The story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.

The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”

A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.

Oh my god. This was amazing.

MacKenzie Scott, Bezos’s ex. She’s given more than $14 billion to charity.

I don’t think that guy can feel his teeth.

I wish I had just a bit of whatever he’s on. Holy shit.

If what you want is weight loss, you don’t need to overcomplicate things—all you need is to eat fewer calories, and if you want to do exercise, do cardio. Sounds like the elliptical is going to be your friend.

Muscle building is great, but I say this as someone who enjoys bodybuilding: If you try to build muscle at the same time as you lose weight, you’re going to be so hungry that it’s going to impede your efforts to eat less. I’m all for folks doing strength training once they’re not as invested in fat loss, though.

Good luck!!

The first thing that came to mind, oddly enough, was Blockbuster refusing to buy Netflix for the equivalent of a rat and a string to swing it with.

Hey, I think it’s fine to cut yourself some slack on this issue. :-)

You like what you like, and if you’re going to commit resources and time to another being over 18 years or so, I think it’s fine to enjoy the way it looks! I for example love gray cats, but only because of a positive association I have with a previous pet. Are all gray cats as loving as he was? I’m sure not, but I still have such positive thoughts in my head about the grey babies. 

I fail to see how this isn’t the apocalypse.

That’s exactly it. Almost 70 percent of land is in the northern hemisphere.

Teach me how.

Yeah at this point, there’s two types of people. Those who aren’t interested in climate change either because they don’t believe it will happen or believe we can stop it, and those who are absofuckinlutely terrified. I think I’d rather be blissfully ignorant.

It’s easy to look at this from the lens of people just wanting power, but maybe it’s something akin to the grief, honest grief, I felt about leaving Reddit because I had been there so long as just a user. I can’t imagine how it would feel to give up control over something that I had created and curated for many years knowing that it was going to be destroyed.

Fair enough!

But isn’t that just giving Reddit more traffic and doing exactly what spez wants us to do? 

I’d like to thank you for what you did.

I had been on Reddit for a similar amount of time, but I had cycled through a number of usernames during that period. So it wasn’t nearly as big of a loss for me as it was for you—I appreciate the lengths you went for supporting the cause. Thank you. 

Same, friend. I have three bird tattoos, and I used to be a big birder, but I stopped. The woods around me are becoming quieter, and I can’t stand the silence, so I listen to music instead of looking for friends in the woods.

Have we created orbiting poles of garbage, or are WE in fact orbiting piles of garbage?

Same. He’s just the billionaire of billionaires, the apotheosis of billionaires.

I’m not a biologist, but I feel like krill would be a strong contender, considering what percentage of ocean creatures rely on them for food.
