Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 35 Facts That Are 100% True

What's sad to me is that it is clear many people who claim to be Christians have never actually read and thought about the teachings in the Gospels. Yes, we are all flawed human beings. I am deeply flawed. But if you don't try care about each and every person as they are, where they are, and express that in your actions, I am not sure you know God at all. Saving (and judging) the world is God's job. Treating each other with kindness, respect, and love is ours.

Yes! Let's normalize not having kids.

Research shows you can induce fibromyalgia in mice by injecting them with IGg from humans with fibromyalgia. Sucks for the poor mice being used in research, but demonstrates the realness, for want of a better word, of chronic pain conditions. https://www.jci.org/articles/view/144201 Because there is a different pain mechanism at work than in acute pain it doesn’t respond well to medication like opioids. Opioids can actually increase the amount of pain you experience. Source current pain science and lived experience of going from ridiculous amounts of morphine to just paracetamol for my pain and the level of pain being 99% the same.

America is not the only country that does this, not by a long shot.

That's because biological women are rarely part of any medical studies. The vast majority of medical testing is done on males. The reason for that is pregnancy. The risk of being pregnant is a high risk for additional damage. Do they get left out. Sometimes even in studies that concern majorly biological women. The pain threshold and reaction to medication is hugely different between biological males and biological females. They have different bone density and different metabolism. That's why often the doses of medications are too small for women. The studies are made with men, the dosage was tested on men, but a biological male of the same weight and height than a woman has a smaller percentage of fat in the body (to just name one of the many factors that impact the function of medicine) and thus for need less medication to treat their issues. So then the women get the dosage that would work for a boy, but is useless for them. But when a man comes, they get what they need.

Everyone should read 1984. Sometimes it feels as if someone is using it as a blueprint

Mine is fabulous at remembering embarrassing incidents, particularly as I’m trying to get to sleep?

Having lost 150 lbs and watching my job improve, my friendships sharpen and being treated with kindness by strangers was MIND. BLOWING.

Actually, falling in love with someone while I still loathed myself ended up saving my life. Regardless of my education, success, perceived attractiveness, etc - I just did not find value in my life. I fell in love with someone I met during some of the darkest months of my life. They had "something" about them that I just wanted to be around. Instead of focusing on "my loser life", I focused on being around them and the feeling of joy I felt. They apparently fell in love with me too and FORCED ME TO SEE everything they saw in and loved about me. Within 2 years, I flipped from "why am I even alive" to "thank God I'm alive to feel this loved".

Also, how you're treated by your parents. My sister had unconditional love and was never psychologically, emotionally, or sexually abused. Never gaslighted, always believed (even when she lied), and always always supported. I was sexually abused, constantly told I wasn't good enough and would never amount to anything, told I was miserable, and told I was too sensitive, among so many other things. The fact that I haven't offed myself is because I have extraordinary friends and a brother who has always had my back. And I have pets. How you're raised 100% impacts your level of success.

The very First incidence of planned obsolescence was the light bulb.

Sadly true.

Research has changed a lot even in the last 7 years because autistic people are connecting online and sharing feedback to conclusions of studies or disputing earlier assumptions made by people in the field. There's also many ASD people becoming involved in research themselves. I think some of the fascinating things I've seen lately is the challenge to the idea that autistic people lack empathy. Many of them are hyper empathetic. Or the challenge to the idea that autism is fundamentally about social deficits, when it's really more of a difference between how autistic people and neurotypical people socialize. And despite the Sheldon Cooper stereotype, many many people who have what used to be called Aspergers are wickedly funny and have a fantastic sense of humor. Also anecdotally the majority of people I've met irl or online who have ASD are not A-holes. That's not a default trait.

Isn't this serendipity - I'm a 39F with adhd diagnosis at 19. My counselor & close friend hinted that perhaps I want to research females with ASD. Yes, just like you said I thought 'Rain Man?' I began looking into it 48 hrs ago & I'm no doctor, but I certainly wish someone would have suggested it before I was 39! Bc this is most certainly me & I'm a business owner & lawyer. There's absolutely NO WAY she could have ASD.. right?

I realised as an adult and had diagnostic confirmation. It was hard the years undiagnosed. But it's good to know now, life has been so much better since.

One size does not fit all. There are so many different sides to autism

I just remind folks it's a "spectrum". Some folks act like rain man, yes. But some do not.

