And there's a bunch of research about breast milk adapting to help babies deal with disease (not a magic cure, but every bit helps) so, yes, I bet it reduces pain

IIRC breastfeeding generates oxytocin in the mother, which promotes bonding. But the other time we generate oxytocin for bonding is through orgasm and lots of people fall asleep easily after an orgasm

TL:DR, yes, you are probably right

Yeah, it's not that long ago that they accepted that people didn't grow out of it, they just drank more coffee

And it is even more recently that they accepted that people could have both ADHD and autism

The very first thing they asked: why you are pursuing a diagnosis now?

As tho "you made it this far, why can't you just power on until you die?" was reasonable

I was around 50. I pursued a diagnosis because pandemic plus hormones plus child

But also, they never diagnosed girls in the 80s

They have literally taken away the place my trans daughter found community at a difficult time, so fuck them

Thank goodness she stopped going because she needed revision time last year

It was a huge stress for everyone. People with "essential" jobs were suddenly soldiers, risking their lives to defend the loo roll

People in office jobs were suddenly functionally agrophobic

We are not designed for high cortisol and will be managing the developmental gaps created in kids for years

We chose our last two appliances because they had buttons/dials not touchscreens, and were not IoT enabled. This also meant that where we would previously have bought mid market appliances, we chose budget ones

And we have Alexa and smart lights, it's just that automation isn't always useful

Rich? Your prosperity pie chart...

That's why they are expanding ICE. It's full of people with no honour

Trouble is, they are totally unskilled, too

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

Also, literally every version of DnD except the first one has generated arguments about the changes, and most GMs run some homebrew rules, no matter what systems they run

Arguing about which systems you prefer is pretty much an intrinsic part of the hobby

I expect them to absolutely hemorrhage volunteers

Oh yeah, we got money for accommodations only at A level. Dyslexia so bad she took the marks hit of using a spell checker in her GCSEs, and ADHD. And dyspraxia

The school were great about it, at least

Someone at my kid's school got all three of her kids evaluated for possible dyslexia. None of them received a diagnosis. Claims of dodgy diagnoses are overblown

There's someone suing them. That person will have access to JKs wealth to support endless appeals

Because they have girls and women in their charter, they are vulnerable. But god I wish they had not caved

When my daughter was struggling with cliques at school, we found her two female-coded spaces outside school where she could find friendship

Neither one would welcome her now

I suspect that because it's "easy" they stopped allowing time for it and cut the resources or dumped the problem on the subs along with the blame

I need people to understand that LLMs write at this level

The only reason techbros think it writes well is that they write like 5 year olds

Like, there's been an outbreak ongoing for months now, this is a predictable need

Label with the source as well

I'm so glad they were able to get that textbook published (the one with the photos of how to identify diseases like measles on Black skin)

There is, or was, a male contraceptive. It involved an injection and could be reversed at any point by going back to the doctor

Men wouldn't take it and women didn't trust them if they said they had

IIRC India was the only country where they actually took it up

To the stepsister, most likely

Can they do boats? Because boat fuel is really dirty, IIRC

It's ok, we fought a war with the Afrikaans folk because apparently the British ought to have the right to exploit Southern Africa, and not the Dutch. And in the process, we invented the concentration camp

Studying history as a British person leaves you needing to apologise to practically everyone

The second instructor did, in fact, read the essay, agreed with the mark, and have feedback

So the TA, who, by the way, was directly called demonic in the essay, because she is trans, was doing the marking correctly

The actual topic, by the way, was about bullying of kids who don't fit gender norms, by their peers, and how that affects mental health

She said she doesn't see a problem with bullying and that is as much as she touches on mental health or peer relationships

She didn't reference the text except for some general comments at the start. So no points for "can I tell if you did the reading?" There are no quotes or citations.

Because of that, her comments can't be said to be a response to the article, it is a badly written response to the topic

Bah. London runs on immigration, and always has. England has benefitted hugely from immigrants. Earliest example I can think of were the Huguenot weavers, but there will have been more

I hate that it's become orthodox to clamp down on immigration

Someone at our local Evri concession takes the labels off things that look expensive and sends out random shit instead. The rug we got instead of a 3D printer was at least usable. The broken Tetris game was...less useful. It breaks my heart to contact small businesses and tell them
