It's Abby Pollock, she has a YouTube channel where she posts videos about good exercises for certain muscle groups, diet and recipe videos, and just overall fitness stuff. She does her research and approaches the topics scientifically, I recommend you check her out :)

Tbh with today's eco friendly vibes I think people might even be on board with "corpse recycling". I know I sure would be.
Why poison the soil with bodies full of embalming fluid and lacquered coffins when you can donate organs and then have a natural burial, all of which helps the Earth, can save lives, AND costs less money than a "regular" burial?

If you like this style, go watch some music videos by The HU. They're a Mongolian rock/metal band who use throat singing and traditional Mongolian instruments, they're great. And they dress in traditional clothing and biker jackets, it's an interesting style.

Very true. If you go above and beyond and are more capable than others, unless you ask for a raise, you will only ever get more work and more responsibilities.
Don't come to work sick, especially now but just don't, in general. You're just gonna feel like crap and nobody's gonna appreciate it. Once I went to work with a strep throat and a fever because none of my colleagues were willing to fill in for me, even though I knew for a fact one of them was free that day (we're part timers and we have to know each other's schedules to coordinate our shifts). I should've told the HR that but instead I took some pills and went to work. I won't make that mistake again.

The Salamander Prince. Or is it a tadpole? Idc I love it.
Seriously, thrift stores are the best, they have some of the most amazing stuff, hidden gems really. More people should be thrifting instead of buying fast fashion and cheap stuff made by Chinese kids imo

I always thought their size was much closer to cows, maybe slightly bigger. They're so huge. I love them. Fluffy boys.

True indeed. You can have a relatively stress-free life but still bad sleeping or other habits. Keeping yourself healthy is a part of that, for example. But in my experience you can't ever truly tune out the external factors, unfortunately.

Usually no, I sleep 6 hours a night because I have so much stuff to do for school and work, but recently this goth YouTuber I watch It's Black Friday made a new channel where she reads classical stories (usually by the Grimm brothers or Hans Christian Andersen) and her voice is so soothing it makes me fall asleep so quickly. The channel is called Dark Slumber btw in case you're into that sort of thing. I tried ASMR as well but even though it sounds super nice and I often get tingles, it doesn't make me fall asleep.

Sounds like you just don't have a lot of stress at work or in your life generally. Wish I had that privilege.

Or they're pointing to the same Bible verse that Us was referencing too (great movie btw). Jeremiah 11:11, "Therefore this is what the Lord says: I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them."
"Them" being the people of Gotham not caring about the mentally unwell such as Arthur, I guess.

Yeah as I said I think uniforms have their own pros and cons, especially when it comes to lower income families, because on the one hand no kid looks wealthy or poor which can reduce social ostracization among kids, on the other hand uniforms aren't cheap which can be a financial burden if you have to buy your kid a new one every year because they're still growing (unless they're subsidized by the school or state I guess). But in a sense, I understand uniforms more than dress codes with a bunch of weird rules about shoulders and elbows and whatnot, because at least uniforms are standardized, they exist as a sort of traditional garb (as well as to differentiate between different schools iirc?), and you don't have to spend time thinking what to wear. But telling kids "we're gonna send you home if we see your bare knees" is weird, it wastes the kids' time and just has no reason to exist.

"Girls are very interested in looks and fashion" is not a stereotyping statement? Quoting someone precisely makes one a liar. Didn't know that, huh.
Anyway you keep repeating the same things even though I just wrote I'm not complaining and even in a previous comment wrote I don't like wearing revealing clothing myself, and now you're making personal attacks and false accusations. When all I did was ask what education has to do with clothing, what's the causal relationship here. You were unable to answer and now you're saying you're defending your position just because you don't like some people who oppose it on a personal level. There's no intellectual integrity in your statements, but at least you're honest about it.
In conclusion, you have nothing substantive to say. I don't know who that girl is that you hate so much, but I'm guessing she's popular and wears skimpy clothing, otherwise you wouldn't be so hostile about it. But she could probably carry a better discussion than you.

