I got a job (yay!) tutoring athletes at my school. I’m currently tutoring only one student and getting him to do ANY prep prior to our tutoring session is like pulling teeth. I’ve sent three emails since yesterday reminding him to send me the links to the articles his professor has provided for the chapter and to also read the articles and go over vocab before we meet. Crickets. Any tips on how i can motivate him to actually do some work so I’m not screaming into the void?

Tell him that without your help, he’ll do poorly and not play. Ask him what happens to him after his sports career ends, and how long he thinks that will take. What skills or mental conditioning will he have.

It’s easy to feel immortal when humans are young. None of them believe thee is an end. Remind him that thee is.

everyone who responds to criticism of capitalism with “you’re mad because you’re jealous of rich people” is bootlicking level 100

No it’s because socialism and communism are proven failures and capitalism has the highest chance of bringing poor out of poverty by giving opportunities. It’s not the fault of capitalism if those same people opt to whine and complain instead of reaching for the top.

However globalist elitists are perfectly fine disenfranchising poor people in their wealthy countries in favor of people elsewhere. Thus causing the problems we see. So no it’s not the rich being greedy it’s the jobs being sent for cheap labor.

Fuck how has western society become so dumb and complacent

“Single dominant daddy in search of a babygirl to take care of and play with. Also into age gap with me being older. 36”

So you’re a pedophile. Okay get off my post

He’s also wrong. Job outsourcing does pose a problem, but only because US law mandates that publicly owned companies must pirsus profits for shareholders. The problem is the source: trading on speculation and hedge funds, gambling, essentially, and corruption of regulatory bodies like the government in favor of corporate interest. With that oversight or lack thereof, capitalism Fails too.

Capitalism fails too, if you do it wrong. Same as anything else, which should be obvious.

So yes. He’s wrong.

And he’s also a pedophile.

So some dude got sent to the hospital with cyanide poisoning because he was eating cherries and decided, for some fucking reason, to crack the pits open and eat the meat inside.

“I didn’t think nothin’ of it. Thought it was just a seed.” 

“Deep breath”

I SWEAR TO THE FUCKIN GODS…..

(cue 25 minutes of unintelligible yelling)

….and that is why being separated from our food’s origins and not knowing anything about botany is what is wrong with the world today goddamnit. 

I bet some people would eat castor beans too. Or yew. Or just fuckin’ snack on some hemlock because it’s natural, man. 

Fucking incredible. 

LIKE IT TAKES SOME FUCKING EFFORT TO GET A CHERRY PIT OPEN FUCKING W H Y

Question: Is it the same with plums? I used to do that occasionally when I ate dried and seasoned Asian plums as a kid.

Yes. 

Plum pits do not contain as much as cherry, but they do. 

Do not eat stone fruit pits, people. Or bitter almonds. 

They all have cyanide in them. 

Oh boy, apricot kernels. The amount of people I see lauding those as a “cure for cancer” is… demoralizing. I can’t find it right now but I believe there was a mother in the past few years who was taken to court for child endangerment/neglect for feeding those to her very young child as a cancer treatment.

I saw this horror last year, and yelled for an entire hour. 

To be fair, I bet if you die of cyanide poisoning the cancer won’t kill you. 

I have been wanting to use these photos for months.

The recommendation is to only eat 3 in one hour. because that is just the most filling snack and of course they will stop at three.

But then they say DON’T EAT MORE THEN 10 A DAY.

It’s not even FDA approved. “may be toxic”.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Just because it’s food for another creature doesn’t mean it’s fine for you.

Best case scenario it’s like grass which is basically neutral- it’s generally not going to kill you but there’s no nutrition for humans in it, and enough will probably make you sick.

Worst case scenario it’s something like belladonna berries which taste sweet but will kill you stone cold dead.

Same for the wrong kind of mushrooms, other berries, leaves and barks. Before consuming, CHECK. If you can’t check, don’t put it in your mouth.

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

I’ve been saying this for so long, oh my gosh.

^^As a toxicologist, I approve this message.

Friendly reminder that the laws on supplement labeling in the US are super lax and haven’t been updated since 1994. That’s nearly 25 years ago!

Oh hey, forgot to mention I tweeted @ apricotpower on twitter about how their product is poison and they blocked me.   You should all tweet at them too.

Proof the FDA is a ridiculous and corrupt organization. Allowing things that are known toxins to be eaten in grocery stores. What stupidity.

Well…

At least some of you now know how to kill someone you hate.

Hey, do you know that feeling of hitching up a long skirt so you don’t fall on your face when walking upstairs, and then you immediately become a wretched yet resolute Jane Austen character? It’s a universal thing, right?

It’s like resting a laundry basket against your hip and suddenly you’re a long-suffering peasant woman, wondering if you’ll survive the winter.

a shawl wrapped around the shoulders and you’re wandering the moors in a Brönte novel, feeling melancholic

Looking out the window at the rain and you’re a love-stricken newlywed wondering when your husband will return from the war.

Long skirt billowing behind you while to go down the stairs, you’re a proper Lady in a flowing ball gown being introduced at a fancy social function.

Hair blowing in the wind and suddenly you’re hovering on a cliff by the sea, staring out into the waves and praying your merchant husband will return from his voyage across the ocean

Hood up against the rain and wind and you’re a medieval abbess defying the weather and travelling on foot with your people to find a place to establish a new community.

Wiping your hands on your apron and you’re an 18th century kitchen girl rushing to let in the delivery boy you secretly love.

Accurate AF

I couldn’t love this post any more

On your knees wiping up spilled soda on the carpet and suddenly you’re a medieval house maid preserving your modesty from the drunken nobleman who purposely spilled it to gloat as you crawl at his feet.

What do y’all think about modern wedding cakes? I made this beauty for a modern wedding at a warehouse. It’s half strawberry rose (vanilla bean cake soaked in fresh strawberry purée simple syrup with fresh strawberry filling and rose water buttercream) decor is wafer paper and fondant.

Stunning
