Oh good, you caught the true hidden message, which is that planting trees is a waste of time because they don’t even grow that fast /s

He’s a (wealthy) dope fiend who takes advantage of poor women in a time when even the implication of sexual activity outside of marriage meant ostracization and poverty for them. He betrays his friends and straight up murders one of them. He’s a massive piece of shit even for current standards

Yeah definitely, Lord Henry was an edgelord who liked the sound of his own voice, and took advantage of Dorian’s immaturity because he found it amusing to see him take Henry’s bullshit to heart. It’s like when you tell your younger cousin that babies get shat out like turds and then watch in glee when they go ask their mom about it. Despite his words, he lived a very conventional life, he was married to a woman who matched his social standing, and he attended social functions as expected.

She was dying of hypothermia and dehydration, but they saved her, so now she’s not dying

Mindfulness is not behavioral modification— it’s about learning to recognize and sit with the reality of the present and what your senses reveal about that state.

This is partly why psychiatric conditions can lead to physical illness

That doesn’t really work because this is a case-control design, meaning that their health status is controlled for. If they were were sick to the point of being non-compliant with meds that would be reflected in their control match

That’s interesting, since the case and controls were matched to account for confounders (health status, socioeconomic factors, etc) —what do you think the alternative explanation might be?

> Supplementation with higher vitamin D dosages was associated with greater risk reductions than lower dosages (Log Average Dosage HR: 0.837 [95% CI: 0.779,0.900]).

Now this is incredibly interesting and actually does imply causation
