Never doubt the impact bad incentives can have on a large group of individual actors.

bsky doesn't have an algorithm. If that was on their feed they followed the person or were looking at a relevant feed.

There was absolutely a sweet period around when indy games were taking off and after game guides had fallen out of favour, where secrets like this in medium sized games (or huge indy hits) could remain for years.

If you are serious about losing weight, what I would suggest you do is start recording what you are eating in detail to see where the calories are actually coming from. Make a spreadsheet and track it. Also if you aren't already active, pick up some activity to become less sedentary. Doesn't need to be working out, could be a sport, could be going for more walks.

Can you give an example of what you currently eat? I.. doubt you aren't losing weight if you are really eating 900 calories a day.

This is what most hacking is.

Eeeh. Its reasonably to try I guess, but looking at the examples, its cherry picked promotional materials where the words jump and dive were used as swimming related puns for going to the museum. None of them were literal advertisements about jumping into the sprinkle pool.

Plenty of latino people identify as white. Another group have fled to the US from socialist countries like Cuba, and don't like the left. Yet another have gone through the immigration process properly and resent the idea of others being able to bypass what they had to go through. (obviously there is some heavy overlap in these groups). When you add them all together its not an insubstantial % of latinos.

I'm Canadian not European, but I think its nearly impossible to overstate how much the US's allies don't want Trump reelected.

The American chocolate thing isn't about chocolate %. An American came up with a process to help preserve the dairy, however this creates an amount of butyric acid as a bi-product. Completely fine health wise, but the only time a normal person would otherwise encounter butyric acid is when vomiting. Its largely responsible for the iconic taste and smell associated with vomit. So for people that didn't grow up eating American chocolate, American chocolate literally tastes like vomit.

Trump has an amount of media savvy to him which matters a lot in popularity contests. He's also incredibly intellectually lazy and unwilling to put in the work to get things done. The signs of this are all over his first presidency and a matter of public record.
