If you’ve seen pictures of people from cultures who don’t wear clothing that supports breasts, you can see the difference in shape that constantly fighting against gravity makes.

There are a lot of factors that can contribute to sagging, but bralessness doesn’t seem to be one. There are studies indicating that bras likely weaken breast tissue over time, making sagging more likely in people who wear them regularly. Of course, even those studies are tricky to generalize to the broader population because of how many factors there are to control for (breast size, pregnancies, tobacco use, genes, etc etc etc). What we do know is that the difference in breast shape from one whole ethnic group to another is largely attributable to genetics, and as for the photo: those women simply have very different bodies.

Interestingly, photos of African women have been used countless times throughout history to dishonestly market bras to fashionable Westerners. The image of African women who simply have a different body type from their own has frightened millions of white ladies into bras.

Do you shop at Trader Joe’s? Those compostable bags are next level

I can just see people trying this for the first time, knocking the foil out of alignment and pouring a whole pan of hot grease down the drain

This came up in an anti-racism group I belonged to many years ago, where I learned to try to be aware of my acceptance of whiteness as “default” or somehow raceless. I also learned not to jump in and center myself in conversations about how race is (or worse, should be) perceived by those negatively affected or sensitive to it—or at least I thought I learned that, but here I am about to press send.

I came away from that conversation with an understanding that while I may feel that my race is immaterial to my identity and my point of view, it is nonetheless a real component of the context of my attitudes and online presence, so it’s valuable to ask if there’s a reason I’d want to hide it.

On The Simpsons? Yeah, there are Black and brown characters.

It’s still true. It’s not that the majority of these people are actually thinking, “How can I make the world worse and make the greatest number of people’s lives bad?” Rather, they’re under the impression that others (probably you) are saying that, and worse, that Trump is somehow their best defense against it.

No matter how much you want that, getting over your ex won’t make you more attracted to your girlfriend/roommate. But there might be someone out there that you will feel strongly enough about that the ex problem will take care of itself.

I don’t know that the high prevalence of RGB items on the market necessarily reflects a love for it. I think it just means it’s cheap to produce and can be marketed as an extra feature.

There’s a wide distance between supervising a young child responsibly (which obviously must be done at all times) and engaging in play (which you should do when you can and you’ll be glad you did, but if you just don’t have it in you, it’s not a crime to sit quietly for a few minutes).

Not to promote violence, but I’m afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

You’re not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.

Wtf is “redneck agenda,” the farmers almanac?

Your question isn’t stupid, but it does make me feel very curious about what potential hypotheses you might have been weighing.

I’m having trouble interpreting the subject because of the competing scale of the foreground and background objects. I don’t know this artist’s work and I’m having trouble finding anything via Google, so I hope you won’t mind my asking, but is this meant to be surreal? Is there some statement intended about the tides washing away the remains of humanity? Are the graves already underwater? Or is this perhaps a more familiar sort of landscape in some other part of the world that I’ve simply never seen?

I figured the purpose was to warn us that these devices have been left plugged in while not in use, which is not advisable because they can become a fire hazard.

This is an extremely common thing to hear from a teacher the day after they return from an absence, indicating that your class’s behavior drove the poor substitute to leave the teacher a note so searing that it will go down in school history. Punishment follows.

The highlighted section of that link reads as follows:

The research found that putting the toilet lid down reduced the number of both visible and smaller droplets during and after flushing by 30-60%. However, use of the lid also increased the diameter and concentration of the bacteria in these droplets.

The article doesn’t indicate whether the total bacteria contained in the now larger and more concentrated droplets is thought to be comparable to that contained in the full spray of open-lid droplets, which means a precise comparison isn’t available, so technically I guess it could go either way. However, common sense tells us that many of those microorganisms will either get stuck to the underside of the lid or fall back into the water, so it seems nearly impossible that closed-lid flushing could spray 100% of the microorganisms that open-lid flushing does, right? So if the best (seemingly unlikely) scenario for open-lid flushing is that maybe it only sprays the exact same number of farticles into the air, then what’s the appeal?

Kel has also been a Nick staple as an adult for at least the past 10 years, so kids know him. And Paramount+ has All That and Kenan and Kel, giving younger audiences a chance to become familiar with them.
