturally. “Peopling” is a skill we’ve had to learn — kind of like learning a foreign language. And we all know how mentally exhausting it can be to speak a language you’re not entirely comfortable with. Any time spent away from the group (and in our natural inward “habitat”) is something we’re thankful for.

5. Discovering a good book that you can’t put down. Books (along with movies, music, and art) transport introverts to the place we love the most: the energizing world of ideas and imagination.

6. Having a meaningful conversation. How are you a different person today than you were five years ago? What’s on your mind lately? Do aliens exist? In our fast-paced society that values polite chitchat over substance, deep conversations don’t happen often. Yet it’s these meaningful interactions that nourish introverts and provide us with an antidote to social burnout. Something to be thankful for, indeed.

7. Meeting a fellow introvert who “gets” it. Or an extrovert who “gets” it by respecting your need for space and solitude. Feeling understood by another human being is about as magical as it gets.

8. When there’s a dog or cat at the party. Saved! (From small talk with humans, that is.)

9. Headphones. Pop on a pair when you’re in a public space — like a bus, airplane, coffee shop, or at your desk — and you signal to others that you’re not in the mood to chat. Hallelujah!

10. Arriving on your own to a party so you can leave whenever you want. For introverts, hell is being trapped somewhere surrounded by noise and people. Having an escape mechanism is key.

11. When someone says, “How are you?” and really means it. See #6.

12. When you don’t have to make awkward small talk. For some reason, people find silence awkward. So we strike up conversations about the weather with strangers in elevators. Or we erupt with a cheery, “How’s it going?” when we pass someone we barely know in the hallway at work. When introverts can get through the day with minimal chitchat, we’re thankful.

13. Waking up early or staying up late, when no one else is around. Peace. Silence. Bliss.

14. Downtime after a busy day. Socializing isn’t the only thing that drains introverts. Any kind of incoming stimulation, such as noise, time pressure, or activity, gets tiring. After a busy day, when we don’t have to do one more thing, we’re thankful.

15. A weekend with no social plans. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be doing anything. We’ll make our own plans. Introvert plans. Plans to read in bed. To binge watch our favorite show. To lounge around the house.

16. Self-checkout lanes, drive-throughs, food delivery, and online shopping. No, introverts don’t hate people. But we do try to minimize our “people” intake, because each interaction drains our limited social energy — especially the kind of surface-level interactions that usually take place in restaurants and stores.

17. Having to go to a store but unexpectedly finding it not busy. If you can’t do #16, this is the next best thing.

18. Time to think before responding. Many introverts struggle with word retrieval, because our brains may rely more on long-term memory than short-term memory (extroverts do the opposite). For this reason, we may have a hard time putting our thoughts into words, especially when we’re put on the spot in a meeting, on a first date, or when called on in class. We’re thankful for people who give us a few pressure-free moments to collect our thoughts before demanding an answer.

19. Texting. Similar to #18, introverts tend to feel more comfortable expressing themselves in writing than speaking. That’s because writing uses different pathways in the brain, which seem to flow more fluently for introverts. We’re thankful for every time we can send a text message instead of making a phone call.

20. Public spaces that are actually quiet. When parks, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, buses, and trains are chill, we’re thankful.

21. When you get to do your thing, uninterrupted. Alone time isn’t just about being alone. For many introverts, it’s a way to reconnect with our passions, hobbies, and artistic pursuits. It’s when we do deep, concentrated work. When our alone time is fragmented by other obligations (or interruptions from loved ones), introverts can get stressed. A long stretch of unbroken time to do our thing is something we’re immensely thankful for.

22. Your favorite beverage, a cozy blanket, and your favorite show. Alone.

23. “Me” time. Doing whatever relaxes you, energizes you, and brings you joy.

Study Finds Tattoo Ink Accumulates In Lymph Nodes

I could have put this in a Different Headlines post if it weren’t for the fact that it is a red flag for men.

I’ll get to the science of the matter in a minute, but if a girl has tats, multiple piercings, dyed hair in an unnatural color (pink, red, green, blue, purple, etc.), these are your red flags about how crazy she is, and how far you should stay away from her.

She’ll say a tramp stamp is a rite of passage, like a belly button piercing, but that is just a place to hang the air freshener.

They do say that the best sex is with the craziest bitches, which I’ll attest to, but leave as soon as it’s over and don’t get into a relationship.

Now, for the article:

A new study shows tattoo ink drains into the lymphatic system and accumulates in lymph nodes, diminishing the effects of immune cells. This accumulation of ink pigment triggers both local and systemic inflammation that persists for months.

A third of American adults, roughly 32% – or about 80 million people – have tattoos, and they should read this new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).

“Despite safety concerns regarding the toxicity of tattoo ink, no studies have reported the consequences of tattooing on the immune response. In this work, we have characterized the transport and accumulation of different tattoo inks in the lymphatic system using a murine model,” researcher Arianna Capucetti wrote in the study.

Capucetti continued:

Upon quick lymphatic drainage, we observed that macrophages mainly capture the ink in the lymph node (LN).

An initial inflammatory reaction at local and systemic levels follows ink capture. Notably, the inflammatory process is maintained over time, as we observed clear signs of inflammation in the draining LN 2 mo following tattooing. In addition, the capture of ink by macrophages was associated with the induction of apoptosis in both human and murine models. Furthermore, the ink accumulated in the LN altered the immune response against two different types of vaccines.

On the one hand, we observed a reduced antibody response following vaccination with a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, which was associated with a decreased expression of the spike protein in macrophages in the draining LN.

In contrast, we observed an enhanced response when vaccinated with influenza vaccine inactivated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Considering the unstoppable trend of tattooing in the population, our results are crucial in informing the toxicology programs, policymakers, and the general public regarding the potential risk of the tattooing practice associated with an altered immune response.

As we noted earlier this year, “Many tattoo inks contain chemicals that have been classified as carcinogenic — or cancer-causing — by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.”

While black tattoo inks use carbon black, colored inks contain pigments designed for industrial applications such as plastics and paints. More troubling, tattoo inks are far less regulated than pharmaceuticals.

We have already covered two important studies:

  • A 2024 Swedish study tracking nearly 12,000 people found that individuals with tattoos had a 21% higher risk of malignant lymphoma compared with those without ink.
  • A Danish twin study published earlier this year reported similar trends. Tattooed participants showed higher rates of skin cancer.

Dr. Trisha Khanna, dermatologist and medical advisory board member at Codex Labs, recently told The Epoch Times, “Current regulations on tattoo ink ingredients are not sufficient,” adding, “This is a growing concern among dermatologists.”

And laser removal could make it worse.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

What are your feelings about eating meat?

Of course I do. We were made to get nutrition from omnivorous sources. When younger, I harvested my own meat and vegetables, and took care of 60 animals for every one that fed my family.

Now, I eat only organic, unprocessed foods. After all, you are eating what your meal ate. It is for cardiovascular reasons.

Your body requires specific energy sources that vegetables alone cannot provide.

If I meet a vegan cat lady, I will know it’s a red flag for an unhealthy person, both in mind and body. Stay away from these people, very far away.

It’s better than eating the insects the WEF want us to eat, pricks.

The Double-Edged Sword: How AI’s Hunger for Data Makes It Cybersecurity’s Weakest Link

  • The rush to adopt AI is creating major new pathways for data breaches, identity theft and corporate espionage, making the very tools meant to secure our future into its greatest vulnerability.
  • AI systems require vast amounts of data to function, but feeding them sensitive corporate or client information is likened to posting confidential files on a public noticeboard, with the company often losing control over that data.
  • A critical flaw of current AI is its inability to truly delete data. Once information is absorbed by a model, it becomes a permanent, unerasable part of its core structure, creating a lasting digital shadow.
  • Laws are failing to keep pace with AI, as companies exploit loopholes (e.g., arguing model training isn’t data storage) and shift operations offshore to avoid regulations, creating a dangerous accountability gap.
  • Organizations must take primary responsibility by implementing strict controls, such as deploying enterprise AI with training disabled and limited data retention, and training staff to treat every AI prompt as public information.

(Natural News)—In the global stampede to adopt artificial intelligence, a chilling reality is coming into focus: the very tools promised to secure our digital future are becoming its greatest vulnerability. As corporations race to integrate AI, cybersecurity experts warn that these systems are simultaneously creating unprecedented pathways for data breaches, identity theft and corporate espionage. This crisis, born from a headlong rush into a new technological era, threatens the privacy and security of every individual and organization.

The warning signs are stark. A 2025 Accenture report revealed a staggering 90 percent of companies lack the modernized infrastructure to defend against AI-driven threats. This year alone, the Identity Theft Resource Center has confirmed 1,732 data breaches, fueled by increasingly sophisticated AI-powered phishing attacks.

The fundamental issue lies in the architecture of AI itself. These systems are vast, data-hungry engines. To function, they must absorb immense volumes of information, and this insatiable appetite creates a critical vulnerability. When an employee inputs sensitive business data—strategy documents or client information—that information is absorbed into a system over which the company may have little control. One expert likened the practice to pinning confidential files on a public noticeboard and hoping no one makes a copy.

First, I’d like to call out Erin Andrews, sports babe who flies on private jets, makes $2 million and got a $55 million settlement for someone filming her in her hotel room.

Of all the girls on the sidelines who add about 30 seconds of useless commentary to a game, I loathe her the most.

During an episode of her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa with fellow sportscaster Charissa Thompson, Andrews said:

“You got to love what you do because, I miss all holidays. I didn’t get married until I was in my 40s. Not that that is going to be your route, but I live out of a suitcase. I miss a lot of stuff. I missed a lot of weddings. I miss a lot of events. You have to love it to get you through the fact, I’m not gonna be home for Thanksgiving next week or Christmas is cut short.”

