I mean, it’s a generic baby carrier done in a “tactical” style, but many people have pointed out it’s an incredibly dumb product because babies have no stopping power at all…

Though what is new is to take a completely non gendered product, weirdly gender it, then double the price. Previously it was all about pretending there were differences in already gendered products/services like clothing, hair, specifically “feminine” products…

If I’ve learned anything from Total War: Warhammer II; it’s that units with the ‘meat shield’ trait are surprisingly useful when correctly employed…
(On a slightly darker note; I wonder if a design that implies relatively low reproductive investment in the juvenile being carried, compared to mom’s, is a deliberate part of the ‘rated M for manly’ tacticool styling; or if I’m overdoing the subtext here. Intentional or not, when it comes to mammalian gender roles the degree to which “we can always make more”/“we have reserves” is true is a much stronger marker than the merely cultural associations of camo coloration…)

Your introduction intrigues me and I look forward to reading the rest of the dissertation in due course.

I referred to her just a couple of days ago, but again Felicity Beedle would be at your service to enlighten you about poo.

And the pink does not seem to be guaranteed to be made to USP standards (it probably is anyway).
They’re both stimulating laxatives. Stimulating in this case refers to the way they provoke a bowel movement (by releasing a chemical that is absorbed after the coating wears off in this case). Most (all?) suppositories are also stimulating laxatives. This is in contrast to laxatives that work by increasing bulk or water retention.
Not sure what the additional coating does. I’ve used bisocodyl in the past and found it caused a lot of cramping and pain. Maybe the coating makes it release slower or later in the digestive system.
Man, when my doctor told me to try Melatonin, he did NOT mention the nightmares.
For the first couple of weeks, I had vivid dreams, but they were nice, positive ones.
After that, I had very vivid nightmares, to the point where I was not nearly gaining the sleep I lost bolting upright in a cold sweat every 45 minutes.

It’s obviously the next logical step behind measures like having a gigantic peacock tail or motorcycle that reduce your fitness in order to increase your attractiveness:
What demonstrates even greater confidence in future reproductive success than reducing your fitness? Actively sacrificing existing offspring to demonstrate your unshakable likelihood of having more in the future!
(If prospective mates notice that this behavior also implies sacrificing their, much more metabolically expensive, offspring for your own gains; that’s a little tricky: you have no good arguments, so just try claiming that you are doing it to attract ‘evolutionary psychologists’ like moths to the flame for you and your mate to feast on. As spiders prove* the ladies love are totally into that.)

You know, I do have nightmares, but not sure they are any more frequent with the melatonin.
Last one I had I dreamed I fell asleep driving, and I was semi-awake but in sleep paralysis, and swear to fucking god thought it was real.

Yep, $23.35/240 vs. $12.33/60. I think I did the math right.
