Cost by Protein Source
  • Why? I thought dietary cholesterol had little to nothing to do with blood cholesterol levels? That’s what it seems to me like this source is saying, but I’m not an expert by any means.

    With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?
  • Unfortunately that’s just not true. There are a ton of people who use this as an excuse to oppress, and fuck them. But pound for pound, a person assigned male at birth is still going to have competitive advantage over someone assigned female at birth.

    I don’t love the way this study words the problem, but I’ll quote it here: “Male physiology cannot be reformatted by estrogen therapy in transwoman athletes because testosterone has driven permanent effects through early life exposure.”[1]

    I really wish it were as simple as it feels like it should be: trans men have the testosterone levels to compete with cis men, and the same for trans women and cis women. It’s really not that simple though, and pretending like the only barrier is hate won’t help things.

  • I mean, if you keep watching these movies, and you keep getting disappointed by them, it is your fault. You're still giving them money to make a movie you basically know you're not going to like, based on recent data. Either stop watching, lower your expectations, or just always be disappointed.

    Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once?
  • Not everything is a conspiracy. Its fine that you didn't love it, but is it really so hard to believe that others might have different tastes from you, that you make up a whole grand scheme with no evidence?

    Over 60 percent of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder
  • If more than half of a population has it, is it really a disorder? The disordered thing is clearly our society, but rather than fix that we medicate all the people having a hard time living in such a world.

    Edit: looks like this headline isn't true.

    Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough”
  • Since your issue is with critical race theory, and you have stated in multiple comments that the problem with critical race theory is that it says inequality and hierarchy is bad, specifically when it comes to race, I guess its safe to assume you are a racist, then?

    Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College
  • We have the senate, which is needed to pass any law and gives equal representation to the states. We have the supreme court, which can strike down any law as unconstitutional. We have plenty of checks on mob rule without disenfranchising a gigantic swath of voters.

    “Peripheral” canceled at Amazon
  • Fair enough, I feel like that's especially true for Netflix right now, in my opinion. I'm really enjoying some of the Apple TV shows right now, like Silo and Severance, that are a bit "meatier," intellectually speaking.