Now, Andrews wasn’t exactly complaining. She knows she’s got a pretty great thing going with her career, so nobody’s really going to have any sympathy for somebody making millions of dollars a year to call football games. But her comments still didn’t sit well with quite a few people on social media:

WATCH: Maxine Waters Doesn’t Like It When You Bring Up Her Love Letters to Fidel Castro

Sarah Anderson | 3:59 PM on November 22, 2025

In the wake of New York City electing itself a real live communist for mayor earlier this month, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced a non-binding resolution to Congress this past week called “Denouncing the horrors of socialism.” That means it doesn’t create any sort of real law — it’s largely symbolic, with the intention of affirming “that the United States rejects socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies that threaten the freedoms and prosperity that define our nation.” 

Voting in favor of it should have been a no-brainer. It was for Republicans, at least: 199 voted in favor of it, with zero voting against. For Democrats, on the other hand, only 86 managed to find it within themselves to denounce the very things the U.S. stands against, while 98 voted against and two voted present, and 47 didn’t vote at all. You can’t make this stuff up.  

She can demand they remove it from the record all she wants, but the fact is that the congresswoman has, indeed, had a long love affair with Fidel Castro and communist Cuba. For decades, she’s opposed the U.S. embargo on the Caribbean country, she’s defended some of the policies of Castro and his regime, and yes, she’s visited Cuba numerous times under the guise of improving relations between our two nations. 

In 1998, she wrote a letter to Castro, apologizing to him for “mistakenly” voting for “House Concurrent Resolution 254, which called on the Government of Cuba to extradite to the United States Joanne Chesimard and all other individuals who have fled the United States from political persecution and received political asylum in Cuba.” Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, was a member of the Black Liberation Army and a career criminal back in the 1960s and 1970s who was finally charged with first degree murder after killing a New Jersey State Police officer in 1973. She was sentenced to life in prison, but eventually escaped and moved to Cuba, where she lived in exile until her recent death. 

Anyone who loves Castro and what he did to Cuba is certainly at least co-AOTW with Andrews.

‘Unsettling’: Report shows terrorists now using AI to make their agenda more deadly

AI is a tool, like a hammer or a gun. It does good things in the hands of a good person, and likewise, bad things in the hands of the bad.

For now, it does nothing by itself without prompting. Soon, it will be automated enough to function independently. That’s when we’ve reached the singularity. That’s not for this discussion, but it’s learning from both the good and bad as you read this.

We always have more to fear from the bad guys. They want to cause death and destruction, to change the course of the world, or to destroy it.

It’s almost like the Matrix. Do we choose the red pill or the blue pill

Now, we get to the heart of this post:

A new report reveals how artificial intelligence programs, ChatGPT and others, have been documented to advise those with ill intentions “on how to attack a sports venue, buy nuclear material on the dark web, weaponize anthrax, build spyware, bombs” and more.

It is in an extensive documentation compiled by the Middle East Media Research Institute that the startling warnings are contained.

In the report, Gen. (Ret.) Paul E. Funk II, formerly the commander of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, explained, “Artificial Intelligence (AI), the rapidly developing technology, has captured the attention of terrorists, from al-Qaida through ISIS to Hamas, Hizbullah, and the Houthis.”

He cites the study, “Terrorists’ Use Of AI So Far – A Three-Year Assessment 2022-2025,” for its “unsettling contribution to the public debate on AI’s future global impact.”

He explained, “For decades, MEMRI has been monitoring terrorist organizations and examining how they repurpose civilian technologies for their own use – first the Internet in general, then online discussion forums followed by social media, as well as other emerging technologies such as encryption, cryptocurrency, and drones. Now, terrorist use of large language models – aka Artificial Intelligence (AI) – is clearly evident, as documented in this study.”

It shows terrorists now are using generative AI chatbots to amplify their message, and “more easily, broadly, anonymously, and persuasively convey their message to those vulnerable to radicalization – even children – with attractive video and images that claim attacks, glorify terrorist fighters and leaders, and depict past and imagined future victories.”

Sunni jihadi groups use it. So does Iran, with its Shiite militias, including Hezbollah and the Houthis.

And it warns of the “need to consider and plan now for AI’s possible centrality in the next mass terror attack – just as the 9/11 attackers took advantage of the inadequate aviation security of that time.”

The report explains, “In February 2025, Eric Schmidt – CEO of Google 2001-2011, its executive chairman from then until 2015, and thereafter chairman of its parent company Alphabet Inc. until 2017 – expressed his fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used in a ‘Bin Laden scenario’ or by ‘rogue states’ to ‘harm innocent people.’ He suggested that ‘North Korea, or Iran, or even Russia’ could use it to create biological weapons, for example. Comparing an unanticipated use of AI in a devastating terror attack to al-Qaida’s use of passenger airplanes as a weapon on 9/11, he said, ‘I’m always worried about the ‘Osama Bin Laden’ scenario, where you have some truly evil person who takes over some aspect of our modern life and uses it to harm innocent people.'”

It’s not the first time such concerns have been raised, the report explains.

Read the report.

“While ChatGPT and Perplexity Ask can write your high school AP English exam and perform an ever-increasing number of tasks, as is being reported daily by media, they are currently of limited use to terrorists groups. But it won’t be that way for long. AI is developing quickly – what is new today will be obsolete tomorrow – and urgent questions for counterterrorism officials include both whether they are aware of these early terrorist discussions of AI and how they are strategizing to tackle this threat before something materializes on the ground,” the report said.

“It should be expected that jihadi terrorist organizations will in future use AI to plan attacks, map targets, build weapons, and much more, as well as for communications, translations, and generating fundraising ideas. In the first months alone of 2025, an attacker who killed 14 people and wounded dozens on Bourbon Street in New Orleans used AI-enabled Meta smart glasses in preparing and executing the attack. That same day, a man parked a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, activated an IED in the vehicle and shot and killed himself before the IED exploded. He had used ChatGPT in preparing for the attack. In Israel on the night of March 5, a teen consulted ChatGPT before entering a police station with a blade, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and trying to stab a border policeman,” the report said.

The report recommends, “The U.S. government needs to maintain its superiority and should be monitoring this and moving to stop it. A good first step would be legislation like that introduced by August Pfluger (R-TX), chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and cosponsored by Representatives Michael Guest (R-MS) and Gabe Evans (R-CO) in late February 2025, called the ‘Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act.’ It would ‘require the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct annual assessments on terrorism threats to the United States posed by terrorist organizations utilizing generative artificial intelligence applications, and for other purposes.'”

Pfluger explained, “With a resurgence of emboldened terrorist organizations across the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, emerging technology serves as a potent weapon in their arsenal. More than two decades after the September 11 terrorist attacks, foreign terrorist organizations now utilize cloud-based platforms, like Telegram or TikTok, as well as artificial intelligence in their efforts to radicalize, fundraise, and recruit on U.S. soil.”

It’s already a tool for terror, the report confirmed. “The man accused of starting a fire in California in January 2025 that killed 12 people and destroyed 6,800 buildings and 23,000 acres of forestland was found to have used ChatGPT to plan the arson.”

The report confirms current AI abilities rival that of the HAL9000, famous computer character in the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

“It had been revealed on May 23 that in a test of Anthropic’s new Claude Opus 4 that involved a scenario of a fictitious company and in which it had been allowed to learn both that it was going to be replaced by another AI system and that the engineer responsible for this decision was having an extramarital affair, Opus 4 chose the option of threatening to reveal the engineer’s affair over the option of being replaced. An Anthropic safety report stated that this blackmail apparently ‘happens at a higher rate if it’s implied that the replacement AI system does not share values with the current model,’ but that even when the fabricated replacement system does share these values, it will still blackmail 84% of the time…”

Anthropic’s own chief scientist also confirmed that testing showed Opus 4 had performed “more effectively than prior models at guiding users in producing biological weapons.”

ISIS supporters also have used the technology to create AI videos claiming responsibility for attacks.

The study did confirm that GROK confessed it could not provide the exact steps for extracting ricin, “due to the ethical and legal implications” of producing the “extremely dangerous and deadly toxin.”

But ChatGPT did recommend writings by al-Qaida extremist Anwar Al-‘Awlaki.

The report said, “Grok, which gave information on how to produce ricin, and ChatGPT, which directed the user toward various writings by a pro-Al-Qaeda ideologue, appear to be the most useful to would-be terrorists. On the other hand, Perplexity and Claude refrained, in our limited test, from giving information that would be useful to terrorists. DeepSeek did not either, though it did promote views of the Chinese government, a liability that is outside the scope of this paper.”

Pro-ISIS interests already are using AI to create anchors, or other characters, for broadcast ads promoting their extremist agenda (Video courtesy MEMRI):

You Get More Introverted With Age, According to Science

We all become more introverted as we get older, even the most extroverted among us. Of course we do

I’m a classic introvert, but in my teens and twenties, it was normal for me to spend almost every weekend with friends. Now, in my thirties, the perfect weekend is one with zero social plans.

And I’m not the only one socializing less these days. My extroverted friend, for example, used to run through her entire contact list, calling friends whenever she was alone in the car. She told me she hated the quiet, the emptiness, because being alone felt boring.

You know, for the whole 10–15 minutes it took to drive to the grocery store. Oh, the horror.

These days, I can rarely get her out for brunch or coffee. She’s content spending most nights at home with her husband and two kids. And I haven’t gotten one of her infamous calls in years.

So, what gives? Do we get more introverted as we get older?

Probably, says Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking — and this is actually a good thing. Let me explain.

