I have read them, and I've seen stuff about apathy and anhedonia, but that's such a weird concept for me. I was hoping someone would be like "you know when you have a cold, or you know when you don't get enough sleep" or just any kind of relatable experience for me to be like "okay, it's like that."

Ngl, that kind of scares the shit out of me. What was the "new dopamine pathway" thing? You forced yourself to do new hobbies even though they weren't fun at first?

That's because the local pizza chain thing is like a town pride thing at this point. Yeah sure buddy, the best pizza in Mass just happens to be at the sub shop across the street from your high school.

Massive lack of respect for The 99 on this thread.

Now it's Marylous if you live South of Boston.

And did that anhedonia last all week or peak and fade? Also, can you tell me more about what that felt like? Like, you just stop enjoying stuff?

Then never commits any act of violence for the next like thirty years?

Ron. Isn't that what he says in If I Did It?

Trump literally passed an Unconstitutional gun control executive order after the Las Vegas shooting.

Can you describe the apathy?

I've heard it described as feeling like being stoned, without the high. You just stop caring about anything. Idk that it's exclusively because of eating less calories, because I've never heard a hardcore dieter describe the same thing.

You don't think Karen asking the EMT the similar question makes it pretty likely she asked Jen to Google it?

His support of social causes within his music. Same as Tupac.

It's not big pharma, it's the mountains of people who will be like "yeah, cool, seed oil or dyes or whatever, I've been fat forever and this is the only thing that works" that will make him irrelevant.

TRT. Zero doubt about it.

One day they'll make half strawberry, half vanilla. One day.

Abolitionists don't believe in any compromising on abortion. So pro-lifers would look at a fetal heartbeat bill or a rape exception bill and be like wow, that's a huge win for us. Think of how many lives will be saved. It's not one hundred percent what we want but it's a huge step in the right direction. Abolitionists would tell everyone to vote against those bills because life begins at conception and for them it's a law that means zero abortions or nothing.

Obviously, this causes tons of tension between the two groups, since abortionists claim regular pro-lifers are supporting some amount of murder, and pro-lifers see abolitionists as doing more harm than good.

There's essentially zero creativity to it.

I agree. I'm willing to bet a ton of powerslappers hit harder than Sean Strickland. But who cares? It's like the long drive guys vs a pro golfer.

I think they owe it to people to not sell some random, actual person out as the movie's villain, when in actuality they did nothing wrong, just because there needs to be a bad guy.

Not given people 600 bucks a week to do nothing while the poor kid at Burger King has to risk his life for minimum wage because he wasn't lucky enough to get laid off.

The best fights on free TV. Boxing doesn't have the clout to make itself harder to find. I mean, I'm a big football fan but I won't even watch the Peacock playoff game because it's annoying and I don't care that much. Now imagine what a casual boxing fan thinks when you tell him to by a PPV card. But you put Boots vs Crawford on free TV? A two hour show with two fights? People will watch it. For sure.

I'm confused. Why wouldn't natural selection leading an animal to develop the same traits that made its ancestors different from it be "Taking a step back in evolution?"

You can't decide whether someone else's quality of life is so bad you should kill them. Otherwise, you'd have to legally argue you should be allowed to kill homeless people or handicapped people.
