Not saying it’s a bad idea but I don’t remember having anyone look at my breasts or genitals at all until I was 17/18 (and going to the gyno because I had started being sexually active). Maybe they did it when I was really little before I can remember (I do know my mom said they had to switch me from baths to showers…

I’d also say it’s a different strategy whether you are using the protein powder purely to supplement protein, or as an ingredient to add protein to a meal replacement shake. Blending it up with a banana and a tablespoon or two of peanut butter is obviously not a good idea if you’re trying to minimize calories. But if…

They’re a bit harder to find, but you can also buy protein powder without stevia. It’s pretty hard to find vegan powder sweetened with sucralose or similar (which I think tastes way better than stevia). Probably because there is a fair amount of overlap between the people going out of their way to buy a protein powder…

But the key thing is that you ultimately did take action to compensate for it if you are “often the first person to anything”. Meanwhile the end part of the article seems to suggest that others can’t be annoyed at someone with time blindness for being late because they have a medical condition. I think that’s what…

Did you miss the part where they said “I am often the first person to anything because I have to overcompensate for it”? They are being considerate.

“The typical advice given to those who need to get somewhere on time—just wake up an hour earlier!—is based on the assumption that a person has the ability to gauge time accurately. For people with time blindness, this advice won’t work.”

I don’t really understand how waking up an hour earlier wouldn’t help here, if…

Maybe this is a state issue rather than a federal one, but the government in general can totally do something about public college tuition. And then if someone wants to go to an expensive private college anyway, I don’t really see why we as a society should subsidize that.

Yeah I mean I think the dude in the story was being super dramatic about a 78 degree setting killing his kid. But that’s very different from saying AC is not needed at all.

Honestly for a lot of cases of buying stuff during Prime Day, the best alternative is just not buying things you don’t need just because they’re on sale. That said, for things like electronics, and if you were already planning to buy the item anyway, I really don’t see how buying it from Amazon is worse than buying it…

Idk I realize it ultimately doesn’t really matter, but scattering somewhere in nature seems way better than the trash, no?

I guess hindsight is 20/20 but a simple masking tape + permanent marker label would have solved this problem without costing any additional money. I also just looked it up and you can get a cheap urn for like $50. Although, I suppose that might not help much without a label, unless you had different style urns for the…

Idk, I’m not sure I’d want a call from an ex-husband I hadn’t spoken to at all in 20 years, even if it were about my mother’s ashes. Especially since it clearly wasn’t a big enough deal to the ex-wife to make sure she had them all. If I were her I might prefer not knowing, assuming OP and the husband are going to…

What gets me is articles complaining about how machines or isolation exercises are “ineffective” vs. compounds. When for a lot of people, isolating one muscle at a time is the whole point.

Comparing to 2020 or earlier in 2021 seems like a bit of a misleading comparison, no? From what I’ve seen airfare is still somewhat cheaper than 2019, actually.

Yup, this is also how summer camps keep all their kids in sight on field trips.

The fatality rate looking at the overall population (or anyone over 18) versus only those above a certain age is way lower than 4%, actually. Probably about an order of magnitude below that. So yeah, terrible as a bioweapon.

I get that this would be logistically difficult, but it really feels like younger kids should have half grade levels. Where kids with birthdays January-June in a given year are grouped together and start 1st grade (learning to read, etc.) in September, while kids with birthdays July-December are in a different group…

Unpopular opinion maybe but my gym is allowing no masks for vaccinated people without any verification and I’m fine with this? I’m fully vaccinated so why would I care? I know the vaccine is not 100% and unvaccinated people around me masking further reduces that risk, but the risk is already so low for vaccinated…

I agree a lot of these “entry-level” jobs that require experience are just a way to low-ball salary. However, some fields operate where most graduates are expected to have done an internship prior to graduation. These internships are mostly paid (or if unpaid, they’re relatively few hours per week and usually done…

Somehow this “tipping” thing feels way worse than just regular old interest rate gouging. Especially their argument that you should tip because some people might not be able to afford to. Like, isn’t everyone who is using a cash advance in a pretty bad financial position?