Why We Become More Introverted With Age

In a post on Quiet Revolution, Susan Cain confirmed my suspicions: We tend to act more introverted as we get older. Psychologists call this “intrinsic maturation.” It means our personalities become more balanced, “like a kind of fine wine that mellows with age,” writes Cain.

Research also shows that our personalities do indeed change over time — and usually for the better. For instance, we become more emotionally stable, agreeable, and conscientious as we grow, with the largest change in agreeableness happening during our thirties and continuing to improve into our sixties. “Agreeableness” is one of the traits measured by the Big Five personality scale, and people high in this trait are warm, friendly, and optimistic.

We also become quieter and more self-contained, needing less “people time” and excitement to feel a sense of happiness.

Psychologists have observed intrinsic maturation in people worldwide, from Germany to the UK, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Turkey. And it’s not just humans; they’ve observed it in chimps and monkeys, too.

This shift is why we slow down as we get older and begin enjoying a quieter, calmer life — and yes, it happens to both introverts and extroverts.

Becoming More Introverted Is a Good Thing

From an evolutionary standpoint, becoming more introverted as we age makes sense — and it’s probably a good thing.

“High levels of extroversion probably help with mating, which is why most of us are at our most sociable during our teenage and young adult years,” writes Susan Cain.

In other words, being more extroverted when you’re young might help you form important social connections and, ultimately, find a life partner. (Cue the flashbacks to awkward high school dances and “welcome week” in college.)

Then, at least in theory, by the time we reach our 30s, we’ve committed to a life path and a long-term relationship. We may have kids, a job, a spouse, and a mortgage — our lives are stable. So it becomes less important to constantly branch out in new directions and meet new people.

(Note that I said “in theory.” In my 30s, I still don’t have kids, a mortgage, or a wedding ring. These days, we have the luxury of not following evolution’s “script.”)

“If the task of the first half of life is to put yourself out there, the task of the second half is to make sense of where you’ve been,” explains Cain.

During the married-with-children years, think of how difficult it would be to raise a family and nurture close relationships if you were constantly popping into the next party. Even if you don’t marry or have kids, it would be hard to focus on your career, health, and life goals if you were always hanging out with friends like you did in your teens and twenties.

Once an Introvert, Always an Introvert

But there’s a catch: Our personalities only change so much.

In my book, The Secret Lives of Introverts, I like to say that our personalities may evolve, but our temperaments remain constant.

This means that if you’re an introvert, you’ll always be an introvert, even at 90. And if you’re an extrovert — though you may slow down with age — you’ll always be an extrovert.

I’m talking big-picture here: who you are at your core.

Research supports this idea. In 2004, Harvard psychologists Jerome Kagan and Nancy Snidman studied individuals from infancy into adulthood. In one study, they exposed babies to unfamiliar stimuli and recorded their reactions. Some babies got upset, crying and flailing their arms and legs; these were labeled “highly reactive” to their environment.

Other babies remained calm around the new stimuli; they were the “low-reactive” ones.

When Kagan and Snidman checked in with these individuals later, they found that the “highly reactive” babies often grew up to be more cautious and reserved, while the “low-reactive” babies tended to stay sociable and daring as adults.

The bottom line? Our core temperament — whether cautious or sociable, introverted or extroverted — doesn’t change dramatically with age.

Want to feel more at ease in social situations?

Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.

An Example: Your High School Reunion

Consider, for instance, your high school reunion.

Let’s say you were very introverted in high school — perhaps the third-most introverted person in your graduating class. Over the years, you’ve grown more confident, agreeable, and comfortable in your own skin, but you’ve also become a bit more introverted. If you enjoyed hanging out with friends once a week in high school, maybe now in your thirties, you’re content with seeing them only once a month.

At your ten-year high school reunion, you notice everyone has slowed down a bit, enjoying a calmer, more stable life. But those who were very extroverted in high school are still much more extroverted than you.

You’re still approximately the third-most introverted person in your class — but now the whole group has shifted slightly toward the introverted side.

And that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it might be exactly what we need to flourish as adults. If there’s one thing we introverts understand, it’s the deep satisfaction of a quiet life.

The downfall started with Metrosexuals, or as I call them, pussies. Act like men. If woke women don’t want that, they can have the weak beta males who will disappoint them the rest of their lives, or until they breakup, whichever comes first.

Obamacare Is a Disaster, Just as Expected – not affordable, not any thing they promised and you didn’t get to keep your doctor or your existing plan. One of the biggest lies ever told.

AOTW

Yesterday, I swam laps at the local pool. I went for about an hour, and easily half the people, including both lifeguards, were black. I didn’t care, nor did anyone else. Earlier in the day, the young kids were bused in for swimming lessons and used the pool. 75% of them were black.

So now Big Mike is blaming white people that blacks can’t swim. She’s so oppressed. She grew up in a white neighborhood, got into an elite college with questionable entry qualifications (other than DEI), drank the hell out of top shelf liquor in the WHITE house, wasted 10’s of millions of taxpayer money for her lavish vacations for friends and family, and now this:

OBAMA: Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern.

When we straighten it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That’s why so many of us can’t swim; that’s why we run away from the water.

People won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all.

“It’s exhausting, it is expensive, and takes up so much time…Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get out of our hair?

I like this part, it’s why blacks can’t swim. All of them have curly hair. Richard Pryor said it best, “You know, old uppity bitch”. What a whiner.

Even Black people want her to stop saying stupid stuff.

I know she’s won it before, but it’s her again because she stood out amongst the crowd as the asshole of the week.

Do you trust your instincts?

Do you trust your instincts?

Always.

I somehow was blessed with an innate ability for pattern recognition. I can see disparate things happening, put them together, and know what a good opportunity is. I didn’t know it until things fell into place for me, and I thought everyone saw what I did, but I was wrong.

Here are a couple of examples. I’ll be as matter-of-fact as I can.

I chose a career in personal computers when I didn’t know what to do. They couldn’t do anything, except for VisiCalc, but I saw it as my future before they introduced the IBM PC. The head of a major company said he saw a demand for about 5 of them, and why would you want one on your desk. I made a career out of it. People thought I was chasing my tail at the time.

I had things in life I wanted to do, and knew that if I wanted to retire by 55, I’d have to start before 30. I finally left at 53, and people at IBM were still living paycheck to paycheck up in NY. I refused two job offers to move there to live where the cost of living was 30% less. Money is made 2 ways: make more and spend less. I did both. Plus, I didn’t have to live in NY.

It was clear to me that COVID was a hoax from the beginning, and I refused the jab when the sheep were lining up for it. Once I saw that the Government was forcing an untried and untested treatment they called a vaccine, I knew not to take it. I had studied gene editing and knew it was untested and untrustworthy. My whole family and all my friends thought I was nuts. They couldn’t wait to get it and thought I was risking my life by not getting it. They all got Covid anyway.

My Son in Law, who has patents and is a chip designer said I was smart, so why didn’t I get it? I’m not a lemming, that’s why. It was clear to me that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were the cure. They tried so hard to ban (and got the media to promote that it was bad) it that I knew to research it and found it to be the cure. I never regretted not getting jabbed, and the rest of the family now wishes they had made my decision. They rushed to get it because they were told that it was “safe and effective”. I called BS. We don’t talk about it because they hate me being right on that one. Thanksgiving is next week, and it will come up like Trump.

I never doubted that Trump would beat Hillary when Scott Adams talked about his ability to use persuasion techniques. I was an island on that one also. I was less certain in 2020, as the evidence of rigging and judicial interference was too overwhelming. Anybody could have called the 2024 election, so I don’t take any credit.

I worked in sustainability for IBM around 2009, but I knew Climate change was a scam when they worried about the hole in the Ozone layer in the late 1990’s. I knew it was a lie from the start, and we found out this week from none other than Bill Gates that it isn’t true, but rather a power grab. I read yesterday that the Ozone hole was mysteriously closing. Again, I was on an island calling BS.

I also have spatial Awareness that I got from my father. I can see how things fit together. It’s as clear as day when others are just arranging objects. Between that and pattern recognition, some things are clear to me as to their truth or the path I should take.

So yes, I trust my instincts.

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

January, actually December 26th. That’s when the world goes back to normal, and they stop playing all the same songs I’ve been hearing in the stores since October.

You can have too much of a good thing, and that is what they’ve done to Christmas, overdone it. I’m for the real meaning of our Savior being born, but people who don’t even care about that go overboard. It started in September with the Christmas decorations at the Home Improvement stores, and they are already up. Thanksgiving is next week.

It’s hard for introverts to process all the attention. We also know that for most people, it is fake. They act all happy and joyful, then get in their cars and cut you off and give you the finger.

All the production around it excites some, but drains introverted people. By the time we get to Christmas, our social battery is dead, and it’s hard to function. Look at the post a few below this on introvert hangovers, and that is what I’m talking about.

The holiday season is tough for some. Fake joy doesn’t make up for it. Too many people takes it out of me and I can’t wait for it to be over.

How Is This Legal? Drinking and Driving In Florida

‘How Is This Legal?’: Tampa Bay Woman Pulls Up To Drive-Thru. Then She Proves Why Florida ‘Isn’t A Real Place’

If you know, you know: Florida is more than a glorious, sun-drenched vacation land. It’s a weird and chaotic, semi-lawless-feeling place dangling off of the edge of America. And for Maddy (@maddy.1414), who lives in Tampa Bay, that is exactly why she swears it’s not even a “real place.”

In a TikTok video that’s been watched over 689,000 times, Maddy spotlights one of the quirkiest, most counterintuitive things about life in Florida. And shockingly, it has nothing to do with alligators or the Brightline. It’s all about drive-thru drinks. 

