The minerals in clay may be helpful to your body but people and cultures usually only eat or supplement their bodies with dirt when they are starving.

I really need to figure out this mud culture that Qanon folk are on

I was watching something on Discovery or whatever where pregnant women were craving and eating dirt and other strange, non-food things, and it was discovered that they actually had vitamin/mineral deficiencies that they were successfully "treating" by consuming that stuff.

Pregnant women in African swear by this one weird trick!

According to the WHO (credible?)

Infant mortality:
The highest under-five mortality rate remains in the WHO African Region (74 per 1000 live births), around 9 times higher than that in the WHO European Region (8 per 1000 live births).

Deaths during childbirth:
Sub-Saharan Africa alone accounted for roughly two-thirds (196 000) of maternal deaths, while Southern Asia accounted for nearly one-fifth (58 000).

Yes, that’s called malnourishment.

 

[Lagduf]

An infant mortality rate of 7.4% is absolutely terrifying and tragic.

This will certainly make one's body return to the clay from which it was formed if that is the desired result.

Haha.

We are jars of clay.

One question they ask every pregnant woman who goes to the OBGYN is if they eat/consume anything that is non-food.

We’re Star Stuff, yo.

Yes, but don't think that makes us family

I’ve seen all the Fast and Furious movies, most in the theater.

I’m an expert on family.

But have you watched any of them at the olive garden?

 

[Lagduf]

I have low standards, but I’m not a god damned animal.

I saw them at Red Lobster.

 

[norton9478]

Nope. Not really in a customer facing position anyway, but none of the FOH is wearing one either, not required by state or owner. Can't even remember the last time I saw someone I work with wearing one, probably sometime between end of 2020 and March 2021.

 

[lithy]

Need an assist.

 

[norton9478]

It's a picture of Bet-He White.

Everywhere I go, everybody is wearing masks. Except the whiteys.

 

[evil wasabi]

How is the typical "let's go Brandon" fan going to make that connection?!

Just got a voicemail from work, another one of my co-workers tested positive for Covid, here we go again...

Kind of a weird moment, they're still reusing the prerecorded message our beloved receptionist, who quit, made, so, it's like getting a warning from a ghost.

Our union reps are negotiating our 2022 contract with the big boss man today too, so, that's bad timing, as I think another one of us testing positive weakens our position, but, it could go the other way too. He just gave us all a raise recently anyway, and the CNAs a really big one at that, so, other than improving staffing levels (which is proving very difficult to accomplish these days, with so many people unwilling to work), I don't know what else they could hope to get out of him in the way of meaningful change.

I don't know how your bargaining position can weaken any further than "30% of the staff are mentally retarded."

 

[Lagduf]

People are not unwilling to work.

People are unwilling to be slaves.

We employ M is pretty damning too.

The threshold is when you realize LoneSage is making more than you in China, living cheaper than you, and has more time optionality. If you find those three elements to be true, something has to change.

 

[Lagduf]

Time to move to China!

Can you teach English?
