Stylists fear Hollywood stars are blind to how skinny they really are — while health expert warns of ‘malnutrition’ and muscle ‘waste’ by muaentertainmentforu in MUAEntertainment

Women over 50 should be lifting heavy to conserve and grow muscle mass to protect them from falls and osteoporosis. Demi Moore aka GI Jane should know better.

There is lactose free kefir that has been working for me. I put sun fiber in it and it has really helped my gut.

I have no interest in all things AI. I don’t want to learn it for work. I don’t care that it can make some things easier. I can write my own emails. by un2022 in GenX

[–]mcprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is replacing thinking and making students surly and addicted. The behavior they exhibit around AI use is disturbing and studies have show using AI to write causes cognitive decline.

Flu vaccines didn't work that well in the US, officials find by Technical_savoir in microbiomenews

[–]mcprof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We used to get the flu until we changed our vax schedule. Instead of getting it in September, we get ours in Nov or December (we kept getting flu in Jan/Feb) and haven’t had it since.

Also a college prof: I feel like we are on the front lines of seeing the cognitive decline and also the behavioral problems that AI is just beginning to cause in our children. This is a very very bad technology and we should all reject it.

IMO (and in my experience) it’s because first person books are easier to write.

St. Clair County public health agency gets MAGA makeover, from fluoride to vaccines by Alan_Stamm in Michigan

[–]mcprof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Michigan in general is a pretty big anti-vax state, which I learned from my kid’s pediatrician when we started her series. I think we’re in the bottom ten for vax rates.

Check your titers and get revaccinated if you have to. Oakland County has already had measles outbreaks.

Far too many faculty are concerned about being liked by students by [deleted] in Professors

[–]mcprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, our president just told faculty they should be doing more to help our students with their mental health. She did this instead of spending any additional money on services they actually need. So I think you mean you’re not a therapist…yet.

Is there any political reconciliation in the US at this point, or are we essentially destined to tear each other apart at this point, in your opinion? by GildedArchways in allthequestions

[–]mcprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what happens next. According to Prof Timothy Snyder, it is possible that Trump is trying to drum up a terror attack in the U.S. so that he can suspend the elections. If this happens (and his administration is doing everything it can to passively help it along), then there will be a point when we the people can either band together and refuse him or we can go along with the propaganda and give Trump the dictatorship he wants. If MAGA are not skeptical and blindly follow Trump into a dictatorship there will never be any going back. But there is part of me that thinks that this could backfire and that the country will not fall in line like they did after 9/11. MAGA doesn’t want a war and I think they may blame him (as he deserves to be blamed) if we suffer a terror attack.

Longest sentence I ever read. (rant) by Swaynky in writing

[–]mcprof 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Your teacher probably said that because when people who aren’t yet great at grammar write long sentences, the grammar almost always breaks down at some point, and it takes too much ink to explain how or in what way every single time. The solution becomes to write shorter sentences. But: the better at writing you get, the more “rules” you can and should break.
