Dark chocolates on the other hand is cocoa which is bitter
Which has lots of health benefits
Like antioxidants

It also happens to be terrible to eat to much of for those of us with acid reflux problems. (may just be the caffeine, not sure, but same problem—messes slightly with the muscles that are supposed to keep the top of the stomach shut? or some such, just enough to exacerbate things for those of us who already have problems. It's noticeable quite quickly if I eat more than a few squares.)

Lolno.

argh hot melting

Anime has taught me that what you need in such a situation is a popsicle, an electric fan, and a wind chime. uwu

Don't melt too much though, kay? :'3

[pokari]

That article says to me, "here's yet another thing that people baselessly claim is helped by apple cider vinegar" (which has a weird cult following)

But although there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence, there’s very limited research.

In fact, no research supporting this claim has been published in a medical journal.

...means, "this is a folk remedy that's sufficiently unlikely that nobody has even bothered to test it properly yet".

Now, it does say someone's graduate thesis said something about it, for what that's worth, but for my purposes it's moot as it also says up-front that "Apple cider vinegar might improve acid reflux in people not taking medications and with minimal risk," which does not describe me. I don't have minimal risk, I have chronic acid reflux XD

a popsicle, an electric fan, and a wind chime

 

doesnt fit with summer cold ;(

[pokari]

Ah, then you need a cold compress made from a wet towel, again according to anime.

...You know, I don't think I've ever tried those. Though when I was a kid and my fever went super high (over 103°F yes we're heathens here and don't use Centigrade like civilized people do) my mother would stick me in a cold (lukewarm) bath to cool down—which is sort of like the extreme version of the same thing.

But never the forehead-towel thing. I wonder how well it works?

Any way, much hugs and hope you feel better soon :/

reading about emasculation of men in postindustrial societies

postindustrial societies

why is this relevant

----

in other news mosquitoes are emerging around here again, time to be safe

how does i protected ankle though ;(

[pokari]

knee-high socks tall boots?

Honestly I'm quite happy there are never all too many mosquitoes where I live (though they are still here, of course. The eggs of the desert ones around here can wait seven years for there to be water before hatching, and require very little water—we once had them hatching out of a moist crack at the bottom of the window in the shower, for instance.)

reading about emasculation of men in postindustrial societies

I like the emasculation of men. They're cuter that way. (?)

On a more real and pragmatic note, it really is possibly better if urban society has toned down masculinity a bit—that is to say, it's probably better if human males are a bit less rowdy and territorial when living in close quarters.
