When you say this do you mean "we have to look for the underlying causes of calorie imbalance" or do you mean "the human body is capable of materializing mass out of nothing"? I can't imagine someone saying "th

I think you misread me? I said "while people like those things" Maybe you read "white people like those things"?

Appetite differences are almost certainly the primary factor in why some people get heavy and others don't, but that isn't inconsistent with CICO at all.

I think they mean: the studies showing bad outcomes from waking up 'kids' early are specifically about teenagers. Little kids get up very early, and the schedules of parents have to account for this.

Basically, I don't want anything I own to supervise me on behalf of 3rd parties, no matter how benevolent.

I don't think "fine contemporary art" is the only kind people pay for. I'm not a visual artist, but just off the top of my head, illustrations in books, magazines, and ads, as well as a lot of video game art, might be pr

I think that would be more analogous to a situation where KF's traffic dwindles to nothing because no one wants to visit. DDoS is more of a heckler's veto.

"...pressure their respective governments to figure out what should be done, systematically, about hate speech on the internet." Should be done by whom? If you mean "done by the government," then in the US at least the a

"By using hulu at all you're explicitly opting into reality." I pay for the ad-free tier. I guess you can "opt out of reality" after all. And there's no real reason why a company can't exclude specific typ
