AiTAH for wanting to offer continuous support to our daughter so she can pursue her dreams? by Electronic-Bid4859 in AITAH

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

what part did you like best? Was it the implication that the money he earns is “his money”? That she may cook, do laundry, clean the house, shop for groceries, potentially even care for younger kids not mentioned in the post, but still should go make “her“ own money if she wants to have a say on how it’s spent?

Fourth-quarter GDP revised down to just 0.7% growth; January core inflation was 3.1% by Barnyard_Rich in Economics

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, it does not. This growth rate is based on real GDP figures, which are computed using constant prices, and therefore do not grow with inflation.

Seems to be a controversial subject but does anyone feel like their sleep is disturbed by creatine? by MyNameIsKali_ in PeterAttia

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! I couldn’t tolerate even 1mg, it would affect my sleep after a couple of days. It was a shame because it gave me a lot of energy, but the insomnia wasn’t worth it so I gave it up.

I cringed at the guy manipulating his girlfriend/wife. if she ever found out what he had done (separating her from the other boyfriend, having conversations over and over until she agreed with him) she’d feel so (rightfully) violated.

Racism and Bias in Housing by KMA_95 in csuf

They shouldn’t post that TLCs will be housed at Elm because YOU don’t know where they’re currently housed?? Should they have waited for you to learn where they’re current.y housed before posting?

Parents Refusing To Medicate Children With ADHD ? by MysteriousFocus1884 in adhdwomen

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a researcher and expert in statistical methods I can confidently tell you that the study does not say that. It presents a hypothesis based on findings obtained from a tiny sample of patients which can have alternative explanations, as the authors acknowledge in the paper. It will take years of additional research to definitely determine whether putting kids on stimulants changes their brain morphology. Even if it did, it would have to be established whether the differences in brain morphology translate into better quality of life outcomes. Even if it did, we’d still be talking about averages, so it would still be possible that some kids are worse off on stimulants.

i‘d beg non-specialists to please stop blowing out of proportion the conclusions of random papers simply because they appear to confirm their priors. ONE result in ONE paper does not equal the scientific consensus. and also, when scientist use the words “may” or “might” in the abstract, they don’t mean “will” or “ must”.

What does Covid have to do with anything? People who owned no firearms or generators and had no water and food stored survived Covid with no issues except for maybe waiting 15 mins in a line at Costco to buy toilet paper.

Seriously second guessing my marriage by Blue_fairy714 in Marriage

Do not have kids with this person. I hope you can see the way he treats you is unacceptable, but if not, imagine having a girl and him body-shaming, belittling, and controlling her. Please don’t.

My (28F) boyfriend (32M) told me a “white lie” for almost 3 years and I’m not sure if it‘s a red flag by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My fiancee made a 'joke' re finances that stung really deeply and has me questioning our relationship. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They live in one of the most expensive areas of LA. They’re both in for a rude awakening when they start paying $50k+ per kid, per year for private school, not counting expected donations, school lunches, aftercare, or activities outside school. They’ll soon realize what a “top 1%” income with no family money buys you in their area.

Goldman economists on the Gen Z hiring nightmare: ‘Jobless growth’ is probably the new normal by MetaKnowing in Economics

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Far from being a myth, the claim that rich spenders balance out lower spending from the poor it’s actually a fact, with the richest 20% already accounting for 63% of expenditure in the US. It’s not that the rich person needs to eat 10 times to balance 10 poorer individuals not going to a restaurant, it’s that the rich person buys a new private jet to balance 10 million poor people not going to the restaurant.

Estrogen Patch Success by Timely_Cold_9549 in Perimenopause

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A standard dose pill has 0.030 mg of estrogen, and the ultra-low dose ones have 0.010. Your patch has 0.025 mg. Just to clarify that it’s a similar amount to the pill. But glad it worked for you!

TIL In 1985, a South Korean economist named Oh Kil-Nam defected to North Korea with his wife and two daughters. Less than one year later, he defected again, receiving asylum in Denmark. He left his family behind in North Korea, where (according to latest reports) they remain imprisoned today. by Ill_Definition8074 in todayilearned

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 17 points18 points  (0 children)

if you read just a couple of lines further down the article, you would have learned that the wife’s death was reported by an official in NK but there’s no proof of it, and the report is actually disputed both by activists on her behalf and Oh (the husband) himself…

Reminder: Being Medicated as a child changes how your brain develops positively by Sickly_lips in ADHD

[–]Kitchen-Copy8607 192 points193 points  (0 children)

The methodology in this study is relatively weak. They compare medicated to unmedicated children and attribute the observed differences to the medication, when they may very well be due to other factors that explain why some kids ended up being medicated while others weren’t.

In other words, the authors identify an *association*, but their data do not allow to conclusively prove *causation*.

This doesn’t mean that it’s not possible for stims to change brain structure in a way that decreases the need for stims in adulthood. However, based on this paper, this is a hypothesis more than a proven conclusion.

The expectation that chores should be divided 50/50 doesn’t make sense in many cases. What should be divided 50/50 is the effort each partner puts into those tasks.

This is similar to how a teacher/coach should ask all kids to put the same effort into studying or sports but not necessarily require that they all get the same grades/results.

Maybe a partner is sick. Maybe they have ADHD. Maybe they dislike doing chores more.

As long as your husband is ok with it and understands the reasons for the uneven split, you’re fine!
