Yes, I’ll cut and paste what I wrote in another thread since I’m grey and you won’t see it otherwise. Apologies for the redundancy if you do.

She is of Danish ancestry on her dad’s side. It’s not recent, but her great great grandfather came from Denmark. (That’s Kirstjen’s father’s father’s father’s father). They have all sorts of mixed European ancestry since then so they are as Heinz 57 as most white people whose family has been here for a long time, but…

Nah, I get the idea that if your movie is a sexpot fantasy, then you want someone with a fantasy body like Momoa or Idris or Hemsworth. Same with women- there are roles that only a woman with a body like Hayek or Berry can fill.

ha ha ha, you’re right! I can’t tell any of the Chris white guys apart except the one that plays Thor. The others all look the same to me. It’s Captain Kirk, Captain America, and the one that hangs with the raccoon. This one is Kirk, right? lol

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. He probably goes around shirtless but not pantless. So his thighs, ass, etc will all be lighter colored than his belly. But the belly likely has hair, makes it look a little darker, also skin is different in fatty areas than in taut areas- it’s normal for someone’s skin color…

Because he’s pretending to be a 14th century outlaw hiding out in Scotland, and they did not have gyms and tanning beds and fitness routines and controlled diets, etc. This is a movie, not a runway. Why in the world would Robert the Bruce have a well-sculpted evenly tanned body?

That is a totally normal flaccid dick, especially coming out of a cold pond. Porn has really skewed so many people’s perception.

I understand what you are pointing out. I’m saying that elective c-sections, after labor has naturally started, for no medically necessary reason, is not quite as riskier as this claims if you compare it to all outcomes of attempted vaginal birth instead of just outcomes of vaginal births that are successful (which is…

BTW in your case, you’d not be included in that study. It compared uncomplicated planned c-sections (in the case of the study, healthy people who had breech babies) with vaginal deliveries that did not result in c-section. Meaning it excludes loads of real life scenarios- including your own which is a vaginal birth…

There are a lot of things that are shit about the modern world, but modern medicine is a miracle! Glad it worked out so well for you and your family.

wow, imagine that. Is this for everyone or a private luxury? 

Yes that’s all true, thanks.

Yes exactly. I get the desire to proceed with a vaginal delivery, but I think the framing of a c-section as something to be avoided is wrongheaded. The whole “birth experience” thing sometimes sets people up for bad decision making- sort of like when you overplan a vacation and then something goes “wrong” and you let…

I’m trying to make this short, but even in that study, risk of some things increased while others decreased, and risk of mortality did not have a statistically significant increase. I could say a lot more, but I’m trying to cut to the chase.

I can’t see what benefit it would be to anyone to have women go off on their own- especially in small tribes. Usually women in places without modern medical traditions would have the woman attended by female family members or older women who were specialists through experience and reputation. It would seem…

They are in some states. In others, it’s the midwife lobby that stops them. They claim it would be an assault on a tradition of women passing down knowledge and experience from one to the other and then being co-opted by the medical and pharmaceutical industry. You’d never be able to get a job with any health care…

A medical provider wouldn’t have let her go on that long in the first place.

It’s weird how these people rationalize it. I read an article some time back about the number of dead babies in midwife-attended home births that were not from high risk pregnancies (meaning they’d no doubt have survived in any hospital). The way the midwives and parents rationalized the deaths was unbelievable. In…

I don’t understand that desire (having a baby at home with as few interventions as possible). I understand the second part, but I don’t see the benefit/appeal of being at home. There is nothing relaxing or special or safe about needing to call 911 and receive emergency care from a paramedic or being transported to an…
