This better not awaken anything in me

One major factor: women entered the workforce. Labor supply doubled, and two incomes per household became normalized. Our current economic system fails to account for the work of raising children which was implicitely built into the "traditional family" model.

That's a double whammy for workers. The value of labor is halved. Both partners are expected to work to achieve a similar standard of living. And, without one partner doing household and child-rearing labor, those costs are borne by the workers.

Interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

How is that better than a database? Is someone concerned that Walmart will fabricate supply chain tracking?

Can you name another technology that has such a high hype to delivered value ratio?

Dab pen and spice jars.

That's basically enough to start a religion in medieval times. Spices to finance a nice temple, and dabs to create a religious experience forc prophets who testify to the power of the faith.

Interesting - thanks for sharing! My opinion is definitely no more than anecdotal.

Of course there is. I mean, not at Meta, but as a general concept it exists.

Yes, there is absolutely a difference. And yes, loose vagina is worse.

I'm no biologist, but my perception is that the baseline is set by hip width (wider hips --> more loose) but much more important is physical fitness. Strengthening the diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor quickly elevates the experience and makes the baseline irrelevant.

I'm a big fan of Always Sunny, but not much outside of that.

My take on it is this: it's a movie about being a nobody with small, kind of pedestrian life goals, in a time when everyone is trying to be famous and we are inundated by media and celebrity. Everyone in the movie tries to make themselves the main character, except for the actual protagonist.

The most essential question of the film, at a literal and existential level, is this: who is this story about?

I agree completely!
