I recall another thread a few weeks ago where someone suggested a no political discussion day, and everyone down-voted him and gave them angry responses. I recall one up-voted response saying "everything is political".

This place has become an echo chamber for cranky old Linux users and is really uninviting to anyone else.

One of the things I miss about Reddit is the diversity of opinions and viewpoints on the platform. (I didn't love the insane amount of reposts and bot traffic)

Indeed there are, but just under half of all of medical studies performed world wide are performed in the States, roughly half of the world's pharmaceutical companies based in the States, and the US has consistently lead the world in medical innovations, with almost 50 percent more innovations than from the EU and Switzerland combined.

My point is not to sound US centric, but to say there is a lot of capital and willpower in the US pharmaceutical industry, and without that willpower it will be significantly harder to get rapamycin accepted as a viable longevity drug.

See that's the interesting thing about rapamycin, it's an old drug that has been used for immuno-suppression for years now, only just now scientists are discovering this interesting side effect. The patient on rapamycin has expired so you can get a generic prescription for cheap.

But ironically because the patent expired there's no money in it for the drug companies to get it approved for longevity purposes, so who knows if it will ever become approved for this purpose.

None. The bastards have been known to eat me alive, but it just seems like a fools errand, as if I'm going to make a dent in their population.

Besides I'm morally opposed to killing living beings, so the act seems rather cruel unless I'm in mortal danger.

As someone who spent virtually the entirety of his life in a inner city in the North East, of North America we have lots of mosquitoes here. Which parts of the world do you come from? Some place with a good mosquito control department I assume?

Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I'd argue they aren't too great for your mental health.

As someone who went through the NY public school system many years ago, I can confirm hats were/are hard banned. Like unless it was for religious reasons you really couldn't even think about putting something on your head.

Cell phones were also banned in my youth but I guess times have changed?

God I'd kill for a place with no trolls, politics, shit posts, where your allowed to disagree and have spirited discussions on topics but mods would step in before it becomes an argument.

I feel like everywhere you go online nowadays there's a `well ackwchullly' type in the corner. I'd love a place people can get together share ideas and joke around.

Long story short, if you build it they will come.

Yes i understand what you are getting at there, but my question is precisely how long does one have before the wheels fall off while eating a strict vegan diet? Are we talking a matter of days, weeks, months, years, or decades?

I'm curious, why the holdup, why not move there asap?

So precisely how long are vegans able to survive without suffering ill effects? Because I mean we've all heard of people who have lived on that diet long term, so at what point do the wheels start to fall off so to speak? Is there some kind of extended latency period where you are okay before you get sick, or are vegan influencers just pretending to be healthy?

Also your how do you propose we change our agricultural practices so that our food supply isn't tainted by sick meat grown in poor conditions? There's a lot of evidence that there's not enough land mass on earth to feed everyone a diet of free range grass fed beef. Or do you propose we run full steam ahead with factory farming and damn the consequences?

I do, I can't say it helps me recall much though.
