When you do, I would say it's a good idea to use Google Scholar on top of any Google searches. Research papers are generally less biased (depending on the topic) and can also allow you to find interesting stuff before it becomes big in the public eye.

Understandable. Not everyone is going to agree with my thoughts. It is possible that it would be doing better if I did not include the Palestine McDonalds boycott in the beginning as the prime example, but it was the motivator for the post.

I thought it was important to point out the craziness of US strike and Boycott culture. If people get mad about the Palestine mention, fine. It doesn't change the fact that many people will boycott for a cause like that while ones about pharmacy overwork do not go far.

How is it people are more willing to boycott for Palestine than causes that will actually benefit them? Like, it's the same group who wants higher wages, so why boycott McDonalds over that instead of Palestine? It's not like a company like McDonalds can do much for a war halfway around the world.

This is not to criticize the war or endorse either side, but rather to call attention to the absurdity of boycott and strike culture in the US. I mean, pharmacy employees try to call for a strike and boycott due to lessened hours and staff allowed leading to overwork, thus leading to a heightened risk of catastrophic errors? Very few actually do so and we never hear about it again. Various transport industries call for strikes from poor working conditions? The government strikes it down and we dont hear about it again. Twitter users call for boycotts and strikes of various countries because of donations of individuals that are out of the company's control? Now a lot of people are on board.

Compare that to the piles of trash on the streets in France because their government tried to up the retirement age. Compare it to the various strikes that were supported by everyone in places like Finland that brought their societies to better places. The strikes and boycotts that gain traction nowadays dont actually do anything. They target aspects the companies in question do that are out of their control. But when a genuine complaint is levied about something they can control? We say nothing. We do nothing. We let ourselves and our society get worse. Due to what? Fear? Complacency? Caring about other countries more than our own? Seriously, we need to make it make sense.

This may be a hot take, but I think older children and teenagers should play Five Nights at Freddy's. I think it is necessary to explore death and fear around that age instead of keeping it taboo, and FNAF is actually a pretty good outlet to do so.

Deaths are not shown realistically on screen. The nature of animatronics make it something children cannot easily recreate. If anything, the fear of kidnapping that can come from it is good for them to have reinforced. If they have a fear of animatronics is created out of it, they are not something you have to be around at any point in time in the real world. The community is a whole lot better to be in than a good amount of them, especially the other ones I was in as a kid.

I am sure you can come up with reasons against this and disagree with the fundamental idea that older children should have the opportunity to explore death. I just think that death is something that a child should be allowed to explore, and FNAF is likely the best example out there to do so.

Something I don't think most people understand about people like me who walk everywhere is how we have to keep an eye out for guaranteed places to sit and places to use the bathroom. I know I am in a worse position in that regard with irritable bowels and pain disorders, but even without those factors, it's something we need to keep track of constantly.

Most of the time when I fail to not binge eat, it's going around the kitchen eating as much as possible or I grubhub random crap that I regret when out of binge eating mode. That is a true failure that deserves to be considered such.

But very rarely, I have been craving something specific off and on for weeks and the binge eating sensation makes me get it. Even so, it is so targeted that even binge mode me will get only enough to get the Grubhub+ free delivery fee at 12 dollars. I do not consider these instances a failure.

While I am in the minority, it's good to see there are others like me. 10-15 is comfortable for me, and is the hottest summer would get in my ideal world. Despite this, summers can get up to 40 where I live and I have passed out on several occasions from overheating.

And yes, I use celcius despite living in America. I got used to it while studying in Japan and just haven't switched back.

saw a poll about dry/humid heat and like OBVIOUSLY everyone preferred dry heat but. would love to know what everyone considers to be “too hot”

me personally it’s a hard cutoff at 75°F. don’t need anything more than that thank you 🫶🫶🫶

A downside to using a CPAP machine:

It is terrifying when the power goes out while you're sleeping and the pressure goes from high to none out of nowhere. It isnt the best way to wake up.

This is actually exactly why I put more trust into papers from Asian countries when it comes to obesity research. Japan and South Korea specifically are in a unique position where they see obesity as the massive health problem it is while simultaneously having the wealth and food cultures that can lead to it.

While it is true the cultural issues and bullying of obese people are inherently bad and can lead to further binging to cope, swinging in the exact opposite direction and having a bias for obesity like has happened in the west is not good either.

That being said, this is another issue to add to the list of issues that need to be re-medicalized after being heavily politicized.

So transparent to their complete lack of actual critical analysis how fat activists will constantly be on this narrative that fatphobia is a western white colonizer problematic construct yadda yadda buzzword salad and completely ignore how permissive western society is to obese people in a way that virtually no country other is.

Why the fuck is the Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread so good? I dont even mean in a taste way. It does not have any of those long-named chemical preservative ingredients that almost everything has nowadays. The cereal version cannot even say that. Heck, it's better in that regard than a lot of those "all natural healthy uwu" items around it.

Think about that for a second. The fucking cereal tie-in spread is better in the department of not having the long-name preservatives than the brands specifically flaunting how "natural" and "healthy" they are. Like, seriously. And I know not having them doesn't necessarily make the spread healthy by default (it's still loaded with sugar,) but still.

A reminder that dogs have limits too, and you should follow cues from the owner for what that dog will allow.

My dog was estimated to be 5 weeks old when we got her, which based on the kill shelter's rules and the fact that she was on the list to be killed, means she had at most 2 weeks with her mother. This can emotionally stunt a dog. She was also so soaked in pee that we thought she was yellow instead of white.

Through many years and medication, I have gotten her to a point where she can handle contact with strangers for a short amount of time if done right, but she still cannot handle contact with other dogs. Trauma is trauma, and it's not like a dog can talk it out like us humans can.

This does not make her inherently dangerous or scary. The culture just tells us that children should be able to climb all over a dog and the dog should just bear with it without even a growl from discomfort. It doesn't allow for avoidance for the sake of the dog's comfort, and assumes that any dog is down to play with another.

So to my neighbors who get frustrated when I avoid them while they have a dog as well, or the ones who are on their own but only get a sniff from my dog rather than the normal dog behavior, it's not you. I just have a dog who survived an abusive household with me, had trauma before that, and did not have the proper amount of time with her mother to allow for normal puppy brain development. Not all dogs have the privilege of good puppyhoods or being a calmer breed. I hope you can understand.

This map is very poorly designed. I had to zoom in to even see that the state borders were there, leading me to get Georgia wrong from thinking it was one of those borderless ones.

Maine is so nonexistent on there I had to zoom in to the max to even get a chance to tap the small part of it not blocked by the flag.
