Yeah, I can, actually. And I will, since you called me Bill Nye and that is the highest of compliments. First off, avocados contain a high amount of beta-sitosterol, which (along with other plant sterols) helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. There's also lutein and zeaxanthin which help repair and maintain eye tissue and the fatty acids help absorb antioxidants like beta-carotine which helps prevent mucular degeneration, and all three of which I was using in my studies of cloning eye tissue for possible reconstruction before Tresspasser hit. Avocados also contain about a fourth of the amount of vitamin K that you need per day, which is just as important as calcium and vitamin D for bone health, but a lot of times people don't get enough of it. Then there's folate, which helps protect against various forms of cancer by preventing mutations in DNA and RNA during cell division, as well as prevents a build up of homocysteine which can decrease circulation and can also decrease the amount of seratonin and dopamine, which have an effect on mood. It's also a good source of fiber which helps regulate your immune system and intenstinal cycle and therefore helps with detoxifying the body on a regular basis, in addition to being generally good for your body in terms of preventing various health issues like heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and gastro-intestinal diseases. Fiber also helps lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol.

So yeah. Avocados. They're awesome.


Then idk what studies you were reading, but they've gotta been from eons ago or from someone who was for corporal punishment. I'd love to see the data on those because I'm willing to bet a good chunk of change that there was some horseshit in the data and how it was collected. Also, my dude, you turned out fine in spite of the hide tanning, not because of. People that live through abuse have the ability to turn out fine and better than the people that abused them. It doesn't change the fact that abuse is abuse. Though I gotta agree with you re: people gotta start thinking twice about procreating. And by that I also mean that safe abortions should be more readily available and affordable because we probably wouldn't have half the problems we do if people with a uterus were just allowed to safely get abortions.

Yeah up to no good like actually protesting against things that are bs. I mean idk about the situation you came from, but in my world we're getting close to the apocalypse and on our last legs because a bunch of 60-70 year old suits in the government decided that building a wall is going to keep out a 2500+ ton alien creature. Which is some massive amounts of horseshit.
