I suspect (but have no science to back it up) that it’s a risk factor for many things. I had ear infections more or less constantly in my childhood and were on antibiotics the whole time until they finally stooped working. The end result is that I’m now deaf on one ear. I get why they were prescribed, it stopped the acute pain but no one thought about the long term

I can’t help wondering how the AI would judge the clearly very attractive, but not white lady on the front page of the link.

Very much so, advancements in cosmetic surgery as well as the strict training and supplements that were not available for older generations of actors. Take someone like Kumail Nanjiani who very clearly were on HGH for his role in The Eternals

Almost got misgendered. I have long hair and shaved an hour ago, but still. Also, guessed I have a BMI of 20

Sure, if you think the point of twitter is to build a brand by dispensing your profound wisdom from up on high.

Beer is pretty funny that way. The most fancy, expensive and artisanal beard guy stuff is often impossible to distinguish in a blind test, it's just sharp tasting hop juice.

One problem with being a new employee, junior or not, is that it's hard to know who to ask or has worked on something similar before when you don't really even know your coworkers. The thing I miss most when WFH is overhearing relevant information. Teams dailies do not really solve that problem.

I’m not so sure this works with how I use twitter. My typical twitter use is when I’m on a 10 minute ride on the subway, I don’t want longform writing in this context. If I see a link to something interesting I’ll open a tab in safari for later reading, but I’m not gonna move away from my timeline just to read your thoughts

I should probably have used the word compact instead. When I hold it I can feel the inertial weight when moving my hand in a way I don't do with my current iphone 13
