  They might disinherit you for being disrespectful? That’s insane. Did they threaten you to do that? If the relation is that bad I can understand why you would care. My parents would just think I’m being weird.

  I hadn’t thought about a DNA test, but I definitely don’t see how it could help me with my life. If it comes positive, nothing changes. If it comes negative, I don’t see the administration doing anything about it. They won’t even know you passed a test, even if they had procedures for these cases. You or your parents would need to bring up the issue in a legal procedure for the administration to consider it.

  What I mean is that if you have issues with your parents or tutors, knowing what they are exactly does not fix the issues by itself (surely there is a better angle to think about it?). I understand that you would think about it, but if you don’t like thinking about it, I think you usually don’t need to invest yourself into it. Like, you can keep the obsessive thought without worrying about it. And that will make it stop over time. I don’t know how much sense this makes, it made sense to me back then :shrug:

  I did, and shrugged it off

  for me this is the same kind of questions as “maybe the universe was created 5 seconds ago”. It’s impossible to resolve, and doesn’t change anything

  It helps I guess ? Making some of the conditions more likely makes the sum* of all conditions more likely

  The body is not designed to keep effort going at all costs. You will be informed when you have a cramp, because you should slow down and wait it out before continuing. The whole point of pain is to react to broken stuff, usually by stopping using it.

  It will however keep life going at all costs, sometimes digesting replaceable muscles into energy for non-replaceable elements. But it’s more about starvation resistance than about chasing. It could also be the case if we were a specie of static filter feeders

  A lot of the human body has been affected by long walks and runs, and we do have (well, not me in particular) over-average stamina developped presumably for hunting. It’s just the specific exemple of muscle digestion that I’m going after here

  this knowledge comes from, uh… idk :3

  Hey so, is this a normal thing in meta analyses ?

  We identified 46 studies for inclusion in our analysis. Of these, 27 studies reported positive associations (significant links to NDDs), 9 showed null associations (no significant link), and 4 indicated negative associations (protective effects).

  27+9+4 is 40 I think ? What happened to the 6 other papers ? I’m always confused by the whole “we ignored half of the studies and we won’t tell you why”, if they can also ignore some of the 46 studies they selected, what does the 46 number mean ?
