This is as meaningless as asking why you think more men die of suicide than women. More women attempt suicide, but men on average use more lethal methods. Think downing a bottle of pills vs a shot to the head.

Statistics in the hands of the uninformed is just noise.

Can you kill the crickets quickly before giving it to the spiders? Or will they refuse to eat them unless they’re alive?

This is a study on glycemic control on fiber. In no way does it claim that fiber supplements are useless because that is not glycemic control is not its only intended use.

I have IBS, and psyllium husk has helped relieve many of my symptoms that many high-FODMAP fruits and vegetables cannot.

Please don’t point to a misunderstood study and use it to invalidate other people’s symptoms and effective treatments.

Sympathy at the right time and place is how a lot of MAGAs get deconverted.

The key here is the right time and place. Wait for reality to hit them and break them down. They won’t learn until they experience the consequences of their own beliefs. Let them stew in it, and then offer sympathy.

Yes, it’s fun to dogpile on those morons, but if you want to institute real change, offering no sympathy at all does less than nothing.

Boys can like barbies too. We can acknowledge that gender stereotyping kid’s interests was wrong, while acknowledging that their interests don’t always define their gender.

For the same price, men’s clothing are often far thicker with better quality fabric.

Next time you see a simple men’s t-shirt, look at the equivalent for women. It’s more expensive and thinner.

People always say ‘vote with your wallet’ as if women didn’t already have to deal with the ridiculousness of non-standard sizes, bloating, bra compatibility, and constantly being heavily judged for appearances. Taking all of this into account, better fabric and pockets are a premium that can’t always be afforded or not even offered.

Wish you a speedy post-drome. I had migraines for a year in the past, and the thought of going through that again fills me with dread.

Slogans in foreign languages are sometimes considered prestigious or exotic. They’re saying it for the vibes, not for the literal meaning of the words.

Anyone who is picking up their pitch forks at the offender needs to read this thread first. Before you unload your rage, consider taking what the victim did as a learning opportunity.

It was 3:30am in the morning when the shot happened. The neighbor who discharged the firearms rushed downstairs to check on the woman who’s PC was shot, thankfully finding that she was not hurt. She was distraught, frantic, and told the PC owner that she will never own a firearm again and pay for all damages. They talked, and the PC owner learned that her daughter just passed away. A police report was still filed, but the PC owner isn’t pressing charges. They’re getting margaritas later together.

Let me be clear that this absolutely does not excuse what this woman did. However, what the PC owner did likely saved her neighbor’s life. You see, at 3:30am in morning, there is only typically one thing people would do with a fire arm, to themselves.

Anyone would be in their right to be angry at this woman after what she did. But the PC owner extended her compassion and became this woman’s friend at a time when she had every reason not to.

What the headline could have been was ‘woman commits suicide after negligent discharge’, but it was not. Imagine if the PC owner was the last person who spoke to her in anger, and imagine if she had to live with that for the rest of their life knowing that she could have done something about it.

Yes. It’s terrible that conservatives love to wiggle their cock around in a child’s face.

Because it takes 8+ hours.

Most actors and singers aren’t successful just because they have talent, it’s because they have the right connections in Hollywood.

Smoking has known epigenetic effects

Laughs in chronic illness.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Two things can be true at the same time. Fluoride has provided significant benefits to dental health, while it’s effects on the human body are not fully studied.

Modern medicine has numerous gaps when it comes to the chronic illness community, and medical gaslighting is the default experience when people attempt to report symptoms.

I don’t think I want Trump removed.

If JD Vance becomes president, it will give conservatives more credibility towards the party because Vance would be even more competent in enacting fascist politicies.

But mom, it was supposed to be my turn to post this this week.

It is toxic if you cooked in a copper pot because of its acidity, which a lot of people had.

Induction is extremely inconvenient if you primarily cook Chinese or Mexican food for your household.

Wok-shaped induction stoves don’t exist in the US at a reasonable cost, and the lack of an open flame makes it hard to properly char peppers on an electric broiler. So you’re left with food with no wok-hei or char flavor.

I see a lot of people calling others stupid for using a gas stove, and at this point I’m not sure if it’s just racism disguised as environmentalism.

Autistic women are, once again, invisible.
