I was an AuDHD kid in the 90s. That specific word was thrown at me a lot by both adults and my peers, especially because I lose the ability to speak when I’m stressed/overstimulated. I guess it still hurts when I hear it or read it, and going off this thread that’s a “me” problem. Definitely regret posting my original comment

I don’t understand why this word has come back into common usage

Kissing bugs cause chagas, and they do look very similar

Persimmon can be blue, but that picture is edited and over-saturated. They’re darker and have a powder coat, like blueberries. Wouldn’t be surprised if the apple picture was also edited, but they can have pink flesh.

I take issue with using a phylogeny as evidence, because a phylogeny is a hypothesis. Or maybe I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m talking about lol

c/superbowl deserves to see this lol

Sandy clearly has the high ground

Found the cold-hearted Sandy downvoter!

This is my favorite part tbh. What a dweeb

I love that he’s wearing a plate carrier like a fashy dweeb. Especially because people just lobbed water balloons and silly string at his face

I have EDS and it definitely feels like this sometimes lol

“It’s kind of odd that the thing I get celebrated for the most - people are always like, ‘Wow, you’re a woman and you’re gay’ - are the two things I put the - least work into.”

I love this quote

The FDA is happy to regulate clothing, but has zero interest in regulating supplements. For the record, there’s plenty of evidence of these unregulated supplements causing actual illness and harm.

The safest way is probably to just take estrogen, fin and/or spiro. The much less safe way is to abuse anabolic steriods

I have an ex that did this well into his 20s,and convinced me to try it one night. I did not understand the appeal lol

Are you the weirdo checking the undersides of fern leaves for sporangia? (/j that weirdo might be me)

Not all articles that are peer-reviewed and given a doi are credible. Peer reviewers are directly contacted by the editor(s) of a journal, this can introduce bias. That journal, its current and past editor, and the sources of the opinion article have all been advised of bias.

I already had them tagged as “Richard Dawkins lover”, had to laugh when the article they posted had Dawkins as a source almost immediately.
