Seb the goblin

It’s not that simple. People seem to be so focused on just the diet they forget about the bigger picture. Starting from healthcare, which is notoriously bad in the US, all the way to community, which studies have shown to be directly related to improved health (again, weaker in the US, stronger in Japan).

Even if just focusing on the diet, two people in the US and in Japan could have the exact same diet yet have different health outcomes, due to the poorer food quality and safety standards in the US (not even gonna go into food deserts and pollution which are a whole other thing).

How about “turds of a feather float together”? You know, like the surprise log at pool

But that’s what these AI bros want. Personal growth? Being challenged? That’s for plebs, real alphas only have yes-men and endless platitudes

I actually some time ago listened to a podcast (can’t remember the name) where the guy had his little daughter (like preschool) rate his dad-ness on different scales by just drawing a line on the paper and asking her to put her finger on it to show her rating. Though it was apparently biased because that morning the dad had made the daughter brush her hair. In any case, he took sub-millimeter measurements, did the math, and ended up with a number just like that… Which he ofc printed on a mug 😁

Exactly! Now you’re getting it 😁

It’s not profitable for the mill, yes, but the millers (board members and C-suite) are making Hella bank

Their business is the LLMs. It’s like asking if a loaf of bread is expensive, then why don’t millers bake bread using their own flour

You know you can have opinions about things, and thinking they’re bad, without being outraged, right? Like, I think (idk about what you’d think) that dog poop smells bad. That is my opinion, and it’s consistent no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I don’t feel strongly when dog poop is mentioned. I still decline when someone offers me a bag of dog poop. If someone talks about a big poop their dog did, I don’t feel big emotions, I just know that I don’t like it. The same is with politics. Like I believe that all people should have access to free healthcare. Am I seething with rage constantly over the state of US healthcare? No. Am I upset whenever someone discusses which health insurance company they should go with? Also no, it’s them doing their thing trying to survive. But if someone’s saying “oh we should replace the national health system in countries X, Y, and Z with a private system like the US”, I’d potentially even comment on it, but still not have a burning flame of outrage inside.

Do you get my point? You can have knowledge, opinions, and reactions to things without being constantly full of a certain emotion or another.

Could start with a system that works for anyone else besides young white men 🤷🏻

So many commenters forget that BMI was created based on statistical analysis of young white men - specifically, soldiers. Just like IQ tests. So neither accounts for age, height, race, sex, disability, financial background, illness, mental health, limb differences, etc and so on. BMI is only useful for evaluating if your average young white man is fit for military service, and that’s it. But because it’s such a nice number with a simple formula, it got slapped on everything. Which is shit.

Nah, can do stuff like the UK did - taxing sugar - so that instead of getting less income from removing sales tax, it’d be more income from new tax

Wow, what a tone-deaf, obviously-did-read-the-comment response, thank you for reminding me how selfish and embarrassing people can be

I’m assuming the US, because
