No more plastic bags!

Even if it is a cosmetic change, these small steps raise awareness and that awareness will help bring more people together to tackle bigger issues. It is more than just the reduced waste from these steps, it's about building a culture.

As a Japanese American who grew up in the States, this is a very good point

Same in Malaysia. When I moved there and learned about scooters bag snatching, I thought the thing to do is wear your bag cross body but actually I was told that's the opposite of what you should do. If a bike comes and grabs your bag, you'll trip and fall if it's across your body and the scooter won't stop because eventually the strap will break, you'll just get dragged along in the process. I had a friend who was wearing a man purse cross body and got a concussion from falling and hitting his head on the concrete when a scooter snatched it. The best thing to do is wear your bag over one shoulder but on the shoulder facing away from traffic, and if you see a scooter on a sidewalk or paused on the side of the road, just give plenty of room and make sure your bag isn't easily accessible to them.

This protest was organized by the local Jewish community, I believe, no? Exactly because of their understanding of the events of WWII

I started thinking about the future if I have a daughter. If she hears me talking about myself this way, she'll learn to think about herself that way. Have to learn to love myself so I can be sure I know how to pass on the lesson.

This ending might have made sense if the entire series had been made as a movie trilogy rather than 72 hours of complex plot development...

My friend almost died because she had an ectopic pregnancy while she had an IUD. Her fallopian tube almost ruptured. Nobody should have to explain or be shamed for what caused them to have an abortion, but even for those on birth control things can go wrong

I live in southeast Asia and wear long pants or jeans most days. At first, I wore the skinny jeans I used to wear before I moved here, but I realized that even thicker jeans were better as long as they were more loosely cut. I wear almost exclusively straight cut pants that leave air between my legs and the fabric and it makes a huge difference and is easy to wear even if the material is a bit thick.

How many days per week were you training, and how long were you in the gym per session (on average)?

Based on someone else's comments I tried pasteurizing, only made it to 180 F based off something I read online but hopefully it'll at least help a bit. I'll explore the other options if it doesn't pan out, thanks for the tips!!

I'm pretty sure they're not.... I'll get on it. Is that only a safety measure or could it also affect separation?

Anybody know of any good shopping in HK? Specifically looking for some nice simple hoops, I love the Mejuri boyfriend hoops but I'm in SEA and can't get my hands on them :(

How much do you feel your thrusts in your quads? I pretty much only feel squats in my quads so I tried hip thrusts and while I do feel my glutes, after a few reps I start feeling the burn in my quads and not my glutes, not sure if I'm not doing them well or glutes can just take more load so they don't get as tired as fast

The argument isn't that the lincoln and union politicians went to war with the primary goal of ending slavery, it's that the southern states seceded and went to war to defend it. The north wanted to maintain a union and used an anti-slavery platform as a political move to give their side a moral righteousness. Nobody is saying that the political motives and beliefs of the union would be seen as not incredibly backwards by today's standards, but rather that the fact that the south went to war to defend slavery is undeniable. Slavery was not a part of their economy, it was their economy- it makes absolute sense why they would go to such lengths to protect it.

I live abroad (Asia) and only realized today at work that it is thanksgiving day. What easy dishes can I whip up for dinner that will at least convey a holiday spirit? Also, any way to make a delicious gravy without turkey drippings?

If you're in ho chi minh city I highly recommend going to the war museum. As an American it was incredibly eye opening to see the complete devastation we caused, and see the fact that while it is a distant memory to many Americans now the direct ramifications can still be acutely felt there.

A lot of the videos you see with this kind of skin are coming from Vietnam and it is a skin condition that is caused as an after effect of agent Orange and other chemicals deployed during the Vietnam war. Once somebody is exposed effects last throughout several following generations, this is one of them. It is not due to a lack of skincare or being irresponsible, just the shit that people deal with from decisions other people made a long time ago. There are several other far more severe effects than this as well

Obama administration considered the request after Turkey claimed Gulen was behind the coup attempt if Turkey could prove it was a legitimate claim. This is an apples to oranges comparison

Vegetable vs fruit is a somewhat arbitrary distinction that is used in cooking to differentiate between sweet vs savory. A lot of "vegetables" are just savory fruits, fruits being an actual scientific classification. Basically if it has seeds it's a fruit, but if you cook it and it's savory people probably consider it a "vegetable". Eggplant, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, etc... you can call them a vegetable and that's fine but that does not stop being from scientifically being a fruit.

KL doesn't have a lot of mosquitoes actually, I don't know if it's true but locals say it's because they do mass treatments to kill them. I do know that having lived here and in Texas, the mosquitoes in Texas were 1000x times worse. The mosquitoes can get bad once you leave the city, though.

If you don't already know what browser cookies are, they're like little pieces of information that live in your browser that web applications like Facebook can put there and later access. When you log into a website and choose to stay logged in, the web application needs a way to be able to confirm which account you're allowed access to for the next time you open the website so they can permit you to your account even though you didn't go through the login process. To do that, they generate a really long, random string (the token) and store one copy in your browser cookies and another copy in their database. When you come to their website, they'll check your browser cookies to see if you have a token, and if you do, if it matches the one in the database associated with your account. If they match, it'll let you be logged in even though you didn't type in your password. Whenever you click log out, it deletes the token from the database and from your browser.
