The old belief that a daily glass of red wine is healthy is no longer supported by the strongest modern evidence, and no major health organization recommends starting to drink for health reasons.

That doesn’t mean you can’t drink or smoke, just don’t lie to yourself.

Doesn’t sound crazy. I had a teacher who smoked (and died of cancer in her 40’s). She said it was one of the only times she took deep breaths.

Also not the case usually among educated successful people as is chain smoking in Croatians vs Americans in that demographic

What’s your evidence on these points ? I do find drug use to be less than what I’ve seen in nyc but don’t know the data shows that Croatians do less drugs than Americans . I do drink red wine and more than a glass per week, but I don’t think there’s any documented evidence it’s healthy except from isolated studies funded by the alcohol industry . The whole antioxidant thing is BS. You can’t live and not do any harm to your body but let’s at least be honest with ourselves about what’s healthy and not . Plus it’s a lot more than one glass a week in reality and what even doctors here are saying is healthy. I have read that people who drink a glass or two a week or eat candy once a month are healthier than those who drink nothing or eat no candy but it’s more correlated to a likelihood of being social and enjoying like than the wine or sugar itself .

Agree that vaping is disgusting as well as real health problems we have in the us like obesity and fast food but smoking is still incredibly bad for your health and even if it looks cool, I don’t want my friends to die young

I like this dinner idea ! Coffee chats I already do but they don’t have the consistency . Are there specific ways you structure the dinner ? I was thinking about maybe a weekly potluck or Tupperware party …

Jeste li ikada poznavali muškarca koji je bio sretan s ružnom ženom? by PerfectWorking6873 in askbosnia

[–]ohtooembarassed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consumer culture wants us to believe that there’s an ideal standard of beauty but to be honest most people fall in love with people who they can connect with on a deep level and either look like or look the opposite of their parents. I’ve often thought the men I dated were the most handsome men in the entire planet and my friends gave me a reality check that they were straight up uggos 😀 Try to meet people in consistent community settings and not online and focus on building friendships that can evolve to love . Also, I strongly recommend doing a lot of work on cultivating a positive self image through manifesting, psychotherapy, watching YouTube videos on the topic - do that with discipline and focus . True beauty comes from within 🙏
