Despite surging demand for long-term care, providers struggle to find workers
  • 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.

  • US man has brain damage, mother says, after allegedly being pushed into lake
  • 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.

  • Florida abortion clinics squeeze in as many patients as possible ahead of 6-week ban
  • 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.

  • Sexsomnia: An embarrassing sleep disorder no one wants to talk about
  • 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.

  • Maybe you just need to get some sun
  • You have sudden onset chest pains and lethargy? Well I see your boobs are nicely sized but the rest of you could lose weight, I prescribe you with diet and exercise and diagnose you with anxiety because you thought you needed to come in. I can prescribe you both control if you continue to be anxious.

  • I don't enjoy it when people compliment me. Why could it be?
  • Some people are saying lack of compliments as a child, some are saying neglect.

    I personally feel similarly much of the time. My parents would compliment me or tell me they are proud but usually just my mother and usually after my sibling did something and we are talking about how proud my mom is of them, like she forgot about me and "oh yeah I'm proud of you too, you do stuff too probably. You weirdo."

    My dad was emotionally detached and made jokes I could never get because I was a kid without the background knowledge to understand what the joke was. I'm not my mom's favorite and that was always pretty clear. As I've grown up I've realized my mom's favorite might be herself first, as she often makes many things about her, or changes topics to be about her.

    I'm so accustomed to hearing things I can do better that those seem more comfortable to me. I know what to focus on and how I can try and improve. Or, someone just doesn't like me or wants to complain and there isn't anything I can do, I'm just there in their way of existing.

    Generally with compliments I'll say "thanks" or "thank you" but I'm more comfortable with critical feedback I can use to better myself in some way.

    I don't know your background, I can't say why you feel the way you do. But you aren't alone in feeling that way, 'normal' or not. If it causes you anxiety or other discomfort for extended periods of time I would suggest trying to work that out with someone, even just a diary if possible to get your thoughts down.

  • How did overalls and jumpsuits went from male work clothe to female fashion without becoming "male fashion" ?
  • Not sure if you noticed women's pants are significantly tighter and more form fitting than men's. They also tend to be thinner and stretchier to accommodate, and therefore usually wear out faster and are not as good in cold weather.
