   It's also illegal to partake in cigarettes in certain areas, even for adults. Cigarette packaging and location is also regulated. It's not like adults have unfettered access to things that harm them. It's illegal to drink and

   I argue social media is a profound risk to anyone. It's an entire industry that's made to exploit every insecurity and vulnerability within a human psyche. Nervous about vaccines? Sure, you can go to your local doctor, but in the

   Obese people can actually be pretty muscular in my experience, due to their need to heft around their size. It's their endurance that isn't there since their hearts are quite weak.

   I think this is more of an underaddressed mental health issue [compulsive hoarding]. I definitely don't think it's a modern problem in that people definitely had compulsive hoarding issues in the past, but people were generally to

   Public money for universities have actually scaled back over time. > A majority of state legislatures spent far less on public colleges and universities in 2020 than they did in 2008, an NEA analysis shows. This means colleges and univer

   I agree we shouldn't stand for shitty employers. But, especially right now, it can be hard for a dev to find a job. Especially if the dev has dependents taking up time for take home tests etc. Or if they have a visa the employer needs

   I don't think this is quite the same, because a gig worker would also have commuting costs to populations that have enough of a customer base. It would more be like you have 4 30min meetings today all with 20 minutes apart (so not enou

   I'mma tell you as an avid veggie eater: veggies are not cheap. The amount of leafy greens that will make someone full (and properly nourishing leafy veg: spinach, kale, dandelion and beet greens, etc.) isn't cheaper. Poor people a

    Actually I think the financial system doesn't function as a rigid categorization structure. I think it's more like a negotiation of resource management. Things like leverage and political power apply here in ways that cause the ru

    Sure, and in the meantime an established, talented DM will now have to struggle harder to eat because the established institutions no longer support their work. That's all I'm saying. Forcing titans of an industry to go back to st

    Could you share your understanding please? I can't quite wrap my head around registering thanking as apologizing.

    I never said it's the same quality. I said why hire a famous DM to write the next D&D campaign book(s) if an AI can do it? This means the D&D sales/marketing/executive staff decide they're perfectly okay with med

    When you're that obese you're well beyond personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is enjoying a big thanksgiving dinner and then eating light for the next week or so, or eating some salads for a bit to have a hot girl sum

    Statistically, if a person is so obese for so long they get T2D, they are not going to go into remission just from googling weight loss or following whatever they find on the internet (doubly so if they fall into some crank Liver King style

    If you're that fat you're statistically unlikely to lose weight without medical intervention of some sort, even something as basic as talking to a fucking nutritionist about portion sizes.

    Most health insurance doesn't cover weight loss treatment without a condition like T2D, heart issues, etc. If you're fat enough that it's damaging your health you're extremely unlikely to be able to lose it without signi

    Frankly even that 1% will start to feel squeezed out by AI. Why hire a famous DM to write the next D&D campaign book(s) if you can get AI to do it? That's one more income stream lost, plus the opportunity for that writer to make mo
