My understanding is that nutrition lags behind other sciences add is significantly impacted by the replication crisis. In this, much public health messaging lacks credibility. Perhaps the best advice to “the people” is to encourage them to

What bothers me most is not the governance and those who drive the horrible system. What bothers me most are the people down below. I used to dismiss them as stupid, but now I think, deep down, most people don’t actually want freedom. They

WHO is at its heart a hoi peloi control tool. I detest it.

Absurd indeed, and sad.

I find it curious that I earned -2 points. Perhaps my points in the post were too pointed for some people. That, or some people really love civics theatre.

This sort of citizen engagement is cute, naïve and ultimately pointless. Where I live in the US the major landowner(s) and local billionaire(s) ultimately controls these things. I’m not being sarcastic.

But seriously, why is it that mainstream press avoid reporting on these kinds of situations / movements? I assume they run risk of retribution if they do?

Why won't Apple allow a system-level "stop Bluetooth auto-play" switch?

The Abbey is often buzzing until 2am. Food served after midnight, too.

Free fares would significantly increase ridership, no?

If only they’d make the T fare free and run more frequently and later into the night. The C line in Brookline has the potential to be extremely convenient, but at present most of the time it’s easier to take an Uber, or drive.

After looking up the author on LinkedIn, I can’t understand why her output is being discussed here.

Way cool! Also, La Crosse! I have family there. I’ll stop by one of these days.

The (apparently) unchangeable categories of “US” and “World” is extremely irritating to me. May I suggest you at least categorise by continent?

What counts as a “disorder” is often not based on empirical evidence but on what is determined as undesirable, maladaptive, or outside the social norm…by Americans. The DSM in many ways represents the worst of so-called social science.

A shame o3 isn’t included here. Hopefully that will change. In my usage, GPT-5 is a step backward.

This contains a level of bias not befitting HN: A political article that presumes a governance of ‘baddies’ vs ‘goodies’. His analysis is not necessarily wrong, it’s only 50% complete. It wouldn’t be hard for him to complete it; fundamental

I suspect our experiences are vastly different, thus a difficulty in communication.

I get the sense that by pleasure you’re referring simply to orgasm during sex itself? Again, that is part of the problem. As for religion, I believe your view is in fact rooted in religion which strategically and historically segmented the

I find it interesting you suggest that pleasure be separated from reproduction in a thread about encouraging reproduction.
54.
by vjulian 1y ago
That you’re focusing on “reproduction” and factoring out the pleasure of sex is a vestige of religion and speaks to the very heart of the problem.

Sex was great back then? For women? Gays? Who? The point you make is backward-looking. I suggest we as a culture look forward instead.
56.
by vjulian 1y ago
How’s that working out? Overbearing control over sex is not only unnecessary, it’s the problem. It’s also so exceptionally culturally ingrained, people immediately and emotionally come to its defence.

That time period is so markedly different from ours, the comparison is useless.

What we need are 25/30+ year-olds who are completely at ease with sex, who have no hang-ups, and who know how to form strong relationships because they’ve been doing it and having sex freely since they were teenagers. Instead, we have

I find it hard to discern whether your post is sarcasm. Assuming it’s not, I’m surprised that someone is so cheerfully and voluntarily paying an extra fiat to the virtual landowner.

It’s been painted as a cult, but many mainstream businesses could be painted as cults. Here, the business owners blundered by hiring the wrong employees. It’s like hiring hospital staff who would traumatised by the sight of blood and, as th
