Followup question: what does the mural say in the women’s bathroom?

Wait until you take in a metal show with a band that has a big following of women.

Such as…?

As noted before, this will probably present a far larger barrier to most people than a small fee. You can already host an event like this in any given public park with no permit necessary. However, most people have a spare $5 but are highly reluctant to embarrass themselves in the town square - so charging a fee for privacy is more inclusive.

Yes, more or less everything involves money. This is like when someone says “ugh, X isn’t political”, and then someone else points out that no, everything is political. If you want something that can’t just be picked up off the ground, then someone, somewhere is paying for it, in some way.

I think I got banned for telling a guy to have an honest convo with his gf in /r/relationshipadvice, lol

Yes. That’s why quality keeps declining there.

Exactly. You are limiting your ability to make things happen if you insist on making it free. If you just charge a fee, you can use it to pay a venue to host you.

While the result fits my priors, I don’t think the study is worth much, since it relies on self-reported diet, and relies on WEIRD test subjects.

I mean, make your own club. It’s as simple as finding a space to do it, inviting your friends, and putting up some posters or whatever.

But finding a space could be difficult. Many people find dancing, or especially learning to dance, in public spaces like parks to be uncomfortable. So you’ll need somewhere private, out of the public eye. You might be able to find space in a local school, library, community center, or church - but these places rarely seem to have a good vibe. Usually they have bad lighting, modernist architecture, lackluster sound systems (if they have any at all), and/or an odor that isn’t bad so much as it is vaguely off-putting. And just generally, they aren’t the sort of places where a vibrant young person wants to go to have a good time. So you probably need to find a private venue, like a bar with a spare back room. The bar might want to host you as a form of passive advertising and a way to get people in the door - but just as easily, they may want you to pay a fee for the inconvenience you cause them and for the use of their space. And fair enough - after all, they still need to make their rent.

Then, you have to actually put on the event. Picking out music, getting a good vibe going, dealing with assholes and telling them to go away, getting the word out, responding to emails, finding people to cover for you when you just can’t make it this week, etc. At which point you realize that you are essentially working a part time job, so you might as well get paid.

Yeah. Go do it!

Right. Humanity is still evolving. But “fitness”, in the long term, will likely just mean “doesn’t like to wear a condom and is really convincing about it”

I haven’t seen one…?

Edit: Yes, but it seems dead.

I received approximately the same education. Except without the last bit about philosophy. But I went to a decent school - I can’t speak for all Americans.

I achieved this 2 years ago. I spend my time rock climbing, travelling to rock climbing, hanging with friends, lifting, running, tackling little diy projects, working part time in a fun job to get some extra spending money, and trying to sleep with as many hot women as possible.

This is a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it.

I had steel cut oats for lunch. It was great, and I didn’t carb crash!

sodium isn’t bad for you unless you are eating ungodly amounts. Typically if you get too much of an electrolyte, you just piss it out.

I mean, the solution is to cook in a group. It’s just that nobody does it.

1 can beans. 1 can tomatos. pour in bowl. microwave. add garlic powder, chili powder, pepper, cayenne. Eat.

I have eaten this for months before. It is cheap, convenient, healthy, and tasty.

I would buy it literally never, because I already never buy it, because I know it makes me fat and depressed.
