This was PR prop

trans men = biological women on biological men's hormones?

I can't pretend to be an authority on this, but without going back 117 years, in the 2000s, you google Bextra and Vioxx.

You'd be surprised then to know what FDA once approved that later turned out to be detrimental to patients' healthy. Happened more than once.

It they see themselves just as healthy as obese, why would they want not to be obese?

Sounds like enabling obesity to me.

Telling them to eat better or exercise doesn't work because it's a pain in the ass to be in a caloric deficit. They have statistically low dopamine levels (among other markers being out of wack) so they just don't have the mental fuel to deal with doing what's hard. That's what lead them to be obese in the first place, seeking comfort in food, sitting on their butt and avoiding the harshness of their reality.

Another key component are high cortisol levels (ie chronic stress due to past traumas causing depression and other mental illnesses), hindering the parasympathetic brain to switch on digestive metabolism.

You don't solve all these underling issues by saying "hey fat isn't that bad, you can still be healthy being heavy".

Like you wouldn't say to a drug addict "hey drugs aren't that bad for you" to make them feel less shitty about their situation.

Do you realize that you contradict yourself? You claim to be a communist yet you expect to be free enough to express yourself and choose what to build? Discuss politics and being free to disagree in a communist state?? You either weren't thaught XXth century history at school or you are very confused. Saying you are communist is like saying you are a nazist, it makes no sense. IMO you are confused.

The less 02 you breath in, the more the CO2 build-up and, per the Bohr effect, the more efficiently you'll absorb the 02. Just don't mouth breath and you'll be fine. Actually, you'll be healthier because of it.

You can socialize without alcohol and you should, like people do literally all the time. Imagine being able to talk to others only when you are "socially lubricated"... a slippery slope for alcoholism.

Struggling with socializing is a matter of being inexperienced at it, like you would struggle to play guitar or to swim if you've never done it long enough to be at least proficient at them. Luckily socializing is one of the few things we've been doing since we were born so we got a degree of experience there.

If the struggle comes from having underlying issues that undermine your ability to socialize, say, lack of self esteem, depression or any other mental health issues, those need to be addressed as well and drinking is not going to solve them.

Actually those conditions will most likely improve by socializing without alcohol. Alcohol is just a false friend.

As a moderate outgoing and sober person, alcohol actually makes me shy, it numbs me down and takes away the edge I've been sharpening all my life. In other words it prevents me from actually be myself.

He did it for SEO purposes most likely.

"Was the effect on your rankings worth it ?" would be a better question.

Saving people in the ER or as paramedics is another of those instances. It doesn't have to be your life the one on the line.

I almost died choking on a chunk of meat once. It was quite interesting how my mind went blank as soon as I realized I had to do something or I was dead. No thoughts, no fear. Just absolute focus and the will to do anything. I'm not sure if it was me sticking a fork down my throat or a guy who was there who started to hit me on the back to do the trick. But after 20 or so seconds I was once again able to breathe. I was red, sweaty and in tears due to the stress and I couldn't speak but I was ok. I realize anything can happen at all times and I'm trying to be always alert and ready (chewing my food like a mofo and warning others to do the same - and to call themselves lucky I'm now trained to respond and keep them alive in case they pass out). So far, so good.

What I'm afraid of as far as base jumping is concerned is that you can't react to what's happening or you have just a few seconds. What if the chute doesn't open properly? What if the wind slams you on the rocks?

You are gambling with your fate. True that we all gamble with it when we eat, walk down the stairs, drive around etc. But at least in those daily circumstances we can take proper countermeasures and deal with whats' happening as it happens.

I would understand though if you know the risk of doing something and you still do it because it matters so much to you. If you could choose to die while doing what makes you happy wouldn't you?

I remember the first time I was on a plane. I was in such a joy that I thought "if I die now, I wouldn't care. I'm so happy I'd die happy."

We are all going to die. I believe it's better to die while doing what means the most to us, than not living fully and safe, ending up not appreciating our life cause we give it for granted.

Are you willing to die for it?

If they can't measure their ROI, big or small the players, it's their fault, not Facebook. It's not that hard to deploy direct marketing campaigns and monitor conversions. It's actually the ABC of online marketing.

What thread, if I may ask? Biz opportunity right there.
