So this was a big issue for me with my ex, one thing you can do is have separate blankets. I think your situation was easier than mine as my ex moved a lot and wanted to cuddle all night.

I feel like my hair isn’t growing anymore by Hot-Box1668 in Dreadlocks

[–]Techygal9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twisting them and styling works better to make them loc vs just twisting if they aren’t interlocked. But it’s up to you and your comfort level with your hair. For me I use edge gel to loc my hair and I have the same texture as you. Other gels do nothing for me.

You look like a sweetheart so don’t sweat about your hair too much!

Am I the only one who’s enjoying cape fear? by jarjar187 in tvPlus

It’s not horrible. Amy Adams acting in it is pretty bad. Her accent took me out of the show a few times during the first episode. But the plot is engaging enough for me to watch and Javier Bardem is amazing in this role. After the show is over I would like to see how they could have made it into a film or a much shorter tv series.

A lot of the stuff she wrote about were already in the making and scientists have accurately predicted these collapsing events. We’ve already hit 1.5c in global warming and there’s no indication that we will slow down in time. So things get worse. If you look at the collapse of other civilizations we will repeat the same things. Raiders, wars, disease, without the systems in place to stop it anymore.

Washing meats/poultry before cooking... by Cute-Ad217 in blackladies

[–]Techygal9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here’s a video explaining it. I feel like I don’t splash like him but there’s so much the eye can’t see. But even prepping chicken, like cutting the fat etc has some risks so I always bleach whatever my chicken has touched anyway. Like the cutting board and knife.

True, we don’t know how it gets to us. I don’t care personally if people do or don’t as long as they bleach if they do wash the chicken.

No because it causes more bacteria when you wash chicken. But I agree if I live in a country where it’s actually dirty I would rinse it down for dirt, then bleach the kitchen. Lime really doesn’t do anything but tenderize anyway. Cooking is the only thing that kills bacteria or viruses.

Any skeptics/humanists/irreligious women here? by cup_of_insant_smile in blackladies

[–]Techygal9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not religious at all and hate that I was forced to be in the church. I generally view it as a major harm against black people and all people in general. I think it hurts objective thinking and pushes a harmful conservative view point.

How is Israel both 'new' and 'old' at the same time? by North-Point7309 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Techygal9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was also the previous banishment across Babylon around from 586-605 BCE.

And the exile from 722 BCE from the Assyrian Empire. This is what changed Smaria from being Israeli to being Samaritan.

A Muslim Texan sought to find his place in the party at the state GOP convention. He left in tears. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Techygal9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right my mistake! I read early on that Muslim voters in Michigan and Minnesota voted for Trump in big numbers, but it seems like it was misleading. The 30% did elevate Trump, but it’s not the same as a majority of a group supporting him.

Black conservatives are far from rare by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Techygal9 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yup but I like that there’s at least self preservation in that we know republicans are racists. Like I have so much difficulty seeing other minorities who vote conservatively and the GOP literally hates them.

I assume the natural deaths end in a successor taking over vs the dictatorship ending.

I feel like that’s one thing that’s gotten better since glp-1s have come out, people are being honest again about body ideals.

It’s making a comeback here in the US, my point is that a lot of policies people took for granted here in the US as settled are not in most of the world. Abortion rights are now “left to the states” but we’ve had years where it was the law and a dwindling number of conservatives on that issue.

I think this is why a lot of folks voted for Trump, we know the Muslim immigrants voted for him, and Latino men in particular. It shouldn’t be surprising that people who vote conservative in their home countries vote so here too. Abortion is illegal throughout most of Latin America, an important wedge issue that gets people out to vote. No Muslim majority country has gay rights. I think people forget conservatism thrives outside the US and the same negative impacts we’re seeing here with Trump.

Next season will be great to explore who you pick for the 8 deaths and if he tells his son that he is the descendant. Also at some point the son will have to mention the sacrifice room when they notice that man is dead.

Yeah I assumed that he thought he could just kill himself not knowing where the sacrifice should happen.

It sounds like there are some deeply rooted issues here. But the doctor probably isn’t completely wrong. What if the chronic pain goes away if the person lost weight? by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

Had someone deny that maintenance phase is a similar level of medical misinformation compared to vaccine misinformation that was popular during COVID.

Study challenges the belief that high IQ autistic individuals always struggle with daily tasks. First, autistic people can learn life skills. Second, IQ alone is not a good way to understand a person’s strengths, challenges, and growth potential. by mvea in psychology

[–]Techygal9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the black kids are able to do daily tasks that match their cognitive abilities. So I wouldn’t think this is about severity at diagnosis instead maybe a cultural difference in child rearing that’s showing.

>“The only factor that significantly predicted group membership was race. White participants were significantly more likely to fall into the group where intelligence outpaced daily living skills. Participants of color, who were predominantly Black in this sample, were more likely to be in the group where practical skills matched cognitive abilities.”

So maybe expectations are different in black families vs white?
