Except this was all triggered with the end of ZIRP...this all happened relatively recently. High interest rates forced corporations to actually get serious about profitability. Layoffs, price hikes, charging more for less is all related to

I feel like this applies to more than just the internet. New construction houses are crap quality. Restaurant food quality seems like it's gotten worse and much more expensive. But yes Google is probably the best example of this...type

because seed oil is cheap in hidden in almost everything cheap and processed the health effects of eating seed oil go way beyond obesity. that isn't the only thing anyone who discusses the negative health effects is talking about.

That chart clearly shows animal fat availability is way down, and increase in overall fat intake is all vegetable based not sure how your comment jives with that at all

Yeah that's absurd. Go to a fast food place and they are reusing the oil over and over again for as long as possible. Believing that the vegetable oil is in a non degraded state by the time they switch it out is naive. That is going to

The idea that someone can't or shouldn't focus on both exercise and diet is nonsense, as if you can't do both at the same time.

Yet the author insists it doesn't matter because "of course Cheetos are junk food", even though it's just a fried corn puff.

The high cholesterol scare is another thing that needs to be explored. You are operating under the assumption that raising cholesterol levels is somehow a terrible thing.

Fries fried in canola oil is very different than fries fried in tallow. The author seems to suggest that it’s all the same because “of course fries are junk food” but there is a significant health difference if you recognize that reusing se

Well the article is wrong. Median detached home sale price in Torrance is 1.275m. The $900k figure probably includes condos and is not what a house costs. https://www.redfin.com/city/20094/CA/Torrance/hou

I wonder why people think it's crazy for housing prices to go up in a short amount of time but don't think twice about the stock market going up more than that over the same time period. I think people get confused by how this is

I’m not sure where this $5500 figure came from but if you want a decent sized home in a good area with good schools there are not homes for sub $1m to be found. $1.5m is a much more realistic sale price for a modest home in a good area, and

there’s nothing “rough” about that area i live right over there. you can pick a dozen other condos in SF outside of downtown being listed today and doubt any of them are selling for much more than a decade ago if at all. this is not an unco

I have a hard time believing I'm talking to someone arguing in good faith when they say books are just like social media a few decades ago.

modern video games are much more akin to social media than games 20-30 years ago, especially internet based ones. and many have a gambling element to it which makes it even worse in some aspects.

I'm convinced kids who are in team sports end up more well adjusted as adults especially in the smartphone age. There are parents who don't put there kids in any extracurriculars and then there are parents who have their kids in s

I'm more convinced that getting kids involved in team sports is probably the best way to go, and honestly those are things are that are more common/practical in suburban environments than urban ones because sports facilities are c

I'm talking about people who already have the means to drive into midtown manhattan as is, with all the tolls and gas and monthly parking bills they're already going to pay. For these people I'm saying I do not see an extra $
