It’s not perfect, but it’s a fuckton better than most media, imagine if all we had was Piers Morgan’s smug fat face spouting bile Next you'll tell me the media in the US isn't insanely deferential to conservatives despite being reviled as "liberal " by those same conservatives!

Read After Burning posted:...Is this just crypto fin-dom? I somehow skipped over the lavender thing because I focused on the "you shouldn't only eat soy" part. Like I know it's considered more feminine, now that all hygiene products are gendered you won't find lavender scented stuff in the "men's soap" section, but I didn't think there was an idea it was inherently feminizing the same way idiot's think soy is.

Skwirl posted:There's a lot of jokes to be made about how a poo poo ton protein powders and muscle builder stuff and what not contain soy, but they are technically correct that if you are trying to build muscles, eating soy to the exclusion of all other foods, wouldn't be a great idea. I spend a fair amount of time in vegan spaces online, and so we get more than a few people asking the "Soy? Estrogen?" questions, and I have unironically found that like...the easiest way to get them to accept it's not an issue is "I can say as a trans person, if soy actually did what that implies, all the trans women and transfemme people I know would be eating nothing but tofu." All the scientific studies in the world do gently caress all, but that seems to do the trick.

Lemniscate Blue posted:How is a wallet drainer site a thing that can even exist? How is cryptocurrency infrastructure that vulnerable? Wallet drainers work because people buying nfts and crypto are idiots who disable passwords and automate transaction agreements because those things would require them to spend a little time remembering codes and typing things in every time they buy or transfer something. Even "legitimate" dealers and broker sites instruct users to disable that poo poo for ease of use, its so bad.

There's been a few cases where a mom feeds her son huge amounts of lavender essential oil and the kid grows breasts, or other hormone fuckery. It's real-ish. I'm sure lots of substances would have effects like that if you megadosed them over a long period.

Essential oil craziness is all about taking a product that purely exists for the purpose of smelling nice and then ascribing health benefits to chugging it by the gallon. And then some of those substances with the nice smells are actually pharmacologically active and, if you take enough, actually do things to your body aside from how smelling it makes you feel.

lavender is lovely in certain fruitty deserts. My lemon berry bread pudding recipe calls for lavender to be steeped in the milk. Alas it has done nothing for my tits.

Fighting Trousers posted:Were they afraid he'd use the glamour on them? It was literally the law that british media couldnt broadcast "direct statements" from various republican and loyalist groups. The dubbing (and/or subtitling) was a work-around, because if its not his voice then its technically not a direct statement. Anecdotally I've heard that Adams wasnt that bothered and was known to ask journalists "Who's doing my voice tonight?" as he prefered some of the actors over the others. It was removed in the 90s because if I remember correctly, the government finally realised it was loving stupid. Its worth noting that the ban was widely disliked by the news media and commonly mocked by comedy shows.

Of loving course it's her fault. Nothing bad happens to a woman without her provoking it. And I guess he killed himself from the horror of his whoopsie.

Off-the-grid, bushcraft, foraging, etc and others like it are pretty popular now, yeah. Wilderness survival courses are taught in a lot of places. My university has wilderness survival as a mandatory course for anyone who wants to go through their pilot license program. I took that course myself, it was a lot of fun. Someone I went to university with is going to be on the TV show 'Alone'. A lot of my friends are into it, including people in their 20s. But we live in a place where it's easy to try out and get experience.

The surgeon general is actually a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Services and does warrant a salute from other uniformed services. Same goes for officers of the National Oceanic and Air Administration (NOAA).

https://twitter.com/TeleTVRadio/status/1538965160471187457 It just keeps going and going. Some of these tweets aren't even describing the premise of the show, just doing a circa 2016 Fox News 2 Minutes Hate about "triggered snowflakes." Love the framing of a "freedom of speech mob" opposing the "woke brigade." Who are they, the people who send rape threats to people who put girl cooties in videogames, or the Proud Boy mobs physically attacking Pride events?

I was trying to figure out if it was British or American, but they all look fat so I assume it's British (Americans are fatter, but American producers wouldn't put fat people in their reality show, it'd be skinny people from LA that aren't quite hot enough to be models). You have 60 million people, it's not that hard to find 12 out of shape ones that want to be famous and vastly overestimate their wilderness skills.

Hey guys, did you know that if you take a 20 year old who has been born and raised in the city for their entire life and throw them into the harshest, most unforgiven locations on earth like the middle of the desert or the Arctic they would probably die. What a pathetic generation.
