  • Your fussy ass literally opened the conversation assuming shit about me. It was your first sentence. Get off your pissy horse.

    You’re consistently arguing against this thing that hurt you, not my statements. You can’t do heat. Sorry I assumed you never did, but that doesn’t change your motivations.

    I never said that everyone can hit a certain heat level. I never said that menopause doesn’t effect heat tolerance. I never said everyone should try to hit 40c. I never said anything about gender or genitals or reproductive organs or whatever else you want to talk about.

    I made a simple, true statement.

    I said heat tolerance is like exercise.

    You can’t get out and do it like you used to. You have my condolences. That doesn’t refute what I’m saying. That doesn’t even go against what I’m saying in any way.

    You can’t exercise like you used to either, even in AC. That doesn’t mean you should stop exercising.

    But if you stay inside for 10 years, you’ll be able to tolerate heat even less than today. If you don’t exercise for 10 years, you will be able to do less than today too.

    That’s just facts, and it has nothing to do with what you’re on about. You’re just mad because you can’t do 41c anymore and so you’re pretending like I’m telling everyone to go out and do 41c.

    Get on hormones, or live with your new maximum. No one, regardless of anything, is going to “build up more tolerance” if they’re already outside all the time, and I never said they would.




  • Group genetics certainly play a factor. Looking at other places group genetics play a major role though, it doesn’t seem to be more limiting than fractions of a percentage point at the top of the best performers. Personal genetics plays a bigger factor.

    Epigenetics certainly plays a much bigger factor. The most important pieces of information being what your parents were exposed to and what you were exposed to at a young age. Both fundamentally change the way your genetics are expressed.

    You might just be an outlier too. This can happen no matter where or who you are.

    It’s going to be very hard to acclimate yourself to heat if you can’t feel or sense when you are reaching your limit. Do you have trouble sensing when you are thirsty or hungry?

    Like, will you think “I’m a little thirsty” but then when you get the water to your lips your body takes over and you ravenously gulp down the whole thing? Do you get tired or angry because you are hungry, without feeling hunger pains?

    Do you sweat excessively or too little compared to others?













  • I’m cynical as hell. I have never had any “faith” in the consumer to be able to regulate things with their wallet, but even I was shocked by DD’s success.

    I remember finding out how shit the whole system was for the “employee” and thinking “that sucks. If it’s a good deal, this will take off and become the new type of low work”. Then, I was so relieved when I saw that everything was 2x the price and always arrived cold, on the floor outside.

    I watched in horror as everyone started buying it every chance they could! At every income level!

    Watching people use DD has done more harm to my view of people than I could ever have imagined possible. I thought it was already so low, and then, a new floor in a lower hell opened up before me like some kind of toothy, butthole-lotus with tentacles.


  • Was that before or after we had the technology to map the human connectome and even the barest understanding of what all those connections could possibly amount to in a neural network?

    Keep the responses coming though, it’s like watching the kid who eats crayons gloat about their special brain that gets them in special classes, calling people dumb because they “talk stupid”.

    Edit: I’m sorry, I’m still dying over here at you trying to point out a postmortem brain examination from the decade before we decided to stop giving lobotomies and electroshock to cure mental problems, to bolster your opinion. So since you like images, I found you an image that shows scientists looking at Einstein’s brain nearly a century ago and concluding “it look like brain”
