  • Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I've been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn't work perfectly but I've made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I'd highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I've become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

  • Our society already does effectively nothing to reconcile people's conflicting schedules. Nor did it attempt to resolve this before the rise of the dual income household. You can see this is in the amount of media that portrays children's trauma from fathers that are "too busy" being a breadwinner to be present in their life. Children want, and NEED all members of their family involved in their life. So I don't think that the rise of women in the workforce deprived families in any unique way. Instead, I'd argue that it simply divided that neglect between two people. It's not "good enough" to have one parent there 24/7 and another who exists to put food on their table and otherwise barely exists in their social life. They need to interact with their father, with their mother, with their uncles, aunts and grandparents. It's simply rational socialization. I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for a "max workhours per household" instead of per person, instead of trying to divide households into a labourer at home and a labourer at large.

  • You are not supposed to downvote "unpopular opinions" because you disagree with them folks. That is not how this sub is supposed to work. OP posted a legitimately unpopular opinion, tell him why he's wrong or upvote responses that disagree, don't downvote him.

    For my two cents OP, I think you have a point about more time needing to be devoted to child rearing. But I disagree that it needs to be a specific parent. If you reduce both parents workload enough to let them balance life responsibilities that's actually BETTER than letting one parent take up all the slack. We require simply TOO much labor from EVERYONE, it's totally unnecessary and wasteful and it's part of what leads to our culture of burnout.

  • Why would he call it a religion? Is it just bitterness over getting disagreed with?

  • Genuinely? I've reported multiple thefts over the years, never had any of it returned. Had to get a bike that was stolen from me (with my full name engraved) back by literally stealing it back from the person I knew stole it in the first place.

  • Extremely gross that they're putting this much effort into protecting only the rich, But completely unsurprising. I don't understand why SO MANY Americans are just completely accepting of this obvious favoritism.

  • The real action is offline. Maybe it’s time to go there.

    A lot of people, myself included, REALLY need to pay attention to that line. I think there is real value in online discourse, honestly, but it should come after helping people in a visible and noticeable way. People notice who offers a helping hand and who has nothing to say but scolding remarks, and that cuts both left and right.

  • You'll almost certainly be alright, keep track of your status and call a nurse/teladoc to see if you need medical assistance. The most important thing is you stay calm and don't let your panic take over.

    Here is some online information I found, I can't tell you how accurate it will be for you, but it seems that a max dosage is at least 70mg, and if I'm reading it correctly, that's for pediatric cases.

  • They're not gonna stop until well past the point where it stops making sense. That's the nature of this, the higher ups are always slow to react, but determined to chase what they perceive as a trend. Throw money at things in the hope of striking rich like fortnite, (honestly it's little better than gambling) they have no understanding, or will to understand, the reasons why some games take off and others fail. So they mindlessly push thinking that's it purely a matter of luck or timing.

  • Time to find out if they've learned the right lessons. I won't be holding my breath.

  • This isn't going to stop, just have to hope enough consumers have the wherewithal to say no to this sort of thing.

  • I hope we can do a little more at some point, but at least it's something. I hope it doesn't get treated as "enough".

  • To an extent, think work friends versus the kinda friends you meet at a concert, or at the gym. It's not necessarily a "different" personality as much as shifting behavior and topics a bit. In short, I'm gonna talk a little different around my young engineering friends vs the guys I've known since high school.

  • It makes me deeply uncomfortable to entertain the thought that "the paper towel industry" is an entity out to manipulate me.

  • I've been reading Shoukoku no Altair. I started it years and years ago and just never finished it. I forgot how much I loved the art style. Also, still plugging along a very slow going One Piece re-read, meant to have caught up by now but I only just finished Enies Lobby.

  • I have waited so long for this.

  • As someone who usually lurks on most forums, it's a combination of not really being completely comfortable with the culture and group dynamics of smaller communities, and also just never feel compelled to add something. Usually I just see someone else has said something pretty close to what I was thinking and I just shrug and say "eh, close enough" and move on.

  • You might be being a bit too harsh on Voyager. They aren't as good as The Visitor, but Living Witness and Blink of an Eye are both really great and have always stuck with me.
