You’d need to explore the topic in further detail, as I’m sure the answer is there.

It may be dose dependent, but it may also be that a “splash” of milk might not impair absorption by much, but would anyone use just a splash of milk?

It’s one study of many showing this effect. I believe they suggest that the protein in milk is the culprit. The same effect applies to tea… Adding dairy to tea reduces its health benefits.

Considering that coffee is probably the highest source of antioxidants in a person’s diet, there will be some health benefits. Just dont add dairy milk to it, or it will blunt absorption. Soy milk is fine.

But if you’re an overweight, overworked, stress filled couch potato who doesn’t exercise and eats poorly, then you’re health is screwed regardless of how much coffee you drink 😂

Hear me out, but shouldn’t the slowest and more vulnerable citizens get the easier and most direct paths to destinations?

Cars don’t belong in cities. Let drivers decide if they want to take the long way, or the shorter/faster/easier way (i.e. public transportation, micromobility, cycling, etc.) That’s how other great cities solve this problem.

“Western culture”? 😂

And I heard in a public consultation meeting about bike lanes that… get this… Adding bike lanes would make it dangerous for kids to get to school.

What backwards universe did we wake up in?

Does America not have school buses anymore?

I’m in Canada, and yes, we do. In fact, the buses were having difficulty getting into the school’s parking lot because of the way the illegally parked cars were quite literally at the edge of the turn (leaving little space for the bus). It’s been sheer madness these past few weeks.

And it’s hilarious (not) when people put on their hazard lights to park illegally while they pick up their kid. I swear to the gods, if my municipality ever gave citizens the ability to write up parking tickets, I’d reduce our property taxes by 10% from the revenue I’d generate! 😄

For speeding, yes, you’re right. I was talking more about general inattentiveness, bad judgment, actual malicious driving behaviour, and poorly skilled drivers. No amount of infrastructure can correct that! LOL

Keep going. Every failed attempt makes him look like poor leadership material. Not that his words and actions make him out to be good or anything, but still. 😂

Graduating from school in Canada or the US is basically “Congratulations on surviving not being killed by guns or cars!”.

The way we design our roads psychologically encourages speeding.

I think most “major” roads are like that, but the school I have to get to is in a subdivision that isn’t busy. And people are still rolling through stop signs while looking at their phone. I think being in a car detaches people from the reality of what’s going on around them. Like playing a video game from behind a windshield.

It is not safe. At all.

That an area designed for our most vulnerable demographic is so dangerous that adults wouldn’t want to be in it says a lot about North American culture.

That’s honestly disgusting. Not only for the environment and public safety, but those missed opportunities to get some level of activity in your day are simply pissed away in a car.

Like, people are OK commuting by car for 1-3 hours a day… but a 20 or 30 minute walk with a dozen benfits? NO WAY!

I saw a teenager get hit crossing at a crosswalk in front of a school. Red light, driver in the left turn lane didn’t stop behind the line as the girl was crossing. She ended up on the hood and tossed.

I guess the only reason she wasn’t severely injured was that she was hit by a car and not a monster truck.

Traffic infraction bingo sounds like fun! /s

Mosquitos have entered the chat.

But really, pollinating insects have been extremely rare this past year. It’s alarming, and nobody seems to care.

It was about blackface, which you know very well. No-one has ever been offended by “whiteface”, because of what fucking happened in history.

Not all white people share the same history, man. If you think that any white person is the same as every white person, then you’re being a real racist.

Nazis brutalized my family, so fuck you for thinking I would ever be ok with som “white lives matter” cunts. You are an asshole.

My dude, I hate racists.

I also have a sense of humour, so stuff like comedy and costumes aren’t places where I tend to judge people. If I did, I’d think that most black and brown comedians were racist, and that most white ones were pedophiles or rapists. But I don’t.

My comment was in response to the question about people using <insert colour> face during that time, and it seemed to be more common than some of us can remember.

I don’t know anything about the guy in question, and it seems silly to judge him based on a basketball player costume he wore on Halloween almost 20 years go. We should use some common sense here.

Well, just a few years earlier than this guy’s black face, a movie called White Chicks came out… two black dudes playing white face in an entire Hollywood movie (coincidently, filmed in B.C).

I don’t ever recall outrage over it, though.

That said, I guess we’re lucky that our politicians are only playing black face during costume parties, rather than wearing white hoods during regular business hours! LOL

I think everyone is misunderstanding the “kids” part.

The daughter is a teacher, meaning she has “kids” (i.e. in her classroom), but not “real kids”, as in, kids of her own. A strange way of saying it, but I’m sure that’s what she meant.

The no real bills part… that could mean anything. If she’s living with her folks and doesn’t have to pay rent, utilities, etc., then I can understand how a request like that could be taken poorly by the mother.

Still, posting it on social media is Karen-like behaviour.
