That’s also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.

It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
I can put my credit card number in any transaction directly, and so can anyone else. Digital payment can provide a random one time card number (at the expense of privacy, admittedly). Physical cards are absolutely not safer.
… Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.
73% of Americans are overweight. They’ll be just fine if they eat out less.
I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.
Disingenuous attribution of a local environmental variable to a national crisis is pretty pathetic. Oregon isn’t even exceptionally high on the opiod death rate.
Oh fuck off dude.
There are plenty of studies displaying improved cardiovascular health in those who drink 1-4 cups of coffee a day.. Generally, cardiovascular risks of caffeine from coffee are not important for the average person’s health decisions.
Also tea has caffeine as well (technically dark chocolate too, but less than tea so not really a concern).
And again, the solution to sleep issues are to not have caffeine (tea, coffee, or otherwise) more than a few hours after you wake up.
Withdrawal symptoms are not a major concern - they are temporary at best.
Edit: there are plenty of sources of polyphenols - but frankly the average American does not get nearly enough generally. If you have a typical American diet, I would not recommend quitting coffee as a health measure unless you have already drastically increased consumption of polyphenols generally.
Coffee also is high in polyphenols - the benefits almost certainly outweigh the drawbacks. Just don’t drink coffee after the morning.
That’s why the vast majority of people who lose weight either fail or end up regaining the weight in less then a couple years.
Seriously, you have a better chance of quitting heroin than losing significant weight and keeping it off.
What. No. We drive far more, and have more cars. In 1960 nearly a quarter of households didn’t even have a car. Now that is only 10%.
Here is a study on occupational movement, which has decreased significantly (100 kcal a day - which is roughly a pound bodyweight energy lost per month).
In addition, people had far more incidental and leisure movement - considering that hours of TV watched nearly doubled.
Of course, our trash diet is a huge aspect, and probably the lions share - but the lack of movement is not insignificant
Except most people are not going to tolerate having a multiplicity of apps, and if people in your circle don’t already use signal, they definitely won’t now. Whereas previously, I was getting pretty decent traction from people slowly adding it.
Environmental nihilism only serves to make the world a worse place.
It’s the same thing with recycling, companies trying to sell the idea that climate change is a personal failing of every single person even though said companies are responsible for like 90% of carbon emissions.
God I wish this talking point would die.
I will repeat this here:
While there are a lot of factors, you really cannot understate the size of the homes being built in the US. We are building homes nearly 3x the size (despite cost per square foot only going up slightly), and pretending it has no effect on housing costs. It’s actually pretty insane.
The question is whether or not a legal-in-some-circumstances is more effective at reducing social damage than keeping it illegal.
Phone apps are absolutely not a substitute for eink screens. The reading experience is worlds apart. Support an alternative company like Kobo.
This is not the function of the phone.
Money. Donate. There isn’t a near term world where money won’t matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.
