it has nothing to do with alignment of politics, it's that your description of reality is so wrong that it would be difficult to seriously engage

> Adderall can cause a high

> Interesting. FYI ADHD people feel none of that.

Please don't speak for a whole group of people when you don't know what you're talking about. Euphoria is very common when people with ADHD first start taking amphetamines, it just goes away after a week or so.

the euphoric high also happens in those with ADHD but only when they first start taking it. I would assume if you took it recreationally and not consistently you would have the same effect

> You see this kind of dismissal on /r/science all the time and it's always just evidence that they're not qualified to actually read the study. reply

In my experience it's more because the conclusions butt up against the persons personal beliefs or experiences (like OP's)

"I experienced negative side effects so the science must be bought and paid for"

I might have given a shred of charitability to you if you said "far more open fashion than the left." but the fact that you said "liberals" tells me I shouldn't take your political perspective seriously

> the majority seem to be trending towards battery/cage chickens.

it's not a trend - 99.96% of chicken sold in the US is factory farmed[1]

omg not everything is late stage capitalism

it's good we have so many geniuses in these comments solving the obesity epidemic! if only they spoke up sooner :(

know what makes it easier to fix/change your environment? when you aren't obese and everything in life is so much harder.

Guess what? you can both take ozempic AND fix the problems that caused the need to self-medicate with food (for example). In fact, I would be willing to bet that we see research coming out in the next couple years that shows people who lose weight with GLP-1's then go on to make better lifestyle choices because they confer many benefits that are much more obvious and attainable when you aren't obese and just fighting to get around in daily life.

It's a two-way issue - having some problems result in you being obese, but being obese also creates problems, makes them worse, and harder to address. Mental health issues for example can both cause obesity and be caused by obesity - if you aren't obese anymore then your mental health improves and you can then go onto address other issues you might not have been able to otherwise.

Lastly, you talk about "the system" as if that's not a two way relationship. People who have unhealthy habits they have trouble controlling create demand for services and products that are unhealthy - but if you have less people with unhealthy habits then that demand reduces and so do those unhealthy supplies.

wow people can just not be obese if they fix their habits! what a revelation! Better go tell all the obese people that, they surely have no idea.

it's clear you have a personal bone to pick because your comment is so off base

enjoy getting (deservedly) downvoted into oblivion for lacking basic empathy

> and the side effects can be severe

Are there severe side effects that aren't extremely rare? can you provide data on this?

in no world is keto the only option for most people. Some may personally feel it's easier than other dietary/lifestyle options for losing weight but it is not uniquely different than many other options in that category (and absolutely has risks depending on how it's done)

so there was no bait and switch, you are just complaining about the lack of transparency around the specific limits that they never once said didn't exist

are you going to answer what the bait and switch was?

I got dizziness from lipitor (only in the hours after taking it) and I determined it seemed to be due to dehydration so now I just make sure to drink enough water and no more dizziness. Cut my LDL in half in 3 months and now I take every 2 days

no surprise that your reference is from Nicholas Norwitz. It's good he self-owned with the KETO-CTA trial and showed everyone that isn't already bought into the low card dogma that it's clearly a disaster for CVD risk

> "some human lifes are not worth it"

do you give the same worth to a human "life" at 10 weeks as you do at 9 months?

the database was populated with fake data. The entire point of the experiment was to see how far you can get with vibe coding.

just because something is "eugenics" doesn't mean it's bad or shouldn't be discussed.

don't seriously engage with people who would rather morally grandstand and tone police than have important conversations

people should stop accepting that all forms of eugenics is "bad" - it's become so morally loaded that people like you are afraid to bite the bullet. We should be ok with having discussions about whether avoiding bringing children into the world with greatly reduced quality of life (or even pain-filled existences) is something we should be doing even though it's "eugenics"

an experiment to figure out the limitations and capabilities of a new tool is stupid?

> His actions led to a company losing their prod data.

did you even read the comment or the article you replied to?

so brave of you. Everyone is clapping

> You know what would actually guarantee an increase in supply? Government-funded public housing

Or just removing needless restrictions so the market can provide the incentive for private entities to build housing? The government is not the primary builder of housing, nor should it be.

> I don’t want to be invited by companies which prioritize appearances over merit

I don't think that is what is necessarily (or likely) happening. Humans have many subconscious biases, and preferring more professional photos when looking to hire is probably a common one.

> when does that matter in software related work.

There is essentially no downside to taking a more professional photo. There is absolutely potential downside to having too casual of a photo (even if it's a silly truth)
