  • Considering how much meat is required to keep a lion fed per day, part of me thinks feeding it to lions would be sensible but on the other side it depends on making sure the meat is cleaned and that the animal that died didn’t die of a cause that would cause internal damage to the lion. Lions on the Serengeti feed on freshly caught food so their catch is usually pretty clean.



  • The researchers analyzed 229 mother-child pairs, calculating fluoride exposure from urine samples collected during the third trimester of pregnancy. Most urine samples were collected from fasting women, which improves the accuracy of chemical testing. Children were then assessed at age three using the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist, which uses parent reports to measure a child’s social and emotional functioning.

    Children exposed to an additional 0.68 milligrams per liter of fluoride in the womb were 1.83 times more likely to show behavioral problems considered to be clinically significant or borderline clinically significant. Specifically, children exposed to more fluoride had more problems with emotional reactivity, somatic complaints (such as headaches and stomachaches), anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.

    No association was found with several other neurobehavioral symptoms, including “externalizing behaviors” such as aggression and attention problems.

    Hmm, they are using a statistic as their study and parental reporting… what with PFOAs, pthalates, microplastics and parabens already present in water linked as endocrine disrupters I wonder how that plays over top of all of this fluoride as well.



  • so that no other party ever has power again.

    This idiot already did 4 yrs once and that hasn’t happened.

    Had he run the full 8 back to back he would have done a lot more damage than he can do in it broken up. The time it takes to turn over all things will take more time than he has power especially when he might likely be far more distracted with his court case even still.

    Never know, maybe it was a blessing there was a break between terms to have all those charges land on him to help keep him distracted from his original course. It was a set back for him non the less.




  • I don’t care about

    I’ve told 3 coworkers already that I don’t talk to them

    Ok so now you’re adding more information here. 3 people. this sounds less about just having some standards and more of a pattern emerging here.

    What you are describing is more in line with how an APD thinks and behaves and not just a mere introvert trait.

    The introversion trait isn’t attached to aversion. It’s based on personal need. No one trait needs to be rude and throw all politeness out the window. That’s bigger than a mere trait. People with introvert trait (without comorbidity) can actually talk to people and have a social ability even at work and they do not shy away from socializing full stop. They take periodic breaks based on need.

    they feel offended

    Again: that’s predictive.

    Something doesn’t compute here. Unless you’ve misplaced yourself into a customer based industry and you’re just not a people person: Having a mere trait doesn’t end up with a collection of people aggressive at work. Nor would it be so attached to aversion and delivering hostile narrative on what other people must be thinking.

    There is a proper way to break a conversation without having to be abrupt about not wanting to talk. Simply having a trait doesn’t rule over basic common decency.

    You sound like you have something else going on aside from just the introvert trait.



  • First off, I’m am not seeing really great communication skills coming from your end in your story here.

    he keeps insinuating there is something wrong with me just because I don’t ask him about his private life

    This is predicting. Or do you actually know he thinks this? The use of ‘insinuating’ sounds like you’re filling in a lot of blank space with your own narrative. Unless he came out and actually said this, private information isn’t necessarily an unspoken agreed upon trade. And if it was that would be a fault on his side.

    And Just to get it out of the way: Introvert isn’t where you don’t want to socialize. It’s just a personality trait in how you recharge with or without socializing. Typical introvert would not avoid socializing altogether. They’d socialize and then excuse themselves for a time being. This is of course with healthy preferences of who to socialize with like any average person could have and that is perfectly fine but that isn’t a trait of what makes a person introvert or extrovert. That’s just having standards.

    Either way, this just sounds like you have made a choice that this person isn’t for you and you have some unspoken boundaries and expect someone to know your boundaries without telling them. Even if you think you are being clear with social queues this might be a case of miscommunication of what a social queue is for you and what he reads communication(possible) . But I wouldn’t leave that to assumption.

    People aren’t mind readers so of it is bothering you this much you could tell him like several others are suggesting.

    after that if he doesn’t let up, see HR as that would be harassment at that point.







  • You know how you fill in security questions or have a certain knowledge about yourself that other people trust only you to answer to in order to permit you access to your own information online such as accounts?

    Well a hacker can use that shit and then you have a long road to convince anyone who ever lost trust in you because of that that you have been hacked.

    Also you want to protect the people on your contact list if you want to keep their trust.

    You shouldn’t even give your phone number out. That’s linked to accounts.
