Capitalism is the only system that seems to work at all under the realization that society itself will never have a moral compass. Outside of small communes, any society that heavily relies on trust doesn't work. That's not to say

Sorry what value does a third party showroom provide that a direct showroom wouldn't? And currently car companies compete with each other. If one saw third party showrooms as something the consumer wants, then they would continue doing

You want to directly fine low level employees for the actions of execs? My god, no. That's such an evil idea. They're fined indirectly with stock prices already, but man is your idea really bad.

I can't find exact distributions, but the average ago for nurses and the average age for doctors are the same. Around 51 years old. Seems like poor argument to use. At the end of the day, doctors and medical researchers are producing t

Most groups of people are susceptible to misinformation. I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a bias among nurses, who know enough to be in the medical field, but use that confidence to overestimate their ability to make medica

If "talking point" is getting us tripped up here, maybe "convenient excuse spread mostly to help the vaccine hesitant continue to not get the vaccine" would be a better phrase. I'm not an English major here. Just tr

This is just a talking point coming from people who don't want to get the vaccination. Those people who don't want to get the vaccination largely exist because of misinformation, not because of any real risk (read: very very very

There are a massive amount of things between "society collapsing" and "nothing bad ever happens" where the number in your bank account matters greatly. You have unexpected huge medical expenses. You are no longer able to

Yup. But at the same time, in the current environment, the person who applies to 100 places will more often be better off than the person who applies to 10 places. If you need a job, you gotta play the game. Mass applying is the current met

Just a reminder that most requirements on job postings can be ignored. You can still apply and get through pretty often if you don't fit the requirements perfectly. There's almost no downside to applying.

Wait so you basically eat once a week? Fast 3 days, eat 1 day, fast 3 days? There's no way that's healthy, especially longer term.

1. Count your calories the best you can. Apps like MyFitnessPal help. 2. Weigh yourself every day. 3. After 2 weeks, raise or lower your calorie budget depending on how much weight you've lost. Look at averages, not daily weight. 4. Re

Makes it easier, sure, but not absolutely necessary. I regularly have alcohol when I'm cutting weight. It just gets counted towards my calorie budget. I do find non-diet soda to be completely wasted calories though. Just not worth it.

Most of getting a six-pack is losing weight. What value-add do you provide that counting my calories myself on a free app doesn't do? MyFitnessPal is free.

Surely being in a very populated area of the park lessens the chance greatly. Which would mean 1 in 2.7 million visits isn't accurate for what they would be doing.

Probably better phrased as: You charge what people are willing to pay, not how much you think your product is worth.

If you're calling 1500 a day a crash diet, making up numbers, and think education is a pointless endeavor, then I can't continue this conversation.

IF is CICO. CICO does not mean counting calories. Counting calories is just the most direct diet. IF and Keto end up doing the same thing, just differently (and it's potentially easier for some).

Not only is this post wildly incorrect, you also seem to have just given up with the populous? I lose around 2 lbs per week at 1500 calories/day. This is pretty normal. 120lbs would be 60 weeks of that. Little over a year. You are comp

CICO doesn't mean that every diet that works counts calories. It means that all diets require the calories you consume to be lower than the calories you burn. Including keto. Can some diets impact how many calories you burn? Sure. Not

What do you mean by your distain for food package nutrition labels? In the US it's tightly controlled. The only thing I can think of (calories wise) is that people only look at the per-serving calories and not the per-package calories.
