It stimulates the salivary glands, and saliva does prevent tooth decay.

Nah, there’s no wood paneling!

I bought cutlery a few years ago and decided to get exactly what I wanted, not what was standard, and I not only ended up with golden-colored, wood handled cutlery that everyone else thought was hideous, I only got fully round spoons, in both teaspoon size and standard soup spoon size.

I loved that cutlery. My old roommate… gratefully tolerates it. I just have a giant mouth and never realized it could be an issue, but even the small ones were surprisingly unpopular

My point is that a lot of people in the US genuinely do need mental health care and can’t get it. Those people are one of the demographics of people for whom this is the biggest victory. So mentally ill people, poor people, and people with long-term illnesses are more likely to be cheering rn

Well hey, maybe we’re all trying and failing to get appointments with covered therapists. If only health insurance weren’t so byzantine and inaccessible for people outside of the upper class…

I think of the meme of first world problems as unimportant. Obesity is straight up killing people though, so I don’t know if it really fits. Especially because it’s so strongly inversely correlated with wealth. It’s literally a problem associated with living in the first world and being poor.

Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.

Good goddamn, Jefferson was wrong again. I bet this is what a lot of judges are thinking about when looking at J6 cases.

That all leads back to cultural exchange and trade through the sea though.

Thank you! I’m not a native German speaker, so I really appreciate that :)

Morgenlich

When I was 13, we went on vacation to sprinkle my mom’s ashes. The radio in our rental car didn’t work, and we were driving from the Muir Woods to Big Sur and San Francisco during the week, so there was a lot of time in the car. The only cds we had were a Beatles greatest hits album, which got old pretty quickly, and Dennis learys no cure for cancer (my mother died of cancer), which we listened to several times. Luckily, we all thought the situation was pretty funny, though it is the worst vacation I’ve ever had.

That’s because the sins are about exerting your will over others’/the community’s benefit and we use greed to mean wanting. Pride is greed for accolades, sloth is greed for rest, wrath is greed for emotional release.

That’s what the spoiler is for. Note that I corrected one of the few correct things about that comment

I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s “day in age,” not “day and age,” what would that even mean, lol

They began testing a vaccine for smoking based cancer a few months ago. Emphysema and COPD are still things to worry about, but cancer might not be for long.

Old people (I’m not even old yet) who used to sit like the below picture and have incapacitating back pain when they sit wrong now.

Our food is not as nutritious and we don’t exercise enough. We also have micro plastics, but they had lead and asbestos, so who knows on that.

I do worry that this might have a “cried wolf” effect for victims of actual antisemitism.
