Comment Re: Game Devs are DEI and Marxist. Unions are Marx (Score 1) 85

Side note I wouldn't map "liberalism Vs conservatism" to "left Vs right" (and I'm not certain that you did), especially given how "liberalism" doesn't have a unique definition, depending on where and when it is used. Some concepts valued by some liberals are seen as problematic by some leftists, for example private property. Where and when I grew up, "liberal" was used as synonym for "centre right".

No, he claimed that "Most people lack enough protein".

When I asked for evidence, he failed to provide it. He provided evidence about old people and athletes. Most people are neither old nor an athlete.

He also provided evidence that more protein intake does not make a difference for old people (last link in the long list of links). So there's contradicting evidence.

Evidence for the claim would be a meta study that shows protein intake would bring a benefit for most people.

I agree. I mentioned "obsessing" because that is the vibe I got from the post I was replying to. I believe you can eat healthy without worrying too much about it. How to eat well isn't complicated, nor is it secret knowledge. It shouldn't require significant brain bandwidth to do it right.

I will add that allowing oneself some exceptions is good for mental health (for instance eating cake and drinking alcohol is generally not great, but a slice of cake with a bit of sparkling wine on a special occasion can foster one's happiness, just don't have a special occasion every day).

I only looked at the first and last link so far, neither supports your claim.

The first one essentially says that some subgroup of older people have lower nutrient intake in general, and that it includes lower protein intake. After a quick glance, it does say "below recommendation" but does not offer evidence of degraded health. In other words, it could also be that the recommendation is not fit for older people. The same article also says that overall, older people have "better" nutrient intake. By the way, nutrition recommendations vary vastly from one country to another, including across developed countries.

The last article says that increased protein intake made no difference in the experiment, which directly contradicts your claim.

This does not motivate me to check the other links, or to believe your claim.

Most people lack enough protein

Citation needed. Common wisdom is actually the opposite.

Also I'm not sure why it all needs to be so complicated. Eat with diversity and with little processed food, don't eat more than you need, don't drink sugar instead of water and you'll be fine. It's a solved problem for a long time already, at least for people with access to food and without bad genetic luck. It's not rocket science.

They're still getting it wrong and talking about integration instead of interoperability.

Every time I use their products it's a horrible experience. Think Teams, OneDrive. What I hear about recent Windows versions isn't great either. My understanding is that few people use Microsoft products because they want to, it usually is because they have to. "Provide inferior products but make sure people still have to use them" is great logic for a drug lord, but most people here don't appreciate it, or the impact it has on the world and on their work environment.

Came here to say essentially this, it's not my country but I still wish collecting this kind of information on this kind of scale were illegal. In every country.

The other thing is, making it illegal only works as long as you don't have authoritarians in power. Once they are in power, they will allow it and everyone is fucked. Imagine if Nazis had access to modern technology when they were tracking every Jewish person.

Thanks for the context, I find it interesting. Is it not still the case though that the power company can choose to stop servicing homes to start servicing a data centre, because there is no regulation against it? Or asked differently: could it be that there are lots of regulations in that market but also that they are not directly relevant to that point?
