It is a fair point, being obese and poor can definitely be a a horrific feedback loop to get out of.

In developed countries anyways, you don’t really see it in places where food is scarce, of course.

I’m more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural stone, it’s still stone and that can get really expensive. It might honestly get more expensive to do this and fix it later than just do it right from the getgo.

Tough, but fair.

Or just write it on a dive bar’s bathroom stall wall just above the glory hole. Would still be less filthy than a Twitter account.

Here’s a springboard article, if you want to do your own research.

The woman, based on whom the term was coined (the psychiatrist never even talked to her) wrote an autobiography “I became Stockholm Syndrome”.

There’s also the works of Allan Wade, a Canadian psychologist, who has talked to the victims throughout his career.

Basically when you’re at the whims of an armed lunatic, you might cozy up to them in order to appease them. The victims were also really afraid of the police coming in and shooting them. Which is pretty justified, considering the police couldn’t even identify the perpetrator before conceding on his demands and bringing in his prison buddy.

The guy with a gun, whom they’ve been talking to for days and has not hurt them in the slightest looked much less dangerous than the impending doom of the police barging in and shooting the wrong person.

Stockholm syndrome was made up to cover for police incompetence

Oh god, that reminded me of this statue. It has a LOT going on. So many questions. Perhaps they’re better left unanswered.

Go figure

I mean morphologically-speaking strawberry seeds are true nuts, while walnuts and chestnuts are not. I wouldn’t want to die on this hill.

I love how every single source emphasizes it’s “single-planet”, just because it’s by Hello Games.

Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.

Be careful, we might have some citrus-stealing whores in this community

Oh my god, can’t you let another country suck for a minute without making it about the US?

Oh my god, he’s dead? Thank you, this made my day.

Shame it took so long.

The UK is a joke you can live in.

I love how just a year ago, he was the one to call out FTX.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and all that…

The whole industry seems like a criminal plot at this point.

I have a whole fucking family, who lived through the USSR. Not a single one of them misses it. Being spied on every step you take, my grandma has the “you never know who’s watching” mentality to this day.

That’s not to say they don’t hate the current regime, but it’s nothing compared to the absolute atrocities of the USSR’s secret police.

Well, I’m from a post-USSR country and a substantial part of this was the criminalization of homelessness. Can’t have homeless people, if you lock them up (be it in a prison or asylum).

Then again, just about anyone, who did not conform to the party’s message got locked up. Getting your place bugged at the slightest hint you might be up to something disagreeable and all that good stuff. The secret police could disappear and or beat you up without any real justification.

I hate late-stage capitalism as much as you, but coming from a country that’s been through this, I am extremely reluctant to give the rotten and frankly repugnant USSR regime any credit.
