Had the same thought - casualty is definitely not the right word to use here

Are they going to send back eggs?

Ha! The first link even includes an advertisement featuring RFK Jr wanting to “make America healthy again.”

This inherently conflicts with Trump’s instruction to challenge anti-christian bias.

I miss when phones rang because lightning struck.

Out of curiosity, I searched for China’s approach and found that they banned children bringing phones to school without written parental consent. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55902778

I’m still figuring out where I stand, but I’m not sure I disagree. School shooters have been linked to high social media use. I wonder if a ban could help at all in this regard.

On a side note, I don’t really see how banning cell phones could be interpreted as punishment. If anything, it should help reduce apparent disparities and avoid punishment for inappropriate use

Aren’t these separate issues? I won’t pretend to know much about this, but it does seem like some companies are taking advantage of H-1B employees.

What was it doing there in the first place?

Even Trump and Musk have kids - doesn’t make either one less of a dirt bag.

We kept hearing this as well, but our personal experience has been the opposite. I think ABA therapy has changed dramatically over the years and shouldn’t be generalized as such. ABA seeks to understand behavior and includes that which is unseen. Specific therapists have certainly been problematic over the years though.

“We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – there is no place for hate in a democracy.

Trump is getting rid of that democracy problem

Can’t blame them - I would try to get out of SC too

Private prisons also saw a huge bump in stock prices. GEO Group is up a shocking 26% this morning and CoreCivic—once known as Corrections Corporation of America—is up 20%.

Wow. A lot of people know what’s coming and don’t give a damn.

Just look at that word salad. I bet getting dressed is a real struggle for him

Although it is common to use churches as temporary polling places, I wonder how much ballots may be influenced by the location.

I haven’t read the entire article, but this raises some interesting points: https://theconversation.com/voting-while-god-is-watching-does-having-churches-as-polling-stations-sway-the-ballot-144709

Well that was an interesting rabbit hole. There have been a number of new studies in the past decade, and researchers are still investigating the effects of free fructose in sweeteners.

This study is fairly recent: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8188419/

This study notes how the actual amount of fructose varies from the expected amount in popular beverages: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899900714001920

Every study I read continues to point out that sweeteners with free fructose taste sweeter and have negative health effects in large quantities while stating how results are inconclusive due to excessively caloric intake. I’m still skeptical of HFCS for now.

Yes but I like making cheap jabs at the drink industry.

On a serious note - you’re absolutely right to avoid sugar, and I stopped drinking sweetened beverages many years ago. From what I understand though, people would develop fewer health problems if they consumed cane sugar instead of HFCS. Apparently the unbound fructose makes a difference when consuming sugar at such a high volume.

Sugar or high fructose corn syrup?
