Childhood disrupted: is the internet damaging young people’s development?

Gee, I wonder why people still break the law?!
Sounds like narcissistic tendencies, when you stop feeding them they come back.
Had an ex like this too, the moment I called her bluff and said I was going to grab boxes to move out she changed her tune since the power dynamic shifted. Then she wrapped the conversation around how we should try again and it wasn't that big of a deal what I'd done, etc.
Most of them just don't want to admit anything they've ever said was wrong so the perspective changes and gaslighting starts to creep in.
As if I don't know about it already.
Wait until you learn about British colonialism.
If the calories burned are greater than those I can consume to maintain my body weight (currently about 3000kcal/day) then yes it will make me lose weight.
Also yes it is cardio, or it wouldn't be good exercise. It's not HIIT or running, but it consumes energy and calories.
Do you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of calories in versus calories out? If my body needs more calories than I'm eating it will harvest muscle to do so. I've been lifting weights for over a decade and diet is just as big of a factor in gaining muscle versus lifting itself, this isn't something new to me.
Occasionally you'll meet someone who just can't see you as a full adult, if that makes sense. Even in a professional environment I've had people try to tell me they aren't convinced of my abilities until someone who I work with confirms what I'm saying, with no other logical reason to mistrust my claims outside of identifying height instinctually with good moral standing or intelligence.
It's mostly in the dating world though, thankfully it usually presents itself as an issue immediately and you can just use it as a sort of filter. The women who truly don't care are rare but at least you know they're cool with it immediately.
I really wish they'd hired someone shorter for the role, I understand they want their actors to all be similar in height for close up shots and we've culturally adopted the idea that the good guys are always 6' tall and only villains are short, but it would have been nice to see Wolverine accurately represented.
It wasn't really always like this, in modern Trek they don't have any ideals to aspire to, they just do what they have to. In DS9 you had Captain Sisko breaking his back trying to convince himself that letting Garak kill a Romulan diplomat to get them on the alpha quadrant's side was worth it.
increasing your calories burned without excess hunger or fatigue
That's my point, your goals for exercise are to burn more calories, calories that my body needs to rebuild muscle. If I do more cardio I have to eat more food to maintain my muscle mass. I'm not worried about too many I'm worried about having too few.
It's unfortunate that it's steps and not based on calories or something, I do cardio but mostly resistance training. Can't afford to lose gains or have to increase my food intake.
Growing will also bring an increased attack surface and justification for writing malware for Linux due to market adoption.
It's not all good, there is going to be an increased security vulnerability along with it.
I'm sorry but I completely disagree, the state of current affairs is a direct result of the private ownership of land with inefficient tax systems intended to staunch the flow of blood like a bandaid over a gushing artery.
Land and natural resources were not created by anyone and cannot be justified as being owned by anyone. The way we would represent public ownership of natural resources via capitalism would be a tax on the use of said resources, a rent paid to society for being allowed exclusive use of it.
I'm not advocating for socialism or communism which is where your issues regarding public ownership of land stem from, capitalism works just fine as long as the correct institutions are being taxed in an efficient manner. The LVT would work well because it doesn't allow land to just sit around unused. You either fulfill a direct supply need for a market or you sell it to someone who will do so. Not only does that put market direction and supply back into the domain of the consumer who's needs in terms of say... Housing are being left unfulfilled, but would incentivize the efficient use of land and help create something other than single family homes that most of society doesn't need and can't afford.
It also keeps the wealthy from dodging taxes, because it wouldn't be possible to hide the amount of land your businesses use the same way you can take stock options instead of an income or use tax haven bank accounts and deflect most of your tax burden. It also frees up the worker and their employer from taxes while putting the tax directly onto the people who provide the least value in the chain and derive the most wealth from that parasitic action, landholders. Individuals who own a couple houses aren't the target, we are talking primarily about businesses that take up hundreds of thousands of acres for manufacturing and who's owners possess more wealth than the rest of the nation combined.
As for your insinuation that reducing wealth doesn't equal more wealth for others, that's correct. However, the entire idea of wages deriving from capital and the malthusian doctrine are both fundamentally flawed and have lead to the idea that there has to be poverty, there has to be this significant of a class divide. It's just the laws of the universe, can't do anything about it! We have never seen the outcome of a society that taxes in this manner and provides services like an automated capitalist economy which uses land tax to facilitate a UBI, which is the inevitable endgame of modern LLM and robotics technology. If we don't plan for that by deciding now that land is publically owned and "rented" from society via tax then we are going to see continual wealth disparity and our Western cities are going to start looking a lot more like India with obscene wealth next to miles of homeless camps. Those that own the land and the capital will reduce our workforce while sucking up the increased profit margins and the eventual reality will be a few trillionaires alongside millions of destitute and starving people who don't have jobs to justify their existence. Only we won't have the ability to drag them into the street and cut off their heads like the French revolution, because they'll be living in underground bunkers on unmarked islands or in space stations at the top of the gravity well. Untouchable.
The human race is fucked, these issues were called out over a century ago and we might have gotten through to people, but because an entire generation of Westerners thinks public ownership of anything is LITERALLY COMMUNISM even when it's in a capitalist economy, we will just see the issue get worse as the middle class gets nuked into oblivion.
Because it's the easiest way to fulfill a niche while doing absolutely nothing that requires effort.
Content wise it's the same as anything else, they just change the title and the actors say "step bro" like ten times in the intro and then it's just normal porn.
Funny cause Henry George keeps hitting the nail on the head from over a century ago.
I wish we called them VI's. It was a good distinction in their ability.
Though honestly I think our AI is more advanced in conversation than a VI in ME.
Wine mom level meme, good things it's Lemmy shit post.
Yeah, not using it isn't going to help you when the bottom line is all people care about.
It might take junior dev roles, and turn senior dev into QA, but that skillset will be key moving forward if that happens. You're only shooting yourself in the foot by refusing to integrate it into your work flows, even if it's just as an assistant/troubleshooting aid.

"Good'evening"
I wonder if it has anything to do with needing to be a millionaire to support a family and the earning potential being locked away under skyrocketing costs of education.
When people have no hope for a future and start realizing that their ability to succeed is being placed behind wealth tests, they give up. When an entire generation gives up you see it in the population decline. Most people don't want to start a family knowing they can't afford it, so they just refuse to. They'd rather just sit around and do as little as possible since doing as much as possible will not reward them.
This situation has been in the making since at least the 1970-80's but people have been preaching about self correcting markets and nonsense like trickle down economics to cover for the inevitable collapse due to an entire generation+ realizing they're totally fucked with no hope of it getting better outside of a full political overhaul that won't happen.
