Opinions are never wrong. They are just popular or unpopular :)

Huh? Money is worth a lot less than it did in the 70s by any real metric. And wages are way higher too.

Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here's hoping though!

I'm not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn't notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though...

As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the treatment

It's pure speculation what deals are or aren't being offered Mangione. I'd be surprised if he isn't offered one at some point.

Eh I guess, did anyone even land a real punch? Looked like a bunch of shoving and shouting to me.

If I'm in an elevator alone with a woman or something I will usually just give a friendly nod and adopt a very relaxed posture, like leaning against the wall. The youtuber Contrapoints talked about this exact scenario in one of her videos (a black man whistling in the elevator so she wouldn't feel scared) and it made me more aware of it.

I was pretty suspicious as well, but I was able to trace it back to this story from Military Times which is a pretty respected outlet. Of course, the vet could just be lying, but also WW2 was an insane time and stuff like this really did happen. I have also read about how slave laborers in Nazi Germany would do other things to sabotage, like cutting wires in the planes they were building.

It must be said that those imperialist eastern nations all have absolutely fire flags

Go for it dude. I've been working out ny whole life and have never paid for a gym membership (I used the gym at college, then at my various apartments, and then when I got a house I set up a home gym). You can get an awesome workout in with nothing more than some free weights, a bench and a little creativity. You mention being a "total novice," but I feel like most people that go to a gym are working out on their own anyways so unless you're thinking of getting a personal trainer there's really not much difference. If you have any questions about form just take a look on YouTube.

The other factor is, what will motivate you to exercise more? For me, it's the convenience of knowing i can just walk into a room in my house and work out. Whereas I know some people that are more motivated by group exercise classes. So you'll have to figure that out yourself.
