While this is certainly an interesting take, it seems like you're cherry-picking data to tell a story that ends in the following conclusion: >you'd expect a well-off socially accepted trans woman on HRT to live longer than a ge

We do have adjectives to distinguish things that other animals do. When a baby sucks on a teat it is mammalian. When turtle dives underwater then comes out on land to bathe, it is amphibious. When something takes flight it is avian. Humans

You are correct, that would be defined as unnatural as well.

I think the term you are looking for is an "appeal to nature" which differs from the naturalistic fallacy. My comment was not appealing to nature, in that it made no judgement - good OR bad - in defining the synthesis and self-inf

Jeez here i thought i knew a lot about gardening / ag. I would never have guessed nature worked that way! That said i wouldn’t mind a few apple trees for cider myself.

Wait - apple trees started from seed have high odds of not growing apples like those that they came from? What are the odds of such a mutation?

I’m not sure i understand the take here. Are you claiming that the iraq war and 9/11 struck enough fear into parents to prevent them from allowing their children to bike to school?

You aren't wrong but you also aren't giving my comment the benefit of the doubt. I'm not a lawyer. When I say "malpractice" I'm not referring to the legal definition of the word, but the layman's term, def

The healthcare industry disaster wasn't born out of regulatory control - though money does now follow the regulations. The disaster was born out of regulatory mistakes(in particular, look back to the 1940's when the govt made it t

Don't forget that nurses can now legally be thrown under the bus with criminal charges for malpractice while hospitals walk away scotch-free [1]. This is huge in the nursing community right now. [1] https://www.npr.org/s

Simply? It is not so simple. Medicare reimbursement rates are way below commercial rates and hospitals wouldn't survive just from medicare reimbursement alone. Let's stop trying to come up with "simple" solutions to the

This reply was hilarious. Could you share a good authentic dirty rice recipe? I have a lb of beef liver in my freezer and am intrigued. On another note you make it sound similar to brazilian feijoada.

The discussion isn’t about what’s good for you or what’s natural, it’s about whether the government should be able to impose extreme restrictions on what we consume and how those restrictions are implemented. 43 states allow the sale of raw

Embarrassingly, I was not aware that raw milk could carry pathogens such as TB which are spread beyond consumption - I assumed it carried all the localized pathogens as other foods (salmonella, listeria, etc.). I certainly understand your

100% agreed. If I have been eating junk food for a week or so and even have so much as a kombucha I’ll have major stomach issues. We certainly adapt to high pro-biotic diets, and it would be interesting to learn about the mechanism for such

I put raw cream in my coffee daily, but don’t have the balls to drink raw milk. That said, it makes fantastic yogurt. I don’t really understand the concept of illegal raw milk though. Why can’t people consume raw milk if they want? If anyth

Appreciate the counterpoints. It's incredibly disappointing to me that the parent comment - a unique and dissenting viewpoint on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is flagged and we can no longer see it. Can we get a moderator in here to fix

Props to the author for making excuses to leave early. I’m more likely to drink in excess and resort to indifference, abandon all intellectual drive, and feel like a normal human for a night. Maybe i have a problem…

I updated my reply with data showing real wage drop, shortly after you responded. In addition, id like to add opinion that the current cpi does not accurately reflect healthcare costs, which are continuing to skyrocket unchecked [1]. Housin
