""" Microscopic invaders were more of the threat nowadays. Just to name one example, there was Red Death, a.k.a. the Seven Minute Special, a tiny aerodynamic capsule that burst open after impact and released a thousand or so

I spent some time searching for this source today, I think it was an NPR article? But honestly, I can't find it. Maybe I made it up, and if so, I apologize.

I recently read (and enjoyed) Casey Tanner's _Feel it All_, which takes the stance that lack of sex ed is little-t traumatic, and backs up that argument convincingly. It's a surprisingly positive read, given that thesis. The idea

The article mostly blames pornography and digital addiction, but I think those are symptoms of a larger problem, which is lack of belonging and community. If life sucks, you have few friends you can afford the time or money to see, and you

I think a lot of millennials, myself included, are "people pleasers", who push our own needs aside to make others happy. Again and again. This works, until we burn out and crash. I certainly have - I spent most of 2024 severely bu

Came here to say exactly this. Perhaps someday, someone will figure out how to target specific proteins in the immune memory using a modified measles virus?

I too was really hoping for a calculator that allowed me to plan out an IRL garden. Maybe that's something that should exist!

My grandma always joked when I did something dumb that she could shine a light in one of my ears and see it out the other. Years ahead of the science, apparently.

I appreciate the response! I really enjoy talking about this stuff so please take my long response as just me thinking out loud. I forgot to mention that I'm an atheist. I call myself "religious but not spiritual". I was supe

I think belonging is one of the most important contributors to mental health, and anecdotally, fewer liberals and leftists "belong" to a group. There are progressive churches out there, for example, but they see much smaller membe

Probably depends on if your local community - which includes you! - has valued (and funded) libraries. Ours is really well done.

There's a few people in here doing whataboutism like this. Where are you getting the idea that the "left" or whoever banned words in scientific articles?

The one that says there are only two genders and disagrees with biological reality, confuses sex and gender, and is mostly about fear instead of education.

Oh, I agree! I was just frustrated that they were willing to break the rules to defeat Bernie (but then when they lose to the Republicans, it's just too bad and we must follow the rules). I dunno. I'm not arguing that Dems should

One of my radicalizing events was in 2016, when I was a delegate for Bernie at the Colorado caucus. (I can't recall exactly what level, but there were probably 200 people in the room. The Hillary folks controlled the stage and complete

Yes, but it's moved to apps. The PBS Kids and PBS Kids Games apps are full of high quality edutainment shows and movies. Some vintage, some new. Not a shill, just a dad with a 5yo who enjoys that I can give my kid a tablet with those a

This kind of hyper-masculine "men need to feel powerful" stuff is pure patriarchy. So much of this stuff is societal, not biological, and yet it's presented as truth. Highly recommend _The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, an

Neat article, but very eurocentric. "Inventing" free love here very much feels like "discovering" America. Currently reading Sex, Sin and Zen by Brad Warner, which offers a (westerner's) take on the relationships
