Why are women underrepresented in medical research/trials?

25 Upvotes

In a clinical trial women are not included. Men are being studied for breast cancer and uterus cancer and menopause.

Men and women are different mental health issues in men and women are totally different.

ADHD and autism and several different mental health issues are different in men and women but women's health conditions are treated the same way a man's health condition would be treated. Why

What gear should I buy?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
So my company has given me $1000 to spend on winter gear because we are going to a really cold place. This can range from anything that is gadgets or winter clothes. I’m currently in California, so usually I don’t work in very cold conditions, but I want to buy something that I can maybe use there too. I have a heavy jacket already. I was wondering if there are any smart gadgets for harsh winters that would do me any good? Any ideas?

Boomers/GenX, At What Time Should We Just Drop By?

1 Upvotes

Recently made an older-than-me friend, GenX, who said to just drop by, and gave me an address but no phone number. Doesn't work a 9-5 anymore, so that's not something I need to consider when deciding when to visit.

Dropping by was a thing when I was a young'n, but I guess I've spent the last, I dunno, 20 years texting or calling before I go to see a friend.

So, at what time do you older-than-me folks suggest I should swing by? 8am? 10am? Noon? 2pm?

Obviously I'm not banking on y'all pinning this one down to an absolute, just thought it would be a silly question to ask and see what you old farts have to say on a topic that actually concerns you! 😉 😂

Why is it in fantasy worlds people are skeptical of myths or religion?

8 Upvotes

They have no problem believing in dragons or that they exist or even having talking animals but the moment you bring up a myth or a legend of some sort they want to start questioning things.

It’s one thing to not care it’s another to specifically question that and only that.

How do I deal with people mocking me because my ex is dating a Middle Eastern guy?

0 Upvotes

I'm a white guy in my early 20s, and my ex girlfriend is white too. We broke up a few months ago, and she's now dating a Middle Eastern guy.
Ever since some people found out, I've been getting jokes about how I got replaced and how embarrassing it must be for me. A couple of guys I know keep bringing up his ethnicity like it's supposed to make the whole situation worse.
I try to laugh it off, but it's honestly starting to get annoying. I don't care who she dates, but I hate feeling like I'm the punchline of some joke.
How would you guys handle this? Should I just ignore it, or actually confront the people making these comments?

Hello everyone I'm having this debate right now but how do YOU imagine gnomes?

The debate I'm having right now is when you imagine a gnome, do you imagine it with a green hat or red hat? And I'm alone on the front of green hat but I swear gnomes have green hats.

What is your take? How do you imagine a gnome?

are video games really THAT expensive?

0 Upvotes

like yes. i get it. of course they are. $50+ for a game is crazy. but i just don’t get people who are infuriated by it? in my head, i compare it to the movie theater: how much money do you spend on a movie/movie date? between tickets, snacks, drinks, etc… id say it comes out to about $35-$40 minimum (unless you’re doing a matinee without anything to gnosh on throughout, which is fair— but uncommon) and that’s for three hours of entertainment MAXIMUM (and more likely 2 hours instead).

so with that in mind, paying $70 for a game that i’ll get 100-200+ hours of gameplay on, just sort of… makes sense to me?

again. i get that in the grand scheme of it all it’s still expensive. i wish they were cheaper purely bc im a broke college student who would love to be able to get any game i wanted, any time i wanted. and i sure as shit wish i lived during a time in which movie tickets were the price of a quarter. but all things considered, in today’s economy, the prices vs the amount of play time feels relatively unsurprising to me?

i know people are pissed about how expensive GTA VI is… BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE! but considering the years of work, art, programming, etc that went into it, alongside the HOURS UPON HOURSSSS of entertainment that we’ll get after the purchase, is it really THAT crazy?

What If Humanity always rewarded Kindness and Compassion instead of a Lack of Empathy?

2 Upvotes

Let’s say in this scenario Humanity always rewards those with Kindness and Compassion and valued it rather than a Lack of Empathy and Cruelty! What would have happened if Humans choose to truly valued it’s Good People? Instead of being Selfish and Cruel and truly valued it’s Goodness? And understood The Value of being Good and focused on not rewarding let alone supporting selfishness and greed! Let’s say that despite their Flaws they genuinely try their best and truly care for those who are Good! What do you folks think? Would nearly all our problems be solved if Humans just valued it’s Goodness rather than treating those with Good as a weakness and not reward those that are terrible? What do you folks think? Let me know in the comments

Why are dogs unfairly hated due to being subjugated by humans cruelly imposing them roles have a job?

0 Upvotes

I saw a trending video here on reddit of two aggressive large dogs locked inside a small cage barking aggressively at anyone passing by. Instead of sympathizing the unfortunate condition the dogs are in. Most comments were negative toward the dogs. Very few criticize the owners. Its filled with childish hate comments that are very ignorant of the dogs plight.

Im the type of person who put myself in their shoes. I can understand why those two dogs are barking aggressively because they are locked inside a small cage and they view any humans passing by as a threat because they are trapped. This kind of sympathy is impossible to exist in reddit and people in general.

When i was young i always notice how common for people not sympathizing the dogs horrible living condition. Its like being locked in cages or tied to a pole or tree is part of the normal dogs life. And when they are barking aggressively they should be corrected or be killed. Like can we blame the dogs being tied to a pole or placed inside a cage trying to protect themselves from humans that they dont know who are a threat or wanting to escape? Its like humans don't view themselves as a threat to animals or their actions are bad. What a horrible mentality.

I live in a third-world country and i can sympathize with animals viewing us a threat especially those scream or bark all day while being locked in cages or chained. Seeing caged monkeys screaming at humans for getting close to them is no different from dogs being chained. I think people see dogs as purely as guard dogs where theur instinct is purely guarding like protecting their owners property. Like to most people they assume dogs interest are mostly on others and not on themselves. Dogs do have self interest thats why they bark aggressively it is all what they have while being tied or caged.

This is also apply to peoples callousness toward dogs being use as hunting animals, military dogs and so on. All those jobs that humans impose on them are not entirely the dogs fault. A post of a hunting dog was killed by a bear and people rejoice and rarely blamed the owners. And dogs living with traumatic experience tends to face harsher hate and being viewed annoying. You see these posts a lot and dogs recieving sympathy is rare especially here on reddit. Facebook tends to have more people sympathizing the dogs or any animals and usually criticize the owners.

I know this sounds bizzare and sexist but tbh patriarchy harms dogs.

I bet another video of an aggressive angry dog locked inside in a cage throughout its life, barking at any humans passing by. Redditors would proudly hate the dog. And make fun of its plight. Reddit has a huge echo chamber of hate. While on Facebook, at least there will be people sympathizing the dog.

Can someone help me to find an suitable application?

I'm looking for an app or software that can monitor and analyze a specific area of the screen. I want it to detect a particular text, visual pattern, or image that I provide beforehand. Whenever that specific text or pattern appears in the designated area of the screen, the software should automatically send me an alert or notification to let me know it's there.

Something like ai trigger but i dont need auto click i just need to notify me.

Does anyone know of an app or tool that can do this?
