3131s··on Windows Refund Day (1999)
What's that supposed to mean. How do you think I look?
3131s··on Fake Amazon reviews 'being sold in bulk' online
The US needs public identity services which large platforms like Amazon can be made to integrate with.

In this case the idea would be to link accounts on Amazon with these services, so that users can filter only by reviews written by individuals that have gone through the necessary steps to verify their identity more concretely. Government should step in here, not necessarily as the only provider of these services, but as an alternative to the current insecure and inefficient model of doing this all ad hoc across any number of companies individually.

3131s··on The US Is Seeing a Spike in Anti-Asian Hate Crimes
All ethnicities go to war with each other in LA, it's such a hell hole. Certain Mexican gangs in the 90s were targeting blacks with extreme violence, not to say that it doesn't go both ways. Still to this day there is a lot of tension between Sureno gangs and Black gangs.

> Sprinters are very much malnourished to keep weight to a minimum.

This is NOT how any professional sprinter trains. Due to the nature of the exercise and the massive caloric expenditure that happens during sprinting, the mindset is more about trying to fit in in as much food as possible (while keeping to reasonable macro-nutrient ratios) rather than attempting to "keep weight at a minimum".

Haven't you ever seen how practically every 100m sprinter looks? It is not a physique that could be described as minimal, at all! My PB for the 100m is ~10.4s, so not quite pro but very fast.

It is not, and in fact any man that actually uses their body (instead of filling it with shit) will have visible abs.
3131s··on The Feminine Physique: On Women's Bodybuilding
In countries that aren't undergoing an obesity epidemic it is completely normal for men to have visible abs. Any man who does aerobic and anaerobic exercise for an extended period of time (and doesn't eat garbage, like 90% of Americans) will develop a six pack without even trying.

You cannot possibly think that men like this are malnourished...

> I'm pretty sure nobody has problems because of overly large muscles.

Well, you're wrong. Your heart has to work harder to pump blood whether you are 300 lbs of muscle or 300 lbs of fat, it doesn't matter. This is well-known, so maybe do a little research?

> to achieve 10% one must in general consciously malnutitrion and avoid eating food that the body can use to synthesize fat.

No, no! If you are eating foods that humans should eat and exercising about an hour a day, you will naturally fall below 10% no matter what else you do.

I never limit the amount of food I eat and in no sense am I "malnourished". I am 80 kilos at around 8% body fat and I still have a lot to spare before it would start to affect my athletic performance as a sprinter. Go take a look at the typical 100m sprinter physique and tell me that any of them are malnourished!

3131s··on The Feminine Physique: On Women's Bodybuilding
Nonsense, if your abs aren't visible as a man then you are carrying too much fat.

What's unhealthy about body bulding, beyond the direct effects of the roids, is that these guys are like 300+ lbs. That and becoming severely dehydrated from taking diuretics before competitions.

3131s··on The Feminine Physique: On Women's Bodybuilding
They're wrong. The reason that every athlete should train every part of their body is because it raises overall testosterone and promotes blood flow throughout the entire body, which speeds development and healing of the muscle groups that are predominantly used in whatever sport... e.g. I'm a sprinter, so I train my upper body as well because it helps my legs grow and heal faster.
3131s··on Parents of daughters are more likely to divorce than those with sons
Consider yourself lucky, I was already in juvenile detention at that age!
3131s··on How to lower the price of plant-based meat
It's their cognitive dissonance at work. People, especially the type of folks here, will find anything to say that pushes the discussion away from the mass-slaughter of animals, because they know it's not justifiable, healthy, or sustainable.

I know how it is, I ate meat at one point too. I had thought that as an elite athlete it was necessary to do so, but now five years without any meat I am stronger than ever. I have never had one of these weird "meat" burgers though.

Americans... eat tofu, tempe, soybeans, long beans, mushrooms, seitan, nuts, kale, seeds, and more for protein and otherwise consume a lot of fruits and vegetables. American food culture is broken and if you live there you need to do everything possible to break away from it, otherwise you'll end up fat and sick like most Americans are.

3131s··on How to lower the price of plant-based meat
> I’m not sure we’ve proven either one is definitely true.

