Cybernetic Vermin posted:well, sure, but ultimately a huge fraction of people wind up with terrible dental health, and associated financial and physical pain during their lifetimes. it may be a problem solvable by a some sufficiently puritanical regime of care, but unless we're creating a new branch of the police for it that's not happening what? i just meant that people should brush their teeth because mouths get dirty, regardless of cavities. you can be the most consistently perfect at brushing and flossing and still get cavities. you can have extremely poor dental hygiene and never get one in your life. i've never had a cavity but i've also still had to spend a money on various dental procedures and surgeries over the years. the solution to it is to include dental care as part of universal health care (  ) or otherwise have the government/taxes cover the cost, not to invent a bacterial lozenge

why is a lozenge like that worse than fluoride in the water or applied periodically at the dentist? seems like a fine intervention

bm3719 15 minutes ago | prev | next [–] People with IQs below 91 walk among us. Not sure why Project 100000 gets so much criticism of the moralizing type. Sure, it turned out to be a bad idea in retrospect and should have been a smaller trial run first, but the idea isn't crazy if you put yourself into McNamara's time and place. I could easily see myself thinking that systems were autopilot enough that the IQ of the body component of modern warfare to be of lesser importance. And if that were in fact true, we'd have found a way for such individuals to contribute. Is it more moral for the inevitable sacrifices of warfare to be solely among a society's higher IQ individuals? In the end, it turned out that those of lower IQ would continue having less of a productive role in society--something that was already accelerating at the time. Perhaps that's the real tragedy here. We have an oversupply of those only capable of simple labor. Maybe trying more "x's Morons" ideas isn't such a bad idea? reply

I can't tell if they're saying "we should try to make more attempts to use technology to give learning disabled people jobs because it was a good idea even if this specific instance didn't turn out well" or they're saying "we should make try to make more attempts to send learning disabled people to their deaths because it turns out they don't sufficiently contribute to capitalism" but since it's hn I'm not sure I want to know the answer

talldatethrow 2 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] For anyone that cares, I recommend trying a 90 day fresh vegetable juice diet. Not pasteurized store bought junk. Juice 10 lbs of vegetables a day and drink them in one or two sittings (will make a gallon). Drink it for 90 days. If you're not overweight, pay attention to calories and adjust to maintain weight. If you're overweight, just drink a gallon a day you'll survive. Carrots, cucumber, celery, beets. 90 days. I think this is an experiment everyone should do at least once in their life. Tldr; I think fresh vegetable juice and cooked ground beef is the ideal diet long term. reply

talldatethrow 2 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] Because I have tried it many times and my body has some intense urge for beef, and ground beef IMO is the easiest to make, digest, and cheapest and has fats that are good for you IMO. Some people think poorly of ground beef because "you don't know what's in it!" But moments later will tell you it's important to eat all parts of the animal because they have different nutrients. Ok then, sounds like ground beef is a good way to get different portions a butcher doesn't think sells well. Give me some foot meat, bring it on. There's also the fact that beef is basically the one food you could eat alone 365 days a year your whole life and get everything you need. That doesn't apply to vegetables or chicken or anything else really. Tldr; many people would say someone that eats a HUGE salad and some meat everyday, no breads or processed garbage would be healthy. Well, drinking 10 lbs of vegetables and having some ground beef is basically that except you're drinking more vegetables even that most people could ever eat in a day. reply

if you juice the vegetables you're missing out on the fiber so clearly the solution is to put all the vegetables and the ground beef into a blender and make a smoothie

It’s basically keto plus some structured exercise. I topped at like 255 and was as low as 200 by following it pretty much to-the-letter. (Still under 220 today, which is more than I’d like but I’m too lazy to worry, I walk a dog for three miles a day, it’s fine.) And then you have everything else that guy and his weirdo lackeys did afterwards…
