I mean what does “cause weight gain” even mean because mine didn’t cause weight gain, at least one of mine caused me to feel a black hole in my stomach. I was perpetually hungry, a hunger that I couldn’t satisfy. It also increased suicidal ideation and action and also did not help my depression. Hope this helps!

Well the sleeping earlier is moot because they also wake you up earlier ( and all through the night) they also prevent naps and other restful activity. I do exercise more and I do eat better, though, because I’ve got high standards for what the kids consume, and they’re insistent I share whatever I have with them. Also no more eating out, it’s all home cooking these years. Also pregnancy and breastfeeding forces years on end of sobriety from alcohol and also drugs (even a lot of medicine and caffeine!)

The sleep is much worse though and it feels like that makes every other aspect of life so hard

I heard he literally ate McDonalds before all big races because on a few occasions nice restaurants gave him diarrhea and he wouldn’t take the chance again. Better to have poor but extremely consistent food.

If you mean the zeitgeist in the US, is there a way to make childish Gambino’s This Is America more apathetic? Cause I think that’d be it

Where are you getting that people who survive are happy? Happy immediately or over time eventually they’re glad? What about all the people who have multiple attempts? Maybe some are jolted out of their mindset when suicide intervention happens, sure, but how many are just trying to get out of psychiatric care/ suicide watch by agreeing they’re happy now. Also maybe people who don’t succeed are half assing the attempt and of course are happy in the end it didn’t work out. Idk. As someone who attempted this line always rings untrue to me.

I’m sure in the hour long to read rental agreement you don’t have time energy, or the law degree it takes to understand, you waive your right to any lawsuit and have already agreed to settle out of court.

I read that if you use a personal device for anything work related in the US, it means your entire personal device (everything on it) can be considered discovery in a lawsuit against that company. Big risk to take.

Omg good to have you here

Huh. I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing. I’ve used many recipes that call for throwing all the frozen ingredients directly in

I mean good to make cars less dangerous but doesn’t this disproportionately hurt the poor? Like well off people have newer cars, and can afford to fix any code violations, but broke people are just trying to get to work. If I had lost my janky car when I was just starting out, I wouldn’t have been able to ever save up for a nicer safer car. Now I’m broke as fuck again and I hope my car would pass but it’s getting older.

I mean all (or maybe most) pregnant women calculate it. It sucks and usually means you just have to leave a huge margin of error

I only started this season of reacher, but that’s ironic given that in the books reacher has no interest in drinking and only ever would buy a beer to be polite or get information out of a bartender and even then he doesn’t really drink the beer

Yeah everyone is saying wafflehouse no question, but that’s not true. The waffle house brawler is crazy. Dangerous. Likely drugged up. But the dude from dollar general has a gun. He wins.

How come you can put frozen meat in a crockpot but not thaw it in frozen water?

Yeah and also with evidence of experiments done on people (Tuskeegee experiments) and then downright negligence and cover ups done for greed (opioid crisis), add that to poor treatment for Dr’s convenience or due to their willful ignorance (lots of women’s medicine, birth practices, no numbing for painful procedures) then even the vaccine crazies have valid skepticism.

I believe in vaccines completely, but it’s hard to argue with an anti vaxxer that the pharmaceutical corporations have their best interests at heart. They don’t.

Fully agree with the fucked timeline and honestly agreeing with ignorance is bliss. I just wanna take the blue pill and go back to sleep. I want to be happy and trust my government like a dummy.

Even if this is true, toddlers actually need to eat many times a day. My kid eats extremely clean at home, but if I ever want to leave the house, it’s tough to feed them cleanly without access to a refrigerator and stove. You can make your baby a puree from whole foods, but you’ve got a very short window to eat it once it’s out of the fridge.

Tough enough for me that it made me just stay home and isolate which in fact was worse for me and the toddler than just accepting that we were going to bring a store bought, shelf stable container of pureed green beans with us to be able to leave the house.

It gets easier when your kid has enough teeth to trust them to chew an almond, but not by much. People are just doing their best.

Yeah, if you pick an orange off the tree in your front yard, rinse it, and then peel it, it’s been processed. If you mash it up and bake it into bread with cranberries that’s ultra processed. We need better labels for food thats been handled vs food that’s barely food.

Yes, as we all know, infants should be fed a steady diet of raw milk and steak. All the better if the steak is from road kill. And eat it directly from a toilet seat. Germs can only hurt you if you’re afraid of them!

I’ve got a school in my back yard, a park at the end of my block, it’s not that there’s nowhere for kids to go, it’s that you’re not allowed to let the kids go there alone.

We didn’t have a ton of photos on display at our house, weirdly. Good on you for getting the pics to your kids. My mom shares the pictures of our childhood with us, but also with our cousins - for some of them those are the only childhood pics they’ve got. My dad has shared the login to the huge family cloud account with several of us for safety
