Who would you say should have more control over your computer: 1. The operating system provider 2. A video game company

You can come up with measures for it and then watch them, that’s for sure.

You’ve been eating the wrong things all your life. Animals aren’t obese in the wild, nor would you be if you didn’t eat slop.

I went through a phase of wanting the most possible screen estate to do sick multi tasking gimmicks like having chats, documentation, code editor, and prototype open at once. It was glorious, a 5k2k ultrawide monitor filled to the brim with

Let me restate this: your body doesn’t need fiber or carbs for any essential process. You don’t need ANY carbs or fiber throughout your life.

I don’t research the topic for a living, so I don’t know — I’ve read none of the studies. If the conclusion that comes out of the other end of the pipeline is that we should avoid eating the things we’ve eaten for millions of years, it’s fa

If you’ve played the game RuneScape, you know well that some players accomplish feats that are hard to comprehend. You have people gaining billions of experience points or tens of thousands of boss kills in the same amount of calendar days

For a fun and eye-opening experiment, you can try eating less than 20% of your daily calories from carbs. For, say, a month. For added fun, you can try to eat “too many calories” as well. After, you can report to me how successful you were

Having spent two years working for a paper company, marketing had a lot of work trying to get rid of the public perception that recycled paper is good. It takes a lot more energy to deink and treat recycled paper than manufacturing from fre

You should point out that weak evidence is on the side of those things. Frankly, the number of carbs and fiber you need throughout your life is 0.

Frankly, you can get everything you need from one food source. Meat.

Meta-analyses are a cool way to perform a garbage in, garbage out exercise.

What? Your diet is by far the most important part of your health. You can be sedentary and still remain healthy if you eat the right things. We’re good survivors for sure, but try eating only deep fried donuts for a year and let me know how

The tone is snarky and condescending, which already means it can't be taken seriously. Your initial comment struggles with the same issue to a lesser extent.

To me the popular vote is irrelevant and in my original post I meant the winner, despite saying the majority which you interpreted to mean “more than 50% of the population of the US”. We have a system in place to counterbalance the fact tha

The essay you linked to reads an awful lot more like a joke than the article in the OP. To me it’s no secret that the mainstream nutrition science is a joke. The latest Nordic nutrition guidelines I’ve heard of recommend the same amount of

For me that would just be another reason to avoid the person and spend the time instead with people who are easier to get along with. That doesn’t make me a dick, I just have a limited number of hours on the clock and energy to spare.

We understand that your disability is much worse than the rest of us. Everyone else should stop what they’re doing to accommodate your severe disability.

I’d wait for the results of this study to be expanded upon in any case before claiming causality. I didn’t read the study but I can think of half a dozen reasons why the claim in the article wouldn’t mean higher red meat intake -> higher

There are plenty of benefits to eating red meat. It’s one of if not the most nutritious food we know of.

Your last sentence isn’t grounded in reality. Negatively impacting the lives of millions of people is less ethical than negatively impacting the lives of a few.

We can easily bring the meta level down one more step to conclude that given the editorial staff are individuals with different beliefs, this dictates that they’re impartial to the extent of the (weighted) average of their beliefs. I’d argu

You’re thinking about this too hard. It’s a definitional question. If you have two candidates and you endorse one of them, you’re de facto partial with nothing else playing any role in the definition.

You perfectly summarise my relationship with food, although I’ve never taken any appetite suppressants. I spent my early adulthood competing in bodybuilding, and ever since I can’t really treat food as entertainment. I cherish every meal I

I agree that you should be grateful for each moment you spend on this planet. I don’t agree that you’re not allowed to be proud of the condition you spend those moments in.

If you want to affect the decision making of the majority, the burden of proof is on you. Otherwise, your best option is to boycott.