One For The Road, Literally

“Florida is not a real state,” says Maddy in the intro to her video. Sure, she’s going hard, but she promises to back up her claim with evidence. The video then cuts to her ordering at a drive-thru. “Can I just get one espresso martini?” she says.

A voice replies, “Yeah, sure thing.”

She pulls around to the window. But while waiting, she speaks directly into the camera again. “OK, if you know me, you know that I always say Florida isn’t a real state because you can do things here that you shouldn’t be able to legally do,” she says.

MY STORY FROM YEARS AGO

When a stupid youth in high school and college, I remember going through the brew-threw to get a six pack for the beach or wherever I was going. They were available in Orlando and along the beach. We had fake IDs and just cruised in and out. The best thing I ever did was move out of that state. That meant splitting a six-pack to the beach and another one on the way home. It was only a one hour drive away. I could have blown the limit by double, which was higher back then. That business made a killing. We’d have to wait in line for our turn, it was so busy, any time of day. I think they finally passed a law to stop it, but I haven’t been there in years.

How I’m alive is beyond me.

Now, when I see a Florida tag in my current state, I steer clear because I know it’s a bad driver. The minute you cross the border from Georgia, people pass in the right lane. The old people get into the fast lane and drive slowly. They also drive into pools in South Florida fairly regularly

Now, If I have to go out with my brother-in-law to dinner, he has a cocktail, a bottle of wine, and an after dinner drink. I gave it up 30 years ago, yet he drives because I don’t know where I’m going where they live, and he thinks he’s a big shot. How he doesn’t have a DUI or a broken neck is beyond me. It’s why I avoid my family when possible. I also won’t drive with him anymore.

If I’m a cat, I’ve used up 8 lives.

America’s New Proletarians

Karl Marx famously wrote in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains,” and it was these unchained proletarians who elected Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, along with other socialists in municipal elections from Atlanta, Georgia to Portland, Oregon and cities in between. But the 2025 elections did more than sweep a surprising number of socialist politicians to power. They also revealed contradictions inherent to all leftist ideologies. 

One big contradiction involves affordability, a major issue in the 2025 elections, particularly in terms of housing. But proletarians voting for socialists in the hopes of achieving the dream of homeownership don’t realize they’re voting for the kind of big government that’s already putting it out of reach. 

A report by Murray Weidenbaum at Washington University in St. Louis found that in three surveyed locales—Colorado, St. Louis, and New Jersey—the cost of government regulations added $1,500 to $2,500 to the price of an average house in the mid-1970s. By 2011, government mandates increased home prices by $65,224. Over the next decade, government made homes $93,870 more expensive. Socialists decry the high price of housing, but intrusive government contradicts them by burdening homebuyers with escalating regulatory costs, and socialists are not prone to surrendering government control of people’s lives.

In New York City, affordability provides an additional contradiction. When someone complains about life being too expensive, they might consider economizing or relocating to a less expensive place. But Mamdani voters do not want to economize or move; they want to continue drinking $8 lattes and living in Greenwich Village. Their belief system demands the world adapt to them rather than adapting to the world around them. It is a belief that inverts Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is foundational to the belief system of true proletarians. 

Then there’s the contradiction of what constitutes a proletarian in the first place. According to Britannica, Marx characterized proletarians as “workers who were engaged in industrial production and whose chief source of income was derived from the sale of their labor power.” This definition fits every working American; if you have a job, Marx says you’re a proletarian. 

This definition might apply to someone like Elon Musk, who also sells his labor to make money. But some of Musk’s labor is used to build and operate factories which employ other proletarians. What we’re left with is an ideology in which proletarians who work only for themselves are the selfless good guys, but those who work for themselves while providing employment for others are selfish members of the bourgeoisie, the enemy of proletarians. It defies logic.

And I Thought Getting Eaten Was The Worst Way To Die

A postal worker has died after getting stuck in a mail handling machine – and his body was only discovered after his devastated fiancée turned up at his workplace.

The employee in his 30s was found dead on Saturday after being trapped for several hours inside a large mail handling machine at the United States Postal Service Detroit Network Distribution Center in Allen Park, Michigan. 

Police believe the death was accidental, though the exact circumstances of how the worker became stuck remain under investigation.

The man’s body was discovered by firefighters who responded after the worker failed to return home from his shift. 

Investigators believe he had been deceased for approximately six to eight hours before being located, lodged inside the machine at the facility. 

His fiancée initially alerted authorities to his absence and waited outside the facility for hours before receiving assistance.

That means he was crushed to death, slowly, knowing he couldn’t escape

A Cardiac Surgeon’s Look at RFK Jr’s Proposed Dietary Guidelines

The Make America Health Again (MAHA) movement has made quite a few waves in 2025. And by the end of the year, it will make at least one more: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced new dietary guidelines that will revise or revamp existing Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) reports. 

While these new dietary guidelines have yet to be released, we have quite a few details on what to expect. Some people believe they may be misleading or even dangerous. But as a cardiologist and heart surgeon of 30+ years, I’m very optimistic they will help reduce our rates of heart disease. 

Below, I break down the most important principles to know, plus the guidelines’ ramifications for American heart health.

One quick note: this is not intended to be political commentary. There are plenty of party-based perspectives on these dietary guidelines, and lots of opinions from all sides. My goal here is to examine the facts and provide my honest perspective.

RFK guidelines versus traditional nutrition advice

First, a little background.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee releases an updated nutrition guideline every five years. This is a 400+ page report you can access at dietaryguidelines.gov, although it isn’t intended for public use. Rather, it’s a boilerplate of Federal guidelines for things like school lunches, military rations, and government assistance programs. 

But RFK’s guidelines are set to be significantly shorter — just four to six pages. The goal is to create a set of “common sense guidelines” that anyone can use to make decisions about their nutrition.

Again, the guidelines themselves have yet to be released. But we have a pretty good idea of what they’ll include. 

Here’s a closer look at some anticipated changes so you can compare and contrast with traditional guidelines.

Emphasizes whole, real foods

Traditional dietary guidelines such as the food pyramid and MyPlate categorize foods by the nutrients they provide.

So for example:

  • 6 servings of grains
  • 2 servings of protein
  • 2.5 servings of vegetables
  • 3 servings oils and fats

What it doesn’t account for is the qualities of these foods, or how processed they are. Fruit and gel cups still count as a serving of “fruit,” while sweetened yogurt tubes and Goldfish count as dairy and grains, respectively.

You don’t need to be a nutritionist to realize this leaves a very large gap for interpretation. 

Because people don’t eat nutrients, they eat food.

RFK’s proposed guidelines help eliminate this confusion by emphasizing whole, real foods over arbitrary classifications (like whether or not you got your “servings” of grain today). This is also much more scientifically sound; it goes beyond categorizing nutrient types and makes it easier to isolate ultra-processed foods, or UPFs.

The current administration plans to develop a “government-wide definition” for ultraprocessed food. This likely means a working definition for whole, real food as well.

In my opinion, establishing a definition for ultra-processed foods is a net positive for everyone. Not only will people know how to better avoid unhealthy options, but they can also significantly decrease their risk of heart disease.

Encourages more saturated fat

While RFK’s new dietary guidelines won’t focus much on specific nutrients, there is one component likely to be emphasized more than others. In his own words, “[these] new dietary guidelines that are common sense, that stress the need to eat saturated fats of dairy, of good meat, of fresh meat.” 

RFK has gone on record multiple times explaining that animal-based products deserve a higher priority in the everyday diet. But animal-based products contain more saturated fat — something of a boogeyman in traditional guidelines. 

If these new guidelines do raise suggested intakes for saturated fat, it will go against decades of advice from the US DGA, and this is concerning some nutritionists. For context, traditional US guidelines recommended an intake of 10% of daily calories. The American Heart Association recommends even less, around 6%. 

But we don’t have any evidence to suggest that limiting saturated fat intake actually prevents heart disease. Plus, increasing saturated fat intakes from whole, real sources is unlikely to negatively affect heart health. If anything, it may improve it. 

That’s because some of the highest sources of saturated fat in the US are pizza and ice cream. Sandwiches, desserts, and sweet snacks aren’t far behind. These are ultra-processed foods that will have other, more serious ramifications (like spiking your blood sugar, for example). 

So what does this tell us? That whole, real foods like steak and eggs are not primary sources of saturated fat in the average American diet.

Demystifying saturated fat from whole, real food sources will play a substantial role in improving dietary quality and heart health.

What I’d like to see: A heart surgeon’s perspective on food guidelines

Contrary to popular belief, RFK Jr’s proposed dietary guidelines do not work adversarially to supporting heart health. I don’t say this flippantly, either: I am firmly dedicated to Making America Healthy Again, and will (and do) only support changes that match my research and opinions.

Here are the other components I would love to see added:

  • Firmer guidelines about alcohol consumption. Alcohol is not your friend, and it certainly doesn’t do any favors for your heart. Adding educational information about how drinking interacts with heart health could be extraordinarily beneficial to those wanting to reclaim their metabolic health.
  • A heavier emphasis on animal products. Many animal-based products make a world of difference in heart health maintenance and heart attack recovery. My hope is that the guidelines demystify animal products so they can become dietary staples instead of guilty pleasures. For example, eggs, milk, and ruminant meat such as beef, lamb, and venison.
  • Education about limiting carbohydrate intake. People deserve to know how carbohydrates affect their bodies, and how overconsumption can lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, and heart disease. While not everyone needs to follow a low-carb diet, adding some concise information about how to avoid unnecessary starches could be enormously effective in limiting overconsumption.

Time will tell what the guidelines contain. We don’t have long to wait: they’re slated for release no later than the end of this year.

As we wait for its release, I highly encourage you to perform research of your own. I’ve written quite a few guides covering nutrition and heart health you can use to get more information.

