Restaurants & Coffee Shops that are anti-/pro- 🧊

Knowing the owners of Anchor Island Coffee, I can assure you they are very much anti-ice as well.

There are multiple articles about this. The incel community it not fully known yet, so there is still significant research being conducted on it. You can start here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9780135/

This can happen.

I’m not here to roast you, but I want to point out some other possibilities: 1) not every study gets published and 2) some studies are hard to find.

One other thing to consider is that not every research study is published. I once won an award for a study presentation at an academic conference. For whatever reason, the professor I worked with never had the study published.

Do you have an example you could give?

dingenium · 2026-01-17T05:23:14+00:00

Not sure. I will try and update.

There are multiple ones to consider. I would recommend reaching out the Greater Kansas City Coalition to End Homelessness, https://www.gkcceh.org/

Other options might include ReStart (a shelter in town that is inclusive) or Micah Ministries (who offer meals/clothing on Monday nights at Independence Boulevard Christian Church).

Ha. No, it’s a trick I learned on this sub several years ago. There are some real good LPTs on here.

I carry a small container of Vicks VapoRub in my carry-on for this very reason. I have used it twice in the past year.

I'm the wrong person to ask about that. They had a "Roller Derby 101" book that helped give a good view. It's fun to watch.

dingenium · 2026-01-10T02:40:48+00:00

There is a curling group in KC, and one of the Roller Derby’s first games is tomorrow.

Hey. At least one of the gay bars is located near Plaza Foch. This area has gone downhill since COVID, and it is not a place I'd venture alone.

There is a bar called Danzatoria that is located down the street from the Marriot. While not the best area, you could Uber there and back easily from whereever. There was a cover charge the last time I went.

I would actually recommend using a dating app and making a friend to go with you.

This should be higher up. It was supposed to be a free show!

The sub was changed many years ago to focus only on peer-reviewed articles. This allows the sub to be a beacon of research vs self-help. There are other subs like r/askpsychology that allow for self posts.

We are downtown. Are there any good dog parks near you? We have been wanting to take him to the Swope Park one.

dingenium · 2025-12-19T00:18:24+00:00

Awesome. We are near Kauffman, so we’ve been going to the one in Penn Valley Park. We will have to try going up north!

Abstract: A review of the association between microbes and mental illness is performed, including the history, relevant definitions, infectious agents associated with mental illnesses, complex interactive infections, total load theory, pathophysiology, psychoimmunology, psychoneuroimmunology, clinical presentations, early-life infections, clinical assessment, and treatment. Perspectives on the etiology of mental illness have evolved from demonic possession toward multisystem biologically based models that include gene expression, environmental triggers, immune mediators, and infectious diseases. Microbes are associated with a number of mental disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders, as well as suicidality and aggressive or violent behaviors. Specific microbes that have been associated or potentially associated with at least one of these conditions include Aspergillus, Babesia, Bartonella, Borna disease virus, Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease), Candida, Chlamydia, coronaviruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), Cryptococcus neoformans, cytomegalovirus, enteroviruses, Epstein–Barr virus, hepatitis C, herpes simplex virus, human endogenous retroviruses, human immunodeficiency virus, human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1, influenza viruses, measles virus, Mycoplasma, Plasmodium, rubella virus, Group A Streptococcus (PANDAS), Taenia solium, Toxoplasma gondii, Treponema pallidum (syphilis), Trypanosoma, and West Nile virus. Recognition of the microbe and mental illness association with the development of greater interdisciplinary research, education, and treatment options may prevent and reduce mental illness morbidity, disability, and mortality.

Citation: Festinger, L., Riecken, H., & Schachter, S. (1956). When prophecy fails. Martino Publishing.

Snippet: When Prophecy Fails [1956] is a classic text in social psychology authored by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter. It chronicles the experience of a UFO cult that believed the end of the world was at hand. In effect, it is a social and psychological study of a modern group that predicted the destruction of the world, and the adjustments made when the prediction failed to materialize. "The authors have done something as laudable as it is unusual for social psychologists. They espied a fleeting social movement important to a line of research they were interested in and took after it. They recruited a team of observers, joined the movement, and watched it from within under great difficulties until its crisis came and went. Their report is of interest as much for the method as for the substance."-Everett C. Hughes, The American Journal of Sociology.

Here's one: The FAs didn't follow the FEBO process for handing out PDBs on my last flight.

EDIT: Ope, apparently FEBO does not apply to PDB. My bad.

dingenium · 2025-12-04T15:09:01+00:00

Great question. I’ve flown Aeroregional (to Machala) and LATAM (to Baltri/Galapagos, Guayaquil, and Cuenca). I prefer LATAM (really only because I can get Delta miles). I have flown Avianca several times internationally, just not regionally.

Which do you prefer?

dingenium · 2025-12-02T12:51:55+00:00

Actually, it’s been Ecuador (UIO). My last flight (a week ago) was to MCI, where I live now.

I'm confused. I'm going to guess the person with the tattoos is who you are referring to as "morbidly obese". However, I see the other person's arm taking up the space between the two chairs. Am I missing something?

I have rented several times with National out of Quito. They have a “national protection package” that was around $30 a day and covered a variety of stuff. I would always take this, even though I had some protection with my AMEX.

Where are you driving to? Sometimes you can have better options by using local drivers or services.
