I found this very wholesome, it’s sound advice that everyone kind of knows (work out, eat well, sleep etc) but a nice reminder to get up from my desk and take a walk sometimes.

I get unemployment being high for office-based jobs right now, companies think they can slap AI onto everything and get rid of employees, but what’s the reason for min wage jobs? Are they suddenly overflowing with applicants?

this is so disturbing. beyond not installing one of these in the first place, is there anything we can do to stop companies from going down the dystopian route?

on the bright side, they’re contributing to the economy by creating more jobs /s (although I pity whoever ends up dealing with that mess)

what about methylene blue? I saw an article around the other day saying basically that it’s mostly hype, but I’ve also heard good things about it.

this is the first time I’m hearing taurine had been linked in any way to aging (while also finding out that’s no longer supported by evidence). all I knew was that it’s something energy drinks have. but I’m curious, did this take off as a popular supplement?

researchers don’t receive unlimited funding for life, even if they made it into a permanent position. they have to regularly apply for grants, and those applications are reviewed by experts and have to be grounded properly in previous work. it’s just that potential for profit is not a criterion for evaluation, as it is in the private sector

a lot of basic research is very risky and most of the time it’s not stuff that leads to immediate development of a new drug. it’s basically acquiring knowledge with the hope that some of it might turn out to be practically useful in the future, but in the short term, it just allows us to understand stuff. but it’s not directly profitable, so private companies aren’t motivated to invest so much money in that

yep. I don't wanna be in the shoes of the doctors who'll have to deal with this. although I suspect a part of them will resign, leading to even more "fun" downstream effects

it's so surreal to me how this is happening under our eyes and nobody's stopping it. the impact this will have on our health is so staggering. and what's worse, even if these cuts were reversed tomorrow, it would still take quite some time to reverse the negative effects

to be completely fair, journals of negative results have popped up in some fields, but I've never really heard anyone mentioning any paper published in such a journal

same. there's something about it that I can't put my finger on, but that makes it so lifeless and gives me the impression I'm looking at the same boring image over and over and over again