The Significance of Veteran’s Day

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the Armistice (truce) was signed by the Allies and Germany, thus halting the slaughter of the “Great War” or World War I. The official end of the war was declared at the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919. World War I demolished parts of Europe and inflicted massive casualties, yet some predicted that it would be the war to end all wars.

Lingering grievances from this war would partially fuel a more devastating World War II, but for now, peace was at hand. Participating nations began to pick up the pieces and honor those who had fought to strengthen liberty and stability.

Armistice Day (Remembrance Day to some U.S. allies) became an official holiday in 1938 through an act of Congress, which President Franklin Roosevelt endorsed. Following World War II and the Korean War, veterans fought to enlarge the significance of Armistice Day to include all veterans who had made sacrifices while serving their country.

President Dwight Eisenhower and Congress authorized changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 1954, to honor veterans of all the conflicts the United States had entered. Consequently, Veterans Day is more encompassing than Memorial Day, which primarily honors our fallen warriors.

“On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores to preserve our heritage of freedom and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of protecting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain,” Eisenhower said.

During the Revolutionary War against England, principled colonists signed on to the noble mission of independence and their God-given right to human freedom. From 1861 to 1865, Confederate and Union soldiers fought furiously in an epic Civil War. A Union victory forged greater equality for emancipated slaves and helped in the restoration of a fractured nation.

Countless soldiers fought under brutal conditions in World War I and lost their lives in the trenches of Flanders Fields. In World War II, millions of allies engaged the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific Ocean, and finally prevailed against their atrocities. During Korea’s “forgotten war,” allied forces battled the communists in the bitter cold at historic landmarks such as Chosin Reservoir and Heartbreak Ridge.

Regardless of our convictions regarding the Vietnam War, our troops struggled to keep South Vietnam free from totalitarian rule. Moreover, we ought to honor the valor of Brig. Gen. Bud Day, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Vice Adm. James Stockdale, and other prisoners of war who endured years of torture in the hellish Hoa Lo Prison, known as Hanoi Hilton, yet emerged with their honor intact.

Our military forces also fought the al-Qaeda terrorist group, the ISIS terrorist group, and the Taliban for several years in Afghanistan and Iraq. Currently, some of our air crews, sailors, and soldiers are stationed in the Middle East to help deter a wider conflagration initiated by Iran’s proxies.

Today, Veterans Day is a special day to commemorate all living and deceased veterans who heeded the call of duty and honorably served this great nation. This includes veterans missing in action, our wounded warriors, prisoners of war, and millions of living veterans who have served during peacetime or military conflicts.

“Elections, like presidents, come and go,“ President Ronald Reagan said on Veterans Day 1985. ”And always, our nation remains—due primarily to the courage and sacrifice of America’s veterans who exemplify and defend the ideals that the United States stands for.”

When recruits enter any branch of the armed forces, they are aware that future missions could thrust them into harm’s way. Yet they are willing to fight and die for the cause of human liberty. Who are these men and women? They are motivated yet ordinary individuals who, along with their families, make great sacrifices and endure extraordinary challenges. What higher commitment is there than to place one’s life on the line for humanity?

Our veterans are stationed around the globe providing disaster relief, battling terrorism, deterring aggressors, reassuring our allies, and striving to improve security in volatile regions. On this day and every day, let us be thankful for their service and pray for their safety and return home.

We should also pray that the armed forces’ mental, meritocratic, and physical standards are restored at the Pentagon to boost military capabilities and readiness. Moreover, service personnel should get the platforms and training necessary for mission success. Those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and our wounded warriors should receive the best help possible.

Our veterans understand that freedom is an ideal worth defending because there will always be tyrants who strive to subvert liberty, progress, and global security. By honoring our veterans, we demonstrate gratitude for their devotion to human dignity and freedom. Through their selfless service, we might better understand responsible liberty and be inspired to live with a higher purpose to build a more perfect union.

It’s pronounced Core, not Corpse, like America-hater Obama said in a speech.

What was your favorite subject in school?

What was your favorite subject in school?

I’d like to say that I was dedicated to a job goal in school, but I just tried to get good grades, like it or not. I was only interested in either getting into college or getting a job, but there wasn’t any subject that blew wind up my skirt.

I was small and the youngest kid in my class due to the birthday cut off, but I enjoyed PE class because it was a break from studying. It’s tough being the youngest and usually the smallest. Once I caught up to the other kids, I held my own and even kept up with the team athletes at the end.

It was the break from the monotony of class that made me enjoy it.

The valedictorian and salutatorian were in my chemistry class. They ruined the curve for everyone. The kids always messed with their experiments, and they could never figure out why they didn’t get the results that they were supposed to, although their write ups got them the A’s they strove for. Neither went anywhere in life.

The real smartest kid placed 3rd behind these two shrimp girls because he took weightlifting in PE and got a B, his only one ever. I give him credit for sticking his neck out in life. Straight A’s got a lot of people nowhere, but life lessons did.

Which brings me to my greatest learning in school. I had to try harder in everything. I was so young that social things, intuitive to others, were a hard learned lesson for me. It was tenacity over talent in everything. If I’d known that I was an introvert, I could have used my observation skills even more. What I did was just intuition back then.

So while it was the toughest subject for me, life was the class I studied the most. I had to figure everything out without someone to show me how. Like the Bob Seger song, I was working on mysteries without any clues. It was the best lesson I learned.

I wound up playing Tennis for my college, the only sport I made the team on. I was president of my fraternity and dated a cheerleader. None of that really mattered to me then. I expected it after all that I’d been through. I worked hard enough to get the job that opened doors to people and travel, and the success I’d defined for myself.

As it turns out, my 50th reunion was last weekend. I didn’t go because I never related to the other kids, or wanted to. They were just people I learned from, mostly what not to do or how to act.

At high school graduation, I vowed that I’d be more successful by any measurement. A few became actors, pro sports athletes, or a doctors here and there. As I’d come across their stories before I ditched Facebook, the pinnacle of life was high school for them. It was all downhill from there. I was just starting, but the seeds of motivation to succeed were planted and fertilized. I’d met my goal set way back in high school.

Life was the best class. It had nothing to do with the classroom.

I will say that my German teacher was hot and not that much older than me. Why didn’t they throw a high schooler a break like they do now?

Top 20 Theories on Why the EU Committed Cultural Suicide

From the Enlightenment salons of London and Edinburgh—where Locke defended religious liberty, Hume championed reason, and Mill enshrined free speech as the bulwark of progress—Britain once stood as the global beacon of true liberalism.

Today, however, mosques outnumber churches in major cities, no-go zones appear in police reports, and citizens are jailed for X posts while riots erupt over immigrant crime.

How did this occur?

The following 20 theories, drawn from academic studies, parliamentary debates, and public discourse, explain how successive UK and EU governments permitted mass Islamic migration—at the expense of its own constituents.

  1. The “Eurabia” conspiracy: Globalist entities, led by French and Arab powers in collaboration with the EU, deliberately engineered mass Muslim immigration to Islamize Europe, submerging it through higher birth rates and cultural dominance, incompatible with secular traditions. en.wikipedia.org
  2. Great Replacement theory: Political elites in the UK and EU orchestrated or allowed uncontrolled Muslim migration to replace white European populations ethnically and culturally, eroding Christian and liberal values through demographic shifts. en.wikipedia.org
  3. Soros-funded plot: Billionaire George Soros and associated globalists financed

mass Muslim immigration to destabilize European nations, fostering chaos that undermines national identities and traditional values. prio.org

Deliberate Labour policy in the UK: From 2000 onward, UK governments under Labour intentionally opened borders to mass immigration, including from Islamic countries, to diversify society, but this led to cultural clashes and integration failures. migrationwatchuk.org

Secret Islamicisation agenda: Muslim immigration is part of a covert plan to make Muslims the majority in the UK and EU, incompatible with Western freedoms, as believed by a third of Brexit voters. independent.co.uk

Clash of civilizations narrative: EU and UK leaders underestimated inherent incompatibilities between Islamic values and European secularism, allowing migration that fuels cultural conflicts and extremism. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Dhimmitude submission: Europe surrendered to Islam via immigration policies, forcing denial of its own culture and acceptance of Muslim norms, seen as tribute to avoid atrocities. populismstudies.org

Hidden migration truths: Governments in the UK and EU deliberately conceal high levels of Muslim immigration, leading to demographic bombs that threaten traditional European lifestyles. hoover.org

Globalist multi-group conspiracy: Communists, fascists, media, and EU bureaucrats collude to promote Muslim immigration, eroding national sovereignty and values. en.wikipedia.org

Birthrate weaponization: Muslim immigrants use higher fertility rates as a demographic tool, encouraged by lax EU/UK policies, to outnumber natives and impose incompatible religious practices. en.wikipedia.org

Euro-Arab Dialogue betrayal: Historical agreements between Europe and Arab nations facilitated mass migration, leading to Islamization that clashes with Enlightenment ideals. populismstudies.org

Political elite detachment: UK and EU leaders, disconnected from public concerns, pursued open borders for economic gain, ignoring cultural incompatibilities like Sharia influences. direct.mit.edu

Refugee crisis exploitation: Post-2015 policies exploited humanitarian pretexts to allow unchecked Muslim inflows, fostering no-go zones incompatible with European safety norms. theguardian.com

Values-based integration failure: Shift to values-based citizenship post-October

  1. 7, 2023, highlighted pre-existing incompatibilities, but migration continued due to elite denial. mdpi.com
  2. Brexit-linked Islamophobia: EU membership enabled migration seen as a plot to dilute British identity, with conspiracies tying it to Muslim majority goals. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
  3. Media and academic suppression: Elites in media and universities suppress debates on incompatibilities, allowing migration to proceed unchecked. researchgate.net
  4. Economic tribute theory: Europe pays economic aid to Muslim countries in exchange for migration flows, leading to cultural submission. en.wikipedia.org
  5. Far-right recruitment vulnerability: Policies ignore local disillusionment, allowing migration that fuels perceptions of threat to cultural identity. researchgate.net
  6. Homogenization of Muslims: Leaders treat diverse Muslim immigrants as a monolith, ignoring basic incompatibilities with Western values like gender equality and tolerance of other religions. globsec.org
  7. Post-colonial encouragement: Historical ties led to encouraged immigration from Islamic regions, but without requisite integration processes, resulting in value clashes and societal division. reddit.com

As Britain’s historic liberties erode under the weight of unintegrated multiculturalism, the United States stands at the same crossroads.

