  1. My vote would be "not brass"
  2. People trying to exempt themselves from reality are going to be what kills humanity, nothing else.
  3. A fairly related good read I'd recommend to anyone is Herman Pontzer's Burn.
  4. This ties back in to what I was saying earlier about UBI. I didn't have the energy to explain to seed worker that people of means can obviously spend that on other things besides food, like hookers and blow, but it would assure no one goes hungry, and stopping our subsidizing shit food has to go hard in hand with this. To be clear, I'm not saying ban Ozempic, I'm saying don't hand it out like candy to Suzie Tahoe Driver to keep her ass in proportion to her fake tits because she doesn't want to give up Margs and her fast casual restaurant du jour. It just reinforces the cycle we are currently in.
  5. It's not, because you are conflating two wholly different things. Sawbonz is totally off the reservation and doesn't even know what I'm referring to. What we have done is layered induced obesity on top of genetic. So yes there is overlap, but it's beyond "lifestyle" at this point. It's endemic to our society, and we are exporting it worldwide. I don't have time to write a whole spiel on this tonight, but I have always found you to be one of the more thoughtful guys here, I will give you the TL;DR version of what I have been saying for a very long time. We have made calories so cheap, and in forms that are so hyper absorbable, that no normal person in our society can avoid them. It takes a high level of income independence and spare time to be able to have a chance at eating remotely properly, not to mention to actually want that. The data is very clear, we didn't all of a sudden as a people have some evolution that made us gain ridiculous amounts of weight, we deliberately chose this through policy. And, I want to stress, the bigger things I'm talking about go way beyond a bunch of overweight people. We have devalued food to such an ludicrous extent that people have disassociated with the actual meaning of food, which has lead to disastrous consequences. Food is literally what give us life, it should be the most sacred part of our society (breaking bread and whatnot), yet we outright throw away enough food every year to feed several countries!!!! Why? Because it's cheap and meaningless in our culture. Giving out skinny shots is the literal last thing we should be doing for the general population. We need to make ourselves feel the true cost of food production. I literally don't think that.
  6. Because the best practice remediation is not the same. Yes.
  7. Man, I was going to point out what you are missing, but at some point it's just too wearying to wade through the blatant logical failures. Like I said before, read what I wrote and then read what you wrote, it isn't the same thing.
  8. I know thinking isn't your strong suit, but maybe ponder what I said and look at you are saying here, which isn't the same thing.
  9. No, I mean all of it. I also support things like UBI and strong social nets so I'm not talking about making anyone go hungry. But the cost of food has become so divorced from the cost of it's production it's distorted society as a whole.
  10. I mean, I've said for 20 years food should be more expensive, not less, so we are not going to agree on this.
  11. I mean, you can post here, knock yourself out. Genetic obesity is not a common malady. Lifestyle induced obesity is rampant.
  12. Interesting way to define success. Had nothing to do with the free market though, we subsidized the shit out of it to the point of making the calories per dollar ration laughable.
  13. I have family and acquaintances that suffer from true obesity. They are also a microscopic percentage of the population. ETA: I view our mass obesity as a failure of our food distribution system and general culture btw, not personal will.
  14. Heaven forbid anyone just eat well and exercise.
  15. I mean even Helobious gets it you fuckers.
  16. Man you think this is about an election? Jesus. There's literally no recourse in the system against corporate interests. Because we made it this way, people are going to snap like this because there is literally nothing else that can be done. Politicians sure aren't doing anything. Edit: Just read what @Brisketexan wrote
  17. What fucking century are you living in holmes. Lol.
  18. Like I said, the fact that is who they liked better is even worse.
  19. Honestly this is even worse because look at who these motherfuckers decided they like better
  20. 100%, exactly why I say that. You sonofabitch.
  21. Definitely no danger of that from me! I agree though, I think for beginners it pretty important just to learn how to count. And I recommend doing it way slower than most would do it, learning to lay behind the beat is critical for feel. One album that is not remotely on the grid that would surprise some, AC/DC Back in Black. The tempo wanders massively and it sounds amazing.
