There’s video streaming on Lemmy?

I’ve seen some videos of people punching through windows and instantly cutting an artery, wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened here.

the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling.

That’s not true in the slightest. I agree with the fuck 23&me sentiment but you don’t have to make things up to criticize them.

You don’t even need a complicated MITM attack like that. The data is for sale by the telecoms.

It’s just like kayfabe in professional wrasslin’.

Certified medical laboratory scientist here: reckon we still do this because it’s fast, free, requires no technology, and can give you some decent insight into what’s going on. Of course, you’re going to want chemistry and microscopy to confirm anything, but color can certainly steer you towards a pathology. Even the fancy analyzers with automated dipstick chemistry and computerized microscopy report color and clarity.

Also if your pee is any darker than straw colored, drink some water. I’ve seen so much nasty piss come through the lab. Apparently a ton of people aren’t drinking enough water.

I spend a grand on a nice adjustable dumbbell set and a bench and went from 165lbs to 210lbs over the last 18 months with a combination of weight training and eating better. It’s absolutely possible to work out at home with the resources that are out there these days. I do miss some of the equipment at the gym but the convenience of a home gym is just too good.

I would point out that getting lean/shredded is not a function of the gym, it’s a function of the kitchen. You cannot out exercise a bad or even mediocre diet. You can use a gym to build muscle, increase flexibility, or improve cardiovascular fitness, but there’s no avoiding making changes to your diet if you want to decrease body fat.

They’re just moving to the app store version.

At no point did I say this was ineffective at extorting men. I am saying that due to societal biases women tend to be judged (unfairly, in case that’s not clear) more than men for any given sexual activity. This makes blackmail more effective.

I feel like this would be much easier to attribute to “boys will be boys” than an excuse for women. The odds of being negatively judged for being a slut are significantly higher for women than they are for a man.

I’m not saying men aren’t negatively judged for these things, but if you took 100 people and showed them equally compromising pictures, my money is on more people negatively judging the woman. It’s a deep rooted societal bias.

I think the reason men are more likely to send unsolicited nudes is because there’s not going to be near as much consequence as compared to a woman. Same reason I think blackmail with nudes is likely more effective on women.

Not the commenter you replied to, but I would say it’s more effective on women due societal biases. Of course men can be extorted with nudes too, but the same tactic will be more effective if used on a female population. There’s still an expectation for women to be modest, or at least more so than men. How often do you see women topless vs men?
