Also Stanford isn't an ivy and has a reputation for being a little on the laid-back side among top schools.

Ok. Berkeley is an elite school with a reputation for being extremely competitive. It isn't really a very distinctive point of comparison.

or "premed" courses at my school. The push to differentiate between smart students is quite harsh for those who aren't gaming the system. 4

This varies a lot with respect to time, specific school, and major. Harvard has always been a little on the easy side but other ivies have 1

If that were the basis I'd still give some explanation like "your hair/eyes match mine" because it sounds weird without that. She also 1

I laughed. It's just absurd. She could easily have just said "you're attractive" but instead she basically opted for "sieg heil."

What? I have only provided numbers to point out that the provided rule of thumb is counter-productive misinformation.

Maybe you should learn to read instead of just scrolling for numbers.

That is for the example of a 100 kg person. 160 lbs is 72.6 kg, not 100 kg. The general rule provided is not at all valid.

Ok. "As a rule of thumbs, follow those lines to count your calories: -32 to 36 times your weight to gain mass." This uses metric, so 1

Just now I checked on this tool: https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/calories -- It says I need 2800/day to maintain weight.

I've tried eating 4000 Calories a day for periods and it was extremely unpleasant. That seems pretty high tbh if you are just ballparking.

Yeah but that is what the graphic recommends for gaining mass, not for staying healthy/average. I'm saying it's crazy low for bulking.

Sometimes that's true, but physiological or behavioral factors like fidgeting can definitely significantly affect energy consumption.

#3 As a young 160 lb guy who isn't even very active, I would definitely lose weight at 2300-2600 Calories per day. That is crazy low.

They are saying that 7 inches would look relatively/proportionally small compared to his body.

Interesting conclusions about different topics can be drawn from the same event. This guy lived in America for a while. China also 1

I interpreted the comment as being like "Saudi Arabia is fucked, China's also fucked, the world is so fucked" not a diversion from the topic

Is this somehow defending SA? The waters aren't muddy. Both governments are awful. It can be helpful to recognize shared patterns of evil.

How do you verify that the 6 year old people are traveling with is the same person based on a photograph of a baby?

(C) Why do you care if a few people downvote a pointless comment? Do you think it's making some kind of important statement? (2/2)

(A) It's irrelevant. The post says "babies in America," not Americans. (B) It's debatable semantics. They were people of the Americas. (1/2)

There are far more important indicators of "real status" at play than anybody's level of formal education. 4

Blaming the degree is an oversimplified version of the real story to avoid acknowledging her more fundamental temptations or misgivings. 3

a separate issue. It's not as simple as "high degree = no problems." There's always a chance she'll want someone else or get bored. 2
