trapped mouse posted:Found on the front page of imgur, with the caption "There is hope. They're starting to open their eyes." ...what? What happened in between "she got raped by a man" and "now when I hear rape, I question if it's real rape"? How does that trivialize rape? Am I the idiot here?

I think he was trying, poorly, to communicate that he knew rape happened and felt that false accusations are desensitizing and trvializing "real" rape. Or something.

Praseodymi posted:I saw that, it doesn't make sense. I had to go back to see if I'd missed the part in the story where anyone had actually lied about being raped. How can your response to someone getting violently taped be 'so many women lie to get men arrested'? Because you spend the majority of your time on reddit listening to MRAs talk about how women deserve it and the majority of rapes are committed by women against men and a friend of mine was just trying to talk to this girl in a bar and then she got him arrested and all sorts of other wonderful stdh.txt.

No, they blame "modern femenists". It's almost after the whole tirade so it seems almost an afterthought.

Postal Parcel posted:...what? Violent rape by random strangers in the street is the only real rape. Anything else, like emotional blackmail, coercion, or taking advantage of an incapacitated person isn't real! If they don't look like they got brutally beaten and physically forced into it then they actually wanted it.  No seriously, that's what it means. "Modern Feminists" have been pointing out that pressuring someone into sex or taking advantage of them counts too, so now the word is trivialized and ruined forever!

I've heard so many arguments back and forth about whether humans are supposed to drink milk. I've heard we aren't "evolved" to digest it properly and etc.

I'm thrown off by the "millions of pus cell in it" line. I don't know if that's true and I don't want to know, or made up, or some fact that took lots of mental gymnastics to get to that interpretation.

The only way milk would have pus in it is if the cow had an infection. It probably came around because of idiotic transitive property arguments, i.e. "milk is a white bodily fluid, and pus is a white bodily fluid, therefore milk has pus in it."

I've heard we aren't "evolved" to digest it properly and etc. Lottery of Babylon posted:But all mammals drink milk after birth. That's part of the definition of mammal. Well at its very barest bones this is true. What the person meant by "drink milk after birth" was "drink milk after childhood". And it's true! Humans are the only animals who do so and we weren't "evolved" to do so. Lactose intolerance is in fact a hold over from our earlier state. Most mammals, humans thousands of years ago included, stop producing lactase (the enzyme that allows digestion of milk) as they age. Some early human societies, however, realized that animal milk was a valuable source of nutrients and started to try drinking it into adulthood. Now most human populations have reached the point where we do continue producing lactase into adulthood. People who are lactose intolerant are part of the natural genetic variation who still have the older trait to stop producing it as they age. So the basic facts are right, but what these people are ignoring is that with regards to humans what is "natural" for us to eat is pretty meaningless in a modern context. Here read about lactase persistence it's pretty interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase_persistence

PETA supporters are the same group that claim eating a chickens egg is exactly the same as eating your sisters menstrual blood soaked tampons, so it's probably straight bullshit.

Most of the garbage humans eat every day stops being "food" somewhere along the line anyway. Fried, heavily salted or heavily sweetened. Or made out of paste and molded into shapes.

Well, cow milk does have white blood cells in it. Pus is basically just dead white blood cells with dead bacteria and tissue in it.. That's basically the connection they make.

Goat milk is more easily-digested because it's much closer in composition to human breast milk than cow's milk. I'm not even lactose-intolerant and I've switched to all-goat dairy because goat milk, butter, and cheese just leaves me feeling better. Wonder what the woo-woo folks have to say about that.

I live in a cesspool of hippies and they generally treat goat milk like the second coming of Christ. Then again, these are people who actively oppose pasteurization so their opinions on dairy products are basically meaningless.

I'll never be able to drink it straight due to that. Goat's cheese is absolutely delicious though so the more cheese the better. Apparently there isn't much lactose in older/harder cheeses so that's a good thing to keep in mind.

I hate all the "It isn't natural!" "This isn't what our ancestors did!" bullshit. Our ancestors were animals that tried to get enough nutrients to live any way they could. Sucking the marrow out of bones was a major source of nutrition. Early human's lives sucked. Also most of these people call themselves "nutritionists" which isn't even a protected term. Actual certified experts are called dieticians.

People involved in Idle No More on my facebook have been trying to convince me to do some "decolonized diet!!!!!!!" thing and I'm just not buying it. Truly decolonized means like...absolutely no leavened bread given our area, even our "traditional" bread, which is bannock was introduced by Scottish settlers and was fried in lard so not exactly healthy. I can see wanting to stick with fish, game meat, berries, but heck, even wild rice is not original to this area. but you know, OUR ANCESTORS!!! My ancestors are Metis so I get all the pea soup I want, I guess. I can indulge in all the apparently horrible colonized cuisine, whatever that means.

I just read an article the other day about Soylent powder. Apparently it's a weird soup mix that you can live on for long periods of time and it provides all the nutrients you need. It's still really expensive right now though, like ten bucks a day to live on it

The same bacteria does the same thing to turn milk to yogurt. I'm not completely lactose intolerant, but I'm getting there, and I've started to eat my cereal with a scoop or two of yogurt instead of milk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NCigh54jg He lived on it for 30 days, supposedly. quote:Is Soylent the future of food? CEO Rob Rhinehart lived on his liquid invention for 30 days straight, and the feat propelled him to internet fame and fortune. So I decided to become the first person to repeat his feat—for a month straight, I'd try to live on nothing but the chemical cocktail, just like Rob. Along the way, I'd investigate how an artificial food replacement might impact human health, Silicon Valley, and the world at large. This is the story of life after food.