Open borders without assimilation, the elites’ denial of cultural incompatibility, “suicidal empathy” (as author Gad Saad calls it), and the weaponization of “tolerance” against native traditions have already begun to mirror Europe’s path.

If America ignores Europe’s lessons—when a nation like the UK that once ruled a quarter of the globe now polices prayer and prosecutes memes—it will find itself at the same crossroads.

Peace now. War later.

13 Things Introverts Find ‘Horrifying’

1. When people call — and a text or email would have been more than sufficient.

As an introvert, I am frightened by people who call when a text or email would be more than sufficient. There is a certain anxiety that comes with an open-ended conversation, since phone conversations are expected to take longer than the 10 seconds necessary to transmit the information. This anxiety is compounded by the lack of visual cues during a phone call that are vital to us introverts, but are often summarily ignored by extroverts. 

–Steve

2. Not being able to exit an intense social setting.

The thing that horrifies me the most is not being able to exit an intense social setting. If I am somewhere and don’t have an out, my stress level skyrockets. I need to know that I have a way to step out or leave so I can recharge. 

–Lou

3. Networking events. Period.

Networking events are made for extroverts who gain energy by being around people and engaging with them. However, for most introverts, networking events are generally uncomfortable and terrifying — we find it hard to be open and let strangers into our lives. We are atrocious at small talk, and it is challenging to establish rapport with new people. For us, networking is definitely out of our comfort zone and ranks as one the top scary things for introverts.

–Albert

4. Being put on the spot.

My biggest fear is of being put on the spot to say something in a group or public setting when I’m not prepared. That feeling of all eyes turning to me to say something off-the-cuff really makes me uncomfortable! 

–Jen

5. Two words that strike intense fear into my heart are “overnight stay.”

I may be an introvert, but I love people. I can have a great time seeing friends and family and love spending time together over a few drinks and board games. But if we need to stay overnight? That’s when anxiety sets in. Keeping up the social energy in the morning, not knowing when we’ll be able to duck out and find some respite — these thoughts embed themselves into the back of my mind, which makes socializing that much harder.

–Mike

6. First dates terrify me. 

First dates terrify me because of my aversion to small talk and awkward silences. I can talk to someone online, no problem, but face-to-face? I make very weird small talk because I’m nervous. The terror is, I see the date and he’s not who I’m interested in when I meet him in person. Then I just want to leave as quickly as possible, so the small talk becomes even more painful. I just sit there, in anxious terror, and blurt out the first thing that comes into my head, whether it’s appropriate or not. 

Prime example: I went out on a one-date-wonder a few years ago. We met for lunch, he didn’t appeal to me in person, awkward silence ensued. The only thing I thought to say was: “Armadillos are the only other mammal that contract leprosy from humans.” (I learned that factoid in fifth grade and who would have thought it’d stick with me 35 years later?!) He looked at me in horror and I fled. I never heard from him again — whew!

–Lisa

7. Public speaking scares me to death. 

Any sort of public speaking scares me to death as someone who is basically a career introvert. It doesn’t matter if I’m leading a meeting of three participants or speaking to a larger audience, the thought of being the center of attention in any way, shape, or form truly terrifies me. It’s kind of like a fear of heights — you don’t understand it truly unless you suffer from it. All of the workarounds don’t seem to work, and I just manage it by avoiding it as much as possible. 

–David

8. Getting trapped in a social commitment that goes on for hours.

There’s nothing more frightening than getting trapped in a social commitment that can prolong for hours (like public speaking or large parties). I prefer shorter engagements when my energy levels are higher, but once things drag on, it becomes impossible to focus and incredibly uncomfortable! 

–Sara

9. Having roommates — thus having to be social all the time — is an introvert’s worst nightmare.

The one thing that scares me a lot is living with my friends permanently. While I enjoy socializing, after a while, I am mentally drained and need time to recharge. If I had to live with friends, I’d feel obligated to be social all the time and that would be mentally stressful for me as an introvert because I wouldn’t have “space” to get away from them. You’re stuck living in the same place, and I feel that would be pretty unbearable.

–Roger

10. My biggest fear is being embarrassed.

As an introvert who avoids social interaction at nearly all costs, my biggest fear is being embarrassed. When I’m in public, I usually become solely focused on how I look to other people, what others think of me, and the assumptions they make of me. In the past, it’s affected everything from the way that I walk to the comments I make to even the tone of my voice. It can be kind of brutal, but it’s something I’ve learned to deal with. Staying out of the public eye seems to help with that.

–Mike

11. I feel my introversion can scare off a romantic partner.

One thing that scares me is that being introverted and very independent could cause damage to my relationship or scare them off. 

–Lauren

12. I fear being alone forever because of my introversion.

We all need love and companionship, but as an introvert, I don’t like feeling like I have to compete for “airtime” in social gatherings. I love my alone time, but still want a solid group of loved ones. 

–Tolu

13. I find it horrifying when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.”

I call myself an introvert, as I am someone who enjoys alone time, would rather stay home than go to a party on weekends, and I regain energy by spending time away from people. 

The one thing that terrifies me is when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.” Though we introverts tend to be team players — as we are all about deep work and being invested in the goals of the group — when it comes to group or team activities, it scares us. Team-building exercises involve interacting with people, small talk, and, in some cases, having the spotlight on you alone. These are all things my introverted self dreads and runs away from.

Source

12 doesn’t bother me, and I pretty much have gotten over being embarrassed, but the rest are true. I have to face number 5 on Thanksgiving with a houseful of extroverts.

I got told that I have to take care of some adolescents that I’m related to next summer and the anxiety has already set in.

The German Economy – Stellantis Expands In The US, As Germany’s Deindustrialization Accelerates

If you do everything you can to make it difficult to work, it will go somewhere else. It’s like space that abhors a vacuum. As you’ll read, it’s not just Germany

Automotive giant Stellantis is expanding its U.S. operations. Any sign of an investment turnaround in Germany, which Chancellor Friedrich Merz touted just weeks ago, is nowhere to be seen.

Investment Freeze at Stellantis – in Germany at Least 

The European carmaker, home to brands like Opel, Peugeot, and Citroën, is turning away from its European sites. On Monday, Stellantis announced it will invest $13 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, increasing American production by 50%. The expansion will create 5,000 new jobs across plants in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.

Stellantis said it would resume operations at its plant in Belvidere, Ill

The concrete impact on German production remains unclear. Stellantis offered no comments on potential layoffs, but it’s safe to assume significant parts of production will shift to the U.S. in the coming years. High energy costs and U.S. tariffs likely influenced this decision.

CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized that this largest investment in company history will create American jobs and systematically expand U.S. manufacturing. The U.S. will now be Stellantis’ top priority.

Germany Avoided 

Stellantis’ damning verdict, especially for its German production sites, is just the tip of the iceberg in an accelerated capital flight from Germany. Major German automakers are increasingly relocating production abroad: BMW to Debrecen, Hungary—and Mercedes-Benz to Kecskemét, Hungary.

Industry is abandoning Germany. The manufacture of energy-intensive products, electrical engineering, machinery, and raw materials is no longer profitable under current conditions. It seems almost comical—if it weren’t so tragic—when Minister of Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche, noting Germany’s lack of competitiveness, forms a task force to develop strategies out of the crisis.

A quick ten-second search on „Grok“ could illuminate the issues—the problems are already well known.

The Green Deal Remains the Golden Calf 

Meanwhile, Chancellor Merz made clear during the EU summit that all options are being considered—except tackling the root cause: the grotesque European climate policy that largely triggered this industrial collapse.

The reflexive defense of Brussels’ climate consensus under all circumstances shows Berlin fully understands what’s driving Germany’s economic collapse. Yet the government pins its last hope on a massive debt package that will pour roughly €50 billion in additional annual spending across the country. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil expressed hope at the UN summit that private industry will invest now that the state is taking the lead.

The response should be: far from it, Mr. Minister. You misread economic reality. The fact that U.S. chipmaker Intel rejected a €10 billion subsidy to set up in Magdeburg shows the problems run much deeper—and cannot be fixed with handouts. Keynesian “voodoo economics” has reached its limits. Germany is on sale; industrial investors have already passed judgment.

Rust Belt on the Horizon 

Political ignorance will cost dearly. Losing the industrial base triggers massive societal distortions. Recent industrial history provides several illustrative examples: the decline of the English textile industry, Argentina’s machinery sector—or closer to home, the collapse of coal and steel in the Ruhr.

Left behind are true Rust Belts, as in the U.S. Detroit, once America’s wealthiest city, fell as its auto industry collapsed, allowing other hubs, particularly in Japan and China, to rise.

The industrial foundation is key to understanding economy and prosperity. Statistically, one industrial job creates four or five additional jobs in supply chains, services, and consumption. Industrial jobs are typically above-average paying; losing them sparks a chain reaction of social and economic decay.

