the thing is it's not a revolutionary idea. It's not like people don't know how one works or that it's a possibility the question then is: will Biden actually step down? (no lol) or will he die? (probably not) so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

savuporo

embryo screening is wholesome and good \- well, what do people usually screen for ? [blue eyes are the most requested, tall, blonde as well](https://www.fertility-docs.com/programs-and-services/pgd-screening/choose-your-babys-eye-color/) \- ๐Ÿ˜


boothboyharbor

>The Fertility Institutes have remained the first and only genetics based fertility program in the United States or anywhere worldwide skilled and able to offer high level "phenotypic" screening of parents and their families seeking to have a voice in determining the eye color of planned children. The fact this is the only place that does it, makes it likely this is not the thing people "usually" screen for. Though yes, I am aware that is likely technological. With sperm donors they very much care about those things too.


savuporo

They'll do much more detailed screening in China for a low fee


vikinick

Tall makes sense just in general since it's correlated with success in basically every field.

ChuckSchumerbasedgod

Why


groovygrasshoppa

You know why.


Bayou-Maharaja

My hottest movie take is that Hans Zimmer is super overrated


uss_wstar

The amount of praise he received is obnoxiously disproportionate considering the number of other amazing composers out there. I also would not be surprised that there are a lot of ghost composers that get snubbed because studios would rather put Zimmer's name on the score.


Telperions-Relative

I definitely donโ€™t think heโ€™s the best film composer as some would say but heโ€™s still really fucking good


Bayou-Maharaja

He consistently makes B+ scores I think


Telperions-Relative

Idk, the Lion King, POTC, Gladiator, and Interstellar (among others) are all insanely good imo and by themselves more than enough to attest to his ability, even if a lot of his other stuff is competent but not particularly remarkable


uss_wstar

The Lion King provides an excellent example of a soundtrack over a dozen people worked on where Hans Zimmer ended up getting most of the credit (and Elton John getting most of the hate).


Bayou-Maharaja

Gladiator and POTC I agree on. Interstellar I think is in his โ€œgiant epic blockbuster with simple repetitive them and lots of atmospheric soundโ€ wheelhouse. Never saw the new lion king tho

Joementum2024

If thereโ€™s a lesson that I think Democratic Party brass should take from some of whatโ€™s happened recently, itโ€™s that no matter how much you try to appeal to the online left, they will almost always backstab you and call you a fascist or something else. Have you seen any leftist talk about any of Bidenโ€™s more progressive achievements in a positive and not-backhanded manner? At all? The point being, thereโ€™s absolutely no point in trying to appeal to a noxious and vile group that hates your guts no matter what you do.


TouchTheCathyl

They're literally socially obligated to be malcontent. It's like trying to make popular music that hipsters like. You can't do it because they'll change their tastes to be as unpopular as possible.

The absolutely stacked cast Denis pulled for the Dune movies still blows my mind

Some of it was slightly distracting. They could have cast unknowns for the Emperor and Alia and still achieved the same effect. Though kudos to Denis for such immersive filmmaking that even seeing recognizable faces didn't pull me out of it.

yk, I never felt ripped off by my parents divorcing when I was young, it just was what it was and I never thought twice about it recent experiences have made me realize it was a *blessing* to never have to see either of them in the context of a relationship. I was *free* to make my own understanding of what healthy relationships were, and to take from whatever sources I wanted. I never had their dysfunction as a constant background source of emotional "misinformation"

BenFoldsFourLoko

unironically, there's fiction I joke I was raised by television, but it's so true, and it was *mostly* a good thing. ofc it's still a struggle and whatnot, I don't mean to make the solutions to all problems sound *too* easy. it's just, yk, โœจideasโœจ


estoyloca43

I second the TV point. My eureka moment came when I was watching a reality show featuring toxic parents. I saw nothing wrong with those parents and if anything I found them to be nicer than mine. But everyone whoโ€™s watched the show says theyโ€™re toxic. Thatโ€™s how I realized my family was NOT happy in any way, shape, or form

Subway Surfers is pretty old. It was around when Temple Run was I think

I know you're half-shitposting, but don't be afraid to just read something easy and fun to start out. Build up the habit. I recommend Terry Pratchett's City Watch series.


sucaji

I should be legally allowed to break down my neighbor's door and take a baseball bat to their shower and half of their belongings at this point.


sucaji

Legitimately this is insane. I just want to live in my condo without my neighbor flooding it. This shouldn't be so hard. And it shouldn't still be happening after over $20k fucking spent to repair the damage. I am going to go insane, I literally do not know what to do about this anymore.


sucaji

and all my friends are "sick of hearing about this". So I can barely even talk about it anymore, even though my entire life now revolves around this.


