I know a girl like that.

We're planning a field trip. Anyone have a personal in with old Elon?

Gravdigr · 10-28-2018, 03:14 PM

There's another one that don't really need no last name. Not a lot of Elons running around. Not in these hyere parts, nohow.

That proves your daughter was abducted by aliens.

In a few days, it will be reported on Fox and Friends. Then we will know it is true.

Quote:

Being lonely is not only bad for your health, it’s in fact significantly worse than drinking or not exercising. Loneliness emerged as a risk factor for early death with an impact as significant as smoking and three times more significant than obesity.

Social isolation is the best-established, most robust social or psychological risk factor for disease out there. Nothing can compare.

When your brain sends a message that you are lonely, the immune cells hear danger! and turn off some of your antiviral defenses: You don’t need those now, after all, since viruses spread among people.

Loneliness is also universal. It can equally affect both introverts and extroverts, says Cacioppo, and the only difference between them is the number of close relationships required to feel connected (one for introverts versus three for extroverts).

I wonder how they controlled for "loneliness the emotion" vs "nobody is there to call 911".

Happy Monkey · 11-12-2018, 06:02 PM

Or, "nobody there to coax you into going to the doctor when symptoms first appear".

Gravdigr · 11-26-2018, 03:25 PM

TIL that Quonset huts are called that because the first ones were manufactured at Quonset Point, near Davisville, R.I.

'Quonset' is an Algonquin word for 'small, long place'.

TIL that, as a writer, Lionel Richie achieved a No. 1 song a year from 1978 - 1986. And that he co-wrote We Are The World.

TIL about the teeny-tiny Rusty Spotted Cat.
