  1. does anyone else find it interesting that cooking was/is such a critical aspect of a successful family? We joke about it now, but maybe it's such a sticking point in arguments between couples because it's FAR more important than modern people realize.

  2. AI Developers: "We don't actually know how AI works." AI Developers: able to manipulate and precisely control AI to give censored political propaganda responses to specific inquiries.

  3. well known case study regarding salt and health, and incredibly infuriating the level of ignorance of modern "medicine". "Modern Medicine" is literally nothing more than professional Snake Oil Salesmen.

  4.  @AA-Ashley  what does that mean, "equal rights"? What rights don't women have? Why don't men have equal rights in divorce court? Why don't men have equal rights in child custody? Why don't women get sentenced the same as men for the same crime? Why are women never held accountable? Why do women initiate 80% of divorce, yet claim fathers are the ones who abandoned their children? Why don't women work the hard jobs like plumbing, construction, infantry, fishing, coal mining, etc. but instead demand diversity hires of jobs they aren't qualified for? Why are women still favored in college admissions even when there are more women than men in college? I'd love to see equality applied to women for a change.

  5. @Kimberly A I'm starting to agree with this view, even though many women will attack me for it. Bear in mind, it could be the husband too. My brother in law is basically a gourmet chef (his parents owned an upscale restaurant when he was a kid) and spends hours a day cooking for his family. One parent staying home is more doable than people realize, and provides a lot of benefits to the family overall as a whole. While their may be no physical payment received, the value generated is very real, and often comes in the form of Savings, as well as things provided for the family that no money can buy. I feel like i could write an entire book just detailing the myriad of ways one parent staying at home can be a huge advantage to the family and society as a whole. In Switzerland for example, this is still the norm. They live such stress free lives overall compared to people in the US.

  6. It's common for people to be egocentric and think that they are not part of nature, not part of the animal kingdom, and that somehow humans are magically different from every other living thing, somehow. But it's just not true. Humans are animals, mammals, same as other mammals/animals. Therefore it's reasonable to expect that what works for other animals might also apply to us. Not always, but often enough. Turtles aren't mammals, so probably not the best example, which is why scientists uses mice and pigs and such to learn about humans. Other mammals that are similar to humans in the ways they are evaluating.

  7. They also redefined "fascism" in just the past few years, to declare it a "right-wing" ideology, when historically it's been mostly a result of left-wing ideology (but you could get to fascism from either direction). but look at the historical definition and see for yourself how they changed it. this is why I own print copies of old dictionaries and old books.

  8. "equality for women" is a loaded term. what does that even mean, exactly? @AA-Ashley

  10. My rule for extended fasting, is that you look at what the healthy weight range is for you, and compare that to what your weight is. the difference (if you have excess weight above that), is what you can use for extended fasting without issues. Let's say you weight 200lb, but should be around 160-180lb. That's 20-40lb excess. Let's use 20lb. From what I've seen, most people lose somewhere between 1-2lb per day while extended fasting. Depends upon the person and level of activity. Let's use 2lb to be conservative (don't want to fast too long and risk issues, if you don't know what works for you and how much you lose). 20lb/2lb per day is 10 days of fasting without issue. But if you used the 40lb figure, and only lost 1lb per day, you could go 40days. This is the general rule of thumb I use. It is not backed by any studies, use at your own risk. When I fast, I change NONE of my daily routine and habits, other than not eating anything, only drinking water.

  12. let's be honest, if vegetarian athletes paid that close attention to the science, they wouldn't be vegetarians.

  13. Feminism will be the death of society if it isn't stopped. It's just another name for Marxism.

  15.  @sharzo7728  it's not complex, it's just a massive number of iterations, not worth retracing the steps. It does exactly what the programmers programmed it to do. Would take a long time to retrace a few billion computations.

  17. stunting the growth and development of children to experiment on them with unhealthy diets is immoral and sets them up for failure in life. People who look better (facial structure), are taller, etc. are more successful in life in general.

  18. a study claiming candy and junk food is healthy? proof the world is being run by overgrown children.

  19. some food loss is also due to storage and spoilage. Healthy foods don't last forever. If you don't consume it fast enough, it will go bad.

