Reply to Premier 'astonished' at B.C. firm's claim it got Health Canada approval to make and sell cocaine by IHOP_007
Truly wonderful headline - here's the details:
>Health Canada clarified the parameters for granting the licence, saying the company is licensed to sell for scientific and medical purposes only.
>"They cannot sell products to the general public," the federal department said.
>Adastra Labs can only sell to other licence holders who have cocaine listed on their licence, namely pharmacists, practitioners, hospitals, or the holder of an exemption for research purposes, Health Canada said.

Are you kidding? He wasn't trans, and he wasn't dressed like a woman. He wasn't "encouraged" by knowing that trans people use bathrooms. He was a prolific voyeur who kept going into women's bathrooms despite being caught and arrested several times.
Men voyeuring in public bathrooms and taking upskirt photos is not new. Maybe the blame could lie with men?

Reply to comment by Fetlocks_Glistening in TIL Eating every course seperately is Service à la russe. Before this meals were service à la française where all courses were served at once. Ambassador Alexander Kurakin introduced Service à la russe to France in 1810 and it became the norm by the 1880s. by jamescookenotthatone
They joined the transition to service à la russe, although:
"Victorian cuisine did not appeal to everyone. British cooks like Mrs. A. B. Marshall encouraged boiling and mutating food until it no longer tasted or resembled its original form. Victorian England became known throughout Europe for its bland and unappetizing food but many housewives cooked in this fashion since it was the safest way to prepare food before refrigeration."

Everyone thinks they have an adequate assessment of danger and risk. No one really thinks they're risking life and limb.
And most humans are incredibly driven to feel liked and admired. Whether that's through social media; their looks; owning status symbols; being successful; getting upvotes; etc.

Well, not quite. Eshays seem to cause violence and disruption everywhere they go. Sometimes eshays harass staff and customers, start fights, order but refuse to pay, etc. Some businesses would rather avoid them altogether.
(Since this is Australia, this means knife and fist fights, not gun fights. But still, people want it to stop.)

Antisocial, here, means disregard for society.
Antisocial behaviour might include no regard for right or wrong; no regard for rules or authority; breaking the law; vandalism; public violence; disregarding people outside their group; etc.

An eshay is an antisocial young man, prone to hypermasculinity and violence. Eshays are a youth subculture, and usually travel in groups. Eshays are linked to public group violence and property crimes.
Kind of similar to a lad or a chav.

"... so people are fat because they choose to be."
Anecdotes do not equal data. Stories about you and your family are not enough to form an entire theory of weight management for a whole species. Many scientists have done actual research in this field so that you don't need to draw conclusions based on your personal experience.
Your body isn't the same as every body. There are genetic components to weight, as well as extensive medical and medication factors that either cause weight gain or make weight loss difficult. I've already listed twenty in this thread, information about which is available in a fast, easy Google search.
People don't understand weight because they choose not to.
hypatiatextprotocol t1_j0tmxu3 wrote
>People get fat for two reasons. First is that people don't pay attention and gain weight by eating too much. This largely happens unconsciously, and with the food out there today, it can happen pretty easily. The second is that stress deprioritizes health. ... When people choose to lose weight and fail, it is always because of stress.
This premise is incorrect.
Medical conditions like Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, chronic inflammation, sleep apnea, adrenal fatigue, Hashimoto's disease, low testosterone, poor gut health, Syndrome X, and insulin resistance, can cause weight gain or resistance to weight loss.
Essential medication like hormonal birth control, antidepressants, beta blockers, treatments for diabetes, antipsychotics, anti-epileptic medication, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and hormone replacement therapy, can cause weight gain or resistance to weight loss.
Difficulty in weight loss is not always because of stress, and weight gain isn't always because of "eating too much" or "stress."

Reply to comment by cheesefondue in TIL that long term Bipolar disorder may damage the brain lead to changes to executive function by phage83
I have bipolar II. I think the biggest risk is that manic episodes cause temporarily impaired judgement and increased risk-taking. This can lead to people saying things they genuinely believe but would normally keep to themselves. Or, people might pick up and repeat things during manic episodes because their judgement is impaired.
If we're talking about Kanye West: Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar in 2016, but made comments about Jewish people and power as early as 2013. I think he was thinking about these ideas either early on, or before he started showing symptoms. Untreated manic episodes might have made it worse.
I appreciate your question was asked in good faith. I want to be very careful in emphasising: bipolar people are not going to become nazis. This is one very specific case. It's possible, but it just doesn't seem to happen. This is an uncomfortable time for people with bipolar, as one person's actions are contributing to the public perception of all of us.

Bernard Suits, philosopher of games and gaming, defined sport as "the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles."
I think the definition we really lack is, "What makes an Olympic sport?"
