Lol. The US is almost keeping Russia's military at bay with nothing more than what's essentially surplus arms given to another country's dwindling military.

That "political scientist" was obviously just doing the propaganda jig.

Ermmm... Novo Nordisk was pretty successful before semaglutide. How exactly do you think they financed the research and marketing for it? Lol. That said, their GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) are definitely the lion's share of their current income. They've still got their insulin beat...

In my early 30s (before marrying my now-ex-wife), I was using an app/website for dating. I went on a date with a woman who was 22, and one with a woman who was 23. I am sure it was a lot easier ten years ago. Not so much these days. I don't know. It sure seems like people are seeking out some prett...

[...] some older adults seem to suffer from the dunning-kruger effect. *self-awareness has left the chat* ETA: In retrospect, this wasn't fair. There's probably an equal probability that Donald J Trump Doubting J Thomas' consistent misrepresentation of sources, for years, is intentional. Like the g...

It's good to know that Brigham's thoughts on why chattel slavery was a curse on the masters was because he thought it was more expensive than just paying someone a wage.

In the course of the interview, Greeley asked whether Utah planned to be a slave state. “No,” Brigham replied, “she will be a Free State.” He proceeded to expl...

Wild how people who have direct access to eternal truths, and divine morals and ethics tend to reliably just end up being products of their time.

None for me (other than meeting Hinkley once), but my Grandpa B had an experience that I think is kind of funny. While giving a ride to LeGrand Richards, Richards had fallen asleep. He woke up by a sign for Kolob -- I think it was an exit sign, as they were visiting quite a few different communities...

No. If Chad is found guilty, there will be a second trial with the same jury. The jury will decide between death and life imprisonment without parole. I don't know whether Chad can be found guilty on a lesser included offense. I haven't heard anyone refer to that as a possibility. Is this a state-s...

I tried to visualise this in a scenario I'd be able to feel. I imagined if I divorced my husband and he started dating an 18 year old how would I feel. I'd be disgusted and I don't think that has much to do with society. And he is in his 30s. I think of the missionaries. When I was a teen, we looke...
