DEEP BREASTFEEDING LORE

Background: Visceral fat is the fat around your internal organs. It's bad for you, worse than e.g. the fat that sits under your skin.

Info: 7 years postpartum, women who breastfed 3+ months had less visceral fat than women who breastfed less, and women who didn't breastfeed at all had the most visceral fat. This controls for BMI, so it's the fat distribution that's different rather than the quantity.
This helps explain why women who breastfeed more are healthier long term.

Future implications: You can probably tell whether a woman breastfed her kids based on her thigh to waist ratio. Further research is required.

New German Study - The Covid-19 MRNA vaccines caused death in otherwise Healthy People

They say that all vaccines have adverse reactions.

Or at least they said that until covid-19, when, for two years, you weren't allowed to say that the Covid vaccine had any adverse reactions. It was the world's first Perfect Vaccine, like the 2020 election was the world's first Perfect Election and Climate Science is settled.

This is how we do Science now: We have all the politicians of the GAE line up and yell dogma and focus-group-tested attack lines at everyone until they comply with The Science (TM).

i am not really sure who of you spoke about made in abyss but season two hit me hard emotionally. it's a fest of dark psychological themes. feels like a slowly twisted knife of beauty.

There are a few posts here that may be interesting to the perennial "wtf should I grant a society kindness it refuses to extend to me?" debate:

I know, I know, memeflag time wasting shitpost but the responses are alright
@Argyrus >...refuse to go to work

They are not refusing, they are uninterested.

The invisible hand of the market has decided that a certain portion of the workforce behaves this way, you are the one refusing to chase after them.

People like hachi just want a world system where they are at the top of the hierarchy, and they aren't even self-aware enough to admit that.

I respect an outright tyrant more than a well-meaning dictator because at least the tyrant is honest about their intentions. The tyrant responds sensibly to deterrents because they are acting in self-interest. I've ranted elsewhere about why I feel that SBF is *worse* than your typical scammer because he was motivated by Effective Altruism.

> It's also part of the reason why we can't allow libertarians to form micronations or start-up societies because that leaves parts of the world without mutual aid.

This is extremely poor geopolitical strategy. If you make it impossible for your enemy to retreat, then he will have no choice but to attack.

On a related note, my least favorite political slogan is "silence is violence".

Some people just want to live in a log cabin and be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE.

Feind hört mit – die Nazis sind auferstanden

Mit dem Nazivergleich soll man vorsichtig umgehen. Das weiß ich. Aber zurzeit sind Nazis dem Sinne und dem Geiste nach wieder mitten unter uns. Es ist zum Beispiel unglaublich, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit eigenständiges Denken und Toleranz begraben werden. Kritischen Geistern wird die Möglichkeit, ihre Meinung und ihre Informationen zu verbreiten, entzogen bzw. erschwert. Sie, liebe
