I still like flattish soda, but as a kid I preferred totally flat soda because the prickling hurt more.

I read the article, but I don’t think it’s deliberate at all. There are 150M guns in the US, and lots of gun owners are morons. Episodically targeting Ohio, Texas, and California doesn’t seem like it would do much to benefit anyone.

- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 3 days ago:
From your body’s perspective, fat is insurance. Our bodies aren’t used to excess, so we’re built to accumulate fat whenever we can.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 days ago:
I currently work at a bakery as essentially a barista. I don’t have any special passion for the work, but I love the idea of being a part of putting bread on so many community members’ tables. I considered switching to a cleaning job at my company and I would have the same motivation.
I don’t expect anyone to have a passion for sweeping floors and would also think they were lying if I heard that, but they can have a passion for the work the business does and want to support it any way they can.

Managing large teams is less about managing their work and more about managing the people so that they can work more effectively.
Well done for realizing that within three years. It’s true for smaller teams as well, but with a smaller team, it’s possible to get away with managing their work, it just won’t be nearly as effective.

Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual not to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.
- Comment on Perfection. 3 weeks ago:
There’s also something to be said for the strength required to constantly operate a heavy body. I used to do a lot of community dance, and it’s so, so much easier to do that at a low weight.
Immediately post COVID, I danced for the first time in ~18 months after having gained probably 10-15 kg, and I was fucking wrecked. Since then, I’ve lost the weight, but I’m now a smoker. It’s still so much easier to dance now, and I don’t have a way to test it, but I would be surprised if I’m in better cardiovascular health now than I was then. I’m just lifting less weight with every movement.
- Comment on Oh, right... 3 weeks ago:
Your source doesn’t say that at all.
Autumn and fall are used interchangeably as words for the season between summer and winter. Both are used in American and British English, but fall occurs more often in American English.

Luckily, they might be too young to really remember it. One just turned three (so she may remember, unfortunately), and the other is under 18 months. I hope they weren’t watching.
I’m generally very squeamish, but I didn’t think the video was that bad. Then it kept playing in my head while I was trying to sleep. I have no love lost for Charlie Kirk, but I hope those kids avoid the video for as long as possible.

Oh dang, I saw that post earlier and thought it was probably just him repositioning his hands, but it really was my phone not having enough resolution.
- Comment on Perfection. 3 weeks ago:
My husband has a visually similar body type and has a very active job. He can do ten pull ups at a stretch, which is mind blowing to me. I’ve got a bmi of 20 and I’m pretty strong for my size (I lug around cases of drinks that weigh about half as much as I do regularly), but I’m nowhere close to a single pull up.
Even if this guy’s not a strongman, it’s possible to look like this and still be stupid strong. Just be short and carry your fat in your belly.

It’s a reasonable thing to think from the way it was described in my physics class, at least. I fault people a lot less for misunderstanding something that even scientists in the field don’t really understand than for something like thinking the earth is flat.

- Comment on If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. 3 weeks ago:
It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.
Really? It’s not new, at least. Vegans love to disagree about what specific things are vegan- some are cool with honey, some are cool with nestle products made without animal products, and some are cool with anything they don’t pay for. Many aren’t cool with any of that, but don’t think twice about killing a mosquito in their home.
It’s an individual choice and you’ve got to decide what you care about and prioritize that.
