People with no or low self-worth are way more likely to neglect their health than those with high self-worth. Pride is a huge motivator for taking care of your health.

The levels of obesity and diabetes among the Pima Indians of Arizona have long been recognised to be high. A small study tested the efficacy of lifestyle interventions. Two groups were identified. The Pima action group had a familiar mix of interventions on nutrition and physical activity. The Pima pride group looked remarkably like a control group for a health education trial—they received printed leaflets about activity and nutrition—but in addition they had regular discussions with local leaders on Pima culture and history. At the end of 12 months, much was going in the wrong direction for the action group, but the pride group had either less deterioration of risk factors or improvements. Compared with the action group the pride group looked favourable on weight, waist circumference, and blood glucose and insulin levels two hours after a glucose load.3 A tentative conclusion was that increasing pride in their identity had a more favourable impact on health behaviours and risk than focusing on how to change diet and exercise.

People often don’t take care of things they aren’t proud of. It doesn’t matter if it’s clearly in their best interest to.

You said you didn’t like the word coochie because it makes them sound less pointy. I was asking why you want the word to be pointy.

And the kids playing tag are likely not even gen z but gen alpha. No one can even pick on the right generation.

Most consumers don’t buy their own routers. The only time I’ve helped people buy routers in the last decade is to get one you could install a vpn on. Looking at the wireless standards never crossed our minds.

I don’t think I particularly want a pointy sounding word for vulva because I don’t think of vulvas as pointy. I was just curious why you want a pointy word rather than a round one.

Why do you think of vulvas as pointy?

Exactly. XY is not at all a hindrance to lactation. Because XY and XX nipples are the same. It’s just hormones (usually while pregnant) that make them function.

You’re not viewing cunt cells in ultrasounds people share. You’d be viewing a fetus, uterus, placenta. But that’s all internal. Not external.

You call called them vagoos. I’m not sure you have much room to judge.

You can’t see the baby without the ultrasound. It’s not like you could grab a speculum and get a good look in person.

That’s more adult slang for vagina. Little kid euphemism would be something like hooha or twinkle.

More like “hand-crafted” or “rustic” for a similar positive vibe.

How science often works is you try to disprove things, and if you can’t, you accept them as likely to be true. So, to show that the thesis is complete and accurate, they’re trying to find places where it’s incomplete or inaccurate. In the defense, your job is to defend against these attempts.

I hate that debunking flat earth is now seen as serious rather than a 5th grade science experiment.

It’s because we can write numbers in many ways. 9900/99 is 100 just as surely as 99.99… is.

Were you around in March of 2020?

If you know what the Gettysburg address is about, I’d be absolutely shocked if you didn’t know who delivered it.

The thing is, placebos can actually be pretty effective. Hell, they’re effective even if you know they’re a placebo. And the more elaborate and similar to what you think would be involved in curing you, the more effective. So people going to chiropractors might actually be getting real results even if the things they’re doing are junk.

They’re the exact same mistake. Since the commenter you were responding to wasn’t the one to originally make the mistake, but instead was arguing with someone who’s premise relied on that mistake, it’s weird to only get on them about it.