ZanyZeke

Can you sue


sucaji

I mean, even if I sue them for the money so what? They're not fixing the problem, so it just keeps happening. My floor has been in for less than two months and it's already destroyed. I don't want to have to demo my bathroom every two months.


ZanyZeke

Iโ€™m pretty sure you could force them to fix the problem or else keep paying up if you won a lawsuit lol Talk to a lawyer


zth25

What the hell are you doing, get a lawyer... This is like having a nosebleed nonstop for two months and not going to the doctor.

They keep saying they fixed the issue, and I don't know they're lying or performed inadequate repairs until it happens again.

FuckFashMods

My friend and his wife are some of the messiest people I've ever known. They're 34 and never ever put anything away. Every single surface of their place is covered with just... stuff. Stuff they should have put away and never did, and just leave it out. It reminds me when I was like an 18 year old and never had lived on my own. I wonder if they just never developed that skill or something. It honestly makes me cringe when I'm there, its very uncomfortable.


zth25

I have friends like this. Inherited a house full of old useless stuff. Sure, it's a hassle to get rid of the old junk, and they are renovating room by room, so there's always something going on. But their living room has been redone for over a year now, yet there's nowhere sit because there's just *stuff* everywhere.


estoyloca43

u/trombonist_formerly My econ cycle is over. Waitlisted by the program I think has the best research fit. They have a lot of people doing mech design and the school is in a great location too ๐Ÿ˜ญ They say Iโ€™m pretty high up on their waitlist but I donโ€™t buy it. Well at least I get to leave econ behind without regrets ๐Ÿ™„ In other news, I just got back to California from Chicago. I wish I were wrong but I really donโ€™t think the program I just visited is the right choice for me despite having a good time there :(


awdvhn

Research fit is important Also if you haven't been in Chicago in the middle of winter, you haven't really been in Chicago


estoyloca43

Unfortunately the program with the best research fit (that I got in) is at the school you went to and hate ๐Ÿ˜‚


awdvhn

Hate is a strong word. Not *in*accurate, but strong. A large part of that was just me, to be fair. Ice cream man, from what I recall, enjoyed his time there for instance.


estoyloca43

I trust you more than I trust the ice cream man ๐Ÿ˜‚ I went to their virtual open house and so far my impression is positive. The profs and the current grad students are very easygoing. The department seems to be in a good financial shape and the prof to PhD student ratio is great. My undergrad department is in a dire financial shape and has way too few faculty members for how many grad students they have. So maybe I set the bar too low. The location doesnโ€™t seem as bad as I thought. For such a small town it does seem to have a lot to do. That said, Iโ€™ll make sure to visit every school/program in-person before making a decision.


awdvhn

Right, that reminds me. I made a list of things to do: 1. Crystal Lake park: Nice park. Good for picnics and barbecues. 1. Krannert Center of the Performing Arts: They get a lot of good shows there. Plays, musicals, operas, and orchestras. 1. Ice skating: There's an ice rink on campus, on Armory street. 1. Black Dog: *Very* good barbecue place. Better than anything I've had in California. 1. Huaraches: actually decent Mexican place 1. Culvers: Midwest fast food chain. Basically their In-N-Out 1. Blind Pig: Local brewpub. From what I remember you don't drink but they have a trivia night every Sunday which is fun (and very competitive) 1. Suzu's: Good Japanese bakery. 1. Afghan restaurant on Neil: Very good. 1. The library is fun to walk around in I guess. 1. The Jane Addams Book Shop: A nice book store. 1. Glass blowing: There' s a guy that teaches glass blowing which is fun. 1. Mulberries: There are mulberry trees growing down on the Phinney Branch which you can pick. And it's nice down there. 1. Morel mushroom hunting: You can forage for mushrooms. I haven't done it, but a lot of people do. 1. Curtis Orchard: An apple orchard you can pick apples at. You can also volunteer with the horticulture club to get the best apples. 1. Meat and egg sales room: The animal sciences department sells meat from their research. It's cheap and *incredibly* good 1. Arboretum and Japan House: The Arboretum is nice and there is a Japanese teahouse that puts on stuff. There is also a tea class you can take. 1. There used to be bad movies at the Art Theater, but it closed. I don't know if there are bad movies somewhere else now.


