Poor nutrition has been correlated with a lack of success across all dimensions for generations… Including intelligence on every measure.

True, I should have said “lower your expectations” and just left it there.

Surface area. It’s Twitter, give people a break.

Why are you worried about other people’s priorities? Worry about your own.
- Comment on Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been Verified 3 days ago:
Social justice isn’t the only thing on people’s minds. If that’s all you care about in your life you need to get some friends, make some hobbies, and start working on enjoying the life you have instead of constantly hand-wringing in endless despair over the state of “society”.

It’s not a retail device, and it’s loaded with a store version of iOS. It’s tracked specifically to that apple store. Here is a recent article. The phones are designed to work while they’re connected to the apple store wifi and that’s it. You’d get more useful spare parts if you robbed people outside a nightclub.

You’ve reduced your options to online dating or hooking up with club girls. I’d start by expanding those options.
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 1 week ago:
Someone who is hardworking and disciplined enough to keep the same shitty job for ten years could easily make a partner happy and get satisfaction from a relationship. Too many people look at what other people have and let it make them feel hopeless when they should be looking at what they have themselves and let it make them feel empowered.

Which three?
My theory is that universal public education was less than a generation ago in most places, printing books was still expensive, and forget movie cameras and audio recording devices. You really had to be sure of the stuff you wanted to record before you recorded it in those days, in any medium, and you needed some money to be able to do it. As a result, a lot of the content we see nowadays that documents how average people talked and behaved was never written down or filmed or whatever.
So people probably didn’t really say “what in the Sam Hill…???” they probably said “what the fuck!” You just don’t know it because every ten year old didn’t have a 4k video camera in their pocket ready to roll on every bullshit that everyone did.

- Comment on After 10 years of every social media platform becoming just another political propaganda machine Im totally bored of it. 4 weeks ago:
When they added all those default filters to bluesky for things like violence and hate speech and didn’t add one for politics, I deleted my account. I’m so so so very tired of it. I’m also 100% sick of slacktivists thinking posting their politics on social media does anything other than make other people post their politics on social media.

Isn’t that Pokimane? She’s ranked in League. Cute women can do great things. If you sexualize it maybe you’re a creep. Go watch her play.
- Comment on International travel 5 weeks ago:
Same experience here, and when I traveled as an immigrant, everyone was always very cordial and welcoming to me (which is more than I can say for the immigrant experience in America). I was in Brazil during Bolsonaro and found many lefties who appreciated the acknowledgement that they were still there working hard despite their country’s leadership (one of them got murdered by his father over politics). I was in Chile during the student riots under Pinera too and was welcomed by the leftists in the street throwing bottle bombs and the cops in riot gear with water cannons. The average person everywhere is involved in a continuous global struggle for human rights, education, economic equity, etc, and they recognize your empathy no matter what flavor of billionaire is currently running the country.
- Comment on International travel 5 weeks ago:
Any local who can’t separate you from the corrupt billionaires who run your country isn’t worth your time no matter where you are. Anyone who would lie to another person about where they’re from because they can’t separate themselves from the corrupt billionaires who run their country isn’t worth my time no matter where you’re from.
- Comment on Philadelphia neighborhood group approves $25,000 to fight bike lanes 5 weeks ago:
They would see cities designed for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. My city here in America is proud of the hundreds of miles of bike lanes but all they did was paint a bike stencil on the shoulder of the road and put up a sign telling cyclists to stay to the right.
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 5 weeks ago:
But I highly encourage everyone to ask “Okay, but is that a Swedish mile, nautical mile, Roman mile, or Chinese mile?” whenever miles comes up with Americans.
I find it tedious when someone pretends not to understand a conversation just to make some academic point, don’t you?

The image in the OP literally says “British: hey guys, we developed a thing called the metric sy-” so your argument is with the creator…

Who told you there was anything at all you could do in your life that there wouldn’t be something better than you at? Why do you let that stop you from doing anything?
