There needs to be a lot more studies on obesity and why it’s gone up so much. I don’t buy the “more sedentary lifestyle” argument. Our mobility hasn’t changed THAT much in the last 50 years, at least not enough to explain the absolutely skyrocketing cases of obesity.

There’s a big link between poverty and obesity. People in poverty tend to be more active due to more physically demanding jobs, so it feels like the cause has to be from cheap food. While a lot of people might immediately look to high fructose corn syrup, I’m not sure it’s that simple. Obesity rates are rising even in places that don’t use HFCS in everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some additive or preservative that started to get heavily used in the last few decades that’s had horrible, unintended consequences.

I’ve been pretty happy with YouTube music. I got legacied in due to Google Music shutting down and thought I would hate it, but I’ve had zero complaints. Plus, it comes with free YouTube Premium, so I haven’t seen an ad in years.

There is hope: we can cut our carbon emissions that are causing the warming.

Maybe 25 years ago. It’s too late now. There is no hope. We could stop 100% of emissions tomorrow and it would change nothing. We’ve entered the runaway train scenario.

It’s amazing how all these countries set weak goal

It’s can kicking. Make a promise for something 25 years in the future. Who cares if the country can’t meet it? You’ll likely be out of office or retired by that point. That’s the next person’s problem.

Bad summary this time lol

Are you suggesting there was even the remotest possibility that Ukraine was going to invade Russia? Cuz I’ve heard some dumbass takes, but my God.

I notice none of those are located in the area labeled Russian Federation.

I’m sorry no. Every time someone tries to say “oh well Russia was just pressured by NATO” that’s all they leave it at.

How?

No really, explain. Explain how the only option for Russia was to invade their neighboring country and steal land. What negative effects would Russia be feeling right now if they hadn’t invaded Ukraine?

“Well NATO was pushing up against their borders”

So fucking what?! Just because your country is so shitty that your neighbors choose to ally with someone else is not an excuse to invade them!

So if you’re anti-war, why do you support Russia who started the war and has shown they are adamantly pro-war?

Most cloth contains plastic these days, so yes.

But if you don’t pre-order, they might run out of digital copies! /s

Most of the things on your list you can’t get if you’re undocumented.

Depends on the room. Anyone here posting from the DMZ?

Ah yes, why don’t they just use those vague programs you alluded to?

I’m sure you can tell all of us what those programs are and how easy they are to be eligible/apply through. Right? I mean certainly you know what these programs are and wouldn’t just be assuming they’re in place and functional. After all, a blatant assumption like that would make you an utter jackass if it turned out those programs weren’t actually available for everyone or were needlessly restrictive/difficult.

crickets

I’m not surprised there are no comments yet. The Putin apologists don’t like it when factual numbers are posted. It’s hard to ignore or argue against math.

Again, those happen commonly in wildfires. Firefighters have to regularly watch for them. It’s not some mythical event.

Ah a cutscene. Let me put my controller down, grab my drink an-

“PUSH ‘A’, MOTHERFUCKER! DO IT NOW! DO IT! Aww, you fucked it up. Way to go idiot! Why did you think you could relax for even a moment?”

Let me give you a hypothetical that’s close to reality. Say an artist gets very popular, but doesn’t want their art used to teach AI. Let’s even say there’s even legislation that prevents all this artist’s work from being used in AI.

Now what if someone else hires a bunch of cheap human artists to produce works in a style similar to the original artist, and then uses those works to feed the AI model? Would that still be stolen art? And if so, why? And if not, what is this extra degree of separation changing? The original artist is still not getting paid and the AI is still producing works based on their style.
