Looking at the post history, it's actually impressive. I would not have guessed it was a bot based on the replies. If the posts are actually from a bot - I would love to know which model is being used.

Fiber can help form stool if you have chronic diarrhea, but it can also help relieve constipation. You are correct that diuretic refers to peeing; what the poster was probably trying to say was "laxative." And foods high in fiber

Jeez, it's just an expression. They're just saying that it would be way easier to not have to worry about kids at home right now. You're reading way to far into it. They are not saying that they would literally want to tr

I won't argue for or against marijuana, but I disagree with your argument. Some drugs are capable of permanently transforming a "sane" individual into one with psychosis or other permanent mental disorders. Even alcohol has b

Specialist doctors do not make 1 million dollars (exceptions are generally those who run/manage their own business, or run a hospital - basically it's their business role that puts them at that salary range). You can easily look

This may be workable for a certain subset of projects, but programmers often have much more on their system than the end user. End users don't need a bloated IDE, an SQL server, an HTTP server, etc all running at the same time. Trying

This is a serious issue: doctors have a huge disincentive to receive psychiatric care in the US. It is also completely off-topic.

I can guarantee that there are many people who have no past trauma who have addiction. I can't say exactly how common it is (it may be a minority for all I know), but I know for a fact that they are there.

It's not just you, the wording is a bit weird. Yes, they are trying to say that the definition of the kg will be based on the Planck constant. Further down, the article says: "The kilogram – will be defined by the Planck constan

Not sure I understand the disagreement here; I think you're right on. I had an mp3 player before the iPod came out; it's not like iPod was the first mp3 player. The iPod had a nice external "look" and great marketing, bu

That is one definition of racism, but it is not even the most common definition. Individuals can be racist/perform racism. You don't get to change the definition that most people use just because you don't agree with it.

I wasn't aware of this, but sure enough, "accent discrimination" is addressed by the EEOC. However, in the case that nobody can understand the person due to such a thick accent, the employer may have some argument that it is

There is plenty of research that supports alternative teaching methods. The problem is, success in these research studies does not always generalize well to classrooms around the world. There are a few reasons for this, I think. - When thes

Boredom and wanting to work on something new is probably the biggest driver I have to disagree with this point. Switching jobs is a very stressful and scary experience. Most people don't want to jeopardize their income withou

I think it absolutely matters what the charge is. In this case, we are talking about someone who murdered a 4 year old. I don't have too much sympathy for someone who does this. If you want to talk about people who are in jail for drug

Could you post the research that implicates polyphenols in cancer? I could not find any in-vivo studies linking polyphenols to cancer in a quick search. A review article from 2017 states the opposite in fact: "...polyphenols in particu
