Thanks for sharing. The fact that science is still delving into this and discovering new information is fascinating in itself. I remember reading a stat, pointing out that capitalism puts more money into researching male pattern baldness than into life-threatening diseases like malaria.

Down to the nitty-gritty, you’re essentially making the point that gut health is a major factor, with the microbiome playing a significant role in immune and inflammatory responses.

I don’t disagree with this at all, you’ve clearly presented the evidence that supports it. However, genetics are still foundational when it comes to baldness, and there are mountains of evidence to support this. The microbiome might act as the environmental trigger that dictates how and when those genes are expressed, but the underlying genetic predisposition, especially for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), still has to exist in the first place.

Think of it like getting visible abs. You can do all the core exercises and drop your body fat, but your genetics ultimately dictate how your body stores fat and the actual shape of your abdominal muscles. If your genetics don’t favour it, it takes a significantly harder environmental effort (strict diet and training) to overcome that hurdle and get them to display.

Basically, genetics provide the foundational blueprint, and gut health acts as the environmental factor. It’s definitely more nuanced than just saying “baldness is genetic”, but it’s fundamentally not wrong to state that it’s genetic.

Yeah, but that’s my point, why is the publication linking it to GLPs? Saying, more research is needed while leading with a misleading headline is just shite.

The media are crabs in a barrel.

Given that hair loss is genetic, I’m guessing that this research would be quickly picked apart on proper scientific review. I’m not saying that drugs can’t accelerate hair loss, but I am saying there’s likely to be other factors involved, which are being ignored because weight management is bad.

It’s inevitably a combination of increasingly sedentary lifestyles coupled with a lower quality of food, which is sad. I would be interested to see if this affects those in the cities more than those in the villages.

Messi really is the GOAT!

This is framing this as an EV problem when in reality it’s just a case of shitty infrastructure in rural areas, like the rest of the world.

No worries, we all have bad days now and then. If anything, it was a learning experience for me. We’re a community, so if we can all rise together, we should at least try!

The flagger never responded so things were kinda stuck in limbo. But the mod found the thread and spoke up, so it’s all been done now.

Done. Sorry this has all taken so long, I was waiting on the consent of @soyaEnjoyer@hexbear.net to contact you directly.

Lenovo love a great idea, with a fantastic price point but a terribly disappointing execution. I get it, profit over everything, but I wish they’d stop under powering their tablets.

There’s nothing on that page mentioned about bloodmouthery. Would it be okay if I contact the moderator for guidance on this? You’ve done nothing wrong, I’m just trying to understand better so I can be a better community member.

What’s bloodmouthery?

South Asia representing in the worst way. I can’t wait for electrification to take hold in that region, it will change the planet.

I was having a conversation about the biases with these things and watches and established that they won’t fix them, because what they have works for enough people. There’s just no incentive.

I really hope someone trustworthy like Mozilla or the EFF fork it.

Oh my days. Please don’t let them fuck it up.
