  • Drug-induced liver injuries rise in the U.S. as supplements grow in popularity: What to know

    Jump

  • Thanks, it looks like vitamin D is definitely one of the harder ones to get too much of naturally.

    Other sources suggest much lower upper limits, but still a lot higher than you're going to get via sunlight and diet.

    This study found 3.2% of participants were getting over 4,000 IU daily in 2013-2014 (vs <0.1% about a decade prior). That trend of increased intake has probably continued, so stats for a more recent year would be pretty interesting.

    I also didn't realise you could get vitamin D supplements as high as 10,000 IU without a prescription, so I'm sure there will be people taking that regularly without good reason to do so.

  • I admit I don't know at what point the dose becomes unsafe, but I'd imagine that taking a 1000 IU tablet daily plus the additional natural vitamin D intake could be problematic longterm.

  • I hadn't even considered this aspect of it. I had always thought it would simply be a good thing, but I guess some people will try to exploit anything for money unless there are appropriate safeguards in place. Fuck capitalism.

  • Most multivitamins/supplements/whatever have WAY more than the recommended daily amounts.

  • It really reads like he's just concerned about the backlash and future implications for Israel on the world stage.

    There's no apology and no admission of the true devastation or intent, for example:

    I do not share the opinion of former Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon, who said that Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing.

    He does not acknowledge the fact that the entire country seems to be pro-genocide, instead placing the blame solely on the current government.

    Even though he mentions some of their illegal actions, he still has lots of positive things to say about the "brave" Israeli soldiers.

  • Out of interest, how does the response from Claude differ if you just ask it directly?

  • I also read from other sources that much of the perishable food on the trucks is now rotting because they have been held at the border for so long.

  • At this point? This was part of their founding ideology.

  • POV: How it's going after deciding to start dieting 5 days ago and every ounce of executive function has been going into NOT eating the thing that will put dopamine in my brain 🙃

    Jump

  • The main reason "dieting" doesn't work is because people think it's a temporary change rather than a lifelong change.

    (You did address this, but it was quite far down, so I wanted to point it out more clearly.)

  • Kids born today are going to grow up in a hellscape, grim climate study finds

    Jump

  • The vast majority of people (including yourself) seem to think that the suffering is worth putting up with for some strange reason though...

    If life was nothing more than suffering then I don't think nearly as many people would have children. Fortunately many of us are able to get enough out of life to see it as being worthwhile. I'm sorry that's not the case for you.

  • Existence is accompanied by suffering, yes. If you can't accept that, that's on you. If you wish for all life to cease because of your views, then you're the selfish one here.

    Jump

  • That's not the outcome I'd want to see. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy in your previous comments about people having children being "selfish".

    You are clearly someone who deeply cares about the climate issue, but you are targeting your anger at people who are trying to live normal lives. If you and others in a similar position instead channelled it towards the people who are actively trying to harm the planet, I believe you would have a far chance in seeing the change you want.

    As someone who has been in a similar place in the past, therapy can be a very helpful way to reframe things. I wish you all the best.

  • Humanity needs to die

    If that's truly your view, then your continued existence is both selfish and hypocritical

  • I don't think that people having kids are selfish either. It's just one of those things you see so often regarding the issue of climate change. The people espousing that view are simply using it as an easy out to absolve themselves of any responsibility in my opinion.

    Educating and preparing younger generations to address the issues they will face is unfortunately the most likely way to resolve such issues, and I've chosen to take that challenge upon myself despite how difficult and costly it is to raise children now compared to when my parents had me.

  • Sorry for trying to find some purpose in this crappy life in the form of nurturing and caring for another person.

    I think my kids will still be able to acknowledge that being born today is still far better than being born in basically any other time during the vast majority of human existence though.

    Edit: Showed your comment to my daughter and she said "I'm happy to be alive, thanks very much"
