i had a professor do something similar. a classmate's wife showed up with their baby girl because she had to go to the hospital to translate for her mom, and the baby wasn't vaccinated yet. he didn't know what to do about our next class, but i suggested we go talk to prof. he said "she's welcome in class on one condition. I get to hold her FIRST!" and picked her up to tell her what a cutie she was and how great her dad was doing in his class. in the 1st 5 min of that class, he said that since we clearly hadn't read all his class rules, he would remind now that he 100% will work with you whenever there's family or medical issue, big or small. you go to school to provide for your family better. if you can't take care of them when you need to, then what was the point. bring your kid to class, call in if you stay home sick with them (long before covid policies), schedule a make up exam, whatever you need.

I do the same in my class. The only exception is when one student started to change her kid's diaper ON THE DESK during class and I (politely) asked her to change the baby in the bathroom as poop is a biohazard....

OR, and I'm just saying, how about a welfare state that provides child care so that women don't have to attend classes with the distraction of a child?
Lyyyy 2 years ago
You said it, but not always this is the case. I live in a country that gives up to a year of paid leave and gives support to those that choose so stay with the child at home up until they’re three years old. I did my masters thesis when baby was 2-6 months old. My husband then cared for baby when she was 6-12 months old. It was convenient for me to do the thesis then so it wouldn’t interfere with my real work. We don’t want to be pushed aside in the society. Icelandic MP gave speech in the parliament to her fellow MPs and television cameras while breastfeeding her baby.

I don't see why it wouldn't be unpopular. Race and colour *does* exist, and yes, some humans might tend to naturally feel more comfortable with people who look more like them.

When i see stuff like that about kids i aways think the writers have bad memory. I mean, have you ever been a kid? They are the most selfish, cruel, jerk bullies. They crush anyone who is different in any possible form, and have to be thought otherwise. Or maybe my experiences were just worse than most, and these people don't have kids.
Got Myself 4 Pandas 2 years ago
Oh no doubt kids can be horrible, but not when they're little - they may say things that come across as hurtful but it's just them being honest - pointing out someone is maybe fat, or bald, or has a big nose - it's just what they see. The nasty, cruel behaviour that follows later is very much learned through so many different places. My oldest kid I had to ban from the bloody Disney channel, watching the tv shows on that gave her such an attitude that she copied from the characters, it was pretty eye opening! Then there's the mob mentality of it all. My kids have, thankfully, all stayed mostly very kind people. I've always taught them being nice to people is important, but not all parents are nice people to or around their kids, which creates mean kids, it's all they know.

Kids are innocent and just accept what is - they ask simple questions and accept the answer. I remember my oldest asking why a kid had brown skin when she was in nursery and I just explained people can look different, just like people have different eye colours, hair colour etc that peoples skin are different colours too and comes from who they're related to. That's was that. Same when I was a kid, I remember finding out some things were actually derogatory names for certain races and I was absolutely disgusted and I haven't uttered the words since finding out. It never made sense to me that physical differences should make any difference as to how you feel about someone. My simple mantra in life is don't be a d**k, if folk are nice then I like them, if they're not I don't like them, but I'm still nice to them because I am not a d**k. Simple

When I was a little kid we had one black (as in African black, not Aboriginal black) kid in my class (thanks to super racist immigration policies in Australia at that time, this was not unusual). I remember very clearly what my reaction to seeing him was, and it was curiosity. That's all. Curiosity and interest because he looked different, before I got used to it and stopped noticing. He ended up becoming popular because he was the fastest runner in our class, and I don't remember anyone ever giving him a hard time for being black.

We have come a long way since the early 90s, when HIV was more or less a certain death sentence. The 90s AIDS scare was for a reason.

It continues to be a huge problem in countries were people do not have access to proper medical care, so a vaccine really could be a gamechanger.

It would be great if they at least mentioned the name of the study. This statement that the trial agent "proves successful in 97% of the participants" is strange for a Phase 1 study, which looks primarily at safety and mechanisms for administering the therapy (oral, intravenous, etc). This is the domain I work in, and I have not heard of this so-called "landmark HIV vaccine study". It makes me wonder if someone confused the old data from PrEP trials. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) does have an efficacy rate of between 93% and 99% in preventing infection with HIV when taken as directed. But it is not a vaccine; you must continue to take PrEP daily throughout the time you are at risk for acquiring HIV. You can find the latest information about HIV vaccine trials at the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (https://www.hvtn.org), and learn more about PrEP at https://tinyurl.com/PrEPUSA or https://tinyurl.com/PrepEurope

The timeline of repayment quoted here is misleading. Whilst the initial cost of £20m in 1833 was colossal at the time (equivalent to £155billion today) it did not take until 2014 to repay. The reason this urban myth exists is the outstanding debt in the early 20th century was merged with a new debt, which in turn was merged with subsequent new debts. This meant the original debt was constantly being diluted abd the repayment schedule extended. The loan in question was not officially marked as cleared until 2014. But, in real terms 99% of it it was repaid by the 1920s. It was not a case of the loan being so large it too nearly 200yrs to repay.

