  • https://naplesshelter.org/strangulation/

    any reported history of strangulation places the person at a higher risk for more serious violence or homicide by the hands of their intimate partner. Data on strangulation reveals a glaring picture of the severity of this type of assault. One in four women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, and of those, up to 68 percent will suffer near-fatal strangulation at the hands of their partner.

    Of the victims, 97 percent are strangled by hands; 38 percent reported losing consciousness; 35 percent are strangled during sexual assault/abuse; 9 percent are also pregnant, and 70 percent of strangled women believed they were going to die.

    This article diffinerates between choking and strangulation; the former being airflow being blocked from applying pressure to your throat and the latter is blocking airflow and/or bloodflow from applying pressure on the side of your neck. I don’t think this is common knowledge and I would not trust anyone who put their hands on someone else’s neck

    I assumed your op was sarcastic/negative tone, but I’m realizing maybe you saw the quality and care this particular hummus took to make and were being genuine.

    These results look like they taste amazing. But a can of chickpeas for homemade hummus lunch is a really nice lunch too. I think culture needs to shift from recipes and “right” way to do things and start learning how to cook as a general life skill again. Food is expensive now but do we really feed and shop for ourselves like it is?
