dude. Jesus. Silly opinion

Yeah I’m done here. And hurt, I even said you’re right!

You’re right, drinking distilled water is perfectly fine, just take a multivitamin to compensate for the lack of minerals.

Source for the salty foods? Salt in food is normally sodium chloride, not the calcium or magnesium which you need to replenish.

Can’t find it right now, lots of articles online about electrolyte imbalance causing issues, but none linked to an actual source.

For once, yes. But exclusively? It’ll extract minerals from your body, causing health issues.

Nope, distilled water has nothing, no minerals or anything else, including ions. Deionized water is also not the best for consumption.

I have a kid of the same age, and ours are less strict, except for bed time, it’s 21:30 if there’s school the next day. Wake up time is whatever necessary, like others said teens need their rest. Screen time ends at 21:00 on school nights, but will get more strict if school results are getting lower. Basically we give our kids a lot of freedom, but expect them to do their school work and behave like normal human beings. We’re also strict on alcohol, drugs or other substances, which is not always the case in my part of the world.

The acces to birth control?

Meanwhile I learned this weekend how to pronounce “dandelion” from watching a Beavis and Butthead clip. And I haven been speaking English for decades, in both professional and social settings.

Moi mien jong!

Keeze (Dutch Lower Saxon).

I’ve used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.

Yeah, for work I also have the outlook app on the phone, and that’s even worse; some kind of overwatch policy prevents me from getting pop-ups reminding me which meeting I have, instead prompting me that I have a calendar event, and I should open outlook to see what it is. Then I have some additional hoops to jump through to actually view, so I gave up on that years ago. For now, a piece of paper it is.

I tought that was me! This week I finally gave up on it, and started printing my calendar for the day. Welcome to 30 years ago I guess.

I think this was all over Europe, it was a big hit in the Netherlands.

Very much this, a lot of stuff is packed in plastic today where it doesn’t need packaging at all. Packaging is becoming an industry where there is no added value very quickly.

I use that too, on a different computer.

I still use Winrar.

True, but not always. A lot of waste and pollution comes from packaging, which if I think about it seems to be an industry which tries (and succeeds) to create it’s own demand. Like this one, a new “recyclable” packaging with more plastics in it than the old bags.

I get what you’re saying, but I disagree. The (male) people I see hating on trans people can just as easily hate any group they’re not part of. They hate homosexuals because they think every gay person will try to have sex with them, they hate blacks because they steal your job due to DEI, they hate muslims because they’re all terrorists, they hate disabled people because they don’t contribute to society, and they hate trans people because it confuses them. They can always find a reason (not through their own critical thinking skills though) to hate anyone.
