  • It’s because stress is an immune system suppressant, like allergy medicine. When you’re mildly sick and stressed your body suppresses your immune response so you can keep doing what you need to survive, even though you’d be better off convalescing.

    When you take a vacation suddenly you relax and your body says “oh now that you’re not stressed, you were actually sort of sick… But now we can turn all the symptoms back on”

    I’m not defending shit. Words have meaning and are important. Especially words like pedophile today. When you make behaviour most people find acceptable like two adults consensually participating in sex work (porn) the same as the president raping children, you are actually helping the pedo rapists MORE than you’re harming the people “creeping” you out.

    There is a big difference between doing work that only increases the profits of the rich and further alienates you and your community and making a new sweater because you want one.

    Sure they did more tasks, but it’s not like we don’t do chores all day outside of work and on holidays.

    They did 150 days of labour for the wealthy and we do 200. Then they do chores from when they wake until they sleep most days and so do we. I’d rather do more chores for myself and less work for my boss thank you very much


  • I wish the headline was more in line with the actual study. I’m glad at least the conclusion made it into the article:

    “The Institute of Marine Research is clear that a significant increase in production in certain fjord systems could increase the risk of eutrophication locally, but that current production is well within nature’s carrying capacity. This provides a basis for strict, site-specific management, but does not document that current operations are destroying the fjords.”

    Should be more like “fish farm growth must be strictly managed so that it doesn’t endanger the ecology of at risk fjords”








  • That’s nonsense. Raising young kids is more work than most jobs, sure. But that’s not because it has equal work density. It’s an exhausting 20h/day 7d/week low-med effort task. A job is a 8-12h/day 5-6d/wk med-high energy task. Miss me with that 50/50 as soon as you come home crap. That’s a ridiculous goal. Not to mention you shouldn’t be wasting time making a mental accounting spreadsheet to figure out if your partner did enough work to deserve sex that day.

    Ideally everyone should have put in the same effort into the day and both partners should have the same energy level going to bed. Some days you both fall asleep dead, knowing you’ll wake up in two hours with the baby crying. Some days you get to bed with a little extra energy and the baby is sleeping through the night and maybe you have to think of something to do with that extra energy.

    It’s obvious you’ll have less sex with a tiny baby just from the exhaustion, but if you’re wasting energy resenting eachother because of low effort, unrealistic expectations, or withholding sex, then maybe y’all need to consider whether you need to work on your relationship or look for another one. Because some of what I’ve read in this thread on both sides sounds more exhausting than single parenting 50% of the time and working a full time job.
