> Besides just gaining weight, the movie also claimed that Spurlock got major liver damage and started suffering from a range of mental health issues, all as a result of eating fast food. Notably, none of the people who replicated the experiment suffered from these problems.

> Years after the movie’s release Spurlock admitted to being a lifelong alcoholic, despite claiming otherwise in the documentary. Alcohol abuse can easily explain the liver damage, and alcohol withdrawal during the filming of the documentary also explains the sudden mental health problems he was experiencing.

Hmm, I'm not sure what to think with this new information.

I really enjoyed the documentary when I watched it as a kid. But I did remember thinking it was weird he puked so early in the film. I brushed it off as "everyone is different", and forgot about it.

how does Mistral monetize or plan to monetize? create a chat gpt-like service and charge? license to other businesses?

he is on a pedestal because everyone who’s worked with him said he’s amazing and effective.

Could see how the people of the Aegean could produce myths like Atlantis when they themselves were invading Egypt and most likely became the Philistines of the Old Testament, aka Goliath’s people (local greek pottery discovered there, as well as descriptions of helmets etc lend credence to Philistines being the invading Greeks)

Do they? What classes?

Temporary and permanent immigration to Japan seems to be increasing in the last few years.

On the "influencer" side, you also are seeing more and more people talk about how cheap houses in beautiful parts of Japan are, how easy / difficult it is to buy and live in one of them, etc. Come to think of it, are these covert advertisements by the Japanese government to get more foreign immigration and capital?

Ah yes, I remember how Tony Soprano would always threaten small business owners with endless stream of ads if they did not pay protection fees

What percentage of crops will fail in 20 years?

Is there an fertility rates published by income/wealth levels? Does the U-shaped fertility graph show up in SK? As in, poorest people have more kids, middle class have fewest kids, and richest have more kids.

oh true. I didnt think about the non-occupied times when they run

they are only allowed to run from 9pm to 5/6am though. Rode a few and they seemed perfectly safe.
