Considering how much meat is required to keep a lion fed per day, part of me thinks feeding it to lions would be sensible but on the other side it depends on making sure the meat is cleaned and that the animal that died didn’t die of a cause that would cause internal damage to the lion. Lions on the Serengeti feed on freshly caught food so their catch is usually pretty clean.

The researchers analyzed 229 mother-child pairs, calculating fluoride exposure from urine samples collected during the third trimester of pregnancy. Most urine samples were collected from fasting women, which improves the accuracy of chemical testing. Children were then assessed at age three using the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist, which uses parent reports to measure a child’s social and emotional functioning.

Children exposed to an additional 0.68 milligrams per liter of fluoride in the womb were 1.83 times more likely to show behavioral problems considered to be clinically significant or borderline clinically significant. Specifically, children exposed to more fluoride had more problems with emotional reactivity, somatic complaints (such as headaches and stomachaches), anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.

No association was found with several other neurobehavioral symptoms, including “externalizing behaviors” such as aggression and attention problems.

Hmm, they are using a statistic as their study and parental reporting… what with PFOAs, pthalates, microplastics and parabens already present in water linked as endocrine disrupters I wonder how that plays over top of all of this fluoride as well.

It depends on why you’re in the games and what is going on with your life.

It can be an escape

It can be a break

It can be an outlet

It can just be for fun

It can be an exercise for the brain

But if it’s not providing any of that maybe that’s not what you need right now. It can also be a thing you need the escape/break from.

It’s just a thing for spending time without productivity so walking away from it isn’t a big drama. It’s going to be there later when you want it.

There’s other things that can provide a break or be fun for a while until you find the joy of the game again.

I’ve only ever got into anime shows for their quirky story or character personality development.

Not once was it for the design or terrible animation. If I ever do refer to breathtaking anime it would be studio ghibli but that’s about it. And even given its age, today’s anime really can’t compare. They just wouldn’t put in the work like they once did.

Not surprised a lot of kids get deep into it and then drop it fast as they grow older. Cutesy wears off when that’s the only thing going for it. It gets annoying after a while.

If the only reason you voted for trump as a form of ‘punishment’ towards dems, then yea that is on the voters. You should be voting for what helps you. Not to be a petty idiot.

Voters voted a fascist ‘as a punishment’ knowing full well what was going to happen?

That’s akin to blaming your significant other for your decision to cheat on them.

Dear voters who pulled this shit: Go get some big pants on and wear some blame. While you’re at it grow the fuck up.

Anyone would say that about their own party not meeting every single wish within a 4 yr run.

It’s like hiring an accountant to undo what another accountant did within one season.

It’s weird how Americans don’t really understand their own system.

so that no other party ever has power again.

This idiot already did 4 yrs once and that hasn’t happened.

Had he run the full 8 back to back he would have done a lot more damage than he can do in it broken up. The time it takes to turn over all things will take more time than he has power especially when he might likely be far more distracted with his court case even still.

Never know, maybe it was a blessing there was a break between terms to have all those charges land on him to help keep him distracted from his original course. It was a set back for him non the less.
