Yeah, cutting, cooking, chemically altering, and dehydrating foods are all forms of processing them. There are very few foods people can actually eat without any form of processing, and the ones that we can offer basically no protein, fat, or complex carbohydrates, mostly just sugar, fiber and vitamins (not necessarily bad, but you need more)

I was unclear. Circumcision predisposes you to STD transmission iirc, but I also couldn’t find anything.

Being intact is also preventative for some stds, iirc, but I couldn’t find anything to support that

There’s bread and there’s bread and there’s bread. All are highly processed, given the milling, kneading, fermentation, and baking required for bread, but there’s a huge gap between wonder bread and Russian black bread. I’d be very surprised if the latter is worse for you than bananas, a starch we eat with very little processing

Education and early childhood support work, that’s why conservatives want to get rid of them

Is that two pictures spliced together? It looks like rubios embarrassed about fucking up the dance steps and Netanyahus trying to to laugh at his awkwardness

That’s a fucking tongue twister.

5, 1, 3, 4, 2 but I don’t actually like any of them. I want the smallest functional fork available (generally around 15cm/6”)

I’d have to wait two weeks, because she doesn’t check her email, but I already bookmarked it

I had my first class on heterogeneity in the classroom today and the teacher would have loved this tweet

14 year olds in factories used to be a punchline. Now it’s just par for the course in some parts of the US

The most infuriating part about it is I know that if I rant about how terrible bbt is, it will only cement me as Sheldon in their minds.

Regarding the former: I’m autistic and have a lot of experiences telling me that I should hide parts of myself from others to be acceptable. It doesn’t work. It’s better for one-off social interactions, and I should rein in my info-dumping in some scenarios, but it’s easier to make better friends if I just share myself with others.

What do you say in lef of that?

I had a beautiful moment related to the word “bellend,” and now I love it.

I was one of two native English speakers in a German class in Germany, and we’d been together 20 hours/week for a few months, so the teacher and students knew each other pretty well. The other native English speaker was blatantly on his phone one day, which was his choice in an adult education class, but it’s disrespectful. The teacher going through gerunds with us (-ing in English, but in German, it’s -end), and after trying to get his attention for a few moments, just shouted, “Mickey, weißt du was “bellend” bedeutet?” (“Mickey, do you know what “barking” means?”) Mickey froze for a second, then told the teacher he was sorry and she was right.

The teacher (who did not speak good enough English to have done it intentionally) was completely caught off guard and I suddenly put it together and nearly lost my shit, but Mickey didn’t know we were doing gerunds and I wasn’t about to explain the meaning of bellend to everyone in the class, so I experienced this perfect crossover of language alone.

Oh my god, that’s what I want too. I would love to have a garden and a nice kitchen and just concentrate on my little world. I’m just not selfish enough to fully abandon everything that’s not in my little bubble.

The wanting isn’t the problem, doing it with no thought for anyone else is.

I’m 33 and just taught my first real class at a university. The students are 19-21, and the first thought I had was that they were all babies. They’re not really, and they deserve all the rights that adults are entitled to, but they’re not dateable for me.

I get that as an instructor there’s another layer of responsibility between us, but they don’t even look fully grown to me
