Imagine your whole life consists of thousands if not millions of people saying you are good looking. Suddenly, age takes it's toll and now it's only hundreds. Now the dopamine flow (a lot of) people get from admiration, is dwindling . I bet basically investing a lot of your stat points into appearance ( by luck and genes), now withering away, makes you way more determined, trying to reverse that process. Especially if you have no skill to fall back on which could outweigh your appearance "effect" but will still keep generating adoration/respect/interest by people.

I would say face and body shape. Sometimes voice. General appearance in terms of confidence and, in later stages, ability to socialize and "present" themselves.

What do you think would be a terrible policy direction he would go for? Will he continue the destruction of the middle class? (That is a real question, not some gotcha thingy) I know (?) he is somehow connected to the Getty family. I really can't think of a upper level Democrat (or Republican ?!) besides AOC, and maybe Walz, who is openly defying the way Republicans apparently want to go down. I am kind of astonished Kamala basically disappeared from the political landscape. I try to be informed but there are certainly things flying below my radar and I would be glad to hear some different perspectives.

Swappable Li-Ion cells like 18650s are even better. I find recharging AAs too slow

Fucking prions. When I first learned about them in high school they really made me freak out. They are like the new game+ final boss of things fucking with things. Like how can they even infect other things, fucking mangled and misfolded looking ass, fuck them!

I think one of the allures of Spotify is a good algorithm which often recommends niche and small artists according to your taste Edit: after reading my comment it sounds like a fucking ad bot haha

Oh what, so that's not an exaggerated story? I always thought that's hyperbole

It's all about the proper regurgitating technique
