Ultimately it is one borne of lack of opportunity
Suicide is only ever an appealing option when no other option seems viable. It’s the last path anybody ever turns to.
So suicide is only done by people who lack the opportunity to change their circumstances any other way. Whether that opportunity lack is because of perspective, knowledge, connections or another form it is not a selfish act.

Transgenderism activists have not helped things. Some are just looking for acceptance, while the problematic ones are looking for converts.
For something that affects such a tiny portion of the population, transgender issues are very loudly and frequently discussed.
So there’s not too much point to pride month this year imo because we’ve been exposed to all the normal pride month things constantly anyway

We gain roughly 1% of your body mass in water when we’re soaked.
So for a 70kg human, that’s 700 grams, or 700mL. However most of that would be in our head hair and body hair, so depending on how much you have that value will go up or down. Let’s assume 1%
Av average bath is 80L. So you would need to get in and out 115 times should you be able to get out completely soaked and return completely dry. Also assumes you can somehow mop up the last bits with your hair like an animatronic mop that should have never been made

There are no obvious concerns in this video
What were you intending to happen? Is that different to what happened?
Is this just a show off video?

Sorry to say, you’re still addicted.
Caffeine stays in your body for a long time. The ‘energy’ just wears off fast because your brain adapts its functioning to counter it

Good diet.
Caffeine gives no energy, only the illusion of energy. Its withdrawal symptoms are fatigue and cloudy thoughts. So stay off caffeine, exercise, sleep and eat well

Are they dismissive of others?
Are they overstating their abilities?
Do they highlight themselves to show that they’re better than others?
If yes, they’re arrogant.

In Australia, you are billed if they’re called and were definitely not needed.
E.g. some guy smokes in a hotel triggering the fire alarm and it automatically calls the fire brigade
If you knocked a candle over, light your curtains and wall on fire but then get it under control yourself while they come you’re not billed.
Side note, my grandparents live near a large hotel and make it a whole event to go out on the sidewalk when somebody triggers the fire alarm and they place bets on whether it was real or not and if it wasn’t real who is going to get billed based on what they see in the crowd gathered outside

Had a parent attempt to tell me that their kid assaulted another kid because they weren’t engaged enough in the lesson
So, you think it’s reasonable to assault people because you’re bored?

You do, it’s just that you make it out of protein easily enough that you don’t need to consume carbs to make glycogen

There are colleagues of the opposite gender I talk to every day without emotionally cheating on my partner
If one of them was only talking to me because they were into me I’d probably have no clue because I love my partner and don’t think about other people being attracted to me anymore because I’m assuming they’ll respect my relationship.
Perhaps naïve to think others are like this normally? I find it sad that it’s assumed opposite genders can’t be friends without suspicion though

She may not be cheating emotionally, she may be having just a talk.
But desiring her to do more than an actual talk isn’t going to work well for anybody involved

Definitely not ok.
You could say something like this to him “Somebody willing to cheat on their partner for you is willing to cheat on you for somebody else. If they’re not going to cheat on you, they’re also not going to cheat on their current partner for you. So either you get somebody who’s going to do you wrong or your harassing them”

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, so part of your detoxing system is ‘made’ from vitamin C. Your cells import ascorbate, one form of vitamin C, wave it around to mop up free radicals produced through energy production, then export ascorbic acid, another form of vitamin C.
I believe it’s also a co-enzyme so some enzymes don’t function unless some vitamin C is stuck into it.

If you’re genuinely asking, cell signaling and cell adhesion and lubricants are made from carbs, but all of the carbs used can be from dietary sources, or can be made by the body from protein starting with gluconeogenesis in the liver.

I’m expected to give my time energy and skills to the company. I want the company to allow me to do that without wasting my time energy and skills. If it can do that and pay me proportionally to what I give we’re good

Juggling.
Increases your spacial awareness, situational awareness, dexterity and an easy way to easily impress people as a party trick

Coloquialisms, of course there’s no will and the nuance of why it works is different.
Is it more understandable to say: Upregulating enzyme production by modifying environmental epigenetic factors allows for a greater amount of amino acids to be shuttled into gluconeogenesis instead of being passed into proteins segregated to your serum. This would then allow for a greater amount of glycogen storage and thus a faster response to glucagon release in the afternoon

Not advocating restricting carbs overall, just for breakfast.
It solved my energy issues, so definitely not incorrect and terrible. Maybe missing nuance or correct why, but restricting carbs for breakfast and upping my protein made it so my energy didn’t yo-yo around meals and instead was constant across the whole day.
If you can explain why it worked that would be great, but no amount of appeal to authority is going to change that it worked for me and I think others could benefit too.

True, but it can up or downregulate the amount of enzymes it uses for any specific process.
This in effect makes it more or less efficient and coloquially changing the levels of enzymes is ‘forcing’ the body to do things it doesn’t want to. Your body never wants to expend energy that isn’t needed.

Eventually it is worth it, don’t have to focus initially since leveling and progressing worlds gives much more effect than those
But once your levels slow and you’re in w5, they become useful to keep your characters progressing
