There's literally a species of laurel native to Mexico that indigenous Americans used in their food for thousands of years.

Bay leaves come from various plants and are used for their distinctive flavour and fragrance. The most common source is the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). Other types include California bay laurel, Indian bay leaf, West Indian bay laurel, and Mexican bay laurel.

It would also task the Justice Department's antitrust division, which brings civil suits to quash alleged anticompetitive practices, with enforcing the law.

This is amazing! Did you build from a kit? I'd love to put one of these up

The 1936 USSR Constitution was immediately followed by The Great Purge and only lasted 40 years

There are thousands of wasp species and the overwhelming majority don't even have the ability to sting humans. You probably don't ever even notice them, despite being the most important group of pollinators in the world, because you might mistake them for bees or flies. Also, bees are wasps (and so are ants).

The pre-1950s focus was on entrance into "a new world of hope and communal solidarity", whereas the post-Stonewall Riots overtone was an exit from the oppression of the closet.[15] This change in focus suggests that "coming out of the closet" is a mixed metaphor that joins "coming out" with the closet metaphor: an evolution of "skeleton in the closet" specifically referring to living a life of denial and secrecy by concealing one's sexual orientation. The closet metaphor, in turn, is extended to the forces and pressures of heterosexist society and its institutions.

I'm not a subscriber, but I borrow a family member's account, and I wish they'd just throw the entire Paramount movie catalog on there. We watched Sunset Boulevard the other day, Paramount has an amazing back catalog

Does anyone have the numbers on how many people in the US received any sort of gender affirming surgery prior to age 18 in the past decade? I'm going to guess that number is 0.000015% of the population or less.

How many teenage girls got boob jobs with their parent's permission during that period?

You're just going around saying "correlation doesn't equal causation" to everything regardless of context. Feel free to expound.

No, there definitely isn't "a gene" for schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, just like there isn't "a gene" for hair or eye color, two other traits that are highly heritable.

Here's just one source for you on this, and there are many more if you care to take a look:

I'm not understanding your argument. What about this is correlation and not causation? The body of literature indicating cannabis negatively impacts the mental health of people prone to developing psychosis is pretty extensive, and this is measured against other people who are prone to developing psychosis but who do not use cannabis

The risks aren't the same everywhere, but even if you live in a low-radon area, your specific location may still contain high levels of radon. Best to just do a radon test on your house to be sure. You can get a home test for cheap.

I live in Austin, and I probably see 1-3 Cybertrucks per day. I used to feel deep vicarious shame for them, but that's slowly transformed into speechless incredulity
