Do you happen to have an inversion table and a traction pulley system?

Leaks are related to worn-out cylinders. They're easy to change. There's nothing wrong with the chair itself unless it's physically-damaged.
I'm a straight, sapio+demisexual (women are pretty, but strangers don't do anything for me), polygynous man with an absurd, irrational sporting interest in piquing interest, foreplay, and seduction, but very rarely closing the bedroom door with an unknown woman or women. I am interested in smart, fun, young (AGR), beauties who tend to be bi or pan, since that's who is also interested in me. I have no qualms about a "steady" girl(s) hitting-on other girl(s), being with other girl(s), or bringing us or me more girl(s); they can go play all they want.
Lot of people hate me for this or that, either jealousy or lifestyle judgements. Fuck them. Live life as it works best for you as long as you're honest with others.
> Can it be affecting the contributions of 50% of the population?
How would this be measured without a duplicate control Earth? Hypothetically: if everyone in sadder areas had as much food and money as they needed to be comfortable, I guarantee T levels would be much higher in men and women, there would be a lot more sex, a lot more happier people, and a lot more babies in 9 months.
> And what would we actually do if we did realize this?
The average person would probably do what they always do: shrug and do nothing. The plutocrats would only care if their top employees weren't performing optimally and would throw more money and/or better conditions at them.
Lab tests of T are a snapshot in time. T values vary dramatically over the day, but their average values are influenceable.
Feel free to go without sleep, add stress, binge drink, and eat only pizza, and then see how much T remains.
A male-born individual can choose murder their SHGB-unbound T by shunting it into cortisol or estrogen production with lifestyle choices, in addition to genetics, health, and acute conditions, if they want more inflammation, less calm, more anxiety, shorter lives, and less focus.
- Tiny houses are personal choices of minimalism.
- Is someone forcing "insects" down your throat?
- Beef bans? No such thing. Animal meat agriculture does need to be banned because of the pandemic, antibiotic resistance, and climate change existential risks.. risks to our continued survival. It will never happen because most people are too dumb, ignorant, and/or lack the self-control to do what's necessary for the long-term survival of the species.
- What the hell is a "climate lockdown?"
A conspiracy theory is a wild, unfounded, imaginary claim. It looks to me you appear to be espousing such nonsense and want it normalized, which is why you don't like the term "conspiracy theory."
There, I fixed it for you, Bloomberg.com.
Yes, us simple folk should transactionalize everything in life to be on-demand, at the behest and control of corporations, including love, parenting, small talk, lawnmowers, brooms, staplers, air conditioning, housing, transportation, water, and smiling. And why not oxygen? ("There is absolutely no air shortage whatsoever." Discretely opens a can of Perriair.) Let's just let the corporations own our bodies, lives, and thoughts too, while we're at it. It will all be so magically-convenient with no vulnerabilities or Kafkaesque traps at all!

America has always been a feudal, caste society, either overtly by location such as modern gated communities, or ubiquitously by speech, mannerisms, interests, and appearances. The other layers are that mainstream America worships certain extremes of celebrity, money, pedigree, power, race, and beauty.
If you commit suicide, you throw away all future changes to a different state.
Most clinical doctors have social skills and crystalized intelligence from domain expertise, but aren't typically mistakable for particle physicists.
People don't necessarily require the proper sheepskins to possess fluid, crystallized, and/or other domains of intelligence AND the skills, personality, and experience relevant to excelling at a particular STEM role.
Pedigree is mostly used for social filtering and business leadership board packing, but if someone wanted to create an elite monoculture of staff, lacking in cognitive and personality diversity, by all means, go right ahead.
PS. I. Don't even get me started about a car full of CS IITians talking about the JEE and high-placers who seem normal on the way to snow country for snowboarding and gambling.
PS. II. I bombed an Apple interview for a mid-career role by being too intelligent and too maverick compared to the group of compliant, I hate to say, yuppies. It was an interview panel of about 9 people and they were just speechless. The other time I bombed an interview for being too smart was about 10 years before that when I was 20 at the old Borders bookstore in Palo Alto. Moral of the story: it's important to play dumb where appropriate because most people are relative-intelligence insecure.
PS. III. Sorry, reader, for the rambling and discontinuous thoughts. Absurd endocrine values of unknown etiology currently... doctor appointments pending. ):
Maslow's hierarchy things help: Sleep (where possible), diet, water, exercise (HIIT cardio and weightlifting), get outside, routine, defuse catastrophizing thoughts with reality, and not everything is as hard as it may seem (no mind, grasshoppa).
Avoid: alcohol, walnuts, almonds, soy, licorice root (black licorice candy), mint, certain oils (canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, flaxseed, sunflower, safflower, palm kernel, "vegetable"), sugar/HFCS, carbs, trans-fats, and excessive omega-3.
Don't forget moral panicking, outrage crybullying, serial scapegoats crucifixion, taking-out aggression, bikeshedding, and cyberdisinhibitionism are also part of this complete breakfast.
In general: always be extra nice to HR. They are underpaid, under-appreciated, under-loved, put in the middle of every dispute, and told to make the impossible possible. Like IT, but with squishy meat bags.
It's an "expensive" (for the area), boring, mixed-use development that gentrified an east side area, abutted right next to I-35 and neglected homeless (who's existence are now illegal thanks to hateful bandaid policies).
And, it appears to be populated mostly by Millenial kidults who live to party hard, act like they're still in high school, got their jobs by lying on their resumes, let their dogs pee and poop in the common hallways, and live like their hedonism is more important than anything or anyone else. I dislike most of them because they resemble Seinfeldian, Kafkaesque caricatures and many offer nothing more than shallow, vapid, shitty, ignorant, infantile %sshole, consumerist, ephemerality manufactured by a steady diet of mass media and screen time.
One woman walks around with one hand in the air like Peg Bundy from Married... with Children but seems like a WASP who works-out and dresses to climb up the next richest pole. She won't even acknowledge my presence with a friendly "hello."
