Fuck, am I!?

We're the most social creatures on the planet. It may not sway anyone, but it could help keep moral up for those of us more at risk for skipping from sheer depression or apathy.

I joked about it in high school, but I do think getting tipsy off Jesus partially set me up for alcoholism in my 20s. Now I'm curious if there are any correlations to higher rates for Catholics compared to other groups

Which is why we're also seeing entire maternity wards shut down. Doctors can't provide care without risking being jailed or being sued for malpractice, so they just won't practice at all.

Imagine telling women who have experienced extreme violence that your solution for them is further violence. I cannot own a gun for my mental health. We can protect everyone by working to prevent violence.

We have some in the Midwest as well

Total tangent here, but I have a lot of cognitive dissonance around Butker. I mean I call him Butt Kicker. He's an amazing athlete but has gross political ideas and power.

What's dumber, I was upset to hear Brittany Mahomes passively endorsed Project 2025. I wasn't terribly surprised that's her stance, but seeing her confirm it and quickly backtrack with petty bullshit just. Ugh. Meanwhile, our other star players Kelce and Mahomes are keeping their mouths shut as Swift is taking heat. Idfk. Just a bunch of drama that makes me feel like I'm back in high school, but the stakes are much, much higher.

Wait what? I can't tell if you're serious, but if so, I'd love to see research on the first part of your comment. If you were joking please feel free to ignore me.

I'm guessing you can stop at any time if you want to? I've known older healthcare professionals that have approved and even encouraged one drink a night, but our understanding of the effects of drinking has evolved. I doubt doctors keeping up with the science would encourage it at this point. It would be like having someone come in that's overweight. It doesn't mean you're unhealthy now, but it may be a factor that needs to be kept in check and working on it could prevent issues in the future.

If you think my argument is missing something, by all means, it would be useful to say that rather than passive aggressive.

You do you. Data alone is pretty useless to me.

So there are tribes with both dynamics, maybe more one than the other?. We can also look at things like, say, competitive records between "sexes" (it's a spectrum, so the binary divide is weird to begin with, but I digress). Men run on average like 30 seconds faster on the mile than women in societies with clear disadvantages to women's training.

Is this actually significant enough to exclude women? I fail to see how it could be for a role that requires a multitude of skills.

Society's seem to have stratified based on sex to "protect" women, and maybe a lot of women even prefer it. The issue is when we use some societal preferences to override the individual and prescribe roles before the individual can even develop their own preference (men and enbies included).

What I'm seeing are some societies seem to have figured that out well enough, others are more oppressive.
