Not to any meaningful degree WRT skimmed vs whole milk.



Not alone, obviously-- yet saturated fat builds up. A single glass of whole milk contains 20% of an adult's recommended intake. That's... actually a damn lot.
I'm just saying re-adding the nutrients back in isn't quite the same.

Saturated fat isn't bad for you.

And I'm saying it's not meaningfully different. You can note a slight difference; just as I can note that skimmed milk is actually slightly better for calcium and potassium. There's absolutely no good reason to say skimmed milk isn't "real milk", as if its woefully lacking in nutrients kids need.

Saturated fat isn't bad for you.
Overconsumption is, and overconsumption is extremely common, and whole milk contains loads of it.

Explain to me this, why is Destiny 2 failing but Skyrim SE isn't?
Bethesda games have kind of extreme longevity in general because of the modding community. The thing most likely to cut into Skyrim's popularity will be TES6, presuming they remember to keep the modding community happy.

Not just sexy mods (though those exist and I do use CBBE because Bethesda models for men and mer are consistently horrible between games), but there's so much more out there (for example, my current mod list centers on Legacy of the Dragonborn and every mod that can make use of it along with about 2/3 of Enairim and several other things). Now load up Skyrim and do a playthrough where you focus on the Dealing With Daedra mod and branch from it into vicn's mods starting with Vigilant.

The only hot character is Kaine, and she's trans/intersex (depending on translation I believe).
Pretty sure it's supposed to be intersex, after all top surgery isn't really a thing you'd think an outcast girl from the Aerie would have available and she's got both boobs and a bulge. Amusingly as far as toning down sexualization of characters in the remake they made her bulge smaller. Also supposedly in the part where you play as her in the new ending where if you try to look up her skirt she beats the crap out of the camera and if you do it enough she eventually kicks the camera hard enough to kill the player, causing a game over and you get an achievement, which feels like a very Kaine reaction.

Which reminds me I need to go back to playing Nier Replicant ver sqrt(1.5) - I had ground through it because I wanted to see the new ending, was on my Ending C playthrough in the new boat content when I quit. Not a fan of the boat, though the boss for the part isn't bad. It not being in the original is one of the things I actually prefer about the original.

I'm saying that people on your side of the political spectrum would consider the game woke garbage for having a trans person, and would claim that she cannot be hot due to having a penis.
I don't recall a bunch of outrage posting about Kaine being intersex when either Nier or it's ver sqrt(1.5) remake came out, mysteriously. Other than a few quips about her bulge being smaller in the remake.

I'm sure if you squint and imagine hard enough you can somehow make out some tits and ass in Tetris and Minecraft.
Minecraft is heavily moddable (which is why it has TES-like extreme longevity), and yes, that includes horny mods. Give players a game where it's possible to do horny stuff and someone *will*. I figure it'll only take a few weeks after release before Life By You (imagine the Sims made by Paradox, it released today) has porn mods unless they made it super hard to mod, and probably only a few weeks after the first porn mods before said porn mods include really extreme stuff (most of that time being spent designing animations, modeling BDSM gear for horses, that sort of thing).

I posted a nutritionist saying whole milk is the healthiest milk. The problem is kids don't consume enough fat.

Oh, it's definitely bad for me. I need to limit that better or they'll stick me on a statin soon enough.

That is not a universal rule though.
It's not the saturated fats but the combination of bad fats and sugar basically.


The video is actually about heart disease and the mechanisms that cause it vs just seed oils.

I don't drink milk either, I'd rather get calories from my food vs my drinks. But if you do drink milk, whole milk is the healthiest.
And you're saying this solely because of its saturated fat content, even though there's no reason to think American kids-- experiencing an obesity epidemic-- are underconsuming it?

I mean, you and I both know the only reason you're arguing so insistently about this is to shit on NY Democrats.

I actually do play Genshin occasionally.

Yes, many characters are attractive and some of the outfits revealing. But as far as "sex appeal as center of gravity in the game", i don't agree. It is still far more subdued compared to Nikke or Raid or even Honkai let alone actual Eroge. Overall it is pretty tame in its genre. There are loads of games out there selling primarily on sex appeal and they all fail to get as popular as Genshin.

And it has many other qualities that might attract or retain users : It has proper exploration that is varied enough, it has lots of story quests and character quests highlighting the ensemble. It has good art and passable music. It is relatively stable and bug free. It doesn't rely on its users to generate content via PvP. The grinding is tolerable. It gets regularly fresh content.

As for what gets pulls ... In the first year (before they made double character banners that are harder to judge), the most popular banners by far were Venti, Klee and Raiden, of whom only Raiden might be somewhat sexually attractive, but all three had heavily figured in stories, Raiden and Venti as archons particularly prominently. (The only other archon, got fifth place). So no, story and power are probably more relevant than sex appeal for Genshin players.


