I'm not sure sarcasm is the right word. I'd say it's more "self awareness". Cake is a good example. They're not serious and their music is almost a parody of pop-alt-rock at the time. Radiohead is borderline self-aware; they're sad and they know it, but not so sad as to be "serious" about it like Dashboard Confessional.

They should stop taking weapons from the US to teach them a lesson.

Probably because most stabby blows are going to come at an upward or horizontal angle, less from the top down at an angle that could penetrate. Holding a pointy weapon above your head and driving it down at close range exposes your torso. You could use a halberd or billhook for a top-down strike, but that's still not super likely to be at the right angle to slide between the pieces. Longer weapons like that were used more for poking than swinging like an axe anyway.

If you can use an Xbox controller, you can work for the military flying drones to murder people from the comfort of your desk chair.

I don't think so. The bill was written by a chemist. I don't know what fentanyl or narcan are from a chemical perspective to be able to evaluate if the law would apply to narcan. It says this:

‘‘(e)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of a fentanyl-re- lated substance, or which contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.

It would be up to the DoJ to enforce the court's orders. The DoJ that's run by Trump...

So I won't be able to pull up an online resource map and camp resource spawns endlessly and complain about the lack of content? Sounds dumb. /s

Good for you! That time with your family is really important.

I'm from the US and I caused quite a stir when I took 4 weeks off; 3 days paternity leave and the rest was accrued vacation. HR was trying to convince me to break it up because "it would set a bad precedent." But my boss was supportive and approved it anyway.

Good thing you were never a kid! That'd be pretty fucked up if you had been a kid at some point and benefitted from the general public funding your education, then you slam the door behind you and make everyone else pay their own way through elementary school.

Let me be clear that I'm no fan of RFK, anti-vaxxers, or any fad diets. I am a fan of evidence-based nutrition and practicing moderation. I believe that a varied diet with lower-processed foods is best for most people.

Avocado and EVOO are much less processed, which is generally preferable to more highly refined ingredients. Refining removes a lot of nutrients and concentrates what's left. That means you need a lot less of it to influence the balance of things within your body. It doesn't make highly refined oils "bad", but it does make watching your intake of them more important.

Specifically about the oils, seed oils are high in omega-6 and low in omega-3. Your body needs both and it cannot produce them. The issue comes from the fact that the average American diet has a stark imbalance of way too much 6 and not enough 3. Refined oils provide a lot of 6 but 3 is harder to come by. Getting a good amount of 3 means eating oily fish and nuts, and choosing more balanced oils for a more balanced diet.

The ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 2:1 or 1:1, but for most people in the U.S., the ratio is actually a whopping 10:1 or even 20:1.
