There’s nothing there to justify doubling the price in my opinion. Which is funny as I was considering buying premium as a form of donation.

I think it was just nice to see vertical passing and attacking impetus rather than the overly patient play we’ve become accustomed to.

That last goal and even the shit corner by Madueke were disconcerting. We need to be better.

Anyway. We move, is it?

Indeed!

So a couple things. Eze was MOTM, followed by Havertz and that made me happy.

I’m not sure if it was just a second half thing or it was Ødegaard, but the lack of pace and the hesitation towards the incisive passes jarred me.

I’m also really not convinced about Hincapie.

Back in the day, I’d prefer hosted links over torrents. Felt safer and was less hassle.

Honestly, this article is a bit of a mixed bag of frustration for me because the conversation always seems to miss the root issues.

In many non-white cultures, feeding isn’t just about nutrition; it’s an expression of love. We have “feeders”, such as our mums and grandmas who show affection through food. It’s nurturing, but it creates this massive societal pressure to pile on the plates because “he’s a big boy” or “she’s a big girl.” By the time we’re old enough to pick our own portions, we’ve totally normalized eating way more than we actually need. You look at a “gourmet” portion and think it’s tiny, even though it’s exactly what a human body requires. We really need to rectify that.

But it’s not just a cultural thing; the government has to step up. Why is it that shit food with zero nutrients is so much cheaper than the good stuff? We need real intervention: punish the companies pushing nutrient-void junk and reward the ones selling whole, nutrient-dense food.

And then there’s the inevitable villainising of GLP-1 drugs that we see in these articles. People complain about people “taking the easy way out” or being “materialistic,” but you can’t build a whole society around materialism and “the aesthetic” (thanks capitalism) and then act shocked when people do whatever they can to fit in. Instead of attacking the symptoms, let’s look at the root causes: the lack of education and the lack of support.

The article mentions that 80% of GPs find it difficult to talk to parents about this for fear of them getting angry or upset. That tells me we need to look at our “bedside manner.” Empathy is a massive part of getting these messages across; if parents feel judged or blamed, they shut down.

At the end of the day, we need to teach people how to track. Tracking is everything. It’s not about being “good” or “bad” every day; it’s about the weekly average. If you’re consistent, you can have a treat! We need to get that literacy out there so we don’t leave kids in a position where they’re being bullied or left out. We’ve got to break the cycle.

I love the bleeding edge and all that comes with it, but I’m not willing to give up on a lot of the apps I use and to be honest, I don’t wanna give up on Material 3 Expressive either.

Nah, it’s just I remember when Ubuntu Touch was first a thing. I was so excited for it.

I’m old, I like to own my music. I’ve never liked the idea of leasing music. I’m sure Spotify works wonderfully for some users, for me, Navidrome does everything I need of it.

I never jumped on board with it. But people use it and it’s news.

I thought the match would be a snore-fest. It was actually really entertaining.

I genuinely thought a bunch of new businesses were opening locally and wanted to support them for their longevity, it’s only reading this that I realise they’re all just brands. It’s incredibly deceptive and they absolutely shouldn’t be legally allowed to get away with it.

Welcome back to the land of yo-ho-ho, because these fuckers are overly greedy.

This is what AI is supposed to be for, parsing and presenting data.

WTF? Why?

Things will improve after the major release with more fine grained controls. Being able to limit community interactions to members will drive up quality engagement and that should drive up retention rates.

As the article points out, whether on the drugs or not, anyone that eats less will struggle to get nutrients unless you actively pursue them. It’s just a matter of common sense and medical diligence.

Yes on both.

Reading this makes me happy.

Thank you. Just what I needed.
