    Especially when they sign me up for a bunch of different emails lists I need to unsubscribe from each one individually and eventually just spam everything from them. Then they sell my email.

    Same reason there are still schools in the US. Even public schools have people in charge who make 4x the salary of teachers, while most teachers can't afford to live in the area they teach. The system relies entirely on enough people wanting to make the world a better place and undercutting those people.

    It wasn't for swimming, it was a location for eating. They probably had signs that said no swimming, or swim at your own risk. The restaurant is not responsible, but the person who pushed him would have gone in after him and saved him.

    I have, on multiple occasions, supported women who decided they wanted to take action to permanently prevent pregnancy, when they decided they never wanted to have children. Unfortunately, in most instances, doctors don't support women's bodily autonomy, but suggest they wait to find a man who can speak for them, or they can wait for menopause.

    If a man wants his tubes tied nearly any doctor will comply.

    Have you considered not sticking your dick in people you don't want to impregnate? Or getting your testicles removed? Both are very effective in preventing pregnancy.

    I was raped by someone who them rolled over after and asked if we had sex.. maybe they weren't lying? I didn't push them off because I was also asleep, then in shock. After that I'm told I punch and kick pretty violently in my sleep.

  • Is there any evidence of a difference in healthfulness between having fruit vs having added sugar along with fibre foods?

    Different types of sugar are digested at different rates, even if they all taste sweet. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, even allulose are found in fruits I'm different amounts and are all suggested differently. There are also various starches that change digestion taste and some of that (not not all) break down into sugars with amylase in saliva. Different kinds of starches break down at different rates and are digested differently and can alter the sugar absorption. Different kinds of fibers feed different kinds of things in your gut biome and are processed differently by your body too. Those are just the basic categories of carbohydrates without going into details of the different roles they play in digestion.

    Fruits, veg, whole grains, all have different nutrient profiles and your body treats them differently. Consuming a multivitamin with fiber supplement and sugar may get your caloric and some vitamin needs met but you will be missing many other things that a diet with a broad variety of foods can offer.

    Cloth diapers

    I'm in the US and don't know anyone who has used cloth diapers. I have done research but I'm looking for personal experiences. I would love to hear what people like/dislike, types, fabrics, brands, etc. Types I've found and my pro/con list: All in one: used most similar to disposable. No prep necessary after wash/dry. Takes the longest to dry. Can't be put in the dryer, line dry only. Cover: only used with fitted cloth diapers. Most difficult to put on because it's essentially two separate diapers to put on/take off. Cloth can be washed/dried in machine usually, cover is line dry only. Snap liners: can only use liners with snaps from the same brand. Least amount of poop on cover because there is nothing between the liner and butt. Can reuse cover when soiled, but requires more time to remove liner and snap in new liner. Liners can be washed/dried, covers are line dry only. Pockets: used with just about any liner. Cannot reuse cover once soiled, must be washed between used. Must be prepped with liners. Most similar to disposable for putting on/taking off. Liners can be washed/dried in machine, covers are line dry only. Can covers be used with liners? If so, wouldn't the liners move around? Can they be used with anything other than a full fitted diaper? I've asked a few other people online, so far everyone uses pockets due to ease of use while changing and easiest care for cleanup. I've heard covers with full fitted with best for heavy night wetters. Has anyone used these before? Does anyone have suggestions or experience they can share?

    I have a lot of dry clay I have saved to reuse. Most of it is in smaller pieces, I'm working my way to making it into powder. I'm thinking of getting a rock tumbler to make small batches of powder since most of the pieces are pretty small anyway. Currently, i put the powder and sometimes granules into a bucket and pour white vinegar and very hot water over it, sometimes mixing immediately sometimes waiting for it to cool. I always let it rehydrate for at least a few days before drying on a plaster board. Currently I mix the clay by folding and flattening, as this is easier than wedging for me. I'll wedge smaller pieces, but for these larger ones I'll pop the air bubbles and smooth it out. So far it's been ok but I'll sometimes have a bubble I missed until I am nearly done shaping on the wheel. Does anyone have suggestions for how to decrease the air bubbles trapped from rehydrating? Would a vibrating paint mixer work?
