I am reconsidering by thinking of moving out of the country lmao

Not true

They're trying to add child labor back and reducing retirement funds so people work younger and older

The cogs must turn for shareholder value /s

Thats accurate. Carbohydrates are much more easily broken down to its simple states, while proteins require more to be broken down to amino acids, so it makes you feel full longer. Fibers are also another way to stay feeling full. They're not digestible, so it takes up space and makes you feel full without adding calories.

The easiest way to boil down weight loss is calories in calories out. If you are in a surplus, you will in most cases gain weight (with some deviance based on genetics and other bodily factors). Lots of carbs is fine if you have a lot of calories out. European people usually have walkable cities, and the infrastructure there promotes lots of calories out on a day to day basis. America is a lot more car centric. The average american has less calories out because walking/cycling is uncommon in most of the US. Coupled with the standard caloric dense american food, it's easy to see how we are struggling with an obesity problem.

Low carb is just one way to cut down on how many calories you intake. Nothing wrong with it, and there are obviously many other ways to go about it.

Your bug sounds pretty strong, can I fight it?

In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time

Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game

Neat list, but imo photoshop is closer to being called a photomanipulation/image editor than photography. lightroom is the more dedicated photography software.

Also I wouldn't call paint.net an alternative to photoshop. I love paint.net but its a relatively simple image editor and its functionally limited even with plugins.

Stir fried asian cauliflower is so good. My mom made it a lot growing up and it's the right amount of crunch and flavor

I don't know if you could substitute asian cauliflower with the more western variants though.

Honestly I'd rather money be wasted on golf than dismantling the entire US

Miku goat is not real it can't hurt you

Miku goat:

I miss in n out but at least my current state has a cheap burger joint. Its not as good but the cheapest option is like 2.50 which im not sure how that's financially possible tbh

I genuinely can't believe they took away the microsd slot from modern phones

I even pre bought a card before getting my new phone because I just assumed it'd have the slot. Should've done more research i guess

For the number folks:

The most respondents cited high inflation (54%), Social Security not providing as much financial support as they need (43%), and high taxes (43%). Boomers (61%) were more likely than millennials (56%) or Gen Xers (55%) to say high inflation contributed to their fear of running out of money.

But this fear is more prominent among Gen Xers (70%) who are in their 40s and 50s and fast approaching retirement and millennials (66%) than boomers (61%) who are over 60 and many have already retired.

Asian/Asian American respondents (34%) were more likely to have discussed this fear than white (22%), Black/African American (28%), and Hispanic (25%) respondents.

Interestingly no mention of Gen Z, who I guess is just starting their careers so might be why?

Though I'd imagine the doom and gloom is just as high for Gen Z if not more.

Insecurity exacerbated by the rise of social media. It's really easy for impressionable teens (not just them, but they are the most vulnerable group) to be affected directly by the consequences of social media. Toxic masculinity allows them to fall into the andrew tate trap because it tells them that this is the easy solution to the insecurities they face. I'd argue covid also made this problem worse as well

I really like Darrell's licorice

Kinda expensive though and really hard to not eat the whole bag

I carry cash in small amounts because some restaurants prefer cash to avoid the credit card fee

Ah but with the dollar tumbling, US companies will raise prices for the rest of us peasants to make sure profits are never harmed

Hahaha I'll never own a house lmao

Duck tax

Where-wolf (werewolf)

The joke is that the clinician is asking where they got bit, but the patient understands it as asking if it was a werewolf or not.

It's already been discussed on environmental impact in another comment, but even beyond that, AI does not mean slop. Sure, the majority is low quality slop, but legitimate use of AI is possible. It's a tool at the end of the day, and imo fully usable within reason. People just really like shitting on AI because they think all of it is slop.

Take for example the parody music video I sent. For a normal person, getting the budget to create that with real voice actors would probably be around the thousands/tens of thousands. The other alternatives would be voice stitching, which ends up being a distinct style (think tf2 voice chops) or hiring cheap voice actors who will 99% not be able to replicate a character's voice like that. In short, a creation simply only possible by AI.

Another one would be the scooby doo ai voice incident. The creator was a normal student, and instead of using text2speech or subtitles, used AI to at least make his animation sound similar to the characters. He still put in effort, it was a good animation, but he was bullied by the original voice actor for the horrible practice of .... being too broke to afford an actual voice actor.

AI does not have to be so black and white. I get the sentiment around hating AI, hell I vehemently hate corporations trying to stuff ai in everything, but not all usage must be considered bad.
