In the US at least, you might not convince people. I think every parent thinking about it imagines their child calling them during a school shooting to say I love you one last time.

That’s more worthy of respect than someone who doesn’t admit that capitalism affects our education system

It’s also about ten years out of date, 25 year olds today probably wouldn’t recognize this

It depends on what the medication is. I used to take generic adderall for ~$30/month. When I switched to vyvanse, there was no generic and I had to pay ~$300/ month. I suspect vyvanse is cheaper now, but it’s been a few years since I lived in the US.

The real killer was that I had to meet with the prescriber and get a drug test every month, which cost an extra ~$200/every prescription. Not every doctor requires that, but I went to a budget clinic and IME, those tend to be more restrictive (because fuck the poor)

That sounds a lot easier to follow, because that reading up on them, they’re in everything. That makes sense, given that all cell membranes have a phospholipid bilayer that seems like it should technically act as an emulsifier, if I’m understanding it correctly (I’m very proud of the fact that I wrote that from memory after almost 20 years since my last biology class and the only thing I had to change after double checking on Wikipedia was “cell walls” to “cell membranes,” because I forgot animals don’t have cell walls).

I always just assumed it was hard for the rest of your penis’ life, and after a certain point without adequate blood flow…

I wouldn’t assume anything about the number of his children from that, tbh. And that’s fair, multiple children are relatively common.

The time that something similar actually comes up for me is with doctors. I tend to assume that people are talking about their single gp when they say “my dr.,” and this is often wrong with people who have a lot of health issues (it’s not a problematic assumption, because I don’t do anything with it, I’m just picturing a GP for whatever their story is).

I suspect the disconnect is between traditional headline values (first shortness, then understandability) and the ones that would actually make sense in the modern age (font size is adjustable at the point of receipt, and nobody reads articles, so clarity should win over length).

Have you had garlic, eggs, chickpeas or mustard in that time? Because if so, you’ve had emulsifiers. Milk, butter, and mayonnaise are all technically emulsions, so they’re super widespread in people’s diets. (I’m not trying to be shitty, I can see how this paragraph sounds accusatory, but it’s not, I just can’t figure out how to make it sound neutral)

I try to avoid super processed foods for much of my diet, but I do eat smoked tofu regularly and occasionally have a piece of candy. But avoiding all emulsifiers would require a much more significant overhauling of my diet.

I wonder if there’s something about emulsifiers themselves (maybe the bacteria in your gut can’t access oil and water mixed together) that’s problematic, because I eat a lot of mustard seed, garlic, and chickpeas, all of which are high in emulsifiers.

That’s possible, but I suspect it’s more likely that the problem is from things we haven’t been eating for thousands of years.

I’m my father’s daughter. I have two sisters who are also my father’s daughters. I am also one of my father’s daughters, but that doesn’t make my first sentence incorrect.

Paving roads makes it easier for an invading army to get around.

That’s a-okay and everyone has different habits about that. I’m bad at making friends and I have only gotten worse as time goes on, so I try to hold on to my friends. I’m still friends with 4-5 people I went to middle school with, and ~6-8 people I went to college with. We don’t hang out every day or anything, but I talk to them directly at least occasionally (I live across an ocean, so there’s not much regular contact, but we saw each other when I last visited).

It’s okay that there isn’t anyone else from high school, but it is out of the ordinary.

Judge Hofer, presiding, an experienced mountaineer who is active as a mountain and air rescuer (although he emphasised that had “no bearing on the case”) ruled that the defendant had been negligent in failing to recognise that Kerstin G would be unable to complete the climb well before the couple ran into difficulty.

That’s… incredibly convenient

Hmm. Fiddleheads maybe? Ferns are some of the oldest plants and you can eat the fiddleheads of any fern that’s not poisonous (but be careful, a bunch of types are poisonous).

I love this, thank you!

Yeah, I’d really like to switch to Linux, but I’m the most tech savvy person in my circle and I know I’d fuck something up.

Edit: thanks all for the advice, I’ve got to at least wait until I finish my thesis and my husband and I have more than one computer between us

What if I have lead pipes?

Yeah. I think throwing his brother under the bus would probably earn the king a whole lot of goodwill with the public, whereas pardoning him would outrage people.

Though not much came of Jimmy Saville, but Andrew’s not dead

I mean…

I have to assume thr relatively precarious position the royals have is stopping him
