Singing lessons. I'm honestly not even kidding.

I'm an American who grew up in a part of the country called Appalachia. My native accent is often associated with being uneducated and stupid, so I learned how to change it when I was a young adult.

The thing that helped me most was voice lessons that taught me how to control the muscles in the nasopharynx, throat, tongue. The reason that's difficult is because you can't see the way those muscles move when someone else speaks or sings, so you can't just mimic what they're doing. It takes a little bit more effort to learn.

Learning how to sing classical western music (opera type stuff) allowed me to learn how to speak in that kind of just generic Midwestern American accent that has less negative social associations.

Now, that being said, I also have Indian friends who grew up in the United States who still speak with a similar Indian accent as their immigrant parents, and it's really no big deal. So you could just roll with your native accent.

(And also, I still code switch back into my native accent when I'm talking to my family or I visit my home region. Your native accent never goes away even when you learn a different way of speaking.)

Now I need a NileRed video on combustion in a fluorine atmosphere.

(Also, props to your username. I see you, fam.)

As a person who has had many cats in my life, I am of the opinion that two cats is the best number of cats. If you can afford to care for and have space for a second cat, I'd say go for it.

If you're not really experienced with cats, be aware that cats almost never get along immediately. It can take weeks of them seeming to hate each other before they become friendly. It's helpful to put the new cat in a cage where the current cat can see and smell them, but can't reach them with claws. That gives them a little space to get to know each other before the current cat feels like its territory is being invaded.

Yep, that's a strip mine

Nine Inch Nails. Why yes, I was in high school in the 90s, why do you ask?

Ok I have no idea where you drove through, but the vast majority of the state is woodland and wetland. I spent my childhood summers just literally wandering around the woods all day with neighborhood kids while our parents were at work.

You were in a strip mining area.

The Framingham Heart Study has entered the chat. It's really the only way to assess a longitudinal effect of this kind.

Everyone remember this post next time you find yourselves wondering where incels got the idea that they're entitled to women's affection without any effort on their own part.

Internal medical ethics controls do a pretty good job of dealing with this kind of nonsense though. You're never going to get rates of that kind of insanity to zero, and legal regulations don't make it any better.

It's based on likelihood to succeed and remaining useful life. I've had a patient in their 70s receive a kidney transplant. Ability to attend medical appointments and adhere to prescription drug regimens play a large role in approval for transplant. And I've personally witnessed major transplant teams go out of their way to help patients overcome obstacles like transport to medical appointments, affording meds, in an effort to get them ready for transplant approval.

Honestly, I wish all medical care could be as hands on and holistic as transplant is.
