Post a controversial opinion

Not controversial: 23 and Me offers a useful genotyping service, the ancestry information is mostly nonsense, but if you import your SNP data into a site like promethease.com you can actually find some useful medical data.

Controversial: The present #sexcrisis risks conflating serious abuses of power with acts that were not intended to exploit, demean, or objectify. So long as society values disinhibition and extroversion, there will be acts that some interpret as sexual harassment, particularly in fields where those personality traits are feted (entertainment, sales, politics). Zero tolerance may be a laudable goal, but a better one would be making all free to sharply reject sexual advances and notify HR (or the public), without fear of employment or social repercussions, providing immediate negative feedback to the offenders, and for repeat offenders to face consequences immediately, rather than after delays of decades.

I'm an profoundly inhibited introvert, so very much on the sidelines here. I welcome the comeuppance of many who have abused power, and the genuine creeps. I'm deeply ambivalent about what happened to senator Franken (and similar accusations against former president GHW Bush), as I don't think we're drawing the sharp red line in the right place.

Why am I so damn dyslexic when making first pass edits in this window. Is there an ILX format template that allows us to adjust the size of the editing window? Half my issue is 150 character long lines.

Oh for real? ok i'll slow down on salt

I have a blanket policy of not even asking coworkers out for a date or w/e but I'm controversially considering changing that stance despite the current climate

salt is good, eat lots of salt imo

oh my god

Face facts

most people only get two options as they age: stay at a reasonable weight and slowly the facial plumpness of youth washes away with age and you look more skeletal, or you put on some well-earned weight and get a little pudgy in the jowls

sorry that's just how it goes

am i going to hit the wall hard in my thirties/forties?

magic 8 ball says, "Reply hazy. Try again."

Heath risks are associated with both high and low sodium intake, in a J-shaped curve, and arguably lowest overall in the 2.5-6 g intake range that most consume (avg American intake has been 3.5 g for decades). While all groups would benefit from lowering sodium intake below 6 g/d, intakes under 2.5 g/d benefit those at risk of hypertension while increasing risk for diabetes or congestive heart failure. We should probably pay more attention to increasing potassium intake, which effectively counters the hypertension and stroke risk associated with sodium.

135 pounds at age 18.

165 pounds at age 28

185 pounds at age 30

190+ now

when I hit 200, I am having my mouth sewn shut

I have decidedly plumpened in my 30s and 40s (from a scarily thin start). I am perhaps a quarter Irish, but I would say that marriage, prosperity, good food, and rivers of beer are as good an explanation as population genetics.

Neanderthal isn't telling us he's 6'6" though

I got fat in my early twenties I think it's an Anatolian thing

if I feel like I'm getting too heavy, I put down my meal and instead eat a nice tablespoon of salt

the salted banana diet craze is happening

xxxxpost lol mh, 6'0

"Anatolia" is one of those places I've got no idea where it's supposed to be, is it a German principality or something

turkey?

Ya I'm Turkish

ya flaps ease off on the salt

druids are meant to eat meats so i eat anything that bleeds

ive aslo been eating a banana a day forever just cuz im cool with potassium and so far so good

a beer a few times a week is the secret to the irishman's good health tho

turkish warriors raped like half of europe bro

the fact that they stepped foot in modern day england area is scary

ireland is doubtful im afraid

someone didn't read the article

Wow you find out I have eastern european forebears and you sure start throwing around some ugly words huh

xp

i never claimed to, smarty pants

“Maybe, it was just sexier to be a farmer,” she added.

message board populism

not yrs personally dmac

but im saying everyone was killing each other in order to grab lands and a consequence of this was a lot of pillaging, murdering and rape, and the turkish were one of the most fiercest warriors that were a huge threat to a big part of europe

i have read that while the turkish were successful in the eastern side their military degraded as they reached the british isles

disparaging darragh's sexy stewards-of-the-land ancestors as violent conquerors, unconscionable

well if u'd read the article you'd realize it was talking about farmers and not rape-happy conquerors

Wow so it was ok that the Turks....look I can't even @ u rn

mh just loves to twist my words around bc he thinks it is clever and/or funny

"everyone else was doing it"

"The Vikings started it"

lol dmac it's a little more complicated than that

farmers wld not have the capbility to travel such length in such vasts numbers

a lot of europeans have turkish dna but that is a product of how genetics/aleles work, so it is no surprise turkish dna is found in irish

it's like saying we come from africa

now this is a controp

"The Irish genetic sequences are much closer to the modern polar bear," said study researcher Daniel Bradley, of Trinity College Dublin. "As the climate has changed, what we are seeing is the tracking of that climatic change in the sequences in the bears." [Real or Fake? 8 Bizarre Hybrid Animals]

also in the link that dmac posted i wonder what is the sample size of those 85% of irish men

if anything it shows that sample has the same y chromosome, though i still stand by my theory (yes it's only a theory) that it was originally spread through other europeans (not directly via turkish farmers)

Irish ppl are Turkish polar bears, v interesting

Xp You fuckin oaf the farmers go out of knock regular on ryanair omg it's like talking to the wall

And the same hardy men regular come back with forrin wimmin tbh I'd say that's much more likely the DNA source

well then

polar bears it is

i lol'd

Kusadasi in the 80s that's yer anatolian gene pool right there and brought home because God help us Brigid was too good for a farm life by the time we had a bit of money

gonna stand by nemed and agnoman of scythia

were gonna have to agree to disagree here dmac

Point of order Dmac has posted in WDYLL threads many times and he is not even as large as an adult polar bear, leaving aside the matter of ursine facial features

Too kind (leaving aside the ursine features/

xp

dude

the article is comparing the irish brown bear to polar bears

I don't care if an Irish Turkish bearperson is brown, polar, green, purple I don't see color