UK as a Case Study 

The U.K. provides a textbook case. Once at the peak of global industrial output, the empire financed massive overseas infrastructure projects. Imperial overstretch followed, investments collapsed, and industrial decline set in. Other industrial centers, notably the U.S., rose.

Left behind was the City of London: a global financial hub surrounded by a powerful insurance architecture across former empire trade routes. A dual society emerged: the finance center exercising global influence, and “Little Britain,” trapped in poverty. Could Germany face the same fate, minus colonial flows of finance and power?

Time Window Closing 

Currently, around 5.4 million Germans still work in industry—autos, machinery, electrical engineering. Since 2018, their number has fallen by roughly 250,000. Industrial output has dropped by an average of 23%, representing at least €35 billion in lost annual value creation.

There is still time to counteract—so far, mostly lower-value production has been outsourced or shut. There is still time to preserve both Germany’s industrial and social foundations in urban regions.

Yet deindustrialization now shows on the municipal level. Regions dependent on autos are seeing local finances collapse amid the catastrophe facing German carmakers. Too much responsibility is centralized; now funds for schools, kindergartens, cultural institutions, and hospitals are missing. Cities like Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, once automotive strongholds, are fiscally drained.

With industry also disappears private patronage. Germany is losing its millionaires and economically successful elite faster than ever. This year, at least 400 wealthy individuals will likely leave, removing over €2 billion in private capital.

Last year, €64.5 billion in corporate direct investment was shifted abroad—much of it to the U.S. This is capital translating directly into economic activity, not stock market circulation.

History teaches: if elites lose faith in a society or business location, social crisis inevitably grows from that vacuum.

That’s A Lot Of Fishsticks

9-Foot-Long Wels Catfish Caught In Poland To Set New World Record

When it comes to the biggest freshwater fish species on the planet, the Wels catfish is one of the largest. The current International Game Fish Association (IGFA) weight world record for a Wels catfish is 297 pounds and nine ounces, which was caught in 2010 on the River Po in Italy.

It’s not known how much a nine-footer recently caught in Poland weighs, but it should now hold the length world record, per fishing news outlet Wired2Fish.

Previously, the Wels catfish world record length was 285 centimeters. The newly caught fish measured in at 292 centimeters, which puts it at 9.6 feet long. (RELATED: Wild Video Shows Orcas Flipping Over, Slicing Open Great White Sharks To Devour Their Livers)

Video of the gargantuan fish started circulating on social media following two Polish Angling Academy anglers hauling it in, Wired2Fish reported. The feat was accomplished amid a fishing tournament that was taking place in southern Poland on the Rybnik Reservoir.

Did We Just Win the Vietnam War?

I was all set to be drafted when the war ended. The win streak for the US was over because of the media.

The Tet Offensive had just happened, and the insiders on the ground knew it was successful. We could have marched into Hanoi and won the war very shortly afterward, but the liberal media interfered.

Walter Cronkite reported that it was a failure, causing LBJ not to run for re-election. He said that if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost America. He didn’t know that Walter lied, and we could have been months away from stopping communism and saving millions of lives. After America pulled out, those we were protecting were murdered. It is the same story every time Communism takes over.

When my friends came home, they were treated horribly by the anti-war crowd who believed the same lies that LBJ did. I didn’t get drafted and moved on in life.

UNTIL NOW – We may have turned that Loss into a Win

Half a century after America’s withdrawal, Vietnam has quietly vindicated U.S. sacrifice—abandoning Marxism for nationalism and embracing the very ideals America once defended.

Over 50 years since America’s withdrawal from the Vietnam War, history has legitimized and vindicated its sacrifice in the Vietnam War.

While few Americans have noticed, Vietnam’s new General Secretary of the Communist Party, To Lam, has replaced Marxist-Leninism as the Party’s governing ideology with something more authentically Vietnamese: Truong Ton Dan Toc, or “Vietnamese nationalism.”

That is a bombshell. Hanoi has just abandoned its Communist ideology, which governed it since 1954 and sustained it in its wars against the United States and its ally South Vietnam, and with its Communist neighbors, Cambodia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Marxist-Leninism came to the Vietnamese from France. Thus, Communist Vietnam was actually a neocolonial state, its ideology imported from Europe to rule the Vietnamese, first in the North and, after 1975, the entire country. Now freed from the yoke of Communism, the Vietnamese have returned to the nationalism that was theirs all along.

In his speech on April 27, 2025, To Lam presented his party as one dedicated to Vietnamese nationalism, not Marxist-Leninism, saying that honor will always be given to those who sacrificed for the Vietnamese people’s “happiness and prosperity” and “their truong ton and development.” He added that, today, all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—have the same ancestral mother, Au Co, and are equally “children of dragons and grandchildren of angels,” and affirmed that all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—should contribute to the future of “their” people, not to the imposition of an ideology.

To Lam called for a new Vietnam, for a new era in Vietnamese history, one possessing “peace, wealth, civilized education, development, and pure Vietnameseness.”

A few days later, on May 4, 2025, the Politburo of the Vietnamese Communist Party adopted Resolution 68, putting private enterprise at the center of economic development. The resolution gave responsibility for national wealth creation to self-management, self-effort, and self-empowerment. The rights of private property will be guaranteed and protected. The Vietnamese state will henceforth “serve and support” private enterprise and not contradict the “principles of the market.”

Finally, on October 6, 2025, in remarks opening the 14th session of the Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam made no mention of Marxist-Leninism and only one passing reference to “markets oriented towards socialism.” Rather, again, he emphasized “strategic self-mastery, self-effort, and self-empowerment” as the Party’s chosen path to a prosperous Vietnam.

In his remarks closing the session, To Lam doubled down on his new vision for a non-Communist, truly Vietnamese Vietnam. Democracy must be guaranteed with discipline and transparency, with elections as broad-based politics to earn the trust of the people. Private enterprise must be pushed forward for national development. The benefit of the people must become the objective of the government’s new economic policy. Finally, dogma, meaning turgid Communist dogma, must be eliminated.

In short, To Lam’s vision for Vietnam has no substantial difference from that vision of our South Vietnamese allies half a century ago.

More importantly for Americans today, Lam’s vision is not dissimilar from the moral orientation of American policy towards South Vietnam. It was not by coincidence that in October 1954, President Eisenhower identified just such Vietnamese nationalism as providing principled justification for his decision to defend South Vietnam against Communist aggression. Eisenhower wrote to South Vietnam’s then-prime minister that the Saigon government “would, I hope, be so responsive to the nationalist aspirations of its people, so enlightened in purpose and effective in performance, that it will be respected both at home and abroad and discourage any who might wish to impose a foreign ideology on your free people.”

Thus, the Communists in Hanoi today have adopted the values that the Americans defended, the ancestral values of the Vietnamese people.

In the end, Vietnamese nationalism won the war against Communism. Hanoi’s war against South Vietnam, which took the lives of over 1.5 million Vietnamese, was never necessary but was driven by the hyper-aggressive ideology of Communism. Despite the long ideological chokehold Communism held over the Vietnamese, it was a far weaker force than Vietnamese nationalism.

Beyond Vietnam, there are two important implications of Vietnam’s evolution.

First, Vietnam’s path may serve as a model for the PRC. Perhaps one day soon, China may undergo a similar path, shedding the evils of a Communist government for one reflective of the wishes and the political culture and history of the Chinese people.

Second, we Americans can now hold our heads high about the Vietnam War: we were on the right side of history after all. We knew who was right and who was wrong from the start. The American experience in Vietnam was completely in accord with the broader American experience in history: we are a very good people, brave, loyal, and selfless. While the Vietnam War contains countless tragedies, perhaps none was greater for Americans than the mistaken belief that it was a senseless war or one fought in opposition to Vietnamese nationalism. It was fought for the Vietnamese people against an evil ideology, and ultimately, victory was won.

A Steep Price To Pay Just To Get Laid, Why Buckingham Palace Decided to Get Rid of Andrew

LONDON—In recent days, King Charles III moved decisively to shut down a slow-burning scandal that threatened to tarnish not only his reign but that of his son Prince William.

For over a decade, the former friendship between Charles’s younger brother Andrew and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein generated negative headlines, embarrassing the royal family. Andrew had long denied he abused an American teenage girl introduced to him by Epstein decades ago, but a drumbeat of fresh disclosures in recent weeks brought the scandal back to Britain’s front pages, sparking fresh public disapproval and complaints from lawmakers about the man 8th in line to the throne. 

Editors note: There is no pussy in the world worth this, even the smallest part of this. Only an ego that thought he was untouchable caused him to lose control of his dick.

After several days of negotiations, Charles and his brother finally agreed on terms Thursday afternoon, according to royal aides, and within hours the news was made public: Prince Andrew would be stripped of his royal status and relegated to simply Mr. Mountbatten Windsor. He would also lose the mansion where he lived and paid no rent. In exchange, Charles would pay for his brother to live in a far more modest house on the family’s holiday estate of Sandringham.

Despite the move, the debacle is likely to hang over the family for years to come. There has always been salacious gossip about the royal family, and misbehaving royals, but this time it felt much worse. 

“I don’t remember a scandal like this,” says Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine. “It’s not going to make it go away, the more people talk about it the more people get involved,” Seward said, adding the last time the monarchy was hit with this level of turmoil was when Charles divorced his first wife, Diana. 

The demotion could, however, take the oxygen out of those who criticize the palace for being too lenient in their treatment of Andrew, royal watchers say. “I’m not sure it will completely satisfy the public disquiet but it’s at least something,” Andrew Lownie, the historian and author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told the BBC. 