Now Genshin doesn't have ugly characters. It has characters in nonrevealing outfits. It has childlike and actual child characters. But actual ugly characters are missing from this game primarily making money by selling characters.
Of course, there would still be people playing Genshin, but there would be a lot less without pretty and or sexy characters. Plus even characters whom the fanbase doesn't like like Xinyan due to both gameplay and lack of long hair have people playing them and begging the company for longer hair.

I'm sure if you squint and imagine hard enough you can somehow make out some tits and ass in Tetris and Minecraft.
Minecraft is highly moddable, and Tetris is communist trash.

So I guess games becoming more mainstream isn't an issue after all.
As long as they don't let people ruin the essence of what should appeal to humans biologically for a political agenda(normalizing women with flat chests, fat men and women, etc, people without geometrically symmetrical faces)

If you think "appealing to everyone" is what's wrong with these companies, I don't know what to say to you.
Your right most people don't hate this it's extremely unpleasant to look at people, and people with victimhood-based identities who hate this.

Yup, I'm sure there's tons of LGBTQ people on the anti-inclusive side.
Trump literally has trans supporters, and supporters among men and women of color and even Asians. Do you think most people would be against a certain group of people going into companies, investment groups, social capitalism, etc. telling them certain people with unpleasing characteristics look great?

Even from a purely sales-based, artistically-devoid perspective, this is horseshit. The list of highest sellers of all time-- and of highest selling modern releases-- is chock full of games that aren't full of tits and ass.

Honestly, this just makes me think you must be 14. This is what you think art should boil down to? Touch grass, read a book, engage with stuff beyond the level of whether it makes your dick hard.
I have a job, and I have a bookshelf full of them but despite these books suck journal articles are better, and I love war.

Fat people do appeal to humans biologically. Being fat used to mean that you were wealthy and healthy.

These days with an abundance of food in the western world being fat generally is seen as being lazy and glutenous, but in many food insecure countries being fat is still very much desirable on a biological level.

I'm not saying this to mean that you need to be attracted to fat people, but just to point out that your love of skinny people doesn't have anything to do with "biology" as you claim.

Yes but not an abundance of good food. Most of it is chemical-laced. I go to my local Korean grocery in a low-income area, and 1/3 of the foodstuff is sugar. There are two types of Walmarts ones that sell everything aka the supercenters, and the other one. The other one sells 1/2 of its food section as involving sugar. This is normalizing that. It keeps investors happy at the cost of everyone else. Americans, Brazilians, Chinese, Mexicans, and soon the rest of the world will be overweight. The same ESGs that keep people in their cars vs trains and somewhat buses, big houses vs cities, and healthy prepared delis vs unhealthy sugary nonsense. As for the flat chest, generally, there is a medium amount that doesn't strain the back, and as for the geometrically symmetrical that should be solved with one-day plastic surgery(I don't recommend it right now)_.

But social liberals keep defending ESGs, call Elon Musk companies what they are but they are the only way Americans will be green, he sells solar panels, and BEVS and yet gets lower ESG scores than many climate polluters. Leftists like AOC will defend Nancy Pelosi for one issue while she knifes them and does insider trading or the other ones will defend Russia which is a supersized petro state that invades other countries and kidnaps children to siberia. Or the newly elected president of Mexican who by 99% of metrics is a pretty good head of state but runs a partial narco-state full of murderers with assault rifles and whose only chance of declawing the cartels isn't when Americans give up on guns it's when like Americans and Japanese people stop having babies, and those who are children rise to the top due to increased resources per person. The Japanese Yakuza and American prisons are a retirement home.

Also, many people who call themselves liberal don't act liberal(Gen X, and Baby Boomers), I hated my school district superintendent and called him out on X/Twitter. I still voted in a ballot measure that would raise my taxes by thousands each year, but the retirees in my district voted it down so now our top 5% school district which is attracting more and more minority kids and is pushing them to success will have to teach classes in trailers.

The democratic party enables this, and even Biden somewhat enables this, but he's ruthless enough to calculate a way to raise taxes and get good policy passed just enough for America to get better but not enough to lose out on campaign contributions vs the orange tornado of Trump. Social policies are PR.

Edit: By Local grocery store I meant local to where I work.

Dietary fat doesn't make you fat. The more you replace saturated fats with other calories, the fatter people have gotten. I bet kids have only gotten more overweight since the whole milk ban has been in place. When I do eat dairy (or anything) like cheese (just had some Supremo Chihuahua cheese made with whole milk obviously), I purposefully eat the normal type that comes with all the fat; low fat stuff is worse for you.

Why can't you simply say when democrats do shit that makes no sense? Banning whole milk is stupid, doesn't matter who did that to me, it's pretty dumb. The shit that's now allowed in school lunches is the stuff that should be banned.

I'm not the one that posted a complete lie. Republicans are not trying to take away free lunches to needy kids.