For those who think paying off the slave owners and holding to a moral absolute about the subject would have been better: had they not been paid, the slaveholders would have violently revolted, and many probably would have killed their slaves rather than free them. And new law or no new law, they would have had the ability to do so. And the government would not have had the wherewithal to hold them accountable for it in the middle of riots and revolts. Paying them off saved lives.

No drama there, though. It was just the time for Finlands parliamentary elections. We elected another party as the biggest party, and the rule is, that the prime minister comes from that party. Sanna Marins party actually increased their support%, but another party inreased their support more, becoming the biggest party. Finland has multiple parties, so this is common. Another characteristic in Finnish political field is that the parties in government typically lose support while parties in opposition taise their support in the next elections. Actually as of now Sanna Marins government is still working as the caretaker government, so Marin is still the caretaker prime minister until the next government is ready to take on the responsibility. What she really resigned from is from being the leader of her party, because she was exhausted from her Prime minister term, and wanted to do something else. She is still a regular member of the parliament and highly popular.

Littering while hiking is such a stupid thing, it weighs less once you have consumed the product / drink so take it home!
RP 2 years ago
It is not nessessarily litter in the city sense. A lot of it is air tanks that are empty or gear that is dropped to reduce weight. And then there are the bodies. None of this is ok, but it a little different from what a person with non-hiking interests might assume

The deposit will also not be refunded if the corpse of a group member stays up there, as that is considered littering as well

Umm misleading, it's just a fresh stalk of bamboo, they grow up in a matter of days/weeks.
Sherman 2 years ago
I have bamboo growing in pots in my yard (non invasive) & I planted it right before covid it grew 3 feet in only 2 months. Some types of bamboo, when cared for properly can grow. Over a foot in a month. Idk what kind this is. But its absolutely possible. Bamboo grows & spreads insanely fast. Even my lucky bamboo inside grew to 5 feet tall in less than a year. Proper fertilizer, rich soil, the right lighting & the lack of human intervention will have a huge affect on how plants grow. A sunflower can grow to 6 feet in a matter of weeks. Why can't bamboo?

I just find the whole thing of fathers walking their daughters down the aisle so weird. It's like "I used to own her but I'm giving her to you now". Outdated and creepy.
Lakota Wolf 2 years ago (edited)
My father had an accident when I was 18 that resulted in a catastrophic brain injury. He was bedridden, in a near-vegetative state for over two decades. He died in 2021. Do you know what I would have GIVEN just for the CHANCE to have had my father walk me down the aisle? ANYTHING. Giving your daughter away is a tradition that no longer means "I own this female but I am now giving her to you to own, groom." It's not the 1800s any more. Now for some people, it's just a lovely tradition to honor your father. I would have been honored to have had my father, whom I loved dearly, to walk me down the aisle. He never treated me as a "possession".

4 months... I am honestly not sure how I feel about this. Nice for the children to live, but the woman being solely an incubator... I guess I can understand not wanting to lose them too. But how about allowing someone to die? Really not sure - yes, lives were saved, but is it respectful to the dying/braindead woman? Is it ethical?
LK 2 years ago
I'm happy with this situation. The mother was going to die, however, by delaying her death by 4 months, her children were able to live. It was a choice between three deaths, or just the one. There has been some talk about using the wombs of comatosed or brain dead patients and implanting them with fertilised eggs. This is incredibly different from allowing a mother to protect and nurture her own babies until they were able to survive.

I wonder if there was paperwork stating the woman's preferences. Maybe she knew she was going to die and specifically asked to be kept alive until her babies were born?
Lakota Wolf 2 years ago
So they should have discontinued life support and just let two healthy fetuses die? Deprive the husband of his wife AND his unborn children in one fell swoop? Do you think the woman, if she had not been injured, would be okay with that? I'm pro-choice and I don't even consider unborn fetuses as "people" the way that pro-life people do, but I still think that it was the right decision to allow these fetuses the chance to be born. Their mother was already "gone"... her body was there, but her mind and "soul" was already gone. There's nothing "icky" about this - the woman was not coerced or forced or abused. The doctors gave her exquisite care, and even sung and played music in her hospital bed in order to "show" the unborn babies that they were loved.
