Almonds: ok I understand the appeal, they taste good in savory and sweet snacks thats good for them. If I need to I’ll get something with almonds in it Peanuts: i used to hate them as a kid but now I appreciate them in desserts and some noodle dishes. Add that good crunch to my Phad Thai
Pecans: a solid ok. Not my favorite but I hear good things about them and hope they’re doing well. Hazelnut: a solid effort in making things taste better. They do their best and you know what they’re pretty good at it.
Cashew: they get a bad rep for being an unhealthy nut but they hold up. As far as tastiness being worth it they are tasty! Macadamia: same league as Hazelnuts
Chestnuts: They have a wide range of talents and make the best out of every one of them.
Walnuts: Absolute dirt. Just dirt. Crunchy dirt. Bad at everything. Break open a shell get some dirt.
No, that is NOT what this is. You’ve taken an amazing medical invention, a total game changer, and made up some stupid, faux-deep sentence fragment for it that is a complete falsehood. You should be embarrassed and ashamed, honestly.
This is a ghost heart. What they’ve done is taken a pig heart and stripped it down to, basically, a cell framework that they can use to BUILD A NEW HEART UPON. You could inject stem cells into this framework so that a newly formed personalized heart can be transplanted into a donor with a significantly reduced chance of rejection. FUCKING AMAZING. It’s not been done with human tissue yet, but the promise this given to people who need hearts – or kidneys or livers or whatever – is beautiful. Science is beautiful.
And it’s IMPERATIVE to mention that a woman, Doris Taylor, at the Texas Heart Institute developed this. And she started with a rat heart and worked up to he bigger, more complex (and more human) pig heart. What a total bad ass.
So look, quit making shit up, learn to do a reverse image search on stuff you find on the internet, and STOP ERASING WOMEN IN SCIENCE.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE
The fact that rejection rate would be LESS which is VITAL
Honestly, my favorite thing at the moment is all the marvel headcanons where Hela wasn’t cray-cray homicidal, and she’s an overprotective bitchy sister.
Because here’s the thing – a guy who flits from girl to girl? He’s not going to obsess over you. He’ll flirt with you for as long as you both want, but never beyond that.
It’s usually characterized as him losing interest in a girl and going to the next one, leaving her broken-hearted. The thing is, that goes both ways. If the girl isn’t interested in him, he’ll back off and go find someone else.
For women who are constantly afraid of men’s reactions in the face of rejection, this is a relief. When you are constantly terrified of men who don’t take no for an answer, that the guy you say “no” to will follow you home or try to force you into doing something with him, a womanizer is a relief. You know he won’t get attached to you. He’s not going to obsess over you. The guy who’s already gone to flirt with some other girls isn’t going to follow you home.
Nice Guys, the kind who try to advertise how much better they are than those other guys, don’t seem to realize how disturbing it is when they try to play a “deep relationship” right off that bat. Staying with one girl all night at the party doesn’t signal commitment to us – it signals obsession.
The womanizing “Asshole”, the guy who loses interest quickly? He’s safe. We can say ‘yes’ if we want, but we can also say ‘no’, and he’ll just go find someone else. He’s not going to try and talk us around, he’s not going to waste time convincing us how much better we are than the next guy.
Maybe they leave a trail of broken hearts behind them – but as far as most girls are concerned, broken hearts are a lot better than broken bodies.
All I can say is thank you for actually defining
nice guy because as someone who tries really hard to be kind to
everyone for no reason other than that I know the world can be a cruel
place and I never know what someone is going through I often feel
included in posts talking about how horrible nice guys are because
nobody ever told me that they are talking about people who pretend to be
nice
Yeah, sometimes slang and jargon becomes so widespread we forget its literal meaning, and how it might look to someone who doesn’t know the colloquial meaning. I’ve definitely been there – still am there, there are lot of terms I see on Tumblr that I don’t understand.
Nice Guys (“Nice Guys”, Nice Guys™, etc.), is a phrase that refers to men who try to gain feminine attention and regard by positing themselves as “nice”, in opposition to the stereotype of the Manly Man who is ‘not a nice guy’. This mentality is built on a caricature of gender, and one which dehumanizes women (assuming all of us like the same things, or the same things in men), and denigrates other men.
You’ll find a lot of examples of this unpleasant kind of person here.
I do wish more of the world put in more effort to be kind to everyone. It’s just what a lot of people, especially men, don’t realize is that that respecting boundaries is a kindness, and lack of romantic or sexual interest is not a cruelty.
when male academics constantly refer to men by their surnames and women by their first names
like you’d never go to a lecture expecting shakespeare to be referred to as “william” but it’s not at all uncommon to sit through an entire lecture in which jane austen is referred to constantly as “jane”
it’s such a petty thing but it just really rubs me the wrong way, like it has a real suggestion of respect and admiration/lack thereof
kind of like how during the 2016 election everything was Trump vs Hillary
did y’all, perhaps, forget there was a whole other Clinton in office before and that maybe they used her first name to avoid confusion, lol?
We’ve had two President Roosevelts, no one refers to them as Roosevelt and Franklin. Even newspaper headlines from the times called them simply Roosevelt
We recently had two President Bushes. Bush Sr. was still alive when Bush Jr. was running and in office, and news agencies still referred to him as Bush
America was able to read this headline and hundreds like it and know which Bush it was talking about. When the news mentioned a Bush vs Gore debate we all knew that it wouldn’t be the ex-president debating
There was even a Bush running against Trump in the primaries and no one said Jeb vs Trump