Then you don't know what you're talking about. Both are definitely true, despite the meat industry's best efforts to delude you.

3131s··on Virginia lawmakers pass marijuana legalization bills
Yes, it is essential that we legalize cocaine and many other recreational drugs.
3131s··on Me and ADHD
You people are all nuts. It's amphetamine and you're getting high, and it's great isn't it?

Really I've never seen so much nonsense in one place... congratulations though on finding a steady supply of a drug that you like, just don't pretend you're any different from the rest of us junkies.

3131s··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
What is accomplished is that this maniac is contained in a cell for 12 years, out of society and unable to kill people.

You can cry me a river but there are plenty of drug dealers getting those kind of years in America, and it's a little telling that this case is the one that really riles your sympathy.

3131s··on Facebook is banning leftwing users like me
It absolutely would be, humanity would die off in just a few weeks.
3131s··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
Sure, but that's not what any of us are arguing.

I want radical reform of the prison system and the judicial system, but after we've made our prisons as humane as possible then I want to put this guy in there for at least 20 years.

They should tie the penalty to blood alcohol concentration and it should be substantial for anyone driving in the higher ranges.

3131s··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
This guy killed two teenagers with his car, because he was wasted. I'm not going to shed any tears for this guy when people have gotten similar sentences for small amounts of certain drugs.

A 12 year sentence is nothing in America, but hopefully his treatment in prison is humane and he has all the access possible to resources for education, health, and eventual contribution to society. It won't be though, of course, since the US prison system has fostered a brutal environment that causes recidivism, mostly arising out of American hatred of the poor and of dark-skinned people.

3131s··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
Everyone deserves to be helped out of poverty, but cases like yours show that the deck is just too stacked even against some of our brightest people. Despite being from a more stable set of circumstances and I can barely manage to get by at times (including now), if that helps. It's tragic that the very best things on this planet are being destroyed as we speak, including people like you and your father.
3131s··on The Lakota: A Human Story
That sounds like "clout".
3131s··on Japanese people may have gained longevity by balancing their diets
Not killing off the bacteria in soil that produce B12 would also help reduce B12 deficiency, a condition that is also common among meat eaters in the US.
3131s··on Mnm – an open source project to replace email and SMTP
It seems to be a favorite of criminals everywhere, which is a good measure of worth in this case.

There was a major deep web counterfeiter about a decade ago that remained active on Jabber even as a federal fugitive, not sure what ended up happening to him.

3131s··on The unsettling truth about the ‘Mostly Harmless’ hiker
It sounds like he was aware enough of these flaws that he decided to do something about it. That's a lot better than some people who go a lifetime without ever being self-aware.
3131s··on Testosterone levels show steady decrease among young US men
I have not eaten meat for over 5 years and I am extremely "ripped". I can power clean 2x my body weight and run a 10.5s 100m.

Sure, eating meat is healthier than eating carbs all day, but that's not the only alternative.

3131s··on Testosterone levels show steady decrease among young US men
You don't know anything. Endogenous testosterone is NOT unhealthy.

When one of us high-testosterone males carries you out of a burning building you might reconsider. It's frankly pathetic how physically incapable most Americans are.

3131s··on I ran a crawler to collect posts and comments on Parler
Well it's a little harder to tell what's going on now that some of these right-leaning sites have been shuttered, but from what I can tell people are backing away from this and not showing much interest in further violent protest.

There might be some large crowds in response to all of the recent deplatformings, but at least some conservatives are claiming that no such events are planned on at the capitols and that the media is inflating the story.

Your guess is as good as mine though. There are so many lunatics in America that anything might happen. Hopefully whatever attempts at violence are made will be unsuccessful.

3131s··on You might not need jQuery (2014)
Well, except that jQuery and a number of third parties have already extracted or ported various subsets of jQuery and have packaged it already for easy integration.
3131s··on If you want peace, study war
There is occasionally a Peace & Reconciliation department at some small universities in the US.
3131s··on I ran a crawler to collect posts and comments on Parler
I told my acquaintances that the "insurrection" would happen a full two weeks before it did.

Am I a broken clock, or are you just out of touch with the fragmented landscape of political commentary on the internet?
