Carrageenan is infuriating to those of us who aren't supposed to eat it*, because it turns up in all kinds of foods where you're not expecting it. *pretty much anyone with inflammatory/autoimmune digestive stuff going on

Postal Parcel posted:Isn't Cindy McCain the one who said being a mother was the hardest job in the world? It's almost all her money, actually. She inherited some large business from her parents and has expanded it greatly. One of her sons was in Iraq some years ago; the other has been stationed in Guam the whole time, so it's weird that she lumped them together like that.

Krispy Kareem posted:Yeeeeeah, about that. That first big reduction in unemployment was mostly attributable to the NRA, which was repealed (and unemployment went back up), then WWII started in Europe and unemployment shot down again. The thing about that is that it's difficult to quantify the economic impact of government work programs like the WPA and CCC on indices other than straight employment numbers. So the New Deal did have a visible impact on employment, but there are different points of view on how much that benefited the GNP, and what would have happened if the programs hadn't been rolled back, and what would have happened if the war hadn't started... But "worst President ever" is crazy because hello, James motherfucking Buchanan.

The best way to lower population is generally agreed to be providing educational and career opportunities for low-income people, especially low-income women. Cheap or free contraception is the second most effective way.

This is the first person to be diagnosed here, to not appear sick until home for a few days. Hopefully the person didn't infect a bunch of other people first. Obama should have stopped this guy from going to Liberia, I guess? But you know if the State Department actually banned international travel, it would be all "ARE RIGHTS".

Stottie Kyek posted:I thought we did, though? Women tend to see female gynaecologists, men tend to see male urologists, and people ask GPs of the same gender for advice on their respective junk. My mum's a doctor and one of her female colleagues said she had trouble getting any practice with men's issues because everyone went to doctors of the same gender. She said "if I ever see a Peyronie's plaque, I'll put it up on the wall." I think the FB dude's argument was literally as stupid as "Since male gynecologists exist, claiming that women have more expertise on women's reproductive issues is invalid." My dad had a woman urologist at one point. He liked her (not in a creepy way).

TrekBek posted:I hear that "uses less fabric" thing all the time. Is there really any truth behind that? It'd probably explain thongs, though. It's more that you have to recut patterns for plus sizes that raises the cost, not the actual cost of fabric per garment. Tall sizes also generally cost more, for the same reason, not for the extra inches of material at the hemline.

Over here in socialist hellhole, we all get mailed a little ticket-thingie that we have to bring to the polling place, so if nothing else, we get that as a notification that "hey, it's time to vote for [whatever] on [date]". On the other hand, America is hosed up, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My city sends out postcards and puts up signs all over public spaces (in the parks, front lawns of city buildings, etc.) and voter turnout is really high. So much of this stuff is local here.
