That's a good one. I should revisit it.

Thank you!

Why have a whole phrase of Japan glazer when we already have weeb?

Still cute, though.

Anybody got any recommendations for romance that is modern earth adults that communicate and also have sex (doesn't need to be illustrated, just don't want them to spend 4 volumes trying to hold hands)?

Sweat and Soap is one I enjoyed as an example.

And to be rich just make more money than you spend. True if you ignore a bunch of things. And useless.

If it's useful for weight loss universally, please provide evidence. All I'm asking for is a study that shows saying the same thing over and over out of context has made anybody lose any weight. If it's such a bulletproof concept, than should be easy. If you can't do that, then your idea sucks.

As somebody that uses valkey, I'm happy there's drama.

So you think a single phrase can encompass something useful in such a complex system? Is it better to be technically true or actually useful?

Newton's second law is force is equal to mass times acceleration. You're probably wrong about some other things, too.

Yeah, I want evidence that's weight loss is as simple as repeating that phrase that without understanding it. I don't think people quoting it a) know what it means b) understand biology, psychology, hormones, disease. I'm tired of idiots going unchallenged on their dumb ideas.

We are talking about different things. I'm talking about evidence and they're not.

and it is.

You say in your very next line people stop doing it and that's why it doesn't work. Yes. These interventions are not sustainable. If that's your gotcha, that people can't stay on them but crash dieting, starvation, disordered eating, etc is a reasonable idea, then that's a lazy strawman. If you don't have a scientific study to back up that dieting works for actual people, please shut up. I'm really sick of people proping up bullshit without ever trying to figure out if it's true. If you can't find evidence of a diet that actual people can do that results in a 10% loss over 2 years for even a third of the participants, then it's time to update what you think. Short of surgery, nothing works long term for weight loss. Even Ozempic has to be taken for as long as you want the weight off, it stops working for some people after 6 months to a year, and about 75% of people stop taking it within two years.
