Ummmmm actually my discord pfp is definitely of a girl in her early twenties. Well, ok MAYBE she’s a teenager but she’s definitely of age!

I’m really not a big white potato fan but sweet potatoes and onions are delicious

Thing a about sweet potatoes is, you can eat em straight. Sweet potato fries by themselves are probably less sugar than regular fries + ketchup

The hell is a “major state”

Ohhhhhhhhhh I get it! They called it Vista like a view, like something you would see out of a window (I am not very smart)

The headline in this post says 41 hit. That is the clarification I was trying to make.

Yeah I’ve seen drone footage of 4-5 planes burning though, not 40. It would not be the first time Ukraine has made a big exaggerated claim.

Right my point is we don’t know how many “targeted” planes were actually hit. Like does that mean they launched drones with the intention of hitting them? Does it mean Zelinsky pointed to a satellite image and said “try to get that plane on the airfield”? I hope they get as many as possible but I’m still a little skeptical of the 40 plane claim. Let’s wait and see, satellite images will be able to prove it one way or another.

Noel says 41 were TARGETED, citing official sources

Although I thought Brexit was a bad idea, I appreciate you sharing your opinion and adding some more diversity to conversation on Lemmy, something that is sorely lacking.

I think it’s also just tricky because sports fans tend to want to follow discussion of their team, which splits for example the soccer/football community into hundreds of sub-communities. I used to follow r/panthers (I am a long suffering charlotte home team supporter) but such a community doesn’t exist on lemmy. Similarly, you don’t really see active individual video game communities on lemmy even though that is more up the alley of the average lemmy user.

Regular pumped hydro has an overall efficiency of about 80%. I would guess these sphere things would be similar, assuming you can put them near a high-voltage line, since the underlying technology (pump and turbine) is the same.

I mean, you take your pick-which generation would you actually want to switch with? Baby boomers had it better economically (if you were a white man) but a lot less tolerance for everything from being a single woman to interracial marriage (much less gay marriage or transgender recognition)

I thought I left reddit :,(

Well, I mean convincing to the public at large. Yeah I know I guy, otherwise perfectly smart, that is convinced that aliens are real based on the cheesiest, most obviously faked videos from back in the 80s or whatever.

BY GOD

Whatever. I was legitimately trying to understand your argument without reading a nearly 5000-word dissertation. Anyways, I just noticed that the summary at the top of your link states

“King argues that population studies suggest that mood-based symptoms are not the most common nor most disruptive of menstrual changes. She then proposes that the trend of ‘psychologizing’ premenstrual symptoms is influenced by the sexist historical assumption of ‘the myth of the irrational female’—the idea that women, due to their reproductive biology, are pathologically emotional and thus have a reduced capacity for reason. The author concludes by calling for a more integrated and rigorous approach to PMS definitions and research to support people who experience cyclical symptoms, without unintentionally pathologizing the menstrual cycle or stigmatizing an entire gender.”

Which feels pretty damn close to my interpretation. Some people would rather be righteously upset about being misunderstood than explain themselves plainly.

I’m gonna be honest I didn’t read that entire chapter but I think I get the gist of it. King posits that PMS is falsely understood to be a primarily mental/mood-related condition due to the underlying sexist belief that women are fundamentally irrational and overly emotional. Sure, no disagreement there. PMS has sort of become a meme and a cultural phenomenon, which may cause women and men both to play up the mood swing side of it. With that said, “The chief complaint is one or more of the emotional symptoms associated with PMS. Irritability, tension, or unhappiness are typical emotional symptoms”. According again to Wikipedia which in my experience is more accurate than any single source or anecdote.