Ok so one can't wear revealing clothing and be educated at the same time? That doesn't change my argument, please explain your logic because it seems there is none as of now.
You're the one who just stereotyped all girls as liking fashion and you're calling me sexist? Lol.
I also love the irony that girls who are forced to follow rules set up ONLY FOR THEM should shut up and bear it but boys who are made to follow the rules set for everyone should be pitied because it's "not designed for them". There are so many logical inconsistencies in your comments I could write a dissertation about them.
Also, not offended or complaining, just questioning why those rules are in place and whether they fulfill their desired effect at all, because it seems to me they don't. "Stop talking about it and follow the rules" is not a very good argument in their favor, mind you.

Besides, unless the school in question has uniforms (which have some pros and cons of their own which I won't get into now), wouldn't imposing these rules just make people spend more time choosing what to wear, because besides wanting to look good you also have to think about whether you'll get in trouble for wearing something because a tiny piece of your shoulder is visible? It seems absolutely counterproductive to any efforts to make kids more focused on education.

I don't see how wanting to look good at school intercepts your education in any way. There's literally no connection there. I hope you're aware that one can, in fact, look good and be educated at the same time?
Most of the work is done outside of school anyway, or at least the work that then reflects your results, ie. homework and studying for tests. Whether you spend that free time studying, shopping for clothes or playing video games or sports is totally irrelevant, your teachers can't do anything about that as long as your results are good.
In fact, girls have for a long time been achieving better results than boys at school, so clearly an interest in fashion (that all girls share apparently, yay stereotypes) has no effect.
If we restrict girls from wearing stuff they like to improve their results at school, should we also ban P.E. since it's a stereotypical boys' thing which may distract them?
Again, I see no connection here, but I'd like to hear what your logic behind it is.

School is a place for learning. How you dress is completely irrelevant to your education. Unless the school you go/went to teaches how to obey authority without ever questioning it. In which case I'm sorry for you, schools should teach critical thinking, not sheepishness. Sure, certain rules are necessary to establish order. But whether or not people can see your shoulders and knees has nothing to do with your or their education.
It's not such a big deal, but does that mean people can't discuss it at all? That's the same line of thinking as "You can't be sad, someone else has it worse" or "Shut up about sexism in the West, women in Iran have it worse."

What I'm trying to get at is, I wouldn't impose rules on clothing. I think it should stay in the "social consequences" category and not spill over to legal consequences. Those teens that show off because of peer pressure will figure it out on their own sooner or later, the more we restrict them without explaining it to them, the more time it will take for them to figure it out because they'll be following dumb rules without realizing why. (2/2)

On a personal level, I agree 100%. I prefer to wear modest clothing and don't feel comfortable "showing off", and I think especially among teen girls there can be pressure to show off which should be managed (not by forbidding them to wear clothes that reveal shoulders, but by better educating kids about self worth and such). That said, if someone does feel the most comfortable in fewer layers, maybe because they go to the gym a lot and want to show off their muscles, who are we to tell them to stop?
But I still might judge them, lol. That's human nature, we all judge each other. Yeah if I see a girl wearing a deep V and shorts that look more like thongs I'm gonna think she's probably compensating for something in her life. And if I learn someone is buying fast fashion made by Chinese kids in terrible conditions instead of ethical fashion or second hand, oh boy will I judge them hard. Where your clothes come from is more important to me than how they look. (1/2)

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, specifically the mortgage part. It's so weird that in order to just have a roof over your head, you either have to give up a chunk of your paycheck every month for rent or get a mortgage and be in debt until you're 50. I've been reading up on the tiny house movement as well as off-grid living and I really like that lifestyle. Idk, maybe I'll build a tiny off-grid mobile home in the future.

Idk I think it'd be nice for people not to be punished for wearing clothes they like. Y'know, freedom and all.
