Malaysia hosts multiple propaganda operations run by various state actors, so I’m not sure if the location of this particular account is of any particular significance.

Absolutely slammed it.

Could you cite the study, please?

getting rid of billionaires will not fix any long standing issues with society because they aren’t the primary cause of those issues

How are you so confident that this is the case?

The problem is the concentration of wealth into the hands of a few, so that sounds fine to me if the your hypothetical came true and we all gained $20,000. And that’s ignoring all the other positive externalities that may occur with this redistribution of wealth, such as societal change.

$20,000 would go a long way for a lot of people, too. So yes, I do like to hear it. Very much indeed.

I think China does fervently wish that they can just “close in” to high end chip fabrication, but it’s not that easy. We’ll see, though.

There is no living creature, plant or animal, that doesn’t have feedback systems that inform on injury and damage. It may not be in a form that we recognize as pain, but in effect that is what it is.

Nothing lives without affecting the lives of other creatures, but we can do our best to minimize suffering. For lobsters it’s probably ideal to freeze or shock them, as mentioned in the article.

I’m no expert but this really doesn’t seem like the right solve for falling birth rates.

How would you mitigate this exposure, by ventilating the room well when using the stove?

I’m not sure what to say to that. Are you asserting that fat is a form of sugar? I don’t believe that to be case. One of the obvious differences is that sugars are water soluble, but fats are not.

Triglycerides do contain a glycerol backbone, but aren’t sugars. In any case I will revise my statement. Don’t eat carbohydrates, get your nutrition from protein and the associated fat.

Edit:

All of our energy comes from turning food into glucose.

In lipolysis, our bodies break down triglycerides into both fatty acids and glycerol. Most of our cells are also able to metabolize fatty acids for energy, not just glucose.

You couldn’t survive if you didn’t have some form of sugar in your diet.

Unless we conflate fat with sugars, it is perfectly possible to survive (and indeed thrive!) without eating any form of sugar at all. Again, the human body is capable of making all the glucose it needs.

Yes, in the human diet. Fats are not a form of sugar.

That is also my understanding. We needn’t consume any exogenous sugars in any form, since the body is able to make all it needs.

If we’re cutting out sugar in all forms then that counts too.

That’s nothing near to what I said. To reiterate my statement, there is no requirement for sugar in the human diet.

Please elaborate. I would love to learn more. Not being sarcastic.

Amino acids and fat. Why do we need sugar? It’s not an essential nutrient.

Don’t consume either. Artificial sweeteners are UPFs and sugar in all its forms have no place in the human diet.

Excellent, more ultra processed material that our bodies have never encountered before and don’t know what to do with, what could go wrong with eating it in with other things that we aren’t supposed to be eating?

I don’t think we’d lose anything of value even if we banned all influencers from speaking online on social media on any topic, so I can see why China’s done this.

Experts think that

Ah, alright, so no science then.

people like to fry it hard

I’ve never understood this, it tastes far better nice and soft.

Why are saturated fats bad for you?
