Granted this was 1999 but I wish I could unsee the shit I saw one day when I did a SELECT password FROM user

And what is a private key? How exactly do you “keep” it across multiple devices? It’s all still black magic to me.

Nobody said “cured,” that’s exaggerating it to make a straw man out of it. “Significantly less likely to suffer from it” is the finding. The people in question may never have even been depressed at all.

Apology accepted.

I will need some acknowledgement of my “sad people eat comfort food” argument I have made in clear terms multiple times.

Oh it’s bright and clear as day that you hold this stereotype of depression to be a proven fact, yet it’s nothing but your dearly held stereotype. This is not a factual description of depression at large suitable to tip the interpretation of some experimental data. I’m much more persuaded by the mountain of scientific evidence that fresh fruits and vegetables benefit health. Your argument is based on cultural stereotypes.

If we already knew that eating healthy makes you healthy, then why are we running for alternative explanations here? Why can’t eating healthy make you emotionally healthy, too?

People in this thread seem to have a strong attachment to the stereotype of depressed people gorging themselves on junk food for comfort, but that’s all it is: a stereotype - hardly a reliable description of depression.

It’s exactly what you fucking said, right here:

it hardly takes a brain surgeon to realise that people with depression will indulge in their comfort foods more often. Doritos don’t lead to depression; depression leads to doritos.

So again, why is this SO obvious to you while it’s unthinkable that eating well may be good for you? Any evidence whatsoever that this is the direction the causal arrow points? Or just snappy phrases like “it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize…?”

Did anyone say this is the only variable? One thing can have an effect without being the entire explanation.

I take these daily and while I always have good shits, the pills didn’t turn me into some kind of shit machine. Results may vary I guess.

Well that’s a pain in the ass, isn’t it?

I believe it though. Researchers out there have shown that even things like time of day can make a HUGE difference in the measurable results of different remedies and medicines. It’s inconvenient as shit for those of us who would like to wake up, chug a handful of pills, and get on with our day.

Why are you so eager to believe that happy people eat vegetables rather than the other way around? You don’t think there’s corroborating evidence generally that a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables is good for you?

I’m the opposite. When I’m feeling run down and shitty, I ask myself when’s the last time I had a salad, and go make one. It always makes me feel better. Not just better, more completely full and satisfied.

While wealthier people have access to better food, is it that hard to believe that eating well also benefits your health and well being?

Correlation is never causation? I’m not sure how I feel about that phrasing. Any causation will effect a correlation, so it seems the proper way to think about it is “correlation is not necessarily causation.” Unless we’re just talking about denotations here, as in “correlation and causation are different words.” I guess in that sense, ambulance is never dildo.

Find a $2 scam you can pull hundreds of times a day and you’re a third world billionaire.

We’d need to know exactly how far back because NewEgg has for years been just like Amazon: a listing service for junky third party sellers.

I heard MAGAts are placing miniature replicas of the Charlie Kirk death tent in front of their Christmas trees instead of nativities.

Yes I cannot fathom how they can do this without also assaulting customers. Not that that’s the main thing wrong with it. It’s just a case of people seeing other people and sneering “those fucking people - look, they’re existing again!”

I think Epstein did everything he could to appear with as many notable people as possible. As you say, it doesn’t mean much just to have been in the same place as him. Now, on the other hand, we have people who were seen with him repeatedly, and even said on mic that they knew he was into young girls. Now THATS damning.

I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.

There’s another possibility I don’t see anyone talking about. It could just be the higher ups at Mozilla doing the old performative “we’re doing AI” dance for their shareholders and the investment community. Everyone assumes they are 100% sincere about embracing AI but this could simply be them paying the AI tax that all companies seem required to pay right now.

If this is plausible, then we should just wait for it to manifest as actual feature changes and then judge. Right now this is just high level messaging and PR.
