@Mastokarl @philpem it's still an unconscionable environmental impact and also contributes to people getting less and less capable of doing things themselves (iirc recent research said they're actually losing IQ points)

@Mastokarl suggesting people move away from commercial platforms and then use LLMs to code them instead of learning HTML is pretty fucking wild   @philpem

A new study finds that #COVID19 infections age blood vessels, especially for women. The aging is equivalent to five years, causing stiffer blood vessels and increasing cardiovascular risks.

Not sure how often you want to get a virus that ages your blood vessels, damages brains, and appears to lift cancer risks. But based on the photos I see on social media, with people traveling and at events without masks, the answer is that many folks think they can get it often.

it's like I turned 41 and my body suddenly started getting old (I've always had babyface). Like, I have this flap of skin/fat at the top of my arms and I HATE it and I'm having SUCH a hard time losing weight. Is it the hEDS? The MCAS? The testosterone? Am I not taking my metformin regularly enough? Who the FUCK knows, there's so much health stuff I need to figure out. But I just want to say that I'm angry that I missed out on being a young masc person and wasted so much time cosplaying woman and now all I get is going straight to old dude. 😩

I'm sure this is just a temporary phase of despair but fuck this fucking shit. It's so hard to be be fit when you have stupid chronic health issues.
