Spicy is apt. I would view this as a reddit-tier view aligned with the Tear-it-all-Down, Black-is-White teenegae angsty ethos of many users there.
Keller got into and graduated Radcliffe. There is good evidence that Sullivan misrepresented certain aspects of Keller's achievements at different junctures, but to dismiss them both as fabulists is, at least based on what the historical record suggests, unwarranted.
Edit: I am not saying your take is reddit tier as I took your post as a hypothetical answer.

Out of curiosity, what about the post you're responding to has prompted your response here? Do you doubt its veracity? Or is it that this is new information to you and you feel it has been previously hidden from you, and thus a narrative of some sort has been thrust upon you regarding something about Till's history without your having the facts?

I can recall making a comment about a megapint of wine over DM with a friend back in the US. I had watched a few bestof clips of the Depp/Heard trial and found that segment funny (Depp is asked about alcohol and is questioned something like "You poured yourself a megapint of wine?" Depp actually seems amused at the term and just asks back: "Megapint?" It's really the kind of interaction made for the internet age. For a while you could find online for sale the Mason jars fixed to winestem glasses of the type seen in the Heard-secretly-filmed videos. They were of course sold as "Megapints." )
My friend had no idea what I was talking about.

Well I did not move to Japan for the women, but I may be an outlier. I would concede that there is probably a big-boob fetish among many Japanese dudes.

Most guys want tits and ass, big as can be
This may be true of guys, especially young guys, in 2026, but never was for me. I really never have liked what dudes used to call "thick"/thicc. But then I've seen girls in the blossom of youth (the wonder years between say 17 and 25) who would have been called voluptuous, then slowly morph as the years pass into (there's no other word here) fat women.
Thin ftw. Just a preference.

Maybe. As I understand it he was a College Research Associate with Emmanuel. Stilk he was technically not employed by them, but employed by Cambridge as a university researcher. So while Emmanuel canned his affiliation they didn't have authority to fire him from his Cambridge position.

Fixed I think. Thanks.

Cambridge didn't fire him. Emmanuel College released him from whatever he had going on there but his Cambridge tenure played out until its 2025 natural end.
Unless you have some dirt I don't.
A diary in this regard logging calories is helpful. People tend to be bad at estimating caloric intake. There are several apps that can do this, in particular if you're eating what everyone else is eating (MyFitnessPal actually has barcode scanning for many foods). You may already be doing this.
I did a food log about ten years ago going in the opposite direction (i.e. I was trying to gain.) Set a goal weight, the app tells you based on a few metrics what calories you'll need to get there by however quickly you enter. You also enter exercise. I ended up sending my triglycerides through the roof due to my food choices and metabolism, but I reached my goal. I have made adjustments since.

What does this mean, specifically? Insulin? It's a peptide. Are there a group of peptides you're thinking of in particular? I'm admittedly out of this loop but I know among a certain number here the use of these drugs is popular.
But a myth is different from a lie, or a vacuum. You wouldn't, presumably, argue that nothing at all happened yesterday. My point is that it may not be particularly helpful (or, indeed, possible) to wave away anything not immediately historically verifiable (by whatever means would be satisfying, and I use this term 'historically verifiable' to substitute for your word true. Not that I have an issue with the word true but because its meaning is fluid unless we mean factual and not subject to interpretation. In other words fact vs narrative--and nor am I saying narrative is a dirty word ). Nor is it constructive to dismiss myth as irrelevant (or outright harmful) to the living of life.
I sympathize with your general point regarding the bona fides of a lot of what many of us were taught as facts in school.
