chemotherapy

this reminds me of chemotherapy so much, a lucrative business that has severe side effects (including cancer) that is highly recommended because it is profitable and is seen as the 'do something is better than nothing' philosophy. nevermind exercise and healthy eating. @arete84964997

sexual coercion fantasies

Any good evopsych theories why? @Aella_Girl

множество ответов, но одного достаточно от @primalpoly:

These results are consistent with most research on sexual coercion fantasies.

Lots of ideas from ev psych & ev bio are relevant here, such as hypergamy, patrilocality, tribal warfare, resistance-as-screening, mate choice for dominance, adaptive self-deception....

Capitol Sacking: Putin’s Role

"Russia has been deeply involved in running large factions of US political parties since the 1970s, and Trump has been groomed as a Russian asset since at least 1987." - это из рецензии на книжку ‘The January 6, 2021 Capitol Sacking: Putin’s Role’

inverted penis

Because literally all a vagina is, is an inverted penis and a penis is just an outwards vagina. There’s differences but they’re literally minuscule - like an inwards or outwards belly button. @SwipeWright

our Bolsheviks

To impress these opinions on the authorities in Washington, Colonel Thompson sailed for America on November 28, 1917. He stopped briefly in London, where his friend Thomas W. Lamont arranged an interview with Lloyd George. Thompson told his story to the Prime Minister: "Let's make these Bolsheviks our Bolsheviks; don't let the Germans make them their Bolsheviks." "The Prime Minister," according to Lamont, "was very much taken with that phrase. Said he emphatically, 'I will pick out the best man in England, and will send him to Russia with the best man in America whom President Wilson will pick out. Together they will go to those people and see if they cannot work out a better destiny.'"  Americans had not yet learned that Lloyd George could say one thing and do quite another; Thompson and Lamont thought they had scored a signal success.
