in general if people had to rely on themselves they would be less inclined to let themselves fall apart like that

it depends, people can definitely suffer from not having people to rely on

friends and family is fine, but society as a whole should not be responsible for your bad decisions

I probly shouldnt have to do their job

or how about this: we need to teach better self-reliance. it shouldnt only be forced, but taught

people dont feel like they have to be accountable to some faceless bureaucracy, but if you have to face your family everyday then you will hopefully at least feel shame

not remedially, to these slobs who should be chained down and made to crawl for food

to kids

people have a tendency of rationalizing bad life decisions, using bogus or incomplete "logic"

its easy to do without trying or realizing

and areas concerning health have a lot of bs information circulating

true

and a lot of people trying to get rich

by peddling snake oil

i cant even figure out a diet that wont poison me

people hit me up trying to get me to try their new low-oxolate diet for chronic pain and im like dude, we dont even have the same condition

there is an entitlement culture though, people don't live in reality. How many people do you think go camping, or learn important skills. Especially in the cities, they just float by while they get stuff for free, if shit ever hit the fan they would be screwed.

and its just like they want me to try it so 3 months later ill tell them its super working so they can feel like its working for them or something

it's cool that people want to help each other, but there's so much misunderstanding of science, especially concerning placebos and how anecdotal their own experiences are in the greater picture.

i'm skeptical of entitlement because parents give their kids lots of stuff and dont teach them how to not be bitches about it. . . that those kids still grow up lost

its not like theyre getting what they actually need, when theyre throwing a fit over not getting a new car or something

There are a lot of people self diagnosing too @Mal

you cant trust anything they say about medicine

i have to selfdiagnose, my docs are trash

Yes. I can't count how many people think they have gluten intolerance.

that I've talked to personally

mostly women, but they seem to be generally more concerned about their health, or at least doing something about it, than most men I know.

its too faggy for a guy to not eat garbage

probably a deeper issue with men, not wanting to seem weak for seeking help

nah, just combine it with exercise and you are seen as an athlete

the food fads are what i find the most annoying though, every six months there is some new miracle food and you have to hear about it all over again

yep

I try to ignore or zone people out, when they start talking about that shit

I just tried to look for some really old stuff on Ultimate Warrior's blog about eating healthy

it looks like since he died, his wife took over his blog, and blogs on it, and it's weird

Wasn't it weird before? Knowing him, anything else would surprise me.

Yes, it was bizarre

but i find this to be in poor taste

Why would she write over his archive? I cant even find the post im looking for

The man has come and left us his work and left

The guy would not eat bad food under any circumstances, he gets on airplanes with 15 cans of tuna
