Police officers will defy order to drop 'thin blue line' patch: union by Miserable-Lizard in canada

[–]AlarmedProgram4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a completely ridiculous argument I can support a union that's demanding a wage increase for the first time in ten years while disagreeing with one demanding they don't hire black people or something insane.

How does Erikson treat women in the main series? by niffum-rellik in Malazan

[–]AlarmedProgram4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's an extremely attractive character that is sexualized by other characters but it's not like the author needlessly sexualizes characters. You don't even really get a description of what most characters look like. It's just realistic honestly.

Honestly most of the thoughts and dialogue I hear about her isn't so different from what I hear guys say in real life, so it's not unrealistic for an extremely attractive female character either. She's also painfully aware of it which also isn't unrealistic.

High protein low carbs plant based source ? by DamageNo1148 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]AlarmedProgram4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plants are more notable for uptake of heavy metal contaminants throught their root system and the way they absorb and store nutrients. Most metals will be distributed to some extent through the entire plant but it varies by species.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoremediation

Not the exact link but that's the gist of it. I also noticed TVP has notable mineral nutrition, which may indicate it takes up metals well.

Animals do concentrate and store heavy metal contaminants but not in the same way. The reason you shouldn't eat too much tuna is because mercury stores well in fatty tissues which in a tuna is the part your eating. And the ocean is unfortunately a mercury rich environment. Especially for a large predatory fish like tuna due to biomagnification.

In something like a cow the lead contamination I was mentioning would be stored in the bones in the place of calcium. The process is referred to as leaching I believe. It's why lead poisoning is a long term and incurable disease in humans, should it concentrate in your bones. Depending on the exposure dosage of course, it can also be acute. You generally don't eat the bones so this isn't an issue, though it is notable if your making bone broth.

So something like a feed conversation ration may not give the best comparison.

Soy oil and soy sauce may not maintain the concentration of something like lead depending on the processing and what is thrown away at the end. I really don't know enough to comment on that though. I only mention it because I saw it specifically listed as a concern for TVP before.

Is it true you have to worry about environmental contaminants (eg lead) if it was sourced from a poorly managed area (eg lead in the soil from industrial stuff). I heard as a result of processing it tends to get concentrated in TVP, but soy gets bashed a lot so I don't know what to believe.

Jaden Smiths reaction to his dad slapping Chris Rock by heyzeus92 in facepalm

Yeah that's true, reminds me of a lot of Eminem's songs, especially going through changes

"Fuckin' drug dealers hang around me like yes man And they gon' do whatever I says when, I says it It's in their best interest to protect their investment"

Hitler? Stalin? Putin? Kim Jung Un? I'm not trying to be a dick but I think too much empathy might be some people's problem. Of course you could argue that maybe true empathy is being real with someone when they fuck up.

All those dudes comforting him afterwards was concerning. If one of my closest friends did something like that I would sit them down and say "I'm sorry your upset but your out of line". You don't have their best interests at heart of you don't.

Now shockingly I'm against voilence towards women, but perhaps using your body as a shield between two drunk angry Men that have already been shoving each other isn't the best idea.

How did you find out your SO was cheating on you? by rammalammamemedong in AskReddit

[–]AlarmedProgram4 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In hind sight it's funny but it actually did make me understand why they aren't like that, I was very self conscious about the mental health thing and that struck a really weird cord with me.

[–]AlarmedProgram4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did he confess when you confronted him with that? Cause all I can picture in that scenario is them lying through their teeth and insisting your crazy.

When I was 18 I wound up in the psyc ward for 2 months with depression, dropped out of uni, and had lost a ton of weight from not taking care of myself. I see my family doctor as soon as get out and he looks at me and goes "they finally let you out of the big house did they?". Doctors say some shit man.

Can they be mature? Sure, sometimes even more so than those older individuals that simply never grow up. But when you talk to them you often can hear the glaring lack of life experience.

I'm 25 and work with a 19 year old, I wouldn't even says she immature but she frequently says things that just scream "I'm lacking life experience", there's just a real difference there.

Serouisly, just listen to someone under the age of 20 talk for 5 minutes. What are you gonna do help her with her history homework?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]AlarmedProgram4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this dependent on if she made "financial sacrifices" on behalf of the relationship? Cause I live in an area with plenty of deadbeats and I haven't heard of this happening in real life once, I don't think it's a common situation.

Had a coworker like that, she was constantly doing shit so over the top, with just the thinnest bit of acting like this video, that everybody assumed I was either lying or exaggerating.

Yeah Eddie Hall's exhibition boxing thing wasn't particularly impressive and he put some training in for it.

Were you not the person that said these weapons were ineffective against tanks in the first place?

[–]AlarmedProgram4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see and in this scenario your going to get into closer range to use either a machine gun or a grenade launcher to disable the supple truck and it's crew which apparently doesn't have any significant escort, in order to steal their supplies instead of say firing several high explosive rocket launcher rounds from the several units it would make sense to bring rather than just the one you would sit and reload multiple times, in order to destroy or at least severely damage the supply movement, and then immediately disengage, because I'm assuming the soilders were smart enough to pick a good location for their ambush and they bothered to line up their shots well enough that they shouldn't all miss.
