@Schwarzenegger I lost 90 lbs. over 18 months using that exact approach. It's not flashy, but it works. Show up for yourself every day, do what you can, track what you do. It works! The hardest part is changing how you see yourself and being kind to yourself on the journey. It can be done!

They all want to make it complicated. It’s not. Change your eating habits to prioritize protein and vegetables and real food. Add resistance training. Move more outside of the gym. Those three things done consistently will lead to staggering results for most people.

@Schwarzenegger So true! Too many posts are “15 things you need to do to lose 30 lbs” that just scare people off starting the journey. It’s great to see people who are invested in others’ transformations 🙌

@oncloud_e My daughter had a similar journey, and she's come to a lot of the same realizations that you have. Thanks for sharing. It's important and validating to understand other lived experiences, when so much of the online discourse is flooded by a small number of loud jerks.

i don't think ideally you should have to feel like you're not feminine enough to come out, but it's a reasonable reaction to the anti trans rhetoric we are told constantly and using a stepping stone is a fine strategy to get yourself there 💗

when i was first coming out i had my friends use they/them pronouns on me cause i was scared to claim femininity looking the way i did and i wanted to soft launch changing myself, to see how people would react etc. i think that's fine and made a lot of sense for me

Folks. Can I explain something about world models? Seems like today might be a good day for that. Advances in large-scale “world models” — whether developed by partners like Google or others — materially expand the frontier of interactive content creation. These models can generate high-quality, interactive, video-like experiences from natural language or minimal input. Today, they are primarily editable through prompting, which limits the level of determinism and precision required for production-grade game mechanics. As a result, their outputs remain probabilistic and non-deterministic, making them unsuitable on their own for games that require consistent, repeatable player experiences. Rather than viewing this as a risk, we see it as a powerful accelerator. Video-based generation is exactly the type of input our Agentic AI workflows are designed to leverage—translating rich visual output into initial game scenes that can then be refined with the deterministic systems Unity developers use today. Our agents already generate high-quality scenes from static video. Interactive, camera-controllable video from world models would further enhance this pipeline and materially improve the fidelity and speed of early-stage content creation. We believe this represents a meaningful step forward for AI-driven development across the industry. Unity’s role is to operationalize these advances. Outputs from world models are ingested into Unity’s real-time engine, where they are converted into structured, deterministic, and fully controllable simulations. Within Unity, creators define physics, gameplay logic, networking, monetization, and live-operations systems to ensure consistent behavior across devices and sessions. This combination enables developers to move faster from concept to scalable product: AI accelerates environment and asset generation, while Unity provides the execution layer that transforms generated content into reliable, monetizable experiences. As a result, world models expand content supply and reduce development friction, while Unity remains the system of record for runtime, distribution, and long-term operations. This dynamic broadens Unity’s addressable market and reinforces its central role in the interactive ecosystem.

@careroin I'm sorry. That sounds like it's both heartbreaking and frustrating to go through. I hope he ends up listening to you.

@MichaelDavis_6 In fact, it's why my own initiatory practices went on hold for so long. What good is trying to prove "attainment" of something, if I don't want to be in my own head to begin with?

@MichaelDavis_6 It's both some of the most useful and some of the most difficult advice to put into practice!

Advice I just gave to someone is advice I should take myself: turn inward and make your mind the place you want to be.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

Cure cancer and geoengineer this planet first. Those are two of the pre-reqs to any extraterrestrial colonization effort. If we can't solve problems like that here (easy mode), we won't be able to solve those issues on the moon, Mars, or anywhere else.

This is so completely asinine. Talking about an event over a billion years in the future as though it's an imminent threat. That's 5000x longer than humans (homo sapiens) have existed. Leave it to a billionaire to not know the actual size of a billion anything.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

Joseph Goebbels was a literal Nazi and one of Hitler's closest allies. To my Republican colleagues, it is probably best not to quote him during a congressional hearing.
