Once might be an accident, but twice is much more damning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy#/...


No - I am saying that the original complaints against the man are clueless, gentrified hypocrisy.

It's like chasing homeless beggars out of a shrine dedicated to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Joseph_Labre - the patron saint of homeless beggars - while claiming that you are defending the holy dignity of the saint.


What does that matter? The country still engaged in slavery for eight nine years, but had actually started in Colonial America in Virginia in 1619. So, in Virginia slavery was legal from 1619 to 1863. Yes, a petition was filed in Pennsylvania in 1688. How is this relevant?


What does anything matter? How is anything relevant? All we can do is learn and grow.

"Workout for 2.5 hours a day, plus 60-90 minutes transport on a bike, you can pretty much eat anything you like."

Trivial to debunk. Assuming 150 pounds. Weight lifting 2.5 hours: 1051 calories Cycling Moderate 1.5 hours: 1051 calories I'll generously add 2000 calories for the rest of the days activities.

Water intake daily 3.7 liters. 3.7 liters of soda: 1600 calories Burger and Fries: 1000 calories, 3 times a day: 3000 calories.

Calories burned daily total: 4102 calories Calories ingested daily: 4600 calories Yearly weight gain: 498*365/3500 = ~51 pounds.

You can flex the numbers a number of ways, but it's obvious that you cannot pretty much eat anything you like. Exercise does not make up for a bad diet.


Pretty much anything is not the same as anything. Being able to consume 4k calories a day is pretty much anything for the vast majority of people.


Not sure where you get completely false. Like most urban legends it's a little truth and a lot of falsehoods. Lead pipes are a known health hazard. Lead pipes didn't lead to the fall of the Roman Empire.


It's completely false as in lead pipes didn't have anything to do with the fall of the Roman Empire as originally mentioned in the top comment.

That link was posted two days ago, but it's not unusual news. Phone apps are not an escape from mal/adware.


No, Smartphones are not built to addict, Social media is built to addict. Social media is the problem, not the phone.
