My family and I have had Covid multiple times.

We are healthier and more robust than someone who has had multiple vaccinations.

If this triggers you, it’s because you have no understanding of the human immunological response.

Looking back I wasted so much time being loyal to the wrong people.

Massive miscalculation.

Probably a self worth issue on my end.

I extended loyalty to those who didn’t deserve it and of course it blew back on me.

It was my fault, not theirs.

They never deserved it in the first place.

This is what stoicism is all about.

Looking back and realizing that you were actually the cause of all your suffering.

Not others.

I hate muting people. It feels wrong. But if I can't maintain my positive perspective, if people just aren't hearing me and are making specious arguments, I think I have to do it. Either that or I find a job in town and do something else with my life that doesn't make me feel so shitty about everything.

Sweet!

The last few days I've not had any good feelings about nostr, and I've considered what else I could do with my life. Seriously. Today I just muted the main problem. Hopefully my mojo comes back.

If you want privacy, use tor. If you don't use tor and you wanted privacy, then you are an idiot. If you insist that people need to worry about relays seeing your IP address, you are lost in the frickin' weeds and I can't help you and I can't pander to your delusions any longer. If you don't have an IP address, you can't be on the Internet. It is a layer we cannot be bothered with. I spent time building things for this half-ass privacy perspective that I don't even believe in (user controls of which relays to connect to) and I'm sick of pandering to it. It's a dumb perspective. So are VPNs (you can't possibly trust a VPN provider, it is an architecture with an impossible trust model). I've got more important things to do than argue this shit, much less build for this half-ass privacy mindset. Use tor ffs. Or use a half-ass VPN solution. Or just accept that nothing you do on nostr is really very private, like I do. Or go build a client relay.

Without this Real ID you will not be able to travel across the USA via plane ! Total control !

Who has opinions?

The strength of women lies in the metaphysical realm - the power to inspire love, and beauty. And as Leonard Cohen wrote, love is the only engine of survival. The appreciation and creation of beauty is truly what elevates us from the animal. But for this strength to manifest, it needs to stand on a foundation, one that men are best suited to provide. Resources, shelter, defense, the organization of society using logic, truth, objectivity. This is where the obsession of “women leaders” on every level has not been a good idea. It is clear that the vast majority of women will always choose safety before freedom. And feelings over truth (see Australia). It is also clear they will turn into the worse of dictators if it is presented to them that’s it’s “for our safety”. And empathy, when not kept in check can become a greater destructive force to a nation than atomic bombs. Yeah, yin-yang.

Mira lo mágico de esto, ahí hay una chica, pero si cierras un poco los ojos te verás a ti ☺️🫣

That probably can and does happen. However, that doesn't seem to reflect the conversation I followed from yesterday. All I saw was men acting like men that I wouldn't ever want around any of the women in my life.

I was raised differently. In my house, my father taught me to defend and respect women. I try to have debates without being mean. I just didn't see any of that yesterday.

One more day left to my weight loss goal! I was hoping to lose 20lbs in 8 days but I couldn't crack 13. I broke my strict carnivore diet and had some vegetables. I checked their carb contents to make sure it's low. So I guess you can see i'm on the ketogenic diet instead. My goal is to continue eating mostly meat without sugars or other carbs. Eating salads is a bit tough because all the dressings come loaded with sugar.

I think part of the difficulty of maintaining strict carnivore for me is the constant other food around me. Traditional Japanese food that my wife makes for my kids usually contains sauces and therefore sugar. Rice is a staple of Japanese diet you cannot go a single day without seeing rice somewhere. Add to that the fact that my kids love rice, there's just no way around seeing all of the food I don't want to eat. It also sucks because I have to make my kids' breakfast and it's usually full of carbs but smells so damn good.

I have yet to add any type of exercise to my routine so that will be my next goal. So far I'm feeling great! I don't feel bloated anymore and feel a lot more clarity in mind and body. Already I'm feeling more alive and agile than before. My goal is to continue until I get into great shape and then assess how I want to do this long term.

Some things I noticed eating mostly meat:

1. I'm way more thirsty now, constantly needing to drink. I think I lack electrolytes.

2. I don't get as hungry as often. On carbs I would always have strong cravings to eat. I would also eat when I wasn't really hungry but it felt like that's what I needed. Now, I don't have those ups and downs of wanting to eat just because it's time to eat.

3. One meal a day was too much for me. It worked a bit, but then I realized I had energy dips that were easily fixed if I just had some more food.

I haven't done any other tests or anything. Not sure if that would be helpful since I've never really had any issues. My blood work has always been great.

Some things that do concern me about long term carnivore or keto is heart disease and gout. I was always under the impression that your arteries build up more plaque when you eat a lot of red meat. This has been ingrained into my mind since I could understand how the body works. Carnivores seem to say it's all bullshit. I don't know who to trust so I have to do my own research. If you know of any studies, please send them my way.

Same concern for gout. I have only been around 1 carnivore who seemed to have frequent gout attacks. I don't know if that's related to his diet but it would seem so. Then again, I don't know what else he ate... I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, any studies you may know about, anything to debunk that. Of course, I will do my own research because you know... don't trust, verify.

Say happy birthday to this lady! She's 97 years old today 🔥🔥🔥

Having a good relationship is simple.

Both people need to be fully committed to the relationship’s success.

If both people have that mindset, the relationship will be strong.

If no one in the relationship has that mindset the relationship is doomed.

I've seen it several months ago, even Normie's were mentioning how creepy it is that they won't touch it. But let's see, convenience and little rewards point can come a long way.

these things are not good tasting.

it's unusual to get raw milk out here,

but we can buy it in california. and its delicious.
