Not sure what else would be expected here. The public spoke what it wants. So he’s like ok folks, this is what you asked for so have at it.

The public are dumb.

The researchers analyzed 229 mother-child pairs, calculating fluoride exposure from urine samples collected during the third trimester of pregnancy. Most urine samples were collected from fasting women, which improves the accuracy of chemical testing. Children were then assessed at age three using the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist, which uses parent reports to measure a child’s social and emotional functioning.

Children exposed to an additional 0.68 milligrams per liter of fluoride in the womb were 1.83 times more likely to show behavioral problems considered to be clinically significant or borderline clinically significant. Specifically, children exposed to more fluoride had more problems with emotional reactivity, somatic complaints (such as headaches and stomachaches), anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.

No association was found with several other neurobehavioral symptoms, including “externalizing behaviors” such as aggression and attention problems.

Hmm, they are using a statistic as their study and parental reporting… what with PFOAs, pthalates, microplastics and parabens already present in water linked as endocrine disrupters I wonder how that plays over top of all of this fluoride as well.

It depends on why you’re in the games and what is going on with your life.

It can be an escape

It can be a break

It can be an outlet

It can just be for fun

It can be an exercise for the brain

But if it’s not providing any of that maybe that’s not what you need right now. It can also be a thing you need the escape/break from.

It’s just a thing for spending time without productivity so walking away from it isn’t a big drama. It’s going to be there later when you want it.

There’s other things that can provide a break or be fun for a while until you find the joy of the game again.

How are people this stupid?something in the water?

If the only reason you voted for trump as a form of ‘punishment’ towards dems, then yea that is on the voters. You should be voting for what helps you. Not to be a petty idiot.

Voters voted a fascist ‘as a punishment’ knowing full well what was going to happen?

That’s akin to blaming your significant other for your decision to cheat on them.

Dear voters who pulled this shit: Go get some big pants on and wear some blame. While you’re at it grow the fuck up.

Anyone would say that about their own party not meeting every single wish within a 4 yr run.

It’s like hiring an accountant to undo what another accountant did within one season.

It’s weird how Americans don’t really understand their own system.

so that no other party ever has power again.

This idiot already did 4 yrs once and that hasn’t happened.

Had he run the full 8 back to back he would have done a lot more damage than he can do in it broken up. The time it takes to turn over all things will take more time than he has power especially when he might likely be far more distracted with his court case even still.

Never know, maybe it was a blessing there was a break between terms to have all those charges land on him to help keep him distracted from his original course. It was a set back for him non the less.

there are countries out there that face much worse for far longer yet somehow people have survived it for so long.

But many do leave.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that

I keep reminding myself it’s 4 years and then he can never come back after that again.

The new cars have been coming out with voice commands also so you don’t have to look at the screen while driving. They even have a tactile button for it on the wheel.

The brain might adapt after a while. Our brains really do already fill in a lot that we don’t know about with our field of vision with two eyes.

Just wear swimming goggles

I thought this is why swim goggles exist. Chlorine,salt, any water is hard on the eyes regardless of contact lenses.

I’d wear swim goggles regardless in water.

I like how the diapers are on the outside

There’s more Africa than just South Africa.

It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

“You should be grateful”

If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

“I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.

‘It’s just a joke’ yup, that’s been said by sexual predators before too.

I don’t care about

I’ve told 3 coworkers already that I don’t talk to them

Ok so now you’re adding more information here. 3 people. this sounds less about just having some standards and more of a pattern emerging here.

What you are describing is more in line with how an APD thinks and behaves and not just a mere introvert trait.

The introversion trait isn’t attached to aversion. It’s based on personal need. No one trait needs to be rude and throw all politeness out the window. That’s bigger than a mere trait. People with introvert trait (without comorbidity) can actually talk to people and have a social ability even at work and they do not shy away from socializing full stop. They take periodic breaks based on need.

they feel offended

Again: that’s predictive.

Something doesn’t compute here. Unless you’ve misplaced yourself into a customer based industry and you’re just not a people person: Having a mere trait doesn’t end up with a collection of people aggressive at work. Nor would it be so attached to aversion and delivering hostile narrative on what other people must be thinking.

There is a proper way to break a conversation without having to be abrupt about not wanting to talk. Simply having a trait doesn’t rule over basic common decency.

You sound like you have something else going on aside from just the introvert trait.
