@seaman29_blue I looked it up. It seems epidurals are used in 75% of births in USA, 70% in Korea, 30% in China, 20% in the UK, 40% in Sweden, 30% in Netherlands, and 5% in Japan. For uterine biopsies anesthetics are used 10-20% in USA, around 10% in Korea/UK/Australia, and almost none in Japan.
@OooJoo56895@ritachowmulvey BMR correlates strongly with body composition. So ethnicity doesn't matter as much as your overall body size/frame, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, mass of organs. Organs burn the most calories. A bigger frame means more mass. More tissue area means your heart pumps more.
@RoidZcoc@ritachowmulvey That's a myth by the way. You don't have a harder time building muscle and you don't lose it any faster. There's no actual evidence for that. The reason you're more prone to diabetes is because of visceral fat retained around the organs.
@silentandgreat Being tall doesn't matter for that though. Adolescent boys naturally develop protective instincts towards their own mothers. Its a consequence of brain chemistry. Triggers are things like attachment, intimacy, trust, affection, vulnerability, etc.
@ritachowmulvey The caveat is that the BMR figure itself hinges a lot on body composition. Adjusted for body composition there's no tangible difference between them. Basically, if you gain more muscle mass, you increase your BMR, which means you will have to eat more to retain your body mass.
@ritachowmulvey To answer your actual question: Asians retain more visceral fat than Caucasians. Which means they can go longer without food. They also have lower basal metabolic rates on average. This means that most of the time Caucasians actually need more food to retain their body mass.
@KEen0044@ritachowmulvey There's no real standard for meals at all as far as food choices go. But health conscious people pay attention to "macros", aka nutrient balance when planning meals. Some people also use 'intermittent fasting' as a method to cut bodyfat percentage, while retaining gains.
@waniiii6974 Drones supplement infantry. They will never replace it. US can't even do much about Iran. Even when B2s keep dropping bombs, they just sit there and wait. Because at the end of the day the only thing that can hold territory is boots on the ground.
@Hellomeow0 Also, higher levels of testosterone increase pain thresholds and dampen pain sensations by triggering the release of natural pain-relieving molecules such as enkephalins and anti-inflammatory proteins like IL-10.
@kankokunya Among developed countries, Korea has one of the lowest maternal employment rates. And also the highest gap in income between married couples. The statistics are there in plain view, so I don't understand why there's a preconceived notion that Korean women are more "progressive".
@mad_dogdebt When you see things like this, think of it as an opportunity. If its really widespread its a tangible signal that means "invest" to create more jobs. The capital is there. It already exists. This never means "vote for socialism", but there are many fools who will.
@soxx_i Being tall is a sign of good genetics. It matters even more for interactions between men. Short men get used to being disrespected their whole lives.
@donstop4886 Interestingly, did you know that Americans score similarly to East Asians on PISA exams if you factor out blacks/latinos? Koreans are also the highest scoring ethnic group on SAT college entrance exams.
@8h_xm@BruceWayneKorea They're in the same boat, though MAGA itself is internally split. The Carlson-Bannon faction is anti-neocon, but they still support Trump over Democrats. Trump camp has AIPAC and Christian Zionist donors, quite influential. But Trump is neutral in principle. He resembles Putin.
@hswyjxxx Korean women seem to have some kind of paranoia, judging by their protests. Even though in reality most Korean men aren't interested in foreigners. Korean men are often a controversial topic with many chiming in. But Korean men never say anything. They aren't allowed to socially.
It's true that the American left is less leftist than the Korean right, but that is because Korea is the abnormal one. And you are peddling lies here. It's Trump that started a trade war against China. It's also republicans that favor investment led growth.
