Mina don’t be sad. There. There. I help make it better!
I’m a faithful Lebatard slappy and I have no idea what is going on here
Her head went the wrong way. Pretty girl sad make me sad. Don’t be sad pretty girl.

Even where you can get past the inherent problems with observational studies, confounding variables, etc etc and do a study that is actually well-designed, there’s the fundamental problem that it is bullshit that you can come up with a result that applies uniformly across human populations. It’s like doing a study to find out what sport human beings are most suited to playing. In that case it’s blindingly obvious that the answer is “it’s different for different people” but that’s also the correct answer for nutrition. Peoples bodies work in different ways.
People scoff at things like paleo or holistic health and sometimes it’s deserved (paleo proponents tend to be idiotically dogmatic) but I’m not convinced that expecting to solve the problem of healthy living with a reductionist approach isn’t even more ludicrous.
Right but that’s a fairly broad, holistic conclusion. With the exception of some clear culprits like trans fats and nitrates/nitrites, which are a small part of the overall problem, nutrition scientists can’t really explain what exactly the problem is with processed foods. Also, “avoid processed foods” has been core advice from naturopathic types from way back before “nutrition scientists” were telling everyone to replace butter with trans-fat containing margarine and that pasta was a healthy meal.

I’m sure a lot of it has to do with what you grew up with. Argentinians feed their kids beef from like 1 year old (or whatever is ridiculous, I don’t know babies). The whole Lewis and Clark expedition got sick on roots that the Indians ate all their lives. Etc.
But then you’ll get the whooping cough.
(Big dairy had it out for margerin in the 1940s, before anyone had heard of trans fats)
I went into a Wendy’s to use the bathroom because something was in my eye and it was stinging really badly. Like tears were pouring down my face. When I got out of the bathroom I decided that I would get a little Frosty. I asked for the smallest Frosty and the person behind the counter gave it to me for free. I’m not sure but I think they might have done that because they thought I was crying and they felt bad for me.

They probably thought you had coronavirus and just wanted you to go away as fast as possible w/o having to handle your money.

To be fair, the FB post is far more effective at dealing with this shit. By a lot
Sure, “Why not both?” is a legitimate question.
However, I’d say that if someone is that unabashedly racist, there is a non-trivial chance that someone is getting shot in a confrontation.
I hate confrontation when I’m not involved. If it gets bad enough and I’m really needed I’ll intervene. But until that threshold I just want to crawl in a hole until it goes away.
And yeah - history is littered with interveners who got stabbed. Better make sure the situation really needs it.
Sweet, now I know a trick to getting free frosties.

A while back in the early 2000 i was in charge of a group of about ten college students pulling and punching down cat5 wire. My little speech to them when they started was do your work and keep my ass out of trouble and i dont care what else you do. Sleep, play ping pong, watch TV, whatever.
The funny thing was my group got stuff done to the point it made some of the other teams look pretty bad both in the amount and quality of the work. My supervisor would even ask how i got the kids to work so hard. I never gave the real answer…

We need widespread biometrics or something. This old school password stuff isn’t working, and I’m not gonna use some novel password on every rando site I sign up for.

Use the same short pw for rando sites you don’t care about (ie most of your sites) and for no others.
How many bank accounts/email addresses does anyone need?
Use something like LastPass and all you have to remember is your master password and it’ll generate complicated passwords and remember them for you.
Is some hacker pulling your password out of thousands that they hacked, figuring out which other sites you used it at and doing bad things even a thing?
Chrome does this out of the box now. It stashes the passwords in your Google account.
Absolutely. I had $14,000 stolen from this once (I recovered $8,800 of it). After that I never reused passwords for important stuff but I did reuse them for random shit I didn’t care about, and even then I’ve had my Netflix and Reddit accounts temporarily compromised for the same reason.
Not that I’m aware of. I do use custom passwords for financial accounts and most “important” sites, like spotify, amazon, and netflix have some additional security. No one has hacked into my Westlaw account to do legal research.
I use Lastpass but don’t use its custom password suggestions. The posted screenshot is from a Google “audit” of compromised passwords.
