And while I recognize that her circumstance is not representative of the whole of people, you should recognize that people who do not know better will take the advise of strangers on the internet over their doctor if it's what they want to hear.

Again: because substances that are truly poison are not classified as food.
Also, while exclusions are not the common rule, a lot of people have at least one exception here.
Also, as previously mentioned: only caring about calories is very dangerous. Even if you eat a variety of nutritionally empty foods, you are still likely to get sick. And promoting that there are no bad foods and you shouldn't worry about it is bad.
Lots of people are not educated enough to know that "overdosing on anything is bad" does not mean live on 16 different kinds of chips and 10 different candy bars. I know that sounds obvious to some of us who realize that fundamentally you are trying to survive almost exclusively off corn flour and corn syrup, but not everyone understands this.
I literally work with a woman who struggles to understand that measuring her carbohydrate high foods does not mean she gets a pass, she still needs to limit her total carbohydrates. She is diabetic.

While I agree with the notion, not all schools have the funding to present power points easily.
Also, it's not always a bad thing to force the class to slow down a bit, it will help give students the change to take better notes.

These stores tend to be really useful for "I'm out of milk/eggs/sugar/common food item. It's okay, they sell that at [local supermarket]." kind of situations. However they often don't stock the variety of options that larger stores have, so it's not uncommon to do your weekly shopping trip 20-30 min away in a larger town.

Or at least a small store. But yeah, it's easy to influence super market sales in a small town. Especially when the town has 1 store and most people do their main shopping a town over.

Advertisements which are directed at people with disabilities specifically often don't actually go over that well. People want to buy products that help them, but they don't always want to buy products that make them feel limited by their disability.
I have worked with a woman who refuses to use her walker half the time out of pride. She has fallen and hurt herself many times.
But when the product is marketed as convenient, that just sits in your head differently.

I don't know, I think that's only true if you have things you value that are also monetarily valuable. Usually things like family heirlooms and keepsakes go to the person who brought them into the marriage.
The real loss usually comes from splitting up the things you acquire together. And I think that may elude to a higher level of trust than a legal document. I would say building a life based on the mutual understanding that it requires two parties with someone who can walk away from it and leave you struggling to build something workable from the wreckage is a higher form of trust than signing a legal document.
On the other hand, prenuptial agreements can actually protect you some from things going sour with your life partner. You will still definitely lose for the split, but you'll have the legal right to keep whatever the two of you agreed upon when you started.

Yeah, that too. But I meant only assuming the closest relative anyone breeds with is related as like ones 4th cousin, people still resemble each other. I mean, this is literally what causes people to look like a nationality.

Except you can die from eating poorly. Sure it's a lot easier to live with a poor diet, but first of all, a serious enough deficiency will still kill you if you do nothing about it. Secondly, declines to your health due to poor eating may not kill you outright. but they can easily make you weaker, allowing you to die from something that shouldn't have killed you, like the flu. Lastly, only because truly toxic material isn't classified as food. There are plenty of toxic plants that resemble food, and plenty of toxic chemicals that taste like food, none of which are classified as food, because they are toxic to humans.
Also, relatedly: Some people CANNOT eat certain foods or they will DIE. Mostly we think of allergies here. Which, yeah, definitely. But also things like celiac disease. And well a spike in your blood sugar has to be pretty severe to die, and even pure sugar is okay in extreme moderation, diabetics are often better off avoiding certain foods entirely.

Yes.
However highchairs can be a little more complicated. Ideally if you child can get themselves out of the high chair its probably time for a booster seat. However I know a three year old whose family barely has table space with her in the high chair. It's a lot of people in a small house, financial resources say it's going to stay that way for at least a few months. Probably a year or two. The three year old can climb out of her high chair, onto another chair and then to the ground. She is perfectly fine doing so. Obviously at some point she is going to be too big for the high chair, but right now it's a place she has space to eat, she is safe climbing in and out of it, and the dogs can't get to her food.
I was over for dinner one day, sitting in the chair next to her high chair. This child decided she was done, stood up in the highchair, climbed into my chair behind me, and then climbed over the arm of the chair onto the ground. I was clearly not an obstacle to her.

As someone who only wants the whites, being able to boil all whites in these would actually be really nice.

