  • Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself?

  • I would counter that the medical term is descriptive. Tell anyone with medical/medicine-related education someone has frontotemporal dementia and they know what is going on with the patient and what bodypart is affected. We can simplify with just "dementia" or a simpler term but you loose the specific meaning. Just like cancer is a two syllable simple word but a proper diagnosis includes way more information and has a more difficult term related. Equally, while the layman may prefer teflon and benadryl, the chemical/scientific name tells a trained person exactly what they are dealing with without having to look anything up, and does not suffer from different names across languages/borders. You cannot force simpler names as they will not be used in the medical/scientific community, so only if a disease is common enough to enter most peoples vocabulary will they come up with simpler terms or remember the term easily.

  • Out of 10. Be specific!

  • While I agree that your friend's story sucks, custody cases are handled very differently from rape cases. The justice system is prejudiced against men in that case, whereas in rape cases it is prejudiced against women. In both cases it would be nice if the prejudice is somehow removed.

  • If you were never fat, why are you trying to lose 20+ pounds?

  • It is lovely

  • Our dog will smack your phone out of your hand for pets.

  • The nursery rhyme "monkeys jumping on the bed" gives children the impression that you can just call your family doctor who will pick up immediately.

  • Same in the Netherlands.

  • If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?

  • I would first try to spray all dogs with a water hose.. all who play or chill are eliminated. Then I would bring them to a lake. Mine would be the first in the water.

  • Some ridiculous elevation gains too!

  • Women's sport: Why we need to talk about periods, breasts and injuries

    Jump

  • Apparently you're quite strong during your period and most women have their weakest time the week before it starts.

  • While I feel sorry for your experience, rape can ruin a life just as much and happens more often (and unpunished) than false accusations. They actually took you serious and made sure to do the proper interogations to find out people were lying. We are just asking they do the same for women who are raped.

  • This Natural, Zero-Calorie Sweetener Could Be a Secret Weapon Against Cancer

  • Tldr: A compound that is created when you ferment stevia with a specific bacteria selectively kills cancer cells vs healthy cells in a lab-grown culture.

    We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.

  • None of the accusations have been proven false though. (As far as I know)

  • True

  • And then I realize I would have most likely died during birth anyway..

  • Why am I so slow at cycling?

    Jump

  • It's awesome that you are cycling! If you learned only 1.5 months ago and are already doing 20 mile rides you are doing great. Your body probably needs to adapt to the movement a bit, so I wouldn't worry too much about speed just yet.

  • We have the reverse. My boyfriend can clean the whole apartment and still leave it looking messy, whereas I only clean when absolutely necessary, but will keep stuff tidy.

    With my parents, I see that they try to be equal in the work, but my dad rarely comes up with stuff to do on his own, so my mom always has to ask for every chore. He came from a "traditional roles" family, so probably suffering the after effects from that.

  • How you all doing rn?

  • I'm dealing with the worst stomach flu of my life and I have a 10 hour train ride in a few hours. Wish me luck!
