Computer hardware has been getting faster and faster for decades at this point, but my computer still slows down. Like WTF. The dumbass programmers take the extra power given to them and squander it instead of optimizing their code. Microsoft word could run pretty well on a windows 98 PC, but the new Word can slow down PCs that are 5-10 years old. Programmers are complete idiots sometimes…

To be fair he does record everything and put it on his website (his protocols, his test results, etc.)

Tankies.

I am very smart

People are too quick to react to this so I’ll just leave part of a comment I made from a thread a while back:

Tbh there’s a lot of cope in the comments here. Like getting older isn’t just about looking older. It’s also not being able to recover from injuries and being at higher risk of things like cancer, etc. because your cells become less efficient at killing damaged cells and regenerating healthy ones. Try being 16 and tearing a tendon vs being 40 and doing it. It’s honestly not fair, and tbh youth is kind of “wasted on the young.”

And this problem affects societies as well. Every developed nation has an aging population and the child birth rates are declining as well. I’d rather extend my youthful time on this planet than be in constant pain due to aging. If people are delaying childbirth, then having healthier parents at an older age is also nice, especially if you want to play with an active kid. And yes I know “diet, exercise, sleep” is important but tbh it sounds like a capitalist saying “you just need to buckle down and find a job.” Like I fucking know that stuff is important but it’s not gonna fix everything.

If anti-aging research was being done in Cuba or China the comments would unironically be “damn gimme some of that youth energy Xi!!!” All the angry sentiments in the comments here come off as libertarian-bro contrarianism (for contrarianism sake).

EDIT: Just to be clear, I do not support or condone exploiting young people as blood bags. I was talking about anti-aging research in general. I thought we just had a big thread about how people need to stop taking the worst possible interpretation of comments here. Jesus…

As for the article itself, it’s just full of snark and honestly super off-putting. If he gains some insight into re-vitalizing his penile function, then that could go a long way to helping millions of men who suffer with these kinds of problems. It could also potentially translate into helping women who have sexual problems as they age as well. After federation the light-speed insta-takes seem to have increased exponentially smh…

Actually, it was me that he had beef with, although upon further clarification we really didn’t disagree that much. Here’s the link for context: https://hexbear.net/comment/3584839. Others had well thought out and nuanced takes (https://hexbear.net/comment/3584973). One person, on the other hand, thought that growing old was “beautiful” basically and got pushback on how aging is super painful and to visit a nursing home to see the reality (https://hexbear.net/comment/3586249)

There are still imbalance issues in massive countries like China and India, and the last thing I want is a bunch of frustrated men in a capitalist dystopia (= fascism pretty much). The number I see from a quick search is around 70 million more men than women in India and China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/). They need to figure this shit out quickly. And it can’t just be let women from other countries immigrate because then the countries that they left will also have an imbalance. I’m not sure how to deal with this issue.

Wrinkles aren’t just cosmetic, they form as the connective tissue in your skin breaks down, making your skin thinner, more fragile, and less elastic. This in turn limits what you can do and experience.

You’re exactly right.

No more wrinkles, no more gray hair… We will have lost something beautiful

This is what lack of scientific literacy does to a MF. Ask any older person and they’ll tell you that being old (wrinkles, aches, etc) sucks. It’s a shame that some people don’t get that.
