Redux is not a new pattern. The pattern is many decades old. The reason we use it now is because computers have become fast enough that it's okay now. Nobody thinks this is a performant pattern; it's only "new" because o

At the levels most people will be dieting, around 500 calorie deficit per day or less, you will wipe out an entire week of dieting with one cheat meal. This is how people stay fat. Cheat meals are idiotic and unsustainable. Just stop eating

Cutting yes, but note that cutting involves a very high protein diet in conjunction with continuing to lift weights. If a bodybuilder/powerlifter just stops eating and lifting, or even just stops eating, they will lose a large amount o

We can't derive nutrition from wood or plastic. We derive excellent nutrition from meat, because we have the requisite enzymes. That is the adaptation.

Somehow I remain skeptical that the dairy (and meat) that humans have been eating for literally tens of thousands of years is causing depression and widespread health concerns. I think it's a wee bit more likely that when you're m

There is no actual proof that long covid exists as something distinct from normal virus recovery. There is no test for it, and people manage to contract it without having covid at all, shockingly. All we have are anecdotal reports that conf

If you need six months of expenses, you likely got laid off, which means your stocks are likely tanking as well, and it takes longer to get a new job. A cash or bonds emergency fund is perfectly logical. Six months isn't even that much

When you take this to its conclusion, you either read these forums for only novelty and political opinion, like I've come to, or you just get off the forum. Being an expert in a few things is not good for ones own entertainment

A lot of cultures, but not really Japan. I lived in Japan for about 3 years, and went on many dates. It is common and normal. Japan has problems with its men, not with importing culture

37 is violent crime. When you sort by property crime, the type of crime I wrote in my post, it is number 4. Maybe consider that you didn't read the source carefully for your own personal reasons?

One of the highest property crime rates in the country is blowing it out of proportion? It's factually, actually, truly a crime ridden shithole; as much of one as a US city can be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis

You can't just leak anything you want and claim you're a whistleblower. Whistleblower protection is for leaking illegal actions, not for posting a petition that you don't like some executives.

I disagree with most of the comments here; this tweet chain was mostly fine. It seems like the biggest problem was not the petition, but the leak. Unnecessarily tarnishing the company reputation publicly would piss off any CEO. If this same

You don't make progress. Unless you're in a position to gain power, what you do is you have six to ten children, raise them on the homestead, and hope that in a few generations they can begin to fix some things. That, or violent r

Once you experience a normal level of testosterone, you would not consider for a moment returning to "baseline". The commitment would be like your commitment to having a roof.

Testosterone has been declining in the population for decades. The reference levels for "normal" 20 year old now include what were, 60 years ago, levels considered too low for a ~60 year old man. It's not an exaggeration to

The working class is absolutely sitting on Twitter and complaining. It's sad that you view advice to improve yourself as a toxic "fuck you". Is your locus of control so far externalized?
