Do you call people “smoothskin”?

It’s no secret that the US offered free flights to Cubans that disagreed with Castro, and this resulted in a large population of Cuban-Americans that want Cuba to go back to the “Cuba of Yesterday”

Why does beer keep getting singled out when red wine and bourbon produce similar effects?

Edit: Also a bit peeved, because I’ve got hashimotos and talked to a dietician about diet affecting my hormone troubles, and they assured me plant hormones didn’t have an effect on humans.

Is this a skibidi toilet?

The second link says it affects estrogen levels though, which is why I’m confused.

Is this new research?

Edit: the corroborating link the article provides doesn’t really show much about how the study was conducted

Editedit: found what they were citing, but it’s from the 90s, so it’s very much not new, and it doesn’t actually support what the article is claiming.

The studies described in the previous sections strongly support the hypothesis that congeners present in alcoholic beverages can produce measurable estrogenic effects, even at moderate drinking levels. Specifically, those studies found the following:

• Alcoholic beverage congeners exerted estrogenic effects both in an experimental animal model and in post-menopausal women.

• The estrogenic effects of alcoholic beverage congeners were detectable using a variety of estrogenic markers, including the pituitary hormones LH (in OVEX rats and postmenopausal women), FSH, and prolactin (in postmenopausal women); uterus weight (in OVEX rats); and the estrogen-responsive liver proteins HDL cholesterol and SHBG (in postmenopausal women).

• In both the experimental animals and the postmenopausal women, the changes in the levels of all estrogenic markers were consistent with the presence of biologically active phytoestrogens in the congeners.

• Red wine congeners and bourbon congeners produced similar estrogenic effects in experimental animals and in postmenopausal women.

I thought phytoestrogens didn’t affect humans?

it seems odd to including gaming for Grandma

Why? Back in the 90s, my great-grandmother learned how to use the family computer (it ran DOS) because she wanted to play the Wheel of Fortune video game.

Somebody made a STL you can print

the game seems to have been co-opted by the Far Right

Oh no, I hadn’t heard about this yet. What’d they do?

No, because orthopedics covers congenital stuff like scoliosis too

IIRC, there’s like seven different species people call “june bug”.

Oh, I understand. I was trying to snarkily imply that the smug, autofellating, condescending attitude you mentioned was unfortunately endemic, to the point where it’s starting to feel like some people are secretly jorking it while telling newbs they suck. I think it’s a huge reason why people feel like FOSS isn’t for them.

I mean, #6 is accurate for me. I don’t have a humiliation fetish, so I’d rather pay people to tell me what I’m doing wrong instead of braving the barrage of belittlement that comes from asking for crowdsourced support.

Its an adorable isopod

Yeah, I also feel like that’s not a surprise to anybody that’s had dogs.

It’s not Plants vs Zombies fanfic?

but there’s only so many times you can read stuff like “getting it addressed within X hours has Y% chance of saving the testicle” before you came lol.

Dang, I wish it was that easy to come for me.

You just gotta get creative. What if we had a lotto system, where every day one person gets a million bucks, and fifty people get to do forced labor for the rest of their life? We wouldn’t need surveillance, we’d just have to tell them we’re watching and let the RNG do all the work instead.

I look forward to the meme translation of your thesis

To be fair, the sidebar itself suggests copying the content over if they’re paywalled. It’s nuts that you’ve highlighted that, and then complained about a rephrasing of what it says.
