@sun manosphere people used to have some good stats on this. The stats generally are interesting. E.g. the divorce rates have been declining but so have the marriage rates (likely meaning that only people who are more confident in their ability to maintain a marriage are getting married).
various factors like number of sexual partners and intelligence/education can be used to predict divorce likelihood
>Many like to bring up the statistic that 50% of divorces end in divorce as evidence that humans (and in particular women as they initiate them in modern countries) are not meant to practice monogamy, however amongst first marriages only 35% of marriages end in divorce.[25][26][27] >The reason why the divorce rate taken as a whole comes out at 50% is because a minority of r-strategists whom continuously divorce and remarry which means that the rate increases as a result. https://incels.wiki/w/Marriage#Divorce

@sun I think it could be especially fun for fleshing out backstories. Especially as context windows expand.
e.g. you could put a general history of the world in the context window, as well as the history of the specific area for the character, and the backstories of existing characters. Thus the NPC could have traits customized to the location and surrounding NPCs.
It could be done in an iterative approach such that basic attributes are made first (e.g. occupation: butcher) and then relationships could be made (rivalries (between 2 butchers), co-operation (butcher and farmer), etc).
You could even create quests based on these relationships (e.g. help butcher 1 or help butcher 2)
@sickburnbro@LouisConde@MechaSilvio I'm not actively avoiding niacin or vitamin A (the latter would require avoiding dairy...), but I'm also not trying to consume more of them.
His anti-niacin position isn't nearly as strong as the anti-vitamin A position, but if I was gluten intolerant I would consider trying to reduce my niacin intake and see if that makes a difference.
An issue in his thinking (and the thinking of many alt-health people) is that he thinks that "if it works for me then it works for everyone", but people have different genetics - he could have some gene which causes him to have a negative reaction to niacin or vitamin A.
E.g. imagine if an asian said that people should avoid alcohol because he has a bad reaction to it (asians commonly have the genetic condition called the alcohol flush reaction)
tldr: >canadian man starts eating bread after not having eaten it for a while >after a few months starts getting dandruff and dry skin >guesses it's because canadian/american flour is "fortified" with niacin >switches to imported german bread (no niacin) >symptoms improve >concludes that niacin is unnecessary (or at least over-consumed) also >there are some interesting links to people complaining about being gluten intolerant in the US but being able to eat gluten in europe (where they don't add niacin to wheat flour) and >there are some different types of niacin and some may be better than others
@LouisConde@MechaSilvio I found out about the guy from /fit/. He's known for claiming that vitamin A isn't a vitamin.
He has some evidence to back it up. He also hasn't consumed vitamin A for almost a decade (he's been at so called "death imminent" levels of low vitamin A for years). His backstory is that he had very bad eczema and nothing worked, then he tried cutting vitamin A out of his diet and it cured him.
I don't agree with everything he has to say, but he is interesting. So many alt-health people promote the idea that you aren't getting enough of this vitamin or micro-nutrient (so they can shill their product). Few take the opposite stance that you are getting too much.
