  • The researchers analyzed 229 mother-child pairs, calculating fluoride exposure from urine samples collected during the third trimester of pregnancy. Most urine samples were collected from fasting women, which improves the accuracy of chemical testing. Children were then assessed at age three using the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist, which uses parent reports to measure a child’s social and emotional functioning.

    Children exposed to an additional 0.68 milligrams per liter of fluoride in the womb were 1.83 times more likely to show behavioral problems considered to be clinically significant or borderline clinically significant. Specifically, children exposed to more fluoride had more problems with emotional reactivity, somatic complaints (such as headaches and stomachaches), anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.

    No association was found with several other neurobehavioral symptoms, including “externalizing behaviors” such as aggression and attention problems.

    Hmm, they are using a statistic as their study and parental reporting… what with PFOAs, pthalates, microplastics and parabens already present in water linked as endocrine disrupters I wonder how that plays over top of all of this fluoride as well.


  • It depends on why you’re in the games and what is going on with your life.

    It can be an escape

    It can be a break

    It can be an outlet

    It can just be for fun

    It can be an exercise for the brain

    But if it’s not providing any of that maybe that’s not what you need right now. It can also be a thing you need the escape/break from.

    It’s just a thing for spending time without productivity so walking away from it isn’t a big drama. It’s going to be there later when you want it.

    There’s other things that can provide a break or be fun for a while until you find the joy of the game again.






  • so that no other party ever has power again.

    This idiot already did 4 yrs once and that hasn’t happened.

    Had he run the full 8 back to back he would have done a lot more damage than he can do in it broken up. The time it takes to turn over all things will take more time than he has power especially when he might likely be far more distracted with his court case even still.

    Never know, maybe it was a blessing there was a break between terms to have all those charges land on him to help keep him distracted from his original course. It was a set back for him non the less.

    It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

    “You should be grateful”

    If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

    “I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

    If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.