I am not autistic but I am really glad people are feeling more comfortable telling others of their conditions. My primary mode of communication is sarcasm. During a benign miscommunication, a girl at my gym told me that due to her autism, she doesn't pick up on sarcasm. Now I know how to properly communicate with her. Now I wonder how many people I have inadvertently confused, pissed off or made feel bad because I didn't understand how to properly communicate with them.

I’m an old woman. Never ever did I meet a child with autism or ADHD. Nor did any girls wanted to be boys and Visa versa . Think what happened after the 1950 ‘s. Wake up!

Often wondered if autism is an advanced state of future humans ?

"You're not autistic." from many of my friends.

People out there thinking they are tougher than the sun.

To be fair though, being cold stresses your body and makes it more vulnerable; less able to fight off bugs. So, there is a connection.

I really don't know what it would take for deniers to believe climate change is real.

100% true. I have first hand knowledge that you can lie on them

The foundation stone for all conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and flat earthers

Coincidentally today, June 25, is the anniversary of the 1908 founding of Ajinomoto Co., Inc., based on the discovery and manufacturing of MSG (which, like fortune cookies, is Japanese not Chinese in origin)

But without the little people they would have no power. They care but not in a way that is good for you.

What, they genuinely didn't believe you? Do these people not even have TVs? Or is David Attenborough too highbrow for them?

The Amazing Randi, a magician who debunked paranormal abilities, had a trust of one million dollars, to go to the first person who could prove their abilities. Many tries. They failed. Sylvia Browne promised several times to take the challenge, but never did.

I DID think 50 was old. And if you look at pics of back in the day, people were old at 50/60. Pretending modern medicine/safety/regulations has had no effect on the life expectancy is delusional. SOME people DID live till 80, but not nearly as many as today. And the ones who were dying at 60 were OLD

In Canada, so you'll never meet her.

What about thoughts and prayers?!

Disagree. There are quite a lot of things that can happen to someone else that absolutely cannot happen to me. I will never starve to death in Yemen. I will never be shot on the front line of the war in Ukraine. I will never die in childbirth, inject heroin, move to Las Vegas, be knighted, win an Oscar...

I've always liked the pithy statement "Remember the Golden Rule. Whoever has the gold makes the rules."

And those long a*s fighting sequences are absolute c**p. Nobody takes that many hits to the head, kidneys, ribs, etc and keeps on standing.

There are four main types of sugar - fructose, lactose, sucrose and glucose. Each has their own issues.

Politicians need enemies to divert attention from the real issues and to justify the budget. Up untill the 90's it was 'the Russians', then it was 'the terrorists' ,now it's 'the Chinese'

If shaving made hair grow back thicker then shaving would be a cure for baldness.

wait- so the time my friends stacked 4 draw 4s on me was illegal??!?

While recovering from my hysterectomy in prison, I was in the hospital section. I'd been in prison about eight years then. A nurse said he was surprised I was still locked up. I told him I still had a few years to go, then I said, "But I deserved what I got." He said that in all his years working there, he's never heard anyone say that before.

I could not enjoy $1 of that million knowing I had caused 10 people to lose their lives

Another aspect of this is blindness against the sufferings of other groups. Sometimes people even hurt other groups to push their agenda. Example: extremist trans groups demanding that the term biological women is transphobic. No it's not. Biological women and men are different. Just like any female of any given species is different from any given male specimen of the same species. They have different organs, different bodies and different metabolism and many more biological differences. That's common knowledge and it's proven to be true again and again. Normal trans people know that too and would never demand that this gets ignored or call people transphobic for simply stating biological facts like women have a womb, trans woman don't. They just want to live their life in peace. Live and let live. But the extremists in their echo chamber truly try to fight that simple fact because they simply don't like it. No matter that bio women have it hard enough to get proper medical treatment.

Shark attacks on fish however, not so rare. Lol

Sugar has a particular set of skills.

Statistical explanations are inherently difficult for non-statisticians to get their heads around, and most statisticians I worked with over the years (when I was a Stats software developer) were really bad at explaining it, so this is not surprising. Witness the number of news articles with sentences like "the study results while not statistically significant, show...". No. They don't. Not statistically significant means that we cannot be confident that the observed results have any meaning at all, but could just be completely random.

"I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."

Ummm... people don't think Australia is real? Serious?

But it can be fun and taste nice, so…..
