It's one thing to ponder this sort of relationship now, when I am able to pull women (don't let my wife read this hah) and still functional and attractive. It's like cocaine, I'm not doing it now, but when I'm 80, I might be snorting the hell out of it - consider this feeling applicable to cheap companionship, if I'm still kicking at that age and my wife has passed, I will be buried cheap perfume and soulless holes.

Honestly, I’m just burnt out.

Sounds like mild depression... Don't be too hard on yourself but don't slip into malaise either - set a goal that is outside of your normal routine, maybe running for 10 minutes without a break, maybe stretching and getting to new level of flexibility, maybe a daily 10 minute meditation routine. Best of luck shaking it off!

US Troops Given Nearly Empty Trays On Warships Deployed Near Iran: Report

so much of American food has zero flavour, zero spices

Hey we're not all in the midwest... hahah - but no. America being a true melting pot means that we have access to every cuisine the world has to offer. The best part of that is the lack of conquest - we didn't go steal the worlds' best food, for a long time (not now unfortunatley) we opened our arms to people fleeing your country, and let them come here and succeed, opening restaraunts, food carts, shops, etc - and my tastebuds are eternally grateful!

Explain Like I am a child ... taxes. I get you pay taxes on goods you buy everyday. And you get said goods by paying a one time fee. But how come on a home after being paid off I still pay taxes......

That pack of beer doesn't require an entire infrastucture of services to maintain... when you buy a house (really the land) you are buying a stake in the community, a community that requires upkeep and you are agreeing to pay your share of the upkeep... think local law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, infrastructure maintenance (sewer/water/roads), and I think the biggest one, local education.

Cars are hazardous for the environment!

On average ~25% of that rubber is synthetic, i.e. pertroleum/plastic based.

Cars are hazardous for the environment!

...and ~35% come from the clothes we wear. No clothes, no cars, sign me up.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought | Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

The research combined real-world ocean observations with the models to determine the most reliable, and this hugely reduced the spread of uncertainty. They found an estimated slowdown of 42% to 58% in 2100, a level almost certain to end in collapse.

Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. “I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%. The most dramatic and drastic climate changes we see in the last 100,000 years of Earth history have been when the Amoc switched to a different state.”

Yikes.

Are rapists actually attracted to the victims? Are child rapists and offending pedophiles attracted to children?

Pedophilia is sexual attraction to kids, full stop. Our current justice system refers to it as rape because a child cannot consent - hence why we might think of pedos as having a power fixation, but they do not see themselves as rapists (as rapists do) - they want to bed and often marry children.

whereas the pedos like on Reddit and stuff who wanna actually sext kids do it for power

Silly to bring it up, but watch a few episodes of your boy Chris Hansen doing his thing... these men are not looking to rape, they are sexually aroused by children, not a power fantasy.

IMHO acting on pedophilia should be a capital offense - I do not believe these people can be reformed with our current understanding of brain chemistry. Maybe if we lived in Demolition Man world I'd be down to put them on ice forever.
