I wouldn’t say it’s useless since it does show a trend of overall weight gain, but yes it can be misleading when the average person still equates BMI and health
I read the article, but I’m not seeing how the metric itself is racist? It’s not actually explained, just that it has racist origins (created using white ppl as the reference point) and the application of it as a standard of overall health can have racist applications, which I definitely agree with.
The thing is though, the graph above isn’t a graph of “health of American states over time”, it’s a graph of BMI over time. I think we’re mostly just arguing semantics at this point because the original person I replied to was equating normal BMI range = healthy which isn’t what’s shown here and is unrelated
BMI isn’t an indicator of health though, which is exactly what the study says. It’s simply a measurement of body mass, which doesn’t account for other factors
BMI is a good metric for populations as there are very few athletes at that elite level compared to obese people. At an individual level it can be misleading if you’re an athlete with a high muscle to body fat ratio

2·2 years agoYes! NEO TWEWY is the sequel and it was 14 years after the original release. The original on the DS is my favourite game of all time

14·3 years agoFrom what they’ve said the game can run fine, but the issue is getting local split screen on the S working because it has such a small amount of RAM available

Gaming@beehaw.org•Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it

This reads very much like a tech bro wrote it
The writer assumes the reader is a man also. They use he and they to refer to programmers, but never she. The only time she is used in this entire document is referring to a woman delivering your code:
The outcome you should be thinking of is a lady who’s going to get fired if she doesn’t deliver the output of your program at 4:59pm sharp.

5·3 years agoGo the JavaScript route. React is the most popular front end technology rn, and Node is also really common. You’ll have the best chance at either contributing to projects, or getting a job this way
