I feel like Spotify's recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I've found in music comms on Lemmy

I remember having BMI tests before training and once in boot camp, but not after I got to my first duty station. I was quite underweight when I was serving, but that was so long ago that I assumed they'd moved on to a better standard by now lol

It sounds like dipshit thinks BMI is a good standard for fitness measurement

My ornithology professor was absolutely livid when she learned I joked around in the "birds aren't real" subreddit. Apparently people really took it seriously that birds are government drones, and illegally kill them. She even cited a case that was local to us where a man was killing harriers and owls due to paranoia

California did sue

Gavin absolute does love the drama and being in the news too, though

The bottom one is in Dutch

Aurelius Augustinus Belijdenissen

I assume the first one is too, but having a hard time making it out

Edit: top one is Mis En Vesperboek

The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

I have a 9 foot cat tower that is tensioned into place against the ceiling. My 14 pound cat flies on and off it like the floor is lava, and it hasn't budged yet

I'm aware of that. I am not sure why you told me to watch that video when I was trying to figure out why they chose folinic acid supplements specifically. Because folic acid and folinic acid can really make people with MTHFR deficiency sick, and for some it also worsens their autism symptoms.

My brain doesn't handle videos very well, what's the summary?

I think this is based on poor understanding of genetics. A lot of neurodivergent people have mutations in a gene (MTHFR) that deals with processing folate, but that doesn't mean they have reduced folate by itself. But, taking folic acid if you have decreased ability to process it can actually cause health problems. I'm not sure what the difference is for folinic acid, but this just all sounds very pharma-bro and unscientific to me
