  Humans are animals that navigate life through the lens of emotions with logic being something that we have to work towards - so you may be closer to the truth than you think.

  Yep. Lost a good and very smart friend to the anti vax conspiracies and maybe others by now.

  I’ve also had to really pay attention and tell myself that I live in a liberal bubble and need to balance that bias against what is truth.

  There are economic and progressive policy solutions to a problem like this but it seems Americans are more worried that a billionaire may have to spend a tiny fraction of their wealth to help fund these solutions and that is just unacceptable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Thread] Mental Math⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say there is still some complicated stuff going on in the brain with knowing where your arm, hand, elbow and shoulder are in space as well how much force you need to apply (the precise amount of motor neurons to activate at the exact time) so you can toss the ball in the arc you need to catch it on the other side.

  Yes death is inevitable but you do have the opportunity to guide how you are going to die, to a degree.

  Treating your body like a garbage dump will give you a long slow death as the garbage slowly destroys your body. Eating more healthy can lessen that effect.

  I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It’s It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.

  I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .

  wow, I was a weird kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Bears⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, but really when you are in bear territory, and close to areas where bear congregate (rivers being one), just a few loud claps and a couple of loud “HEYS” is good enough to flush most bears.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Bears⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This video while long does a great job teaching you how to act in active bear territory.

  The TLDW is: -

  • In active bear territory carry bear spray and be ready to use it
  • You can’t out run a bear don’t try
  • bear bells don’t work
  • playing dead makes it easier for the bear to maul you
  • when hiking with a group and encounter a bear stand shoulder to shoulder wave your arms and prepare your bear spray
  • let the bear decide how they want to leave the encounter (if they are not attacking you)
  • outside of a momma bear, most “attacks” are bluffs but can be scary as shit.
  • guns work but you better be a good and quick shot cuz bears run fucking fast
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is living like royalty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well maybe not other examples, but my comment was more along the lines that I think that we (modern humans) idealize hunter-gathers. When what was probably more reality was that they had difficult times as well. I would say that agriculture and animal domestication came out of a need to reduce the task of having to hunt down your food.

  If you get to just walk out of your hut and harvest plants or you don’t have to run down a wild pig, instead just butcher one in the pen you’re going to do that. But the downside then is you need to spend more time tending to the animals and plants to make sure they survive. So you give up some downtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is living like royalty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they also had community infighting, gossiping, feelings of unfairness, jealousy etc. You know like all humans in all parts of history.

  They also had a short lifespan where a broken leg, bad tooth or infected cut could kill you. Not to take away from what you wrote but to add that it probably wasn’t as ideal of a life as we may think.

  I mean, if we genuinely had a significant amount of local, state and federal law makers that cared about protecting their constituents instead of whatever the fuck they are doing now, we could have some accountability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a little biased but I do look down on men that lack any handyman skills

  That is a lot biased to the point that you can’t even see that other men’s lives may have put them in a position of not learning those things or even wanting to learn those things. It’s great that you know how to do those things but just because someone has a penis doesn’t mean they have to learn how to be handy. That doesn’t make them any less of a man, just different from you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hero⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is true it is a big part of society and how to get along, and you would think that because this is one of the foundations of this society it would be a bigger part of someone’s education. This shouldn’t be something people should have to figure out on their own in order to feed themselves and their family

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon figures out how dieting works⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We evolved from the ones that could survive a famine because they had an easier time holding on to body fat. That is our lineage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Futures⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but people and corporations would have to change and that’s too difficult instead we should do something easy like colonize another planet. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monopoly⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember that game. My dad got it from a very conservative/racist family member - with a note that read something like “too bad I’m white and have to work for my money.”

  I don’t think my dad ever talked to him again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When on a diet, does you body have the same weight loss across the entire person including visceral fat?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is some research that shows that aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on visceral fat:

  More importantly, both aerobic and resistance training prevented regain of potentially harmful visceral fat.

  These results suggest that at least 10 METs·h/w in aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, light jogging or stationary ergometer usage, is required for visceral fat reduction

  These data suggest that aerobic exercise is central for exercise programmes aimed at reducing VAT, and that aerobic exercise below current recommendations for overweight/obesity management may be sufficient for beneficial VAT modification

  HIIT is a time-efficient strategy to decrease fat-mass deposits, including those of abdominal and visceral fat mass.

  But it’s not all too straight forward

  The study found no difference in efficacy of liver fat reduction by either aerobic exercise dose or intensity.

  There are probably more studies that show both positive and inconclusive evidence for exercise and changes in visceral fat because that kinda how science is…

  That’s how I find the first tool.

  It’s like a sacrifice of my time and money to the tool gods to show how invested I am in dealing with this problem on my own. They reward me with giving me back my old “lost” tool.
