I love how this is the common sense answer and it's the conclusion in the study as well.

But if you read the other comments here, you see people arguing about Roe v. Wade, racism, statistical errors, covid vaccines, etc.

When the whole time the answer is just right there, the hippo in the room if you will lol. Anything to avoid personal responsibility I guess.

> Anything to avoid personal responsibility I guess

Something can be caused by obesity without the primary “blame” being personal responsibility. If Americans are more obese than Scandinavians, is it because there just happen to be more individuals in the US who lack personal responsibility?

Societal problems are a result of societal sickness. We should aim at the root societal causes rather than attribute personal moral failings to the individuals who are a product of that society.

10,000% this. Sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet and little to no regular exercise is a recipe for health complications throughout life.

A comment under the tweet says: > yt-dlp stopped working this week. Literal better maintained forks are available

Anyone know what is being referred to? I thought yt-dlp was the best

There were some issues with 403's on YouTube that got resolved quickly: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10397 The poster has no idea what he's talking about (typical Twitter). "Better maintained" can't be possible when it's just a week.

I’m using YouTube Explode for Dart, appears to be working.

Lookup Japan's Keirin racing. I think it's pretty much that. IIRC at the top levels they also require the racers to stay onsite under observation for several days before a race.

Tbf, millions is spent on that part. This seems to be a drop in the bucket.

The house and property was being sold for 5 million. Spare the "food" and "shelter" schtick, no one involved was going to be starving because of this.

The house was not worth $5,000,000. Let's be super generous and assume that's $500,000 worth of house. The land itself, the location, that's worth $4,500,000. Why should a $4,500,000 plot of land be kept out of production without anyone paying?

For what it's worth there seems to be a massive fuck up in the linked article. If you look at the original story, it lists the house as $500,000 and not $5 million. The land itself was bought for $22k in 2018

Well this is a massive game changer lol I don't care about this anymore

Someone is paying, that's what that pesky property tax bill is.

> I can’t recall the specifics but within a week of COVID lockdowns and no commutes, carbon and pollution in atmosphere plummets

I don't deny the impact of lessening the number of people commuting, but how much of that was commuting and how much was everything being shut down?

I don't know that there would be as large an impact as people may hope.

I'd rather have the nickle.

Has anyone read the underlying studies for the first section? I tapped out but I find it somewhat hard to believe that rates of hard substance abuse are higher in places like Cupertino than in some ghetto school (the author specifically implies this with their vagueness).

I can see high achieving kids having an unneeded Adderall prescription or binge drinking, but am I really being led to believe that rates of crack abuse are similar? Did they look at kids who drop out/never attend (probably not)? Just feels a bit off.

> Even here on HN there are comments trying to downplay the issue by portraying the victims as mostly wealthy or landlords, which are presumably acceptable victims to people who like these kind of narratives.

After skimming some of the comments here I'd even go so far as to say that it's the majority of the comments here.
