  • The iron is obviously vital, but it's not in anywhere near the concentration that people imagine

    It's also iron the ion (it rhymes!) not elemental iron in an appreciably ferromagnetic form

    Iron isn't the only thing that's affected by magnetism anyway

    Not that it applies to biological systems, but liquid oxygen is affected by magnets. It's pretty cool (well, extremely cold, but ya know... 🥁)

  • I have gender-neutral toilets in my house, so do all my friends

    In fact, every household I've been in had gender-neutral toilets

    They worked out fine

    I've had creepy guys stare at my dick in men-only toilets, I've never had a problem with it in gender-neutral

    It stands to reason that the problem is segregated toilets

    (actually, it's men, but I'm sure even here there will be the "nOt AlL mEn!" types)

  • I hope you have all the happiness that you deserve

    Sadly, the stupidity and ignorance of America has an effect on the rest of the world

    You cunts export your wars, both military and cultural, so the rest of us definitely take notice

    Shit, most of us know more about your history and political system than the typical apathetic, indoctrinated yank by a long shot

    I stand by my original point. People were manipulated, and now they're facing the consequences

    I doubt anything will change. America is a fundamentally broken country. It was founded on cruelty and lies, and not a fucking thing has changed

  • Not at all

    I'm lucky, I don't live in America

    But the Republicans are demonstrably worse, so black or middke-eastern people voting for Trump, or not voting at all out of some misplaced sense of superiority by not engaging, are a part of the problem

  • I genuinely think that weed is one of the most insidious substances, because when you're even a little bit drink, it's obvious, and you can't function

    But you can be low-level stoned, and pass, but you're not actually able to get shit done

    You're not sloppy like a drunk, but you're dulled, kinda stupid and useless

    And that's you for the rest of your life, because your brain will be fundamentally altered. You can stop smoking, but the effect on your prefrontal cortex is permanent. You'll forever be the age you started using heavily

    When I was seventeen, that sounded great...

    In my forties, I know better

  • There's a fine line between use and abuse

    I drink

    A lot

    It has caused problems in the past, right now it's not affecting my work or anything else, so while I know it's a snarling beast on the end of a tight chain, it's still leashed

    I'm very aware of how easy it is to let that leash loosen, because then shit runs away

    I know why I'm doing what I do right now, and it's not a situation that will last forever.

    I also know that the first lie someone with a problem tells is to themself

    I have lost people to substance abuse

    It's easy to pretend that weed isn't like other substances because you're not stumbling or throwing up, but it's not different at all. It's you using something because you want to feel something different

    Don't forget that there's a reason why people make jokes about stoners, and it's impossible to see that you're one of them when you're numbed by weed

    If you aren't happy without weed, you won't be happy with it. It's just dulling the corners of reality, and it's temporary.

    Substance abuse is wild, and seductive

    It'll never ask anything of you, and yet it will take and take until you have no more to give, and you won't see it coming, because you will always find a justification while the substance is in control

    "It's just.."

    "It's only a little..."

    "I deserve a reward..."

    Good luck to you, deep down, we all know

    We're great at lying to ourselves. The fact that you're asking the question is a great start

    Kia kaha
