  • F.D.A. to Issue First Approval for Mass Drug Imports to States From Canada

    Jump

  • As a fellow Canadian, I share your concerns. I’m all for helping people out, but there are better ways than allowing a state to cripple Canada’s already struggling health care system.

  • I wonder how this will impact Canada

  • Why do we have an internal monologue?

  • I’ve never heard of that idea before, but it’s really interesting! I wonder how they’d be able to prove something like that?

  • While I agree with you on most accounts, Milwaukee drills have cheap switches on them, they’re usually the first to hang to go. The chucks seem kinda cheap too, but honestly that’s not enough for me to switch teams, I’m married to Milwaukee, and the divorce would just be too damn expensive at this point.

  • Why do we have an internal monologue?

    Jump

  • It seems to me that you’re attempting to equate an internal monologue with intelligence, and I don’t think that’s a fair assumption. An internal monologue is just a brains way of formatting its thoughts and feelings about the information that flows in. There are many ways to do this, and one way isn’t necessarily “superior” to another. That’s just how brains work. And while many intelligent people do have this internal monologue, it’s absolutely not necessary for intelligence.

    Side note, one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met is aphasiac, and doesn’t have an internal monologue.

  • Oregon Airport Unveils Unconventional Stress-Busters: Meet The Therapy Llamas Bringing Joy To Travelers

    Jump

  • As fun as it would be to see a llama in an airport, having them around would kick up my allergies big time, which would be hell to deal with on a plane with all the pressure changes thrown in.

    Pass.

  • [Answered] Do "chest pillows" hurt for women to do?

    Jump

  • Usually that doesn’t hurt, but that doesn’t mean that it never hurts. Really it depends on how sensitive they are, or if there are underlying issues (like cysts deep inside the tissue, maybe) that would make pressure on them very uncomfortable, or downright painful.

  • While everyone is watching the world stage and some are predicting WWIII, isn't there a good chance that the USA is getting close to some kind of civil war?

    Jump

  • Uh, lots and lots of people are hungry, lack shelter and jobs. Almost 600,000 people in the US right now are unhoused, and one in eight homes are food insecure (roughly 44 million). The only area where the US is doing good right now is the unemployment rate, which is currently sitting at an ideal 3.7%.

    As for causes of civil war, economic inequality plays a large role, as does political deprivation, both of which are rampant (you can thank late-stage capitalism for the first, and the far-right for the second). There are other factors at play, of course, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility for the US to go there.

    Is it automatically & inherently anti-semitic to criticise an individual Jewish person for something unrelated to their Jewish heritage?

    Jump

  • No, in the same way that it’s not sexist to criticize a person for something unrelated to their gender, and it’s not racist to criticize someone for something unrelated to their “race” or ethnicity.

    I think the person in your example is being an asshole, and they clearly don’t understand the definitions of antisemitism or misogyny. Assholes are everywhere, in every country, culture, and religion. Nowhere is exempt. Which is a shame, because people everywhere are deserving of dignity and respect.

    Except for assholes.

  • I think being kind to others, even Abbott and his cronies (who I truly hate), and other of like minded colleagues, is the best medicine.

    This is all well and good, but there is a difference between being kind and being nice. I think people conflate the two far too often. If I had kids (which I do not) I’d want to make certain they understood the difference.
