Why would you use a plastic spatula? I use wood with teflon - doesn't scratch and isn't floppy!

I don't know, it feels creepy to me. I think she should know.

A cousin is taken as fair game in many countries, health risks in children are low. Better get tested first to make sure. Many cousins are not in close contact through their childhood, so they don't feel sibling-like wierdness.

That's a good approach. I tried to search for celebrations in 2024 to make it recent, because those things can change, but I didn't get enough relevant pictures to decide (most celebrations with obvious women were indoors). There would surely be other ways to find out what is the current women rghts situation in Syria (and it could also differ regionally, I expect). I won't be able to go down that rabbit hole today, though. If you happen to have more information, be sure to share, I'm genuinely interested.

On the other hand, someone might find it better to die having sex than having cancer or something...

I was talking about toxins in general in reaction to yout toxin comment. I think it's logical to research the possibility of alcohol having some beneficial effects, the world is not black and white.

When it comes to studies of health risks/benefits of alcohol, they unfortunately seem to suffer from the same shortcomings as other health studies: lots of important factors are often ignored, like the type of alcoholic beverage consumed, lifestyle connected to the type or amount of alcohol, previous history of alcohol use... I can, of course, give you a link to a study that finds benefits to moderate alcohol use (although they are far from recomending it). Here's one example from 2023

Personally, I think alcohol probably does more damage than benefit even in moderate dosing, but the truth is we still don't really know and we need much more in-depth studies to find out.

I'm pretty sure this is THE ONE blackface that is allowed. Or am I missing some joke in your comment?

Get the fuck away from the country, more strikes are probably coming - would be my advice. Not possible for everyone though.

There's not a single woman if you take a look at the video and the photos in the article. The comment is based.

How?

I wish more clergy had consensual sex with adults of the same social status. Way to go.

The other one was a 60 yrs old guy. Assuming it was coerced is a leap. They were both adult men of similar age.

In their age fun can have unexpected effects. 60 is not that old, but it can happen. At least he did have some fun, an adult consensual fun is ok.

New ones are born every day, as the "women's purpose" dictates. I wish it was a generation thing, but I'm afraid it's ingrained on a deeper level.

I like it too. There's no bad taste. There's only my taste or taste of the group I belong to (often interpreted as good) and the taste of the others, different from mine (usually interpreted as bad).

I do get that, I was interested in the amount of milk and the name of the healthy things it blocks from being absorbed - there might be more than one, right?

Yes, but in case of this kind of nutrition/health studies the correlation=/=causation is often a big problem. There are usually so many things at play and the studies just look at a tiny subsetof them, making the results irrelevant or just plain wrong. I think this field would benefit greatly from a more ecological approach - in ecology, scientists often use methods for multidimensional analysis of a big number of factors that can or do influence the studied problem. This is rarely seen in medicine and nutrition, unfortunately.

I didn't really understand the abstract, I'm affraid. Is CGA the same thing as chlorigenic acid and is that the antioxidant you're talking about? Also, did they test coffee with a little milk? The abstract makes it sound like they tested coffee without milk and coffee made entirely of milk, which doesn't happen in real life. I am confused.

Many toxins have medicinal uses.
