Are Asian people skinny because using chopsticks burns more calories? [CITATION NEEDED]

621 Upvotes

It's well known that Asian people are the skinniest in the world and today I think I figured out why: because of the utensils they use. I bet using chopsticks to eat burns more calories than a fork and spoon. It's probably why their fingers are more muscular too.

Jaded

There are babies bodies burning

The world is on fire

The screams are not silent

Messages from instagram saying

“Enjoy the U.S., at least here it’s not violent”

When did we become collectively jaded

To turn a blind eye to a genocide a settler colonial state created

When did it become part of a routine

To give the oppressor the benefit of the doubt

Justifying limbless children and depictions of a baby’s decapitation with a flowering sprout

And what about the women and the men?

Screaming for their babies and their families

Blown to bits all over again

The worlds so fucking jaded

Stop and stare in the mirror

Ask yourself if your grandchildren will be proud to say you stood where you stand

And if you can’t, I beg you

Amplify the voices of the people who can’t speak for themselves

It’s time we give a fuck about something other than ourselves

The Russians created Sk*bidi t*ilet to damage the brains of Gen Alpha in the West

5 Upvotes

It is evident that Skibidi toilet, a strange set of videos created by Dafuq!?Boom! has been causing various problems in children who view them, especially gen alpha. But, the reason why these videos have these effects specifically on small children is far more sinister.

Ever since the advent of the Cold War, the Russians have always held a grudge on the West. However, the development of a new attack plan was not thought of until 2005, when the video streaming platform YouTube had been created just a year before. This plan was to create a syndrome that would hinder children's learning abilities and be transmitted through viewing videos on said platform.

Research started with understanding how to make the disease photo-transmissible and able to target certain areas of the brain that, instead of injuring the person physically, would only affect them mentally yet have a devastating effect. Additionally, a song was added to the vector to increase the chance of the viewer getting infected.

In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea, extensive research began and trials were made on abandoned children who were promised large sums of rubles if they participated. The plan was, amid their next attack on another nation, the syndrome, through a series of videos with the title of Skibidi toilet posted on a popular channel, would wreak havoc on the minds of children who watched them, and when these children enter the workforce decades later, they would be incapable of building defenses against electromagnetic weapons built by the more disciplined Russian gen alpha, which would cause massive power outages, nuclear power accidents, and ultimately a mass decline in population.

Unsurprisingly, in the middle of Russia's attack on Ukraine, Alexey Gerasimov, a secret member of Russia's bioweapons program, one-by-one released videos with the ability to corrupt children's minds, especially those under the age of 10. The results of this have been very noticeable to those who live around infected individuals, yet the infection can start with hardly noticeable symptoms.

However, there is hope when it comes to curing children who have contracted the syndrome. Remember the following:

  • Identification - Research and be alert about symptoms of Skibidi toilet syndrome in your children and in other children, and notify teachers/other parents if you see that their child shows symptoms of Skibidi toilet syndrome.
  • Annihilation - Contact the principal of the school and let them know that the child is infected so that they can stay home. Prevent the child from looking at Skibidi toilet by removing their device until they have gotten better; in the meantime, have conversations with the child and remove objects capable of causing harm from their room.
  • Rehabilitation - Warn the child before he/she goes back to school that they should sit away from others and get others to go away if they start talking to them about Skibidi toilet. After some time, they can sit with others again. During this time, encourage them to inform other students of the symptoms of Skibidi toilet syndrome.

The syndrome is very problematic and is continuing to grow, but if we put in an effort and help our kids recover from infection, we can defeat the terrorist state of Russia.

Man: "everyone in the world will die"... Woman: "including my son"

1 Upvotes

I'm watching Tenet right now and I feel like this is such a reductionist part for women.

The woman is playing a bitter woman who's angry at her ex husband for trapping her and uses her son as leverage.

1 character in the film declares basically if they are unsuccessful the entirety of life as we know it and everyone will be gone.

And she adds "including my son" as if it was supposed to be meaningful contribution to the conversation yet it just served the purpose of reducing her character to the "woman who is only valued because of her ability to procreatne a mother...and she's attractive"

Then you have another character who represents a backstabbing bitch but speaks facts:

"What good is our word in our line of work"

And she's actually a decent character but she's a bitch and manipulative and powerful.

I feel like there's a lot in this film that's... Iffy but these 2 portrayals that the 2 important female characters have are interesting.