I agree that people who take pets into their lives should 100% be allowed to call themselves "pet parents " and their pet "daughter(or son)" However I don't think people should say it's the same as being the mother to a human child because it is not. Human children require far more extensive care especially in the early years. Having a child is also a (min 18 year) lifetime commitment. Animals simply aren't going to outlive you most of the time. It's not the same.

Sword and the Stone actually has potential rebotability. Its biggest problem was that the kid has no personality whatsoever. That's the kind of thing you can fix in a rebot without really pissing everyone off.

Are bandaids supposed to be skin colored? They are always to dark to match my skin, and honestly I'd never even considered they were supposed to blend in. I always just thought bandaids were either fun kid colors or boring adult color, for professionalism or whatever.

...it as a kid. I have a slightly shorter, wider nose. Never broke it, so it's pretty straight. My skin is slightly less fair, and has red splotches from a genetic skin condition(my dad and brother and I have it, my mom and sister do not). My hair is brown, but much lighter than hers is.
What is even crazier is how much she and our brother don't look alike. My brother has light light brown hair, the same skin condition I do, his eyes are a bit wider and blue (my sisters are dark brown, mine are green). The two have them have been asked if they are dating. To which they always awkwardly tell people "No, we are siblings."
The point is, siblings sometimes look really really similar or vastly vastly different regardless of if they share a birthday.

Not really. Only if you look exactly alike.
I have cousins who are twins who look like they might be related, but definitely don't look exactly alike. They aren't identical twins, they aren't anymore genetically similar than any sisters would be.
As for outside of identical twins, it really varies.
My friend has a kid sister who looks so much like she did at the same age. I often struggle to know who is in old photographs if one one of the siblings is in it (they are five years apart and have brothers, so it is easy to tell who it must be if there is two of the kids in the photo). If they were closer in age I'm sure people would ask if they were twins. Honestly when they are old enough people might ask anyway if the pattern continues. Five years is just a pretty big gap.
Meanwhile my sister and I don't even look like sisters. She is much thinner than I am, has dark dark hair and fairer skin than I have. Her nose is narrow and just a bit crooked from when she fractured...

The people who look similar to use probably also live close to you. I have no idea if the post is correct, but, especially if you live in a place where people don't move in or out often, there is a good chance you sort of resemble your neighbors. And if you live in a country where people don't move in or out often, there is a good chance most people you meet have some common traits. Obviously this will be less true for large metropolitan melting cities, but for countries with little immigrants and towns that have been existing off ruffly the same gene pool for the last several generations, you are going to find people who look similar near you, increasing the likelihood that you will meet them.

No one died. And eventually everyone I knew recovered fairly well. I know everyone in the other car survived, but I don't know anything about the extent of their injuries.
Everyone was completely sober, just tired. The only people who got drunk, rode in the other car and were dropped off 10 min into the ride. My friend had no idea she was too tired to drive until she woke up in an accident.
People be careful. Avoid driving tired, and if you have to, have others help you stay away and focused.

Also, if it's late and everyone is running off little sleep, don't sleep in a car. Keep conversation going and help each other say awake and help the driver stay focused.
Some of my friends carpooled to a club one night in two vehicles. The vehicle I was in dropped two people off at home, and then made it's way home with the driver and myself talking all the way back.
The other car had 4 people in it for most of the drive. (We were an hour from home, 6 people lived in same town, 2 people lived about 10 min from club). All three passengers feel asleep. The drive fell asleep at the wheel. A head on collision left all four people, as well as three people in another car hospitalized. Driver and her front passenger broke there legs very badly. One passenger broke her ankle. Our smallest friend [Who was an adult, in the backseat, with his seatbelt on correctly] suffered severe internal damage to his chest and doctors didn't believe he would survive when they got to him.

I mean, that's literally half the reason for the NSFW filter. Share your spoilers BEHIND FILTERS, use titles that warn us of spoilers. That way those of us who really can't stand spoilers (because seriously, even if I will like a movie even with spoilers, I like it a lot better without them) don't see them on accident.
Yes. The posts asking for lack of spoilers are actually annoying. But they wouldn't be here if people had a history of keeping spoilers behind filters with warning in titles.

If someone likes the same kinds of movies I like and they tell me they liked it it raises my expectations of the movie, even if I don't want it to. This often makes the movie less enjoyable, especially if the movie isn't as good as I end up expecting.
