What about people who can't donate blood, or can't do so without great inconvenience? Where do you draw the line for moral responsibility?
What about people who have a phobia of needles, suffered from medical abuse, or have adverse reactions to donating blood that makes them sick for a few days or weeks?
If we are talking about people who contribute to other's health through their own bodies, does that mean every mother is at the top of the list because birthing a baby is a contribution to another's health?
What about medical workers working 12hr shifts and completely wrecking their own bodies in the process? Is that a lesser contribution than someone who donates blood once a month? To go further, where would you put a factory worker with repetitive strain injury who makes the medical equipment that is essential to treating others?
If we want to allot the use of blood based on one's contribution of their bodies, we have to first ask what it means to contribute. No donor lives in a vacuum. If you can donate blood, it means you are supported by circumstances that leave you in good enough health to donate blood.
PSA: If you see a cat or dog being fed plant based food and you want to feed them meat, DO NOT do so without the consent of the owner because you can kill them.
Hypoallergenic elimination diets are a real thing for pets that have severe reactions to meat or unknown allergens in pet food. This is usually a temporary diet, but there are rare instances of pets on a long term diet due to the lack of non-triggering meat based foods that work.
Yes, malnutrition can be an issue, but this is lesser of two evils when the other evil is seizures, non stop vomiting, or bloody stools.
This is as meaningless as asking why you think more men die of suicide than women. More women attempt suicide, but men on average use more lethal methods. Think downing a bottle of pills vs a shot to the head.
Statistics in the hands of the uninformed is just noise.
This is a study on glycemic control on fiber. In no way does it claim that fiber supplements are useless because that is not glycemic control is not its only intended use.
I have IBS, and psyllium husk has helped relieve many of my symptoms that many high-FODMAP fruits and vegetables cannot.
Please don't point to a misunderstood study and use it to invalidate other people's symptoms and effective treatments.
Sympathy at the right time and place is how a lot of MAGAs get deconverted.
The key here is the right time and place. Wait for reality to hit them and break them down. They won't learn until they experience the consequences of their own beliefs. Let them stew in it, and then offer sympathy.
Yes, it's fun to dogpile on those morons, but if you want to institute real change, offering no sympathy at all does less than nothing.
Boys can like barbies too. We can acknowledge that gender stereotyping kid's interests was wrong, while acknowledging that their interests don't always define their gender.
For the same price, men's clothing are often far thicker with better quality fabric.
Next time you see a simple men's t-shirt, look at the equivalent for women. It's more expensive and thinner.
People always say 'vote with your wallet' as if women didn't already have to deal with the ridiculousness of non-standard sizes, bloating, bra compatibility, and constantly being heavily judged for appearances. Taking all of this into account, better fabric and pockets are a premium that can't always be afforded or not even offered.
Slogans in foreign languages are sometimes considered prestigious or exotic. They're saying it for the vibes, not for the literal meaning of the words.
Anyone who is picking up their pitch forks at the offender needs to read this thread first. Before you unload your rage, consider taking what the victim did as a learning opportunity.
It was 3:30am in the morning when the shot happened. The neighbor who discharged the firearms rushed downstairs to check on the woman who's PC was shot, thankfully finding that she was not hurt. She was distraught, frantic, and told the PC owner that she will never own a firearm again and pay for all damages. They talked, and the PC owner learned that her daughter just passed away. A police report was still filed, but the PC owner isn't pressing charges. They're getting margaritas later together.
Let me be clear that this absolutely does not excuse what this woman did. However, what the PC owner did likely saved her neighbor's life. You see, at 3:30am in morning, there is only typically one thing people would do with a fire arm, to themselves.
Anyone would be in their right to be angry at this woman after what she did. But the PC owner extended her compassion and became this woman's friend at a time when she had every reason not to.
What the headline could have been was 'woman commits suicide after negligent discharge', but it was not. Imagine if the PC owner was the last person who spoke to her in anger, and imagine if she had to live with that for the rest of their life knowing that she could have done something about it.

It's funny how many people here are discovering the basis of modern feng shui but vehemently deny it if you called it that.

Wish you a speedy post-drome. I had migraines for a year in the past, and the thought of going through that again fills me with dread.

Yes. It's terrible that conservatives love to wiggle their cock around in a child's face.

Wow that's like a microaggression towards my cat.
Most actors and singers aren't successful just because they have talent, it's because they have the right connections in Hollywood.
