Hiii I’m Kaleigh. I’m a creative who’s been living in Costa Rica for the last several years. You can catch me chasing waves, in the kitchen cheffing up, or creating whatever sparks my imagination. 🌊 #introductions

When you hide what you really believe in order to manage the reaction of others, you are submitting to emotional manipulation.

I don't know how to say it any dumber than that.

When you allow the cowardice of those around you to dictate the way you express what you believe, you are enslaving yourself to their erroneous perceptions in an effort to manage their emotions for them. Don't do it.

Would you rather date an illegal immigrant or a liberal?

I wont be able to eat the ribeyes I pulled out of the freezer, but at least the dog had a nice meal.

Discuss…pushback, feedback?

Going to be seeing a lot more of this re bitcoin payments scaling

I ordered a Heatbit two years ago for my parents and it’s finally here. Will unbox it this morning and share.

Ever wonder why protestant religions are practically all Zionist? Christian radio and colleges have been dominated by Jews unashamedly. They preach Judeo-Christianity, not the New Testament. They dominate the airwaves, seizing a position of benevolence toward christians rather than humility toward Christ. In short, Christian focused religious education and media have been hijacked and nobody noticed.

There are very few Christians in America, despite popular opinion. Are the Jews to blame? I say no, I blame Christians for being weak sheep, leaving a vacuum for opportunists. If it weren't the Jews, it would be another religion. The Jews have the highest incentive to influence Christianity, out of perceived self-preservation. We are called to be as harmless as sheep, but wise as serpents; not the opposite.

Baby, pass me the toilet paper 😳

Good Morning 🧡

There's more to it than that man.

Big blood glucose swings will fuck you up.

What's your point?

I used to think alcohol was alcohol.

Beer...Wine. They both got me drunk.

Then I started paying attention.

To how beer left me foggy.

And how wine didn’t.

Here’s what I found 🍺🍷🧵

Wine and Beer Start From Different Foundations

Wine is made from fermented grapes.

Beer is made from fermented grains.

That difference really matters.

Grapes naturally contain compounds that survive fermentation and end up in your glass. These include polyphenols, which have been studied for their ability to reduce inflammation, support blood vessels, and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Beer starts with starch. After fermentation, most commercial beer is filtered, pasteurized, and standardized. That strips out nearly all of the byproducts that might offer anything beyond alcohol and empty calories.

Both wine and beer can include additives that aren't listed on the label. But with wines, more of the beneficial compounds tend to stay in. It is also easier to find low-intervention wines with few additives, and there is a stronger culture of traceability in wine. People care who grew the grapes, how they were grown, and where.

You can find good beer and bad wine.

But at the baseline, wine has more going for it.

Blood Sugar and the Crash

Most people chalk up how they feel after drinking to “just a hangover.”

But part of that foggy, sluggish feeling is driven by blood sugar swings.

Wine, especially dry red wine, has virtually no residual sugar. During fermentation, yeast consumes the natural grape sugars. A standard glass of dry red often contains less than 1 gram of sugar.

Beer, on the other hand, contains maltose and residual starch, both of which break down quickly into glucose. This gives it a higher glycemic load, especially when consumed without food or in large quantities. Blood sugar spikes, insulin rises, and then comes the crash.

Alcohol itself makes this worse.

It inhibits gluconeogenesis, which is your liver’s ability to produce glucose when blood sugar runs low. That makes it harder for your body to recover once blood sugar drops.

This is why beer often leaves you drained and cloudy, even after just a couple.

Wine avoids about as much of that as possible. Less sugar spike. Less crash.

Antioxidants and Inflammation

Red wine contains polyphenols like resveratrol, quercetin, and anthocyanins.

These compounds have been studied for their role in reducing inflammation and protecting blood vessels.

Beer contains some antioxidants from hops and barley, but at much lower levels.

The process of filtration and pasteurization removes most of what might help.

If you’re going to drink, wine actually gives your body something to work with.

Hormonal Effects

Beer contains hops, and hops contain a compound called 8-prenylnaringenin.

It’s a powerful phytoestrogen, meaning it acts like estrogen in the body.

In high enough quantities, it can start shifting hormone levels.

Chronic beer consumption has been linked to lower testosterone, reduced libido, and, in some cases, increased body fat in areas like the manboob.

Wine doesn’t contain estrogenic compounds like this.

Some of the polyphenols in red wine may even slow down how fast your body breaks down testosterone. One lab study found a reduction in testosterone clearance by up to 70 percent.

Beer increases estrogen.

Wine slows testosterone loss.

Transparency and Sourcing

Neither beer nor wine is required to list all ingredients or additives on the label.

That means you're often drinking blind unless you know the producer.

With wine, it's usually easier to trace the origin.

There’s a stronger culture around knowing who grew the grapes and how the wine was made.

Beer doesn’t have that same emphasis on sourcing.

It’s possible, but less common.

If you want to drink better, ask questions and buy from people who can answer them.

Not all alcohol is created equal.

Beer gives you sugar spikes, estrogenic compounds, and fewer nutrients.

Wine gives you antioxidants, lower sugar, and for guys, a possible hormonal edge.

I’m not saying wine is a health drink.

But switching from beer to wine might actually make you feel better.

I’ve noticed it myself. I rarely drink beer anymore.

Curious if anyone else has had the same experience.

Speaking of bioelectric, TIL that the inner mitochondrial membrane has a 30 million volt charge which is similar to a bolt of lightning. It is 6 microns thick. That is feasible because when you shrink the scale, the electromagnetic force gets stronger. That charge is insulated by deuterium-depleted water which we make in the mitochondria from a cytochrome protein.

The USGov can manipulate SpaceTime, but you still believe that you can "vote your way out of this"?

WTF is right. Was MH370 the first instance of this tech being used in the wild?

GM the gym is 75% cheaper and 10x as effective as therapy

TIL even before covid mRNA, everyone already had (carcinogenic) SV40 in their system because early polio vaccines contained it, which then spread to everyone, even if they never took a polio vaccine.

To explain a phenomenon by its symptoms will lead to a poor understanding and poor result of study.

Gravity, for example, is a symptom, not a law by itself.

Have you zapped anyone today?

My bot has been coding cryptography nonstop for 10 minutes 😬

Something serious is happening.

Interesting. What's an example of this from the book?

I'll say it again. Proof-of-work is a field of study and almost nobody is studying it. Read #softwar

Can't afford the rent and the food is the problem. We've lost a lot in the last four months and I would rather re-home them than have nowhere to go.

Take your shame elsewhere. I'm doing the best I can with the circumstances I've been dealt and sometimes that means making choices we otherwise wouldn't. It's not like I want to get rid of them.
