Guess what? You can come off as an unlikeable weirdo on dating sites/apps.

Just because you don't have a trait doesn't make that trait "obsolete."

By the way, a large majority of humans in the United States marry and even among the ones who don't marry a vast majority of them have dated. A large majority of people in the United States are not tall and muscular, we come in all shapes and sizes.

You may find this shocking but Women aren't uniform brainless sheep. Women come in all forms with all sorts of different things they find attractive. For example, I don't find muscles especially attractive and tallness does absolutely nothing for me. My husband is overweight and I don't mind a bit, doesn't distract from his attractiveness to me. Some women are even attracted to other women.

(Hint: it actually might be you since 99% of society can somehow manage to get a date)

What's with these shit posts lately? This is specifically talking about using the "GI bill," (actual name is The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944) which is certain benefits provided in exchange​ for active duty military service. Education is just one of those benefits, access to special loans is another. It's one of the reasons why people sign up for military service in the first place. It's something that is earned, not given.

The argument presented here is you are allowed to use your GI Bill to learn to be a HVAC technician so why shouldn't you be able to use it to learn to be a software engineer? Incidentally, this article is pretty pointless anyways because you actually can learn to be a software engineer with your GI Bill you just have to go to an accredited traditional college or university. They even mention there are "boot camps" that are becoming accredited. Even so, I question how much you can actually learn in less than six months, certainly not enough for a real career in software in my opinion, I base that on my own journey learning and my decade plus experience in industry. I think the point of this article is something like "coding is the new blue collar" or something else irrelevant.

I'm not the person you replied to but I'll churp in. I only eat once a day, at dinner time, so I eat in about a half hour block a day. I've been doing it for years. It's not really that odd once you get used to it. My appetite and food consumption has decreased dramatically and I am full much quicker. My food bill has decreased and it's very, very freeing to only have to worry about eating once a day. It's absolutely amazing for me though certainly not for everyone.

And aspirin should never be used in children because its use in children is associated with Reye syndrome.

Last year, though, a team of Israeli scientists put together a stronger case. The researchers concluded from studies of mice that ingesting artificial sweeteners might lead to—of all things—obesity and related ailments such as diabetes. This study was not the first to note this link in animals, but it was the first to find evidence of a plausible cause: the sweeteners appear to change the population of intestinal bacteria that direct metabolism, the conversion of food to energy or stored fuel. And this result suggests the connection might also exist in humans.

I don't like artificial sweeteners because I am worried about changes in gut bacteria. There's some research suggesting it may.

Products for people on feeding tubes like Jevity?

Last I checked Soylent contained Sucralose (Splenda).

In Rem = against a thing/object - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/in_rem

Jurisdiction = Power [of a court] - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/jurisdiction

"The term jurisdiction is really synonymous with the word "power"."

Yes, that's called in rem jurisdiction (power over objects) and the resulting cases can sound very comical
