  • France enacts ban on ‘forever chemicals’ - with one big exception

    Jump

  • There are notable exceptions to the ban, however, for high-performance membranes used in filtration or separation processes, and textiles deemed “necessary for essential use” or national sovereignty.

    and

    The first draft law also included a ban on non-stick saucepans, but this has been removed following reports of “intense lobbying” from French manufacturer Tefal.

  • Iconic cupcake chain closing all company-owned bakeries

    Jump

  • 2012 sounds right for that, actually. There definitely was one, but I couldn't have guessed the year. There was just a time when I made a bunch of cupcakes because I kept seeing fun recipes online.

  • Is there a self-help way to deal with fear of germs/"contamination"?

    Jump

  • You can probably start with careful exposure therapy. I'm not sure how to do that with germ phobia. I dealt with a fear of spiders by reading about them and looking at pictures until I stopped feeling disgust/anxiety. I then just kind of noted and moved on when I saw one in real life. These days I see a spider and can even move it if it's in a bad spot without feeling anxious.

    Not knowing your triggers, I can't say if that path would help or make it worse.

    https://fherehab.com/learning/germophobia-treatment This could be useful for learning terms so you can look up and find reviews for self help books.

    For my social anxiety, I started out getting books from the library about that specific phobia. It took a lot of time to get from there to telling my doctor I was anxious all the time, to medication, and then therapy. I doubt I'll ever be free of it, but I can do a lot of things now I once couldn't (small talk with customers? wow!)

    It kind of has to be guided by you and the specifics of your phobia, unfortunately. Like, would looking at a picture of a dirty surface for five minutes a day make you anxious? Just a little, or a lot? If a little, try it. If a lot, scale it back further. Hopefully someone with a similar phobia comes around with more relevant advice. Good luck?

  • I get it but I also like that it's there as a reminder how up there he is. But I've assumed for a while I'll find out about his death because I'll reload tumblr and be confronted with a wall of crab rave gifs.

  • every cycle of charge and discharge causes batteries to expand and contract, similar to human breathing. This action causes battery components to warp just a tiny amount, putting strain on the battery and weakening it over time.

    I like when scientists have fun with describing things.

    When my door sticks on humid days I should say it's because my doorframe is breathing.

  • How many big names have paid the price for being linked to Jeffrey Epstein? Fewer than you might think | Emma Brockes

    Jump

  • I wish we could offer the victims lifelong protection from retribution if they agree to name names. They deserve to live full, healthy lives and the people who hurt them need to face justice. As it is...

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epstein-survivors-list/

    When they've tried to do anything, nothing comes of it and their lives get worse.

    "Most of the individuals, the victims, are very scared to say these names because they could get sued. They're going to get attacked, and nobody protected them the first time and that was against one person," Edwards said.

    Henderson added, "I think if someone's interested in prosecuting, they may have something different to say about sharing a list, but they're not sharing a list for nothing to happen. And that's the experience that they've had for all of these years."

    All their lives, they get treated like a sacrifice for other people to get what they want. They get raped to fulfill the fantasies of the powerful. They get threatened if they ever say anything. Now, the well intentioned keep pushing them to come out with names for the greater good. Are there negotiations behind the scenes to make sure the people who victimized them don't use their considerable power and lack of interest in abiding to the law (by definition, if someone raped a child, they don't care about exclusively following the law) to further harm them? And everyone they care about?
