    Yea "rarely" is pretty misleading. It makes it seem like it almost never happens when it's just a slightly lower chance (if that's even true).

    They look much better. I don't know if it's just my exposure to AI images but the first place one looks so obviously like AI slop.

    You do get more sensitive to bad lifestyle habits in your 30s, but none of those are normal symptoms attributable to "aging" in your 30s. Really weird when people around this age a…

    I've had a reckoning with my caffeine metabolism recently. I fall asleep very easily, like head hits pillow and I'm zonked within a minute. But I often wake up at 3 or 4am and am u…

    It's pretty common. I would assume any faceless channel is all AI now. Like I saw these fitness videos and I thought the voice was a little too good for AI, especially a year ago. …

    I don't think those count as "moderate to vigorous" exercise, at least for most of the time you're doing any of them.

    Classic of course. The point being: don't make fun of people for not knowing something. In this thread we're making fun of learned helplessness.

    It's kind of amusing that you're asking for acronyms you don't know not to be used and acronyms you do know to not be spelled out.
