I’m training to be a personal trainer, and they recommend using better techniques like hydrostatic weighing or calipers. BMI is terrible for lots of athletes.

2024-04-14 22:43:12 +0000 UTCThe wii fit made my avatar chubby. I was a distance runner. I was dense, and the straight up BMI thing had me as "overweight." That's when I decided BMI was bullshit.

2024-04-12 00:22:23 +0000 UTCI don't know the numbers, but is it true that Thunderf00t rose to prominence because of gamergate? I think he was a big channel before, and gamergate was when I stopped watching him. I remember being a big fan of his content. He had a lot of interesting and informative videos debunking creationism as well as just plain science experiments and demonstrations. Then he started making weirdly angry videos complaining about feminism in video games and he just sort of lost me. I assumed he bled viewers like me, but did his channel actually grow after that?
