It is demonstrably true that life on a planet alters the conditions of the planet (which then alters the life, etc). Most glaring is the abundance of oxygen in our atmosphere. We don't look for oxygen on other planets because oxygen is necessary for life; we look for oxygen because it's unlikely to exist in high densities without life to produce it.
The sci-fi novel Death's End by Cixin Liu (third in a series) further suggests that life alters the universe rather than just local systems, which was a fun idea. He's a rather long-winded author, but he's easy to forgive.
That said, this is the first time I'm hearing of the hypothesis by name, so I can't be sure what all it says. A quick skim lines up with reality though.
I need this on my fridge.
Similar experience for me with the Babadook. It illustrates that you will never be rid of your mental problems and trauma, that trying to be cured or normal is a fool's errand. They're things you'll have to deal with forever, and the more you confront them the less they'll control you.
It's not only the caloric density, but also the actual makeup of the food. The bacteria species that live inside us are determined by what we feed them, and they heavily influence our feelings/behavior and body composition. Simply burning more calories with the wrong diet is an uphill battle.

Celebrities are already role models by default; that's just how fame works. Do you want them to be good ones or bad ones?
Genetic evidence suggests that carnivory developed by co-opting and repurposing existing genes which had established functions in flowering plants
I wonder how her studies are going.
I took that other post as a riff on the kinds of people who put unrealistic and shallow demands on an idealized partner while offering little to nothing in the way of good partnership material themselves.
Why?
