Why are you so sure that the poster (or anyone else commenting here) isn’t drinking enough water?

I drink lots of water. Lots and lots, to the point that it’s already kind of annoying how frequently I have to piss. I’m fairly skeptical that drinking yet more would yield any benefits.

So either they are all wrong

You say this like it might be shocking. I would expect nothing more than major movie critics bandwagoning a movie like this.

Sitting on their ass while a battery wizzes them around isn’t ‘healthy’ lol.

It’s incredibly how many deluded people are on this site.

It depends how you train. 6 days per week is pretty common among bodybuilders. Injury risk is also lower (for naturals) because you’re generally lifting at a lower % of 1 RM.

I don’t know…I think even if someone was really interested in something like organic chemistry or biochem, unless they had a very very abnormal memory they’d get wrecked on an exam without studying.

I used SRS when studying for OChem and got the highest grade across all sections my prof was teaching.

You know you can just…create Anki cards with sentences, right?

Anki doesn’t force you to make cards with vocab words in isolation.

Probably because most people realize that it’s a horribly unpleasant way to go about it?

idea of a representative democracy is rooted in the technical difficulties of implementing a direct democracy

In the US at least, no it is not. The founders were incredibly concerned about the ‘passions of the mob’ and deliberately built a system that they hoped would temper the excesses of the public.

And after seeing the wacko stuff going on in California, I can’t blame them!

I’m in LA

Oh gee, who’d imagine you’d be able to find a decent baker in in LA?

Always hilarious how people in LA/NYC assume that obviously the experience of living in one of the largest cities in the country applies to the whole of the country.

Because normal people are using the term as a short-hand.

It doesn’t seem especially useful to lump everyone from coffee drinkers to people using antibiotics to people shooting up fentanyl all together, so I don’t really see the point in insisting on such a literal use of the the term.

Why shouldn’t we judge people for dumbass consumer behavior/ interests?

Disney Adults are fucking weird and I’m not ashamed about saying it.

poor souls you're choosing to ignore

And why exactly should I give a fuck about people who are trying to bother and inconvenience me?

No, it’s because city politics in the US are dominated by naive bleeding-heart type leftists who are willing to overlook any and all forms of antisocial behavior if it’s committed by a poor and/minority individual.

Idk why you screeching AI touts are so confident about its ‘wild’ success in all areas given absolutely zero evidence to that effect.

It’s tiresome.

You do realize that basically all those fancy ‘exotic asset’ classes underperform the S&P 500, right?

And the money to pay for all those retirees comes from…where?

Say the 40-year-old millennials who were exposed to the Wild West of internet content as children and are still fine.

Prior to college, my only computer was the crappy family pc in a corner of the living room. Only had a flip-phone until college too.

That’s a completely different world than kids growing up glued to smartphones, and screens generally, from elementary school.

Except evidence does not show that there are many more people trying and failing for kids as in past decades, so much as more people are delaying partnering up and having kids till later and later, along with many opting to be childless.

And most fertility issues people do encounter can primarily be explained by attempting to have children decades later than is biologically optimal.

There’s projections that college student populations will have shrinking male population.

We're well past that. In fact, the gender gap in college graduation is now worse than it was when Title IX was passed. But because the gap favors women no one gives a shit -- many 'progressives' even celebrate it and continue to insist we need all these programs specifically to get women into college.

It turns out that when you level the playing field, girls do better than boys.

Why is it that when boys/men where outperforming and out-earning women, people were willing to move heaven and earth to correct this terrible injustice, but now when outcomes have reversed (for years at this point) it's considered acceptable to say "Welp, that's just how it goes. Boys just aren't good enough."

Hmmm...almost like, it's not a level playing field??

I imagine it’ll be quite socially stratified - upper-middle class parents will be giving their kids dumbphones and keeping them off social media, possibly sending them to ‘tech-free’ schools, while poorer parents won’t.

? Who are you to say they deserve more than that.

Doubt.

How much money has been pumped into these products, to produce slightly coding tools?

Despite what the AI boosters keep screaming, these tools are absolute shit at anything outside programming.

I highly doubt they will stick around outside of tech companies once prices rise to the true costs.

Hollywood nepotism -> YouTube / TikTok / Creator economy

Certainly seems like an apt comparison! Personally I think we should just ban AI if it’s going to primarily facilitate the production of slop-shit like TikTok.

And despite the touts insisting on how useful and amazing these tools are, I have yet to see anything of true value be produced. Slop-shit vomit factories indeed.

What point are you even making?

We all have to eat, we all have to wipe our asses, we (mostly) all need to change the oil in our cars.

I don’t really see the purpose in describing the purchase of necessities as an identity.

I mean, I just go first thing Sat/Sun morning.

Parking is easy, the store is quiet, there are no vendors set up yet.

I have my list of things I need, I get it, get out, easy.

Idk, I’ve never felt the pull of ‘I MUST buy some new electronics’ when I walk by the tvs.

I don’t really understand the hate against ’consumption’ either. I’ve gotta eat and I’ve gotta shit, so I might as well go and by the cheap toilet paper and food. I don’t pay attention to all the other stuff.

How exactly does that contradict the concept of fitness?

Several examples from the paper are exactly that. E.g dark skin was better for survival in Africa, but as populations moved north light skin was strongly selected for. Given the levels of sunlight in Europe, lighter skin increased fitness.

Because everyone uncritically accepted government propaganda before social media came around?

You're saying they laid down rail in the US from end to end during wild West times

At a time when labor was dirt cheap and safety regulations were non-existent.

The railroads specifically used Chinese laborers who were treated, and paid, like shit.

People who take more than they give are assholes.

100%. I hate welfare leeches too
