Isn't a hairy chest a put-off for women?

I spent about 40 minutes in bathroom first scissoring away the hair, then shaving it off, in order to have the Holter EEG monitor attached.

And it's already hairy again.

@CowperKettle In recent (not really scientific) research done in Britain, lots of chest hair was indeed a bit of a turn-off.

But I'm quite sure this will vary a lot between cultures.

Your advertisement also strongly suggests this.

@CowperKettle Why yes, now that you mention it, a hairy-chested woman can be a real put-off for some people.

31.7% of Russia's total population have been vaccinated thus far. At the current rate, 50% will be vaccinated by mid-January.

Could be moral panic.

@CowperKettle Don't forget the aurora borealis. :)

@CowperKettle could be understatement

depends on your context (and specifics)

It's well known (though that's simply stereotype) that FB (and really any social media) has a toxic, bullying side to them.

Bullying?

One can make one account "friends-only"

But yes, maybe.

I just think it must be hard to measure and disentangle whether the social networks really affect people.

@CowperKettle Yes. People being mean to each other on social media. It happens everywhere. Even here.

I just unfriend/block mean people

@CowperKettle You have good habits in that (and how to use the platform)

@CowperKettle It's not a precise science like predicting Halley's Comet's return, but there is knowledge there.

@CowperKettle But yes it may be overblown. Fire must be banned - it hurts!

I was a small kid when the Halley Comet passed Earth

I remember other kids telling of a film called something like "Monsters from Halley's Comet" or something, and wanting to watch it badly.

And my dad told me, that when the comet visits next time, I would be a very old man.
