Testosterone administration is more illegal pharmaceutical use then it is a fad diet. It's also not particularly dangerous. The safety profile is similar to hormonal birth control.

It's more like poor China with their average $5000 per year income.
They also have a 0% homeowner rate. All property is owned by the state. As for the houses they do "own", the typical city apartment or rural homestead is...deficient by Western standards.
I wouldn't want to shut down the simulation, but it would depend on the energy expenditure. A hospital could theoretically save more people if they allocated fifty million dollars per patient. A person's right to life is contingent on the cost to maintain it.

...I don't think I've ever met a man in real life that ate a fad diet. They eat hamburger helper and take out.
It could be better, but even the person with crippling medical debt lives luxuriously relative to the global norm. I think it could be better, but I think it's important to understand exactly how much we have.
Where we got our excess resources is also relevant. I think it's important to understand the exact role that weapons manufacturers and corporate chronies play in bolstering our lifestyles. At the end of the day, I don't think the average citizen wants to know.
...I think men would be more interested in having a child without a woman that can seize both the child and your paycheck on a whim. A sperm donor is a lot cheaper than a surrogate.
If we had sustainable practices, at least of 3rd of the people in the United States and Western Europe would have a standard of living similar to the people in 3rd world country. This is assuming we don't compensate for things by exploiting more vulnerable populations.
I personally think this is a decent trade-off, but the people my country would end up exploiting would probably disagree.
I feel as though the low standard of living of the average Chinese national is a more decisive factor. The resources that could be spent on public welfare programs are spent on research and subsidies instead.
I had the same opinion, but it changed after playing Doom (2016, Xbox One) and Doom Eternal (2020, Xbox Series X) back to back. The difference was dramatic.
I still believe we are reaching a point where Moore's law is hitting a fundamental limit, but only time will tell how things will pan out. My guess is that consoles will need to get bigger to get better.
I'm having a hard time believing that you live in either China or the United States. You definitely don't live in the United States because you aren't familiar with our low income housing; if you do live in China, you're job is to write these comments.
If there is one thing I learned about Lemmy, it's that there are quite a few bot handlers that don't want it to gain momentum. We are going to need some form of identity verification if this community wants to get off the ground.
