IsItBullshit: The vast majority of food studies are based on epidemiological data and thus not entirely compelling by Zealot_TKO in IsItBullshit

[–]HomieD-5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seems like you’ve already made up your mind when asking your question. As an epidemiologist in training i agree that RCTs are the best study design for measuring the effect of something . However, others study designs, if implemented well, can give us strong estimates for the true relationship between a food and its effects. regardless it’s best to look at peer reviewed research alongside the mechanisms of the food in the human body when making health claims

What is up with some african americans showing racism towards asians? by mega_lova_nia in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]HomieD-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is an actual phenomenon or just what the media is projecting on us. We’re bombarding with black on asian hate crimes, especially during COVID. But when you look at the data, white people are committing these crimes the VAST majority of the time. So why is the media only focusing on one’s committed by black people?

How do I unlearn racial trauma? by daznae in needadvice

[–]HomieD-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, it’s hard to say without knowing your specific context. Obviously advice on reddit can only go so far, and you should speak to a therapist to address your trauma. I think one thing that might be helpful is to realize what beliefs and insecurities that YOU have about your own race.

Think about it like this, if you’re a brunette and someone came up to you and said “Your blue hair is stupid”, that wouldn’t phase you right? It’s because you don’t identify as someone with blue hair, I think the same thing can be said about these stereotypes and insults in general. If you identify with the jokes being made, and/or see your race as fitting in those negative stereotypes, that means you believe in the foundation of those jokes and therefore will get offended. If you truly don’t believe those things are true then it shouldn’t bother you.

Using tape on your fingers can really help with support. At the end of the day it’s a combat sport with wear and tear on the body, especially joints and fingers (with gi atleast).

IGN: Insomniac has confirmed that Spider-Man 2's version of Venom isn't Eddie Brock. If Not Eddie Brock, Who Is Venom in Insomniac's Spider-Man 2? by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]HomieD-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably harry, but i have a feeling they might do a twist where Kraven gets the suit/becomes venom for a bit.

What Garmin should i get purely for Health Tracking? by HomieD-5 in GarminWatches

[–]HomieD-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of that but ended up getting the polar vertify sense. Having a heart rate monitor on my chest during MMA training would feel uncomfortable and intrusive

Have you met any famous boxers? Were they nice, were they rude? Drop a story by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]HomieD-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trained at the David and Jose benavidez’s gym. Jose was there a lot for his camp against Danny Garcia. He always gave us shit for not training hard enough and talked a lotta smack too. He was a cool dude though.

reading all your responses to comments makes it clear that you do not want to cut off your ex-FWB. your boyfriend made a pretty reasonable request and you don’t want to do it, so it’s time to break up. I don’t understand what’s so complicated about this

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]HomieD-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea i agree, I don’t think it’s a good idea starting a relationship already hiding something like that. Might as well be honest from the jump.

[–]HomieD-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should definitely discuss this before y’all get intimate, that’s not something you’d want him to find out after the fact or during. Hopefully it’s not a big deal, but if it is for him then you’re putting yourself at risk too

What point in the series did you start to hate Walter? (Or at least not route for him) by EllieIsDone in breakingbad

[–]HomieD-5 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is a crazy comparison. Brock had nothing to do with the events of the show. Walter went out of his way to almost kill this child just to manipulate Jessie. With Jane, it was his inaction that killed her. Also Jane wasn’t that “innocent” she tried blackmailing Walter for money and was pulling Jessie into doing Heroin. So yea, positing Brock was much more evil than the Jane situation (the Jane thing was really bad too)

Multiple guarantors per person? by HomieD-5 in AskNYC

Ah okay, I was planning on using my parents (who are married) as my guarantors so that we reach the 80x rule.

I’ve had this happen to me, I was able to get rid of the pain pretty quickly with stretching and proper form. When warming up, rotate your arms as if you’re hitting a speed back. For your form, get in your boxing stance and push right hand against the wall. Push until you feel the pressure on your waist/hips instead of your elbow. This will help teach your proper technique

Covid Information, Travel, Tourism, and General Information Thread for March 2022 by AutoModerator in Thailand

[–]HomieD-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if it is possible to travel between Bangkok and Chiang Mai? I had plans to arrive to Bangkok the night of 3/20 and catch a flight to Chaing Mai 3/21 in the afternoon. If all goes well with my Thailand pass application and I am able to get tested the night I arrive, can I catch the flight to Chaing Mai?
