Articles/titles need to stop using the word 'teleportation' -_- it has very different implications

So not FTL right?

I live <.5 miles from Sprouts and Costco, yet it's so sketchy to cross the intersection as a pedestrian that I have resorted to driving for groceries 🥲

I love how we name laws that really mean the exact opposite of what their name implies. Very american.

A felon that had to be given immunity by the supreme court he picked himself in order to stay out of prison long enough for the richest man in the world to get him elected.

You can't make this shit up

I do 2700 steps, 2k elevation gain every friday (for the last 6 months) + hiking. My cardio has improved drastically but I am still terrible at running. No drawback really - maybe too much upper leg muscle eventually?

I live on the 4th floor, my breathing doesnt even noticably increase after climbing up, which is great.

Btw exercise is for building muscle and improving heart health. Dont delude yourself into thinking you're burning a notable amount of calories, there's a lot of misinformation out there. You lose weight by dieting.

Maybe they're waiting on that promotion that ups their salary to $914,900 to decide?

Not to mention the fact that a single cookie is nearly half your daily caloric needs

Nah there's a reason companies invest so much into targeting kids specifically. It works. Kids ask their parents for the garbage they see on TV, parents oblige.

The personally responsibility argument is bullshit for systemic issues. You think 42% of americans are obese because we're all coincidentally bad at making decisions and europeans are just smarter? Regulations matter.

163 pages - does it address the situation where consumers are given free products to review but arent explicitly told to give positive reviews? It is basically bribing them with the product rather than money

As someone who lost 60lb this year: just stop eating ultra processed garbage. Find real foods that you enjoy, and make meals out of those. Eat as much chicken, vegetables, fruits, unsweetened yogurt, fish, eggs, etc as you want and you will lose weight. Unhealthy stuff is fine to eat on occasion but only if you consider it well worth the calories and you are aware of how much you're eating. Dont mindlessly eat a family size bag of doritoes that you dont even like that much. Dont drown yourself in vegetable oil. I stopped buying loaves of bread, sweets, cereals (why are entire aisles of grocery stores dedicated to this garbage?) , carb-based snacks, etc.

Also no, working out does not mean you can eat a snicker's bar for free. The new Kurzgesagt video explains how that works. I dont believe you're gaining or even maintaining your weight at 800-1000 calories, but im just a random person.

The costco rotisserie chicken is only $5, just dont eat too much skin. Yogurt can be affordable and high in protein. Almond milk too. Nuts & beans are decent. Just look at protein to calorie ratios on cheap stuff so you maintain muscle, im sure you can find plenty of foods that work.

Buying politicians can get expensive. Wont you think of the poor billionaires that would have to cut down on their bribery if there were a wealth tax??
