I just got back from the gym and it was surprisingly empty. Actually, more empty than normal.

My experience from lifting now for 30+ years and seeing thousands of people lift is it is: 1. Genetics.

Everything else is a distant second or third. This was actually something that was widely understood in 90s bodybuilding magazines. Lifting is mostly a display of genetics. That worked when you could sell magazines of genetic freaks working out. Without the magazines you have to sell all this nonsense like 1 gram per lb of protein. Even though I know the early research was 1 gram per kilo and then Americans just changed that to 1 gram per lb. I mean it is just such obvious nonsense that the optimal amount would happen to be the exact integer amount vs body weight that is easiest to remember, how convenient for people who sell protein lol. duh.

So just 1 ng/ml between the treatment and control groups made such a noticeable difference? Damn, I'm running around with 12 ng/ml. Guess I should abstain from becoming a spy and covert actions in general

I wonder if the results change with long term treatment instead of a one-time testosterone application

Most of you would not even be close to guessing the top ten states with the highest skin cancer rates.

Utah Minnesota Vermont Arizona Iowa Idaho New Hampshire South Dakota Nebraska Kentucky

Skin damage, and skin cancer, is not just about the sun. It is about genetics and nutrition as well.

It's not just about cancer. it's about aesthetics, how leathery you look.

> Kids not being informed about the war crimes

Interesting to frame this as a bad thing. As a parent, I would take that as a feature, not a bug. To me this is very suspicious why there seem to be so many people here, who I am assuming are mostly adults, advocating so strongly strongly for <16 olds told be on social media, as if it was something they need.

You sound like a Russian government official.

* you add an HTTP header saying "I am a kid" * porn web servers read and handle this headers * if they don't (easy to test), they get fined

It is easy to implement, easy to monitor, and will probably just work if the government do the effort to monitor and enforce it. If not, it will just be an other DNT header

What stops a kid from saying "I am an adult" via this header without some draconian client-side enforcement?

Wouldn't the more reasonable argument be "The economy is failing. Keep the kids gooning to distract them"

Maybe it's similar to the handling of home office. A person at home isn't spending 30 bucks for lunch in the city. The kids have to stop gooning and go back to lurking around in shopping malls

It's actually better to do this on the device.

If you can give children something that is basically whilelisted access then it reduces the need to try to filter the open web.

I don't understand how this is supposed to be water tight without client-side scanning etc.

State parliaments pass controversial Youth Media Protection Act amendment. Parents can now "secure" devices for children with one click.
