I don’t think that’s true about female only gyms. There are many successful ones around me. Clientele skews Muslim but really not that much
It’s not wrong until they start getting uncomfortable. The point of uncomfortableness depends on a lot of variables such as local/gym culture, your attractiveness, what you mean by looking etc. Assessing this somewhat accurately is a skill we call “not being autistic”.
Women work out their hips as it’s the only muscle group they can keep growing and contributes to their attractiveness. Women moving their hips in tight clothing looks erotic.
Doing keto was the only time in my life when I purposefully lost weight. But it is really difficult to sustain for me without having a lot of free time to meal-prep etc. Do you mean you weren't losing weight on it without also doing keto?
"Out of the Gobi". I never realized how much of an insanity the Chinese Cultural Revolution was. Reading the accounts of a teenager caught in the middle of it is definitely very interesting.
I finally did it. Arranged Ozempic with an online clinic after failing to make any starts with losing around 10-15kg I wanted to lose for years. Any tips and tricks from mottizens?
Naipaul's "Among the Believers" is definitely a masterpiece of that genre. Also, definitely read the Congo forum posts series OP has linked. It is incredible, one of the most hilarious and captivating travel stories I have ever read. Took me many days to finish though.
In general I think international travel after smartphones+internet is an experience almost unrecognizably different than before. Even if you opt to somehow not use the support of these tools, entire human infrastructure and culture is structured around them in even the most backwards places imaginable so there is really no escape.
P.S. If you want something entirely different, but stil fascinating, check out "Africa Addio".
I use claude code on a pretty big and complicated code base. The main use so far has been to make it possible the sort of things I would normally not have time to work on (i.e. CLI tool to make and certain packets with certain UDP multicast configurations. Wouldn't be worth the 1-2h I would have to put on this normally, but I can just tell claude and it is ready in a couple minutes), and "explain me this class/function/logic", "review code I wrote for possible mistakes", "find me examples of this pattern in this repo" etc. These sort of tasks, it has been really excelling at.
What sort of work do you do that lets you create small apps like this in a couple hours with only human attention being the limiting factor?
How do mortgages even work with 26% interest? I haven't been adult through anything but very low rates so not able to comprehend. Are the loans just very low duration? Do you see 25% wage growth as well?
Where I live, the mortgage interest payments are income tax deductible so I am basically on purpose not paying off the mortgage just to "benefit" from the sweet front-loaded interest payments. Talk about perverse incentives.

What you are describing is just destroying the commons, and not that different than what the women hanging out in the gym semi naked and filming themselves are achieving. “Commons” here being the culture of both sexes doing sports together without the involved women being viewed as whores. The end game of your strategy is rural India or Middle East, where men are infinitely horny and treat any mixed space as a sexual harassment contest, so mixed spaces either disappear or are put behind strict class barriers and women are constantly on guard against any men around them in public. It sucks. Don’t do this.
