Telling people who have different life experiences and tolerances for risk than you to "stop going outside" is childish, my dude. You seem to struggle with accepting the reality of this person's differing worldview. Maybe tak

I never understood why my high school buddy was so afraid of dogs. I would tease him sometimes because when he saw a large dog, even on a leash, he would edge to the other side of me and act nervous. He's a big and typically brave dude

If I'm reading the statistics in the study correctly [0], most of these 80 incidents (70%) were pulled from CCTV footage at a "night time drinking setting." Groups of 18 people on average standing around bars, presumably outs

Water rights on the Colorado are a huge, contentious issue and there are many states involved in the fierce negotiations over who gets a slice of the ever dwindling pie. As per the Guardian article, California is among the major stakeholder

I've only read the abstract, but I think your pithy analysis doesn't seem to undermine the hypothesis that sexuality in society can be analyzed through an economic lens. After all, sellers of goods and services tend to enjoy the a

I think you both might be talking about the same thing. CBT is much more detailed and comprehensive than "practicing letting go," but in a sense, accepting reality and then letting go (of our maladaptive beliefs and coping behavio

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an excellent curriculum for training in the use of a set of tools along these lines (and many more skills besides).

Ugly people with lumpy bodies have been successfully reproducing for millennia. Many of them even had/have shit personalities to top it off. Dating sucks because in modern times we are coddled and are terrified of failure, many of us

He's talking in global terms here. This isn't directed at people from wealthy nations. He's talking about places where the majority of calories come entirely from grain, not because of dietary preferences or convenience but b

I'm pretty sure some states (conservative) reject federal medicaid dollars simply because they are ideologically opposed to government funded healthcare. It's not hard to imagine these same states make the bureaucracy of obtaining

This is getting rhetorically close to "there are children starving in Africa so your problems in life are not valid."

It's only possible that it is a binary if you get quite arbitrary and reductive about the concept of consciousness. Along the lines of how for decades we kept trying to define what separated humans from animals, and each line we drew w

At least if we are talking about the US, it is a fact that many drivers struggle and tunnel vision. Probably because they are so uncommon. It's great that you don't. Drivers that turn into drooling idiots may be the exception rath

Let's be real, is this actually an indictment of roundabouts or is it just Boston?

by InSteady 3y ago
We have lots of these little roundabouts in Portland (not to mention all manner of other traffic calming features), and they are generally well placed. Almost exclusively used in areas with heavy bike and pedestrian traffic, where cars woul

Because its on a busy intersection and people are idiots. I've used it hundreds if not thousands of times on my bike, not to mention as a pedestrian. I would not do either one if not for the stop signs. I've seen so many idiotic i

I mean, various groups are pursuing action on both. The US government is a pretty big institution. It tends to do more than one thing at a time, you know.

One imagines GP is more referring to oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, in addition to dietary fiber. Not all fruits contain excess fructose, and many contain basically trace amounts in reasonable servings.

FYI homemade sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles are all examples of lactic acid fermentation.

Potency can still vary drastically from batch to batch (and even within the same batch), let alone between distinct strains. Standardization and accurate testing are still quite important when we are talking therapeutic use.

Not sure if this is where GP got them, but these are techniques straight out of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, one of the most broadly successful evidence-based clinical therapy frameworks. Don't undersell the value of learning how to
