Why does Mr Krabs hoard so much money if he can barely bring himself to spend a dime?

It's an embellishment of how a lot of rich people genuinely have that kind of mindset.

I don't understand that mindset personally, but it is a thing.

No, it’s definitely a thing. These are just little things you start to think about when you sorta realise that SpongeBob’s written in two ways. Of course it’s primarily for kids but as far as cartoons go it still has this undercurrent of stuff that’s written for adults as well as kids. It’s up to you (as any one person) if you fancy that trip down memory lane and catch a few cartoon reruns on your Netflix on the odd Saturday morning but it’s just something to think about.

Too true, I agree with you.

Tbh, I watch SpongeBob nearly every day lol, it's such a classic with it's hidden adult jokes and messages imo, it has way more depth to it than some people might realise.

How Emmerdale isn’t a patch on EastEnders or Corrie. Evenings where it’s pretty-much just Emmerdale are almost inherently more boring.

The woman who plays Charity is a superb actress but that’s about the only exciting thing about Emmers at the moment.

How people drink Bloody Marys.

I’ve just seen an “ultimate recipe” for one containing pickle brine and horseradish (things that disgust me anyway) with a certain proportion of tomato juice. It’s just gross.

People who enjoy Bloody Marys, how do you drink it without vomiting? I’ve had nicer garlic juice.

Looking at this photo … the whole thing looks kinda out of proportion .. presumably there’s quite a bit of weight on top of those skinny little legs …. rather like those tables at car boot sales

Men who take drugs for erectile dysfunction, such as Viagra, may reduce their risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study suggests.

In research on more than 260,000 men, those taking the drugs were 18% less likely to develop the dementia-causing condition.

So men will start taking viagra for its health benefits

…it’s not been a proper clinical trial or research though …as far as is reported…

‘While the findings are striking, the observational study cannot determine whether Viagra and similar pills protect against Alzheimer’s or whether men who are already less prone to the condition are simply more likely to use the tablets.

“We can’t say that the drugs are responsible, but this does give us food for thought on how we move into the future,” said the lead author Dr Ruth Brauer at University College London. “We now need a proper clinical trial to look at the effects of these drugs on Alzheimer’s in women as well as men.”…’


…if it’s something in the drug then the theory should be that it would be effective on females also and if it’s jot then why not…and could it be made so…?…come on, if there is thought to genuinely be a real link then let’s get onto that research for the females…WHAT ARE YOU WAITINg FOR….

with such a tragic disease, if anything reduces the chances of suffering from it, it should be investigated without delay.

Viagra does obviously affect your circulation pretty substantially so it's not unreasonable for it to have side effects not previously discovered

….they need to get on with the clinical trials, rather than tell us that we need clinical trials and when that’s a pretty obvious….Viagra…(…I thought was a brand name…)…so it’s going to be a long process of discovering which element of the Viagra or combination of elements so that those things can be applied to progress in Alzheimer’s medication….

the thing is we have a ton of drugs that manipulate your circulation already, one would think that there must be loads of information available from them that apply equally to men and women. It may be they just haven't been looking at the data in the right way. This is where AI can get of it's ass and actually do some good

The appalling customer-service that can come with Delta and Alpha Taxis behind the scenes and the ways they make it hard for people to justify using them is worth a ponder. Someone whose livelihood is being eaten up by Uber and has been at any point over the past 8 years should be at least trying to smooth out people’s interactions with them instead of making it difficult. Having to wait 40 minutes for a notifying call in this age of Uber is already an L.

My personal intuition. A lot of the time I actually don’t go wrong if I listen to my inner voice.

The fact that clomipramine’s better at being an SSRI and SNRI than anything from paroxetine to venlafaxine and very-much a worthy option among tricyclics (and probably just short of MAOIs in pure anti-depressant potency) but is still only rarely prescribed for depression per-se and just thought of as a drug for OCD, autism, body dysmorphia, stuttering, trichotillomania, premature ejaculation and just-about every other thing/syndrome it’s used for besides actual depression. I know about the bias of capitalistic marketing, big pharma and bias towards newer drugs because they have “less potential side-effects” but still, why? Why is clomipramine so rarely prescribed for depression compared to amitriptyline and the like?

Viagra does actually treat a lot of the sexual side-effects that certain antidepressants can have. It’s a wonder it’s not prescribed more often.
