I suspect (but have no science to back it up) that it’s a risk factor for many things. I had ear infections more or less constantly in my childhood and were on antibiotics the whole time until they finally stooped working. The end result is that I’m now deaf on one ear. I get why they were prescribed, it stopped the acute pain but no one thought about the long term

This is vey much what I had in mind, I think Rebecca Ferguson is like 12 years older than Timothée Chalamet

I can’t help wondering how the AI would judge the clearly very attractive, but not white lady on the front page of the link.

Very much so, advancements in cosmetic surgery as well as the strict training and supplements that were not available for older generations of actors. Take someone like Kumail Nanjiani who very clearly were on HGH for his role in The Eternals

But neither is older actors. People like Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and Robert Redford played hunks well into their 50s

Almost got misgendered. I have long hair and shaved an hour ago, but still. Also, guessed I have a BMI of 20

Sure, if you think the point of twitter is to build a brand by dispensing your profound wisdom from up on high. The vast majority of people use twitter as entertainment, and the fact that people who like to pontificate about federated microblogs don't get this is why it won't take off in any meaningful way.

Whenever I buy cheap clothes I end up regretting it. A quality t-shirt will not only last 3 times as long as a cheap one, it’ll actually look good during its lifespan

Beer is pretty funny that way. The most fancy, expensive and artisanal beard guy stuff is often impossible to distinguish in a blind test, it's just sharp tasting hop juice.

It looks like it has a mechanical keyboard. I hope it's not loud, because any use case I can see for a device like this is pulling it up in a bar or café and firing of some quick stuff.

One problem with being a new employee, junior or not, is that it's hard to know who to ask or has worked on something similar before when you don't really even know your coworkers. The thing I miss most when WFH is overhearing relevant information. Teams dailies do not really solve that problem.

An artisinal loaf of bread large enough for two people to consume before it goes stale costs ~$10 where I live.
