I mean, maybe check the sources yourself, they’re pretty clearly linked and nicely arranged in a doc for you right under the video if you’ve been living under a rock and unfamiliar with the creator or have some healthy doubts about the validity of the claims presented?

Maybe it’s better than pure dismissal out of your own ignorance.

It’s astounding that here I am being humble enough to link a good explainer on the topic rather than being arrogant enough to link the primary sources as if I’m an expert on the subject capable of fully interpreting multiple papers, and here you are, dismissing one of the most well-respected science communicators on the planet today as a “YouTube cartoon”.

Is this why we live in a post-truth world now, where folks with zero media literacy or critical thinking ability, think there is no difference between this and PragerU or between The Sun and The Guardian or Lemmy and Twitter? It’s all just “cartoons” or “news” innit? All just “opinions” and “views”. All just “politics bollocks” and “social media” and “content”.

And yeah I am strawmanning and projecting and whatnot, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong, it is not how fallacies work.

No wonder the country is in the fucking gutter.

P.S.

Helped you eat less

I’ve not had such problems any time recent, thank you very much Mr. Ad Hominem.

This is a good thing, I’m glad the public is accepting of this.

It’s time we move away from the Christian work ethic view of obesity as a personal and moral failing and follow the science - if you are fat, it’s mostly genetic because you are simply wired to be hungry more than your friends and these drugs fix that.

https://www.healthline.com/health/obesity/is-obesity-genetic-or-environmental#genetics

According to a 2022 clinical reviewTrusted Source, more than 500 obesity-related genes have been identified in humans.

These genes can affect body weight in many ways. They can create changesTrusted Source in insulin metabolism, inflammatory responses, blood pressure, fat deposition, and the level of circulating fat in the bloodstream. They can cause you to want to consume more energy (i.e., food) but can prevent you from using it effectively.

Without them your choice is to be miserable (with all the MH outcomes that follow this long-term like depression) and hungry all the time, or to be fat and miserable due to obesity related illness like heart disease etc.

Instead of all that, we can simply block excess hunger, a trait once probably evolutionarily crucial yet no longer useful in the world of excess.

I’m someone who was overweight all my life until I started vaping, nicotine appetite suppression changed my life, I’m now skinny and by many of my ex-partners’ description pretty fit, to be treated not as some fat slob but as a human being that’s actually pleasant and even attractive is life-changing to my mental health and self-esteem, no longer is my body some wreck beyond salvation out of the gate but something I care about and for.

I hope for the same feeling for many others may come thanks to these exciting developments.

And not to get too soapboxy, but as usual, it turns out that blaming the “sick” for the “disease” was wrong and telling people to “eat less” or “exercise more” is as nonsensical as telling someone with ADHD to simply “focus” and “create habits” instead of giving them the amphetamine they need to make up for the low levels of dopamine they have so they can do these things - or even this country’s favourite passtime of denying gender dysphoria exists and that puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries fix it with non-existant regret rates, as if simply fixing a patient’s problem with treatment is a crime.

The trick is to fit exercise into a routine.

That’s not true, again he said literally the opposite - routinely exercising makes you lose less weight, not more. If anything this would suggest that exercising at random would probably make you lose weight more, just as an unfit person taking a run gets more tired faster than someone who does it every day.

Please actually read what the comment you’re replying to says.

Exercise does not make you lose weight, only eating less does, and the reason some people eat more is because they are genetically more hungry, these meds fix this, it’s that simple.

No it really doesn’t. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSkDos2hzo

I doubt such a thing exists, but I ordered a Sofirn SC31 which has a double button press to always turn on to max brightness or a single press to turn onto the last used brightness settings, so it’s fairly simple UI and i dont really intend to use it outside of just on/off.

“Bad relations” is how you can put it and just shut down further questions.

Why is you explaining it breaking the law? Can you not mention sanctions either? RuTube is also already a thing, it started in like the earlu 2000s during the brief Russian tech boom, alongside VK, LiveJournal, Ozon, avito, mail dot ru and Ramblr which were all the same thing - copy of a western site with some changes.

Well, if paying less for avocados didn’t work why don’t you try death? Everything is permitted to be sacrificed on the altar of boomers.

This would be so good. As someone who fully switched to Firefox on Android I hate that chrome webview is a thing.

Closest without rooting is to “uninstall updates” to the chrome app in the menu which makes it “APK Stub” instead of Chrome, ans then disabling Android Webview.

It’s arbitrary but something like SELECT * FROM posts WHERE datePosted < ( currentDay() - 7) ORDER BY upvotes; doesn’t feel like an algorithm as it is now used in common parlance to me.

A simple quantitative analysis of an existing metric and (upvotes in the above super simplified example) is just not really the same thing in practice as say: multiple linear regression of hidden backend engagement metrics gathered through things like cursor movements to pick a suggested video that is predicted to optimize the best for watch time and CTR from a list of videos on a balance of personalized and generalized (through tracking trends amongst demographics) favourites topics and other qualities classified and categorised by a whole other black box involving all sorts of classifier models from text to images and so on.

Idk, I didn’t take algorithms in CS at uni, so this is just a layman’s two cents. I’m happy to be explained to why this isn’t a valid perspective.

Nah. Algorithms, especially personalized as a way of sorting a feed are just a shite idea. Maybe one of the iOS apps will add something like that but if anything Lemmy being different is a selling point. I got two friends on fedi by telling them that “it has no algorithm” which is a simplification of course but you get the gist. It also really hits home that this is not a corporate product.

Nah. The different character of the communities and their history makes them unique and special, hiding that for broad appeal is unnecessary.

No need to muddy the waters with weird client-side obfuscations, one big one almost always wins and the other gets reposts, while subscribing to both is trivial if one wishes

Yeah

They don’t care consciously, but subconsciously they’ll know and remember the time and idea was defended badly whenever it comes up, especially if their knowledge on it is a blank or close to blank slate.

If you make it entertaining and thus a source of dopamine, and even better yet very consumable - you’ve got bonafide content and then people start caring, even if it’s only for lulz.

They’ll associate your views with intelligent witty dunks and the dopamine they bring and have a favourable view of them.

That’s both the model of the “Le angry feminazis!” reaction channels of the post-gamergate world and the hbomberguys of the world, especially his earliee stuff.

I forgor 💀

We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.

You win debates for onlookers, you’re not meant to change the perspective of the person you’re debating, you’re meant to make them look like idiots so that any lurkers who quietly agree feel bad and change their viewpoint. The left lost because they weren’t willing to do this hard enough.

Yeah it would be a great place for rightoids to hunt queers and attack them on optics

His friend was too far gone to start with.
