Medical history is full of examples of people changing things bc of a theory that either happens to actually help for a different reason (don't live next to a swamp) or at the same time as a change that did help (British switching to low vit-c limes right when ships get faster. Scurvy rate drops.)

Your swamp gas point is super real. Distinction between bad smell causing illness vs association with indeed potential. Usually pointing out that mosquitos (cause of plenty of swamp-associated illness) do not smell and are stopped by screens helped.

Indeed! I very much like a paper plane and enjoy that they vary. I bought luxardo brand out of curiosity (and being in a Vermont gas station -osity). It's very dark and gives a paper plane a kind of cola quality, but I'm not mad at it.

The friends whose house we visit have had the same bottle of Braulio for months and months and I gotta say, it's terrible in a paper plane. Minty nonsense.

It was the first thing about the South I felt ok laughing at after leaving the South. The first national thing that was laughing at the things that are actually funny without having contempt for the characters. I loved that show.

I grew up in serious college basketball country (Chapel Hill), and I was taught from birth to mute the tv and turn on Woody Durham on the radio.

I feel this way about a condescending person who was wrong at me about the rate of daylight hours changing at different latitudes. Like 29 years ago.

The thing where "Karen" turns all complainers into women. Even in English, I would not assume Terry is female.

I think a lot of American people (women) in my generation got taught that it was an easy thing to give up in an era that was pretty obsessive about cutting fat. It took me a good while to get over that.
