Scientists
conducted two meta-analyses examining previous research on the possible
links between loneliness and health. In the first meta-analysis, they
looked at 148 different studies and found that more social connection is
associated with a 50% reduction in the risk of early death.
The second
meta-analysis examined 70 studies and found that three factors — social
isolation, feelings of loneliness and living alone — were all associated
with higher risks for premature death. Read more (8/7/17)
Do you ever think about how supermarkets have no clear indicator of time passing visually? Like if u go into a supermarket in the morning or midnight it would look the same, same harsh white lighting. Time isn’t real. Nothing is real. Avocados are half off
honestly one of my favourite things abt tony becoming iron man is that like…he didn’t have a trial run? like sure, he tested the flight systems, but he didn’t go try to fight crime in his own backyard to see how if would go first. he had a purpose!! he had the vague outline of a plan!!! he finally knew what he had to do and he knew in his heart it was right!!!! my deeply traumatized furious civilian son stepped into the suit of armour that he built in his basement, flew directly to afghanistan, and fucked up a tank
every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.
“women can’t drive”
It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.
“women never shut up”
Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.
“women are shallow”
Lol next
“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”
Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion
“women are too emotional”
Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.
I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.
