This hurts to read. As a lefty, I read these “studies” my whole life. The statistic that doesn’t show here is the one I remember most: that lefties are much more likely to commit suicide than righties. Also none of these mention the sociological factors here. How until very(!) recently, lots of people were forced into right-handedness by schools or church. I would guess that this plays a big part in these numbers. Especially when viewing the gendered handedness. Would be interesting to examine that more.

TL;DR it’s no cause for concern for now. Core is changing speed and direction in cycles.

yeah. fuck toxic masculinity. Hold strong brothers. be weak, be vulnerable, be soft, be the man you want to be.

yeah no. i am WILLING duckduckgo to work as a search engine, but the results are so bad, it doesn’t do phrases well. i just searched “blue sign construction”, thinking i’d find infos about blue signs in construction sites. literally the whole first site is about “bluesign”, something to do with textile production. and the picture results are 99% just construction signs in all different colours.

“the book of Mirdad” by Mikha’il Na’ima. I just wanted everyone to read it. It’s a philosophical narrative of strive, peace, perspective, growth… When I read it I gained hope for humanity.

I cannot say enough about this book. It’s opened my head and broadened my horizon.

In a similar but more practical way: “the power of now” by Eckart Tolle is something that I quote from even years after reading it. Like the title suggests, it’s a helper to find the moment, the presence in the present.

Jeeeez is that a quote? It’s an eerie and grim sentence

Breaking news: people hungry and desperately in need of help. Instead of helping to feed them, everyone spends billions in war machinery

hmmm. now obviously it’s forbidden to add 1 and 1 together. this attack that israeli intelligence “missed” and “failed to anticipate”, the worldwide media propaganda against palestine, and this.

how does the story go with the gunshot and the dead lion and the guy with the umbrella? if it is basically impossible for Israel’s notorious “intelligence” to miss this, and it directly benefits israel’s push for more territory and new weapons, then maaaaaybe just maybe israeli defense DIDN’T miss the attack…

i’m 39 and live in Germany where we’re supposed to have such an amazing social security. Even I don’t have hopes for retirement security. “but you can get private retirement insurance” -. well not if i’m not earning enough to put something to the side comfortably, and hey i’m in one of those “important jobs for the society” fml

“We can’t tell”

Tell her more words than those three. The three are important but also overused. Tell her what you feel when you’re together. Or what she does that is special to you. Or character traits you find amazing and why.

Show her that you actually see her.

It might have been badly worded by me. I know that the Olympics were bad when I was young. I was just naive

As a kid, the Olympics was a fun thing to look forward to. Now whenever I see my city/country applying for anything similar, I’m up in arms

Jup. Q.E.D. I’m old

Because in the 90s I was already 6-16 years old

Welp… I’m old

Hey. My hair was pretty long and very nice. Here’s my number one tip: don’t use anything. Normal shampoo, don’t wash too often. No blow-dry, no hard brushes or combs, use soft brushes. The receding hairline is just genetics. Yeah hats and ponytails make it a little faster, but everyone’s hairline will recede.

For getting the hair out of the way, I also used bandanas sometimes.

The other issue is, just because the lab tested for high amounts of a vitamin does not mean that you will get those vitamins into your body. Most vitamins need a combination to actually get absorbed by your body or to not have an adverse effect. (Vitamin C needs iron, B vitamins often benefit from K, …) So, sometimes a food item with “low levels” of the vitamin will actually give your body more of it that something that just has vitams B crammed into it without anything to help your body digest it.
