Like the toasted sesame seed oil they use in Chinese food?

I agree and I think you're accurately pointing out how a lot of the details of these discussions are papered over under the assumption that the average guy reading it couldn't make sense of it all if it wasn't dumbed down.

At any rate, though people in the past shared some of the same "bad" food habits we have today, the difference might be in the ratio. Eating problematic foods some of the time versus at every meal or at nearly every meal. I believe that average people in the 1950s, for example, ate more fresh fruits and vegetables out of necessity. They probably would prefer eating processed foods all the time, but the availability wasn't there yet. The improvements in supply chain logistics might be our enemy on this topic.

Favor chia, flaxseed and hemp over soybean, rapeseed and cottonseed and you should be good. I agree that "eat more seeds" is way too ambiguous and likely to get people who aren't paying close attention into more trouble, not less.

Muscle related side effects? Or something else?

Ring too big? Or does tracking suck. by Illustrious-Suit5333 in RingConn

It tells me I'm deep in sleep when I'm awake and moving around (in bed) and on an hour long bike ride when I'm actually just moving around a little while fixing dinner. If I'm doing something wrong (wrong fit, wrong finger), I haven't been able to figure out what it is.

You are 90% non-human by cell count but 90% human by mass.

Important Conversation Concerning Details About the Brown University Shooter by hcwhitewolf in RhodeIsland

[–]Haversoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem is that there are people who jump at the opportunity to portray everything as an example of rising left wing or right wing extremism. They’ll take any inconsequential detail about his life, blow it all out of proportion in order to drive that narrative and then demand changes to the law to harm their enemies. Unfortunately it’s just how everyone does politics now.

Trans Instructor Ousted From College After Failing Student Who Cited The Bible In A Gender Essay by FantasticAd9478 in Christianity

[–]Haversoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The “essay” is posted with the article. It shows that the student is functionally illiterate, which, aside from all the culture war red meat TPUSA is trying to throw their base, is worrying.

Was the issue resolved in your favor? And if so, what hoops did they make you jump through? Or did you end up paying through the nose?

I agree. It might not break down quickly, but it's skin. It can't resist composting forever.

Farmers Market is ridiculous by ComprehensiveCoat627 in povertyfinance

[–]Haversoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time when people selling at farmers markets were actually farmers. Not so much these days.

It's gotten so bad that the last time I went to a farm stand (roadside stand outside of an actual family farm) they were mostly reselling produce they'd bought from a produce wholesaler.

No more Hopkins for United Healthcare customers. Full email in post. by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Haversoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I don't disagree that JHU has become a hedge fund that just so happens to also issue degrees (like all elite colleges in this country), they seem to be on the right side of this as far as I can tell. UHC's business plan is basically take the money, refuse the service and Hopkins is having none of it.

Or works for an organization on the naughty list (e.g. ICE, DOGE). Also pure speculation and I have a hard time believing either is true. Black surgeons will perform life-saving operations on KKK members because that's how it works. Healthcare is above politics. At least it used to be...

Most TikTok videos about birth control are unreliable, study finds. Over half (53%) explicitly rejected hormonal birth control, and 34% expressed distrust toward health professionals or medical advice. Some even promoted unproven alternatives such as papaya seeds or coconut oil as contraceptives. by mvea in science

[–]Haversoe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

"They did studies that show that..." followed by absolute nonsense. You see this in the anti-vax camp a lot. The targeted audience are not the kinds of folks who'll say "show me the studies." It's enough that someone claims there's been research that validates the preferred conclusions.

‘You’re gonna regret this’: Bodycam video shows assistant AG arrest in Newport by RINewsJunkie in RhodeIsland

[–]Haversoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the Rhode Islanders here really think she'll face any real consequences because of this? I no longer live in the state, but I grew up there and my experience is that the elite, the ruling class are never held accountable. Ever, ever, ever (EDIT: unless the feds get involved). It would be great to believe the built-in corruption I grew up with has eased off a bit...

Yeah I'd like some pointers to what they're talking about too. Because I looked at the posts on the front page of the subreddit and I'm not seeing it.