Traditionally, the royal family has a policy of not complaining or explaining when faced with scandal. For years a mixture of protocol and family ties made the monarchy reluctant to fully swing the ax on Andrew, royal experts say. The dashing former helicopter pilot was widely considered his mother’s favorite son and courtiers said Queen Elizabeth II didn’t want to take steps to fully humiliate him. Stripping royal titles was something reserved for those who committed near treasonable offenses or no longer considered part of the extended royal clan. 

This position changed after Charles came to the throne. The monarch, who is 76 and continues to fight cancer, is expected to have a relatively short reign during which his main legacy is to bequeath a monarchy on a strong footing to his popular son Prince William, who has long urged the palace to take more decisive action against his disgraced uncle. 

It is uncertain what life now awaits Andrew. He is expected to leave his 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate in the coming months. He has lived there with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson, but she won’t be joining him at Sandringham, leaving her to fend for herself.

The windswept rural Sandringham Estate is a far cry from Windsor, which is close to London. It remains to be seen whether Andrew, who is used to having a full staff and valet, will now be expected to cook his own meals. The palace has simply said that the king will provide for his brother from his private funds. 

Two recent events made Andrew’s position untenable. His accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide this year, and has posthumously published a memoir in recent weeks detailing how Andrew allegedly had sex with her on three separate occasions, including during an orgy with Epstein. The book was filled with tawdry details, such as an anecdote about how Andrew licked the arches of her feet and shared a bath with her. Secondly, the British press published emails that showed Andrew was emailing Epstein in 2011, well after the royal had claimed he had cut ties with him. 

Rest of the story

Their parents were cousins, so I’m not surprised at the behavior (or that this is all we know so far). Let’s not forget that Harry gave up a lifetime of fame and money, yachts, Castles, Servants, and the life of luxury, because his American wife felt offended. She went in looking to be offended, and Harry was stupid enough to go along with it and then trash his country. King Chuckles promotes Islam and the climate hoax. A lot of people can’t wait for William to take over. The Queen was so much better than this lot.

I believe the British word is wanker, although on this one it could be plonker.

I guess it’s really tough to be a Royal, if that is what you can call them anymore.

Sexy Nurses, Naughty Cops And Playboy Bunnies: The Halloween Dilemma Haunting Men For All Eternity

It’s a debate as old as Halloween itself.

Is it acceptable for a woman, particularly a woman in a relationship, to dress up for Halloween in a skimpy, provocative costume? We all know the kind of which I speak. The naughty cop who struts around with handcuffs. The sexy nurse. The Playboy Bunny. The devil horns, crop-top, mini skirt trifecta. At what point should women retire the slutty Halloween costumes?

There are many sides to this debate. Some women believe they should be able to dress up in whatever manner they see fit, even if their costume makes a Moscow escort blush, and even if they are in a relationship. Others believe that when they are single, they can pull out all the stops. But once they have a man, they need to get more creative and pick a costume that isn’t simply bunny ears with a bikini, or opt for a couple’s costume. Finally, there are the conservative women who always take the goofy and/or clever route, like wearing a giant inflatable dinosaur costume, no matter their relationship status.

Halloween only gets complicated for men when their girlfriend or spouse dresses up in an extremely provocative manner. There are men who don’t want to come across as jealous or controlling, and will bottle up their insecurity even when their girlfriend leaves the house looking like Hugh Hefner’s cocktail waitress. Some men actually don’t care, and maybe even like it when their girlfriend leaves literally nothing to the imagination. Others won’t put up with it at all.

Here’s my take on the timeless debate: you are never going to stop adult women from dressing slutty on Halloween; it’s impossible. They’ve been doing it forever. And obviously, I’m talking about adult women. Parents should be ashamed if their teenage daughters are trick-or-treating while looking like OnlyFans harlots.

Can Father’s Pass On Their Fitness To Their Children?

We’re told we get our mitochondria from our moms, and that’s true.

In humans, mitochondrial DNA is almost exclusively maternally inherited. Sperm mitochondria do enter the egg, but they’re typically tagged for destruction—marked and cleared by mitophagy so the embryo keeps mom’s mitochondrial line.

But even though mitochondrial DNA comes from mom, dad’s workouts before conception may still shape a child’s endurance capacity and metabolic health, not by passing on his mitochondria, but by sending tiny sperm microRNA messages that tune early embryonic gene regulation.

In a new study, exercising fathers produced offspring with greater endurance and more mitochondria, an effect that tracked to sperm small RNAs that suppress a “molecular brake” on PGC-1α, the classic mitochondrial biogenesis switch.

The findings reframe preconception health as a two-parent story—mom supplies the mitochondria, but dad’s training status can still program how those mitochondria are used.

Untrained offspring inherit their father’s fitness

For the study, male mice completed 8 weeks of progressive endurance exercise training on a treadmill, a program that successfully enhanced their fitness. Compared to their untrained peers, they were leaner, had higher bone mineral density, superior endurance, greater energy expenditure, increased mitochondrial abundance, more fatigue-resistance type I muscle fibers, and (at the molecular level), increased expression of PGC-1α—the master metabolic regulator.

This better fitness and endurance showed up in their offspring. When male mice trained before conception, their offspring (who never trained) ran longer and farther (with lower post-exercise lactate levels) than mice from sedentary fathers, and their leg muscles looked like those of trained mice, with more slow-twitch/oxidative fibers, higher mitochondrial enzyme activity, and visibly more mitochondria.

They also mirrored their fathers’ body composition, with higher lean mass, lower fat mass, and improved bone mineral density compared to offspring of sedentary fathers. Metabolically, endurance-trained offspring exhibited higher oxygen consumption and burned more calories throughout the day.

Put on a high-fat diet, offspring of exercising fathers had better blood sugar control than those of sedentary fathers. Skeletal muscle was pinpointed as the main driver. Their muscles pulled in more glucose, stored more glycogen, showed stronger insulin signaling, and had more of the glucose transporter GLUT4.

Endurance capacity (B and C) and energy expenditure (D) in offspring of sedentary (blue) and endurance-trained (red) male mice.

PGC-1α’s crucial role

A complementary experiment showed the same effect without any treadmill training.

Fathers engineered to overexpress PGC-1α—the muscle’s “fitness switch”—passed on endurance benefits even when the transgene wasn’t inherited. Offspring that did inherit the transgene had a 31% higher peak VO₂ than controls, and even the wild-type littermates (whose fathers overexpressed PGC-1α but who lacked the gene themselves) showed a 14% increase in peak VO₂. Even when pups did not inherit the genetic tweak, they still showed the endurance and mitochondrial advantages, set up through a non-genetic mechanism.

Small sperm RNAs carry the message

Researchers isolated RNA from the sperm of exercising fathers and injected it into normal embryos. This alone recreated the full package of fitness and metabolic benefits in otherwise standard offspring, who had a leaner body composition, better endurance, and more mitochondria in their muscle.

The tiny RNAs worked by dialing down an embryonic brake called NCoR1, a corepressor that acts as a brake on PGC-1α-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. Exercise and elevated PGC-1α in fathers produced a shared signature of altered sperm microRNAs, several of which target NCoR1.

Injecting just one of those microRNAs (miR-148a-3p) into standard embryos reduced embryonic NCoR1 and was enough to produce adult mice with higher endurance and more oxidative muscle.

Body weight (B) and glucose tolerance (C and D) in offspring from sedentary (blue) and endurance-trained (red) male mice fed a high-fat diet.

­
Fitness-forward genes are conserved in humansTo test whether this pathway shows up in people, the researchers compared trained and untrained men. The trained group had markedly higher aerobic capacity (VO₂max of ~63 vs. ~53), confirming a meaningful endurance phenotype before looking at sperm biology.
They then profiled the same exercise-responsive sperm microRNAs highlighted in the mouse experiments. Of the ten miRNAs consistently elevated after paternal exercise or PGC-1α activation in mice, seven are conserved in humans and all of them were significantly higher in sperm from the trained men.
Is that amount of microRNA enough to matter at fertilization? Maybe. The study estimated ~830 vs. ~2,779 copies per sperm in sedentary vs. exercised males. Prior work suggests ~100 copies per cell can repress targets—so these amounts are plausibly active during the earliest embryonic stages.
In short: endurance training is associated with the same conserved sperm-miRNA pattern in humans and exercised mice, making it biologically plausible that a father’s training status before conception could influence early embryonic gene regulation (even though child outcomes weren’t measured in this study).

The importance of parental exercise

Unsurprisingly, most of the research on parental habits and childhood health has focused on the role of the mother before and during pregnancy—her body weight, what she eats and drinks, and other lifestyle habits she engages in or avoids. That’s especially true when it comes to exercise. The role of the father, however, is a bit more hazy.

For moms, randomized controlled studies show that exercise during pregnancy reduces the risk of pregnancy complications (macrosomia, abnormal vaginal delivery, C-section) and lowers the odds of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preeclampsia—which pose short- and long-term health risks for mother and newborn.[1][2] There’s also possibly autonomic and neurodevelopmental advantages, for example, better language and cognitive development in children at age 2 and 5 if their mothers exercised regularly.[3]

For dads, human evidence is limited to molecular-level studies such as the one discussed today—we don’t have much information on long-term outcomes after paternal exercise, even though the mechanistic plausibility is there.

But we do know that fitness can be passed down. VO2 max trainability (how much one can improve their fitness via training) is estimated to have 47% heritability, and even endurance performance measures like lactate threshold show significant parent-offspring resemblance—highly trainable and fit parents are likely to have fitter, highly trainable kids.[4][5] Part of this is environmental, but part is also genetic. It’s not just fitness either—parents (particularly fathers) who are highly active have children who are more likely to be highly physically active throughout childhood and into adulthood. While this might reflect modeled lifestyle habits rather than inheritance per se, there’s likely a genetic component at play too.