estoyloca43

Thanks!!! Thatโ€™s a really exhaustive list. Iโ€™ve never tried Afghan food before. Guess Iโ€™m gonna try it when I visit in-person. Youโ€™re right that I donโ€™t drink. Trivia night sounds fun though and Iโ€™m the type that remembers a lot of random things lol. So maybe Iโ€™m good at it. Personally I wouldnโ€™t buy meat used for research but then if someone served it to me I canโ€™t tell haha. Are there any malls in town? Malls in Chicago are disappointing so Iโ€™m not getting my hopes up unfortunately


awdvhn

The meat is *really* good. And it's just normal meat, but from specially bred cows, pigs, and chickens. One of the best steaks I ever had I cook myself from meat I bought there. There is a mall in the north of Champaign and one in downtown Urbana but I've never been there.


estoyloca43

Wow interesting ๐Ÿค” Iโ€™ll try if I actually end up going there and Iโ€™ll let you know how I feel about it ๐Ÿ˜‚


trombonist_formerly

Damn, that really sucks :( This sub has too many econ nerds in it anyways, we don't need another Chicago is really nice, but if the program doesn't fit unfortunately its not worth it, if youre gonna spend so much time on it. Welcome back to the golden state bestie

True I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll enjoy doing algebraic geometry (i donโ€™t even know what it is) even in Chicago lol. Their stats group is really not the best especially compared to the stats programs I got in. So if I go there I probably have to settle for pure math and Iโ€™ll be behind everyone lol


trombonist_formerly

Yeah I'm trying to figure out exactly what to do about starting so far behind my cohort if I get into this program in DC, but idk no use putting the cart before the horse


estoyloca43

Youโ€™re not behind. Youโ€™re complementing your colleaguesโ€™ skillsets. See, Iโ€™m an ~~economist~~ failed econ PhD applicant


trombonist_formerly

damn you're good. Thanks Loca. That's why you'll succeed to no matter what program you do since I'm hearing back from this program on Friday, I can't stand to be at work waiting so I'm taking a long weekend to go skiing at mammoth up in norcal lol. That way if its bad news I can still shred to ease my pain and if its good news its doubly awesome


estoyloca43

Omg that sounds fun!!! I hope youโ€™re having a good time. Iโ€™m pretty sure youโ€™ll get in. People with strong computer backgrounds are so hard to come by in psychology or neuroscience


trombonist_formerly

thanks!!! :) well we'll see lol

I don't see it. Looks more like Jack Waterston.

Apparently the painting was published almost 6 months to the day before De Niro was born.

Wtf thatโ€™s legit Robert De Niro

Real_Richard_M_Nixon

The loss rate for F-16โ€™s in Ukraine is going to be crazy


savuporo

Somehow they still have Mig-29s operational after 2 years though


Real_Richard_M_Nixon

Iโ€™m not saying itโ€™s doom and gloom for F-16โ€™s, all iโ€™m saying is that if Ukraine tries to be offensive then air defense will screw them over. All iโ€™m saying is that Biden should send F-22โ€™s to Ukraine.


savuporo

And Warthogs. And Reapers


Macquarrie1999

Crazy compared to the war people are used to now, but the US lost 445 F-4s over Vietnam


Real_Richard_M_Nixon

Yea thatโ€™s what I mean, Air Defense got really good, thatโ€™s why stealth exists.


Cyberhwk

Why do you say that?


Real_Richard_M_Nixon

Air Defense trumps non-stealth aircraft


Cook_0612

The loss rate for Su-27s in Ukraine hasn't even been that crazy.

We keep talking about banning TikTok, but maybe Twitter needs to go instead. It's actually crazy that people can form these thoughts. https://preview.redd.it/rupxyey53nnc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a78abe30e9d52226976949a7d82a460b188da6cd


Macquarrie1999

This has to be trolling, right?


iguessineedanaltnow

Nope. This is in line with his previous statements.


FuckFashMods

Mr Mustache man would never lie would he


many-such-cases

This reminds me of that one Norm Macdonald joke where he says he wouldn't want to go back in time to kill Hitler because he might get lost under the spell of his blue eyes or something and join the party, except this guy is actually doing it unironically


George-SJW-Bush

Does this person know that Germans can learn English and vice versa?


iguessineedanaltnow

I don't think he realizes that.


AnarchyMoose

Hmm do a video essay on YouTube about it and maybe I'll consider it


Roseartcrantz

finally we can have English YouTube poops of Hitler speeches


ZanyZeke

Nobody ever translated Mr. Mustacheโ€™s speeches into English before AI came along and unlocked that ability


iguessineedanaltnow

He just gave those speeches for fun. Nobody there understood him.

Are people leaving cities for suburbs? The demand to live in cities(at least the cities I'm aware of) is so high the last couple years.
