The lesson to be learned is that if you must be convicted of heresy, make sure it's at the posthumous trial not the one that you have while alive. Much better being burned at the stake after death rather than before. That was Joan's mistake.
What ever you do, do not order the swift scrambler.
Of course! I think it's hard for folks because it's not a common thing to pull off and, even more, because for many it's an enviable one. So it's hard for folks to know how to relate or go know what to say.
And I really think most people don't realize how differently they're treating people based on their weight, most of the time. So yeah, it's a lot of cognitive dissonance.
Anyways, you're definitely not crazy, and I am glad to reassure you of that. And I can also tell you with confidence: you'll get used to the changes. It's partly just a lot of system shock and sensitivity right now, and it takes a while to become comfortable but you'll get there!
From cell free fetal DNA? Yeah, those are fairly unreliable.
They technically can be done before birth but a court won't typically order it because it's invasive and unnecessarily. Legal arrangements aren't necessary until the child is born and the test can easily be performed then. A third of pregnancies end in miscarriage. If I were OP I'd just make my feelings known, make my intentions clear, be as supportive/cooperative as possible and wait to see what happens next.
Body language, obviously.
Yeah, but what you're saying now isn't an accurate summary of my position. They're not a balanced budget party, they never have been. All I'm saying is that they're also not leaving government benefits intact.
But they've gutted welfare programs, public housing, education spending, science/research spending, etc. So I think it's quite debatable. Sure they don't touch a few central high dollar programs. Whatever. They've certainly made a point of killing lots of other programs and you're unlikely to convince me otherwise.
Ehh, in fairness I think they do usually cut middle class taxes. Problem is you can't cut very much for people who don't pay very much, and taxes on the middle class have been going down for a long time now. So they mostly wind up cutting taxes on the wealthy, which is, as you imply, very much by design.
I would contest the "without reducing government programs" aspect of this comment. That's where all the rhetoric about reducing budget deficits comes in. They're all about "making tough choices" in order to boost the amount they can cut in taxes.
You're right about Dr Pepper. That's not the reason for the "Zero" products though. Those happened because food science used to be less sophisticated than it is now, and the scientists couldn't copy Original Coke (or whatever other soda) with artificial sweeteners. Instead they gave diet sodas their own flavor and branded it as Diet Coke (or what have you). But then they learned how to copy the original flavor and they knew at least some people would like that. Hence Coke Zero.
The Dr Pepper thing was about men not wanting zero calorie stuff because it was "effeminate" so they added a de minimus number of calories because they figured people would buy that.
Yup this is just a spreadsheet in a really unusable layout. If I still have to read off numbers instead of seeing them represented visually, I'd rather they be aligned and sorted by the value of the number. There's no reason to plot the numbers geographicly unless there's a pattern related to geography. And without color or something to clearly contrast neighboring states I couldn't see such a pattern even if one existed.
Wow, weird reactions on this thread so far. Supportive of the weight loss, crickets regarding the actual point you're making.
I'm a man who lost 80 lb in my younger days and kept it off. I won't claim to know exactly what you're experiencing because you're obviously subject to different social pressures than me. But I definitely got a similar reaction in some ways. People took me more seriously and were way more likely to assume positive things about me. Suddenly I could be one of the "cool people" without changing anything material about who I was or how I treated people or what I was interested in.
It's really freaky. I didn't trust it and in many ways, 15 years down the line, I still don't. I don't regret it and I don't think you should. It's good to have the physical strength and endurance to do what I want and to keep going. Great for raising a kid, anyways. But I just wanted to chime in to say that your experience is valid and lots of people have gone through it and that yes--weight change isn't gonna make your problems go away, and that's okay. In retrospect a therapist might've been a good idea for me and might be for you. If you're anything like I was, part of this is just adjustment to a big change.
True, but that's answering a different question. Teen pregnancy happens a lot less now than it did then, so the numbers still could've gone down, even if they're still unacceptably high. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to the question either.
Yeah, if you believed this was a hurricane, you don't understand how big hurricanes are. E.g., the diameter of Beryl covers two degrees of longitude. I'm not sure exactly how many miles that is, but it's 69 miles per degree of longitude at the equator, and Beryl is relatively equatorial, so it'd be a safe estimate that this hurricane is a hundred miles across.
You wouldn't see the edge of it like this. In fact, it wasn't until modem satellite imaging that we knew hurricanes weren't just exceptionally strong thunderstorms. We didn't know they had eyes, for example, since the eye of a hurricane is typically 19-40 miles wide.
It partly depends what you count as a good school, really. E.g. in Ivy League Type schools I believe Stanford, Harvard, MIT, U Chicago, Columbia,and Caltech generally have grad/professional student enrollment greater than or equal to undergrad enrollment. Others, like Yale, are more borderline, and there are a few, like UPenn, Princeton, Berkeley, Dartmouth, Brown, and Cornell where undergrads clearly predominate. (For the record I googled all this stuff on mobile and had a hard time efficiently copying sources or gauging their veracity--but I hope folks will accept that I don't care enough about this to lie about it, and will correct me if I made an error.)
Outside that tier, I'd say everyone's pretty much right to dunk on this commenter, tons of great schools like UMich and University of Illinois are not grouped with these, traditionally, but are still highly reputable and definitely prioritize undergrad student enrollment. But inside that tier it looks like it is pretty common for grads to outnumber undergrads. Especially if you're selective within that tier (e.g. I don't think of Dartmouth/Cornell/Brown as having quite the reputation of MIT/Harvard/Stanford).
Reminds me of the Rick and Morty butter robot.
I agree, but on the other hand, it's not like it's easy to find sufficiently knowledgeable people willing to work for what journalists get paid in order to do the science beat, which is not a popular beat for journalists.
Journalists get paid 45-75k/y on average, depending on where they are/what they report on. https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/What-Is-the-Average-Journalist-Salary-by-State Science reporting is not highly profitable so you're not going to earn a salary towards the high end. So basically, we're talking about a post-doc salary for a scientist. https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/What-Is-the-Average-Postdoc-Salary-by-State Except you also probably need a journalism degree, etc., to get into science reporting so there won't be many people making the jump. So it makes more sense to do clickbait and hire the cheapest person you can find. Basically, you get what you pay for.
Nature/Science often do press releases for their own articles that are better written. I don't trust much else when it comes to science news.
But we don't have enough technology and the warp drive wouldn't be enough technology so even if you're right, that's not relevant.
My question was not directed towards the existence of societal collapse, it was directed towards the connection between that and the data of the post. You're hiding the ball
Sorry, which one of those has data about people's trust for their neighbors, the subject of this post and the thing you claim is related to societal collapse?
I didn't realize Donald Trump was on this subreddit.
"I have the best sources. All the sources. I'm not going to show them to you. I could show them to you. And by the way, the other guy has no sources. No sources at all."
You're right. I don't have sources. Because I didn't make a claim. You did, I called it nonsense (because it's nonsense) and you're failing to defend it (because you know it's indefensible). Your DARVO isn't hiding that fact from anyone.
They meticulously adhere to local speed limits and base their estimates on the local signage.
TIL that red foxes can run at speeds of up to 72kmph or 45mph.
