I think the pay issue is *another big contributor. Women are more likely to accept lower paying jobs, particularly ones like caring professions or teaching, whereas men have a tendency towards higher paying jobs (in part due to the lack of support for pregnancy, parental leave, and childcare expenses).

The problem with that is you are then putting the burden on a member of that hated group to present themselves as a paragon and suffer all the vitriol and abuse that gets hurled at them until the hateful person hopefully snaps out of it.

Having been the sole woman in many male-dominated spaces, I gotta tell ya, it is a special kind of hell to try to be that positive example.

From the commenter above talking about negative experiences with talking to women and female therapists, I think the real solution is that men need to be proactive about supporting each other. Ranting and raving about how women are terrible and don’t know how to help men with an undercurrent of expectations that women (especially a romantic partner) should fix everything is simply not a tenable mindset.

As a woman who works in the medical field, I am keenly aware of my limitations when it comes to helping men with mental health issues. I think the real, effective solution is for men to start opening up to each other and supporting each other the way that women tend to do among themselves. I don’t mean this as “oh, men are terrible and they need to fuck off somewhere else with their problems”, I mean it as a sincere belief that the best people to help a man through emotional or psychological problems are probably other men given the shared socialization and perspective.

I don’t think the open internet is a great place to open up about your mental health either. Trusted family, friends, and medical/mental health professionals are the best resources. Entrusting something as precious as your mental health to AI or the internet is a profoundly bad idea.

Look, I just finished my medical board exams recently. My brain is running on the power of about 2/3rds of a yukon gold potato here.

You need the chicken to be 165F or 74C to be food safe. It takes a long time to cook at 100-200C because the heat is being transferred much slower. If we’re using this instant slap-based cooking method, it only needs to get to the food safe temperature.

Using the OP’s calculations and a cooked temperature of 74C:

It would take 8315 average slaps

or

A slap at around 813m/s or 1819mph.

*Edit for a correction to the second calculation (it still might be wrong), also, I rounded the numbers to whole integers.

Minnesota: Honeycrisp apple hard cider and fried Ellsworth cheese curds.

But the front/hood is much shorter in length. Also, people driving that type of van are much more likely to be doing so in a professional capacity and are significantly less likely to be asshole drivers fucking around with their phone while driving. People are bad drivers at baseline quite frequently, but if someone is on the job in a van used for commercial purposes, they’re more likely to at least be paying attention and not speeding everywhere.

Edit: I marked up your image to illustrate the point made much more eloquently in the video. Because of the length of the hood, the truck has a much longer distance of road obstructed from view in front of it, and this is with a standard truck that doesn’t have one of the very popular lift kits (and assuming that the driver is relatively tall.)

Here’s a great video by Fort Nine that explains how and why the shape and size of these trucks are a threat to everyone outside the vehicle.

It isn’t a vaccine. It’s a slow-release compound like the Depo Provera shot that is used for birth control. It’s an amazing option for people who have trouble with daily pills for any reason and it’s more effective than the PrEP pills available on the market today.

Unfortunately, it’s not a vaccine. It’s similar to the Depo Provera shot in that it releases the active medication over a long time from a gel injected into a muscle, but it doesn’t grant immunity when the drug is not present in the system the way a vaccine would.

The issue is that the title of the story implies that it was entirely due to the organism that the Irish people suffered so many deaths. Context matters and they framed this in the worst way possible.

The Irish people were growing tons of crops besides potatoes, but the British landlords took everything besides the potatoes as cash crops/taxes, leaving them only the potatoes to actually eat. There was more than enough food to prevent those deaths, but the Irish people weren’t allowed to eat it.

Given how many Nazis are kicking around these days, I’m starting to think that might have been the case. The 3rd reich just played the long game.

Tesla owners usually have to get insurance through Tesla because most insurance companies refuse to underwrite those death traps.

From the perspective of human fetal development, the structures will develop into a vulva, vagina, uterus, and ovaries unless the fetus has its own DHEAS and testosterone to alter the growth pattern. There are plenty of people that have XY chromosomes that have entirely female genitalia because their testosterone receptors are broken.

Well, if we’re talking about the Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell, it wouldn’t be all bad. They were capable of enlightenment and self-sacrifice.

I was looking for someone to mention Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop.

What are your thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist? I personally adore FMA: Brotherhood and I think it meets these criteria.

*Raise taxes on poor people. The billionaires can easily just fly to Europe for a shopping spree attached to their regular weekend jaunt and bring everything home in their luggage (if they cared about the prices of anything to begin with, that is).

As a nerdy gal on the Internet, I envy Joanna.