  20.  @MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou  "Nothing in this video rebuts vegetarianism" I never said anything of the sort, now did I? Don't ignore or forget Vegans. That's even worse than vegetarian.

  21.  @MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou  "I never said anything about vegans, now did I?" you brought up eggs and dairy. And Vegan is part of the vegetarian discussion by default, especially in context of what the video discusses. You like implying things, yet you couldn't figure this out yourself? " You mentioned that science somehow rebuts vegetarianism." yes I did. you finally got something right. " Considering the context of your comment is this video, it's implied that your comment is related to this video." you're reading comprehension and logical reasoning is terrible, as I never remotely implied that. Feel free to show me in detail which combination of words implied that. Dictionary definitions and such may or may not help you.

  22. my rule of thumbs: 1) in general an Average person should be able to survive up to about 3weeks without food. 2) My personal rule for extended fasting: (current weight)-(minimum normal healthy weight) = (max number of days you can fast without strenuous exertion) To be more conservative you divide that number by 1.5 or 2.0

  23.  @rekamud6635  if you have to ask, you've probably never experienced strenuous exertion before.

  24.  @ericaugust1501  "late stage capitalism" no such thing. we're in the mess we are because gov and corporate interests hijacked the gov and stopped enforcing capitalism. Capitalism =/= gov bailouts of businesses. Capitalism = letting business succeed or fail on their own merits. Capitalism =/= forcing people to buy insurance for anything. Capitalism = gov intervention when a corporation gets too dominant in the market that they can start controlling prices and demanding ridiculously high markups. Gov is supposed to ensure competition exists in the markets to drive profit margins down and keep prices in check. Anti-trust, anti-monopoly, anti-cartel, anti-price fixing, laws being enforced. Capitalism =/= gov sponsored welfare Capitalism = encouraging charity and voluntary participation for mutual benefit of both the individual and society. But I get what you're saying.

  25. rice doesn't Need to be grown in water. The water serves as weed control, but it can be grown with less water.

  26. a diet where you have to force yourself to eat makes zero sense whatsoever. if you're not hungry, stop eating.

  27. Vegans eventually do 1 of 2 things. 1) stop being vegan 2) die prematurely

  28.  @chrismaclean1755  my guess is probably a vegan who just learned that they are a jerk and nobody likes them. Probably stage one to learning how not to be insufferable to everyone around them.

  29. Me: states facts that used to be common sense. People: "Show me the science!" Me: I work through the ideas with them. People: "where is your degree in this!? I want to see published scientific papers!" Scientific Papers: 60% of the papers are found to be wrong due to things like; using statistical manipulations, apples to oranges comparisons, improperly conducted experiments, failure to control for variables, invalid sample sizes and distributions, unrepeatable results, etc. People: "I trusts the scientists, because your degree in Mechanical Engineering doesn't make you qualified to do basic math." (or some nonsense claims like that. Never mind the fact that "Appeal to Authority" by claiming only a person with a degree in 'X' topic can know the truth or be correct on a subject, is a scientifically false claim) People: "you don't have a degree in biology, so you can't possibly read a book and know such things! even if it's the same book the biologist learned it from in college (and cheated off their friends homework to pass the class)."

  30. want to overthrow a gov? disrupt the food supply and watch the people revolt. Agriculture is arguably THE foundation of civilization. Without the success of modern agriculture and the technology that it now uses, many people would have to revert to farming as their primary job.

  31. because "feminism" is a form of Marxism and truly rotten at its core.

  33. with modern methods of growing, including hydroponics, permaculture, square foot gardening, grow lamps, etc. Anyone in the developed nations who has the luxury to be concerned about their impact on the climate and the environment is fully capable of setting up growing on their own land, in their own homes or apartments, either indoors or outdoors, or both. Grow your own food. When you're only trying to provide food for yourself or your family, it takes Very little space to do that. Only commercial farms for the purpose of turning profit requires such space. So if anyone wants to complain, they need only look in a mirror to find the person to blame. Largely hands-off and automated systems can be put together to require very little effort to grow plants solely for personal consumption. You may not get the high yields and larger produce of a commercial operation, but that's not what is important for personal consumption. Just build in acceptable amounts of loss in you growing, and compost the stuff that fails.
