It is typical to expect an unattributed quote to be from the subject text, which this does not appear to be.

The focus, for some reason, seems to be whether women at large read midwifery manuals or if men wrote them and controlled the knowledge of birthing in literature.

The whole article is so wholly ignorant in its precepts, it is genuinely not worth having been written.

Yes, believe the point being that evidence remains undiscovered and underwater...

It is baffling to me that it is a concern to you or frankly anyone that is not of extraordinary wealth.

Why? I tell you why: all effective measures at "reducing climate change" (very status quo) will unquestionably make life more laborious and less comfortable for the lower 98% of humanity. Our sacrifices will permit the 2% (or fewer) extravagance beyond what we've ever seen.

The permafrost will melt unleashing massive forests worth of growth, huge swaths of frozen soil will become inhabitable and fertile.

The ancestors of the Americas lived on the coast, 400 feet below today's surf. No one lamenting the old huts weve lost along the way

To further reiterate:

hundreds of years or even longer for this feedback loop to become effective.

Is the "worth" making the car drive better somehow?

You got a bad price on a car and other people are going to get a lower price, so you should get what exactly? If you're bad at negotiating should the government bail out your bad contractual agreements?

This strikes me as some kind of distorted fear mongering

They only depreciate

I cant believe this got downvotes...

Until we categorically prevent banks from attempting to "satisfy shareholders" with returns, these occurances will continue in one form or another.

Banks dont need to be sexy or shake up the industry. We need boring people in banking making okay-ish money.

No sensical person is concerned with the interest rate on savings, it is nearly zero and effectively negative.

I dont believe anyone should have a single account with 100 million dollars nor should banks allow that, but they do. Perhaps part of the problem is that the $250k coverage is a value that should adjust annually and coverage should be relative to each account as opposed to each account holder

It isn't something you have to do, but then it's clearly not something you do.

This is accurate, but it isn't the war being fought and it is hardly the first volley.

Ukraine is a mostly unwilling participant in a much larger game. If you choose a most peculiar and narrow view regarding the nature of this conflict, it seems somewhat obtuse to question another comments "voice"

Doctors like this are disgusting. Nothing about obesity is incurable for the vast majority of the obese. It is a lifestyle choice.

Score one more for pharma and drugs that "require" lifetime use.

How are you supposed to keep your page though?

Daily.place/Katie or /Steve are going to have some real competition

It's a book for children. That is quite obvious.

You are smart enough to know what's obvious to you, can you infer then what is so obvious to a child?

You have missed the point. I'm not protecting the obese or advocating for censorship.

It is unwise to introduce some word associations to children, such as a negative conotation to a word, because they are limited in their understanding. This also seems obvious

Wake up. Do you know what one revolution gets you? Back to where you started! But you cant see that, because its always someone else in the way of your success... the monarchs, the capitalist, the educated (said Pol Pot). Yes these pesky groups always keep you down and therefore they must be overthrown!

Communists doing communist things, always thinking they know best.

The Leninist policies are considered to have cost in the ballpark of 30 million lives. In the Tsarist rule ~1500 people were executed in a year at the extreme. In the communist days 1500 were killed in a day, but every day for 30 years.

The Moaists are considered to have killed 50 million.

"Capitalist Exploitation" - you mean businesses doing business?

Do you believe people will be exploited less under a different economic system? Why do you believe that?

And to think, it only cost the lives of tens of millions of 'Russians'!

And that "educational effort" to steer children to denounce their own families and parents, commiting them to execution. That only cost tens of millions of Chinese lives too.

So despite your sarcasm, you seem to have provided exactly that information many already know: the achievements of communism are more important to communists than lives, but they are happy to use others lives both to justify their own actions and measure the success of communism!

Bewildering

"Fat" is an insult. It isnt hard to understand. Is it factually true that an obese person is 'fat', sure. It is still generally regarded as an insult.

Most of these replies are coming from idiots. This is both factual and an insult.

I havent made any remarks defending obesity or suggesting we need to curtail efforts of obese people to control their weight

Calling a character in a kids book "fat" doesnt help kids stay healthy and fit. Insulting and shaming kids doesnt help them stay healthy and fit. Their parents probably feed them garbage and have made poor lifestyle decisions.

It is really simple.

Food fats aren't bad. So call them chubby or overweight or whatever you want. Using the word fat, when fat refers to a food product, gives dumb people the impression that fat is a bad thing.

Do you get this concept?

"Thin" isnt a food group. Short and tall, also not food groups.

'Fat' should not be used in kids books as a derogatory, or at all frankly. Fat is an incredibly important and necessary part of a healthy diet and should be treared accordingly. Training people to think of fat in the antiquated notions of bad cardiogy isnt useful.

So while this may have been a move centered around "body positivity", it serves and higher purpose.

>There's enough there to remain suspicious.

Honestly, after years of the Democrats throwing everything they can at Trump, still nothing. Yet you persist.

Switch your focus to Biden perhaps, the current corrupt president that mishandled classified documents, has made a fortune off his political position.... see the similarities here? No? Of course not.

I'm fine with distaste for Trump and the realities of disinformation campaigns, but the focus of the Twitter files in this regard is clearly specific to the false Russia Trump connection propagated by Dem polticians and leftists.

If the purpose of propoganda stories is to paint the Russians as untrustworthy to the Western world (hint: that is the purpose!) then it is surely effective.

NASA is not the DOD

>drift and hammer

Adding incompatible ionic compounds causes material failure

>It's not like they're CIA operatives

Hmm that's a pretty strange assumption to make.
