Good lookin' all around except I'd dispute this claim:
(beyond the fact that they subjected the mice to their experiments for a full year, which is much longer than most people tend to vape when using it for smoking cessation)
"no offense" lol and then you go on to ask a random ass question that's usually meant to offend. why are you bringing up GDPs in Africa anyway?
if you're actually trying to learn something, then what's the "no offense" for? it sounds like you want us to draw a controversial conclusion - probably that Africans are lazy or something. if you actually believe this and are behaving this way online, then there's probably no point in trying to explain how the consequences of colonization continue to hold back development in many African nations.
why don't you take your dogwhistles elsewhere, or at least learn some social cues. "no offense" is a pretty idiotic thing to say and might best be removed from your vocabulary. because, no offense, you sound like a fucking moron.

an argument against regulating sex work is that it would place government control on what we do with it bodies
That's also happening with banning it, of course, but I'm not sure if the jump we necessarily want is legalization plus regulation. Just a thought, no stance yet
The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....
Definitely doesn't. Part of developing expertise is having your ideas challenged by another expert, working with them to flesh out your own thinking, and facing sone gatekeeping on the label "expert".
None of these things happen solely from waiting tables or reading a book!
in mental health, yes actually, a surprisingly large amt of people look to me to be the expert. it's often just as challenging to help someone see that they're the expert on themselves.
you'd expect a lot of tiktok diagnoses and bizarro pseudo science attitudes, and while those do come up, they aren't that prevalent. and it's usually a symptom of something, i.e. someone with paranoid/grandiose delusions preaching med noncompliance.
I dont encounter anyone who thinks my work is just a joke, but plenty who believe I cant help them and they're better off on their own
technically the right of way is something that MUST be yielded to you. a traffic light cannot grant you ROW if someone is barreling through it. the light only guides who should yield it.
the issue with the waver in this comic is that, while they are yielding ROW for their own lane, there's four other fucking lanes that they cannot control
Desire for routine or at least control over the routine can show up in ADHD, esp as a means of controlling one's own condition. the routine may not look like a routine to others lol
hey good on you being skeptical of MH info on social media. In this case, the hyper interests are the kind of thing that once you've been on the receiving end of it, you know what it is.
For some reason began going down a rabbit hole thinking about this. Let's say you are blind, and reliant on a guide dog, but end up in prison for a non-violent crime like possession of illegal drugs. Are you allowed to keep the dog? No, right? But if you are entirely reliant on the guide dog to perform daily tasks, how do you...

except... it's not. we can let it go because it is a light hearted question, but as someone who provides treatment to this population I just wanted to give a shout out to the fact that addiction goes beyond biochemical dependence and usually stems from shit being fucked up in your own life that causes you to be interested in using substances to begin with
I think you overstate how significantly social media impacts your local community and livelihood. like, it does, but not nearly as much as what you could do out in the world
