I really, really love fasting. It's when you starve yourself. Many people can't do it but I'm living proof that you can. It raises adrenaline and lowers cortisol so I feel just peppy through the day. And now because I went for a week without eating last month and described a mechanism, I have the honor of being a father figure to all of you in telling you that you, too, may starve, and one day achieve the health goals that I've achieved as of last month. I'm a Google engineer btw

Edit: stop PMing me asking for pictures and blood test results. HUGE invasion of privacy

Which scientific journals have you read on the matter to form your opinion? Just curious -- always looking to learn.

Who cares whether the employees get more done? Two questions matter.

Are employees less depressed? (-->prevents PR issues)

Does the company get more done in the long term? (<--maximized retention)

This is a shit job and being close to other humans makes it easier to cope.

And yet, in every 100 bullshit tech-bro commenters, there are 10 who are actually getting really interested in the subject and taking the time to check their old Bio notes, research opposing viewpoints, or maybe even bring something new to the table.

Hating is easy. All you have to do is point fingers at people and tell them they know nothing. 100% of the time you'll be right.

Or having the waiter ask to fuck your daughter.

My dad does shit like that sometimes. It's not cute.

This is flamebait, but way too subtle to be flagged.
