My partner and I call it "maximum cozy", and it's a heated mattress pad, a set of polar fleece sheets, a quilt, and a duvet. We've just got baseboard heaters, and the windows are drafty, so heating the whole house just isn't possible.

Honestly, I think that shitty science reporting like this is fuel for the normie to science skeptic pipeline.

Yeah, I also feel like that's not a surprise to anybody that's had dogs.

Because the way chlorophyll is shaped at a molecular level, it acts like a filter. It lets red and blue light pass, but reflects green light.

I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I'm just being lazy.

I don't have a car, I don't have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.

Aluminum is the poster child for recycling, really. It takes more energy to extract it from the ore than it is to recycle it.

I'm in the middle of pulling a chat friend out of his programming. His only real problem was being raised in Texas by a Good Ol Boy single father, and once he got out from under his dad's wing, he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn't lining up with reality.

He started out as an incel, but now he's in therapy and has a girlfriend.

I think of it less as 'converting' and more just holding his hand while he figures out that his dad's advice was complete horseshit. It takes forever, and not everybody has the spoons to pull it off, but I do, so I will.

Honestly, 'patriarchy' is a terrible term that leads to so much confusion. Too many people use it as 'blame men' and forget that it's supposed to be about men being culturally cast as perfect leaders and therefore punished for not meeting those impossible standards.

I have high hopes that the spreading acceptance of transfolk will start to break down the weird gender roles we've got, and maybe we can talk about some of this stuff more directly.
