Interestingly, there is some evidence that suggests that antioxidants like vitamin C, especially when taken in the excessively large doses that are fashionable these days, can interfere with the immune system (which relies on oxidation reactions in order to clear pathogens and precancerous cells) and preclude gains from exercise (oxidation is used as a signal by the body to eg. induce muscle mass growth).

Exactly, and you cannot have a serious conversation about the attitudes of yore if you censor the words they themselves used.

Back then, it simply meant “developmentally delayed”.

One thing about the pre-Internet times I don’t hear much about is how much more centralised our media were and how, as a result, people or ideas on the fringe of society didn’t get much attention. That includes for instance how the strange ideas about vaccines or ethnic groups now spread much easier than they did before the Internet, but also how trans* people and other marginalised groups find it much easier to find and support each other and be a united front against oppression.

In summary, I don’t thing that what has been termed “the great awokening”, nor the organised opposition against it, could have taken place before the Internet. At least not at this scale.

This is your brain on don’t.

“Beige shirts”

Apparently this is what makes someone turn neutral.

Hey, at least the number of fingers on the visible hand check out.

Cue the equally opinionated and uninformed HN-folk babbling on about how IPv6 isn’t backwards compatible, yet again quoting the stupid DJB article.

That’s kind of simplistic: some traits are initially neutral and only show their usefulness later on.
