Why have a whole phrase of Japan glazer when we already have weeb?

Still cute, though.

The panels just before:

It is kinda hard to imagine an effective protest in America given some that have happened and the results. The LA riots back in 92 did not solve the problems that lead to the George Floyd protests that didn’t solve the problems that lead to the anti-ICE protests. In 92 there were over a thousand buildings burned down.

Anybody got any recommendations for romance that is modern earth adults that communicate and also have sex (doesn’t need to be illustrated, just don’t want them to spend 4 volumes trying to hold hands)?

Sweat and Soap is one I enjoyed as an example.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but compared to the book it cut down on the science and engineering and amped up the emotion, humor, and action. But that fits the medium. There were a lot of things skipped over or not done in as much detail, like why the science officers were together in violation of protocol. I think the astrophoge drive looked nifty, but they explained the whole thing in under 30 seconds.

And to be rich just make more money than you spend. True if you ignore a bunch of things. And useless.

If it’s useful for weight loss universally, please provide evidence. All I’m asking for is a study that shows saying the same thing over and over out of context has made anybody lose any weight. If it’s such a bulletproof concept, than should be easy. If you can’t do that, then your idea sucks.

As somebody that uses valkey, I’m happy there’s drama.

So you think a single phrase can encompass something useful in such a complex system? Is it better to be technically true or actually useful?

Newton’s second law is force is equal to mass times acceleration. You’re probably wrong about some other things, too.

Yeah, I want evidence that’s weight loss is as simple as repeating that phrase that without understanding it. I don’t think people quoting it a) know what it means b) understand biology, psychology, hormones, disease. I’m tired of idiots going unchallenged on their dumb ideas.

We are talking about different things. I’m talking about evidence and they’re not.

and it is.

You say in your very next line people stop doing it and that’s why it doesn’t work. Yes. These interventions are not sustainable. If that’s your gotcha, that people can’t stay on them but crash dieting, starvation, disordered eating, etc is a reasonable idea, then that’s a lazy strawman. If you don’t have a scientific study to back up that dieting works for actual people, please shut up. I’m really sick of people proping up bullshit without ever trying to figure out if it’s true. If you can’t find evidence of a diet that actual people can do that results in a 10% loss over 2 years for even a third of the participants, then it’s time to update what you think. Short of surgery, nothing works long term for weight loss. Even Ozempic has to be taken for as long as you want the weight off, it stops working for some people after 6 months to a year, and about 75% of people stop taking it within two years.

So couldn’t find one?

Go find me a study that backs up your truth. Easy parameters, find one that shows a 10% reduction in body mass that is sustainable for two years by a quarter of the participants. Otherwise you’re just spouting unscientific crap out of ignorance and should really just not speak on topics you don’t know anything about.

Your oversimplification of complex biological processes is mindbogglingly ignorant. Please find a study that shows a diet that produces results that are over a 10% reduction in body mass and with results that last for over two years. If you can’t do even that miniscule baseline, if you can’t find one diet that has actual scientific macking, please stfu about subjects you know next to nothing about and have no evidence for. I know it’s really difficult for you to understand concepts that can’t be boiled down to a single sentence, but let’s try this one time, okay?

Me, too.

I liked it. Went in thinking it was a martial arts movie.

Late so the hucows can do the whole guns to butter thing. Or swords to cowshares.

The people over at feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism might like this, too.
