This isn't a "rogue" or "doxxing asshole". This guy is crashing our little nostr party and calling attention to (1) the privacy weakness present in the protocol, (2) taking arrows and risk for our benefit, (3) forcing us to experience what it is like to be doxxed, and (4) showing that if he can do it, any fuckface in an intelligence agency can do the same thing.

Better to be aware of your lack of privacy than to have a false sense of privacy.

The only person that calls me "obese" is me. Doctors and pharmacists correct me saying "nah, you're not obese. You're overweight." But according to the charts, a BMI of 31 is obese. So I use the technical term. I don't care much about inferences about what it means. The fact is that I'm carrying 25kg of adipose tissue weight beyond what would be healthy, a bunch of it on my belly. And I have metabolic syndrome so it is of significance. But yes your BMI comments I concur with.

I think my metabolic syndrome is related to my weight, but the causation isn't strictly weight-causes-syndrome. Losing weight doesn't really fix it. I still had hypertension and high cholesterol at 78kg (although now I think that the hypertension was caused by sleep apnea which I recently discovered I have, and the high cholesterol runs in my family).

It would be nice if someone figured out "you react poorly to foods X Y and Z and they are causing gut inflammation and liver inflammation. Avoid those foods" and then I could do that and all my problems would go away. I do have gut inflammation - IBS. But after a lifetime of searching for magic food choice solutions I never found any. I'll keep trying though.

But ok. Bread, pasta, lentils. Got it.

Shit I should just do an elimination diet again. The tricky thing is you can add something and think there is no reaction, but there was it just was too subtle to notice.

I used to make sourdough bread but it made me far too hungry and I'd overeat that wonderful fresh bread. I'd rather go without the bread entirely I think. I agree with you on bran. Everybody used to sieve out the bran until revernd Sylvester Graham (of Graham cracker fame) insisted it was healthy. But without the sourdough process, bran is horrible for you. I always sieved out the bran and soured the dough.

I think food quality and choice affects inflammatory processes. But it doesn't affect body weight. At least I can make my body weight go up by eating junk food, but I can't make it go down by tweaking my current diet. And my point about this is that even if I force it down through any mechanism, I will be annoyingly hungry, which is not a nice way to live. And so I have learned to accept being overweight, while continuing to focus on a healthy lifestyle to try to forstall cancers and heart disease.

I do waver on my commitment to the all-beef diet. I still go back to it because It's the only thing that makes sense to me, but it is too easy to backslide. This last fall, progress was stymied by peak beef. If you're up for an elimination diet, and you want to work in reverse (start with only eating one thing, then introduce other foods incrementally), an all ruminant diet isn't the worst option by any honest measure.

At this stage, I've settled on focusing on all-beef, but permitting some essentials like black-soil-grown carrots, cabbage, celery, and minimizing carb vegetables like tomatoes, barley, and onions.

Part of the problem with weight gain can also be mental. Yes, cause — effect are difficult to disentangle; Is it the diet that causes the sluggishness or is it the sluggishness that causes the diet? Most in the health&fitness industry would tell you it's the food and exercise that is the first cause, but they aren't you, and diet and exercise aren't what I literally get paid to do.

Something, however, I have discovered in the past month is that a standing desk and wireless headset makes a bigger difference for overall health than any exercise regimen for people like us. At least it gets me over the "steep curve" necessary to start to build endurance, not to mention the additional energy it takes to stand and pace all day. You might even find yourself doing the occasional squat or lunge, if only out of needing to move.

It is my belief that BMI is skewed toward the lean side to favor the pharma and diet industries, so a BMI of 31 if probably healthier than you give credit for, though the low 20s is a reasonable target for people of our age. Another thing to consider os your actual BMI may be inflated due to inflamitory water retention.

I suggest discarding lentils, whole wheat bread and pasta. Firstly, lentils are high in phytoestrogens which are not good for mental health and the endocrine, and they contain high levels of linoleic acid, which interferes with cellular metabolic anti-inflammatory processes.

White unbleached and unfortified sourdough bread is far superior to whole wheat foam bread, contrary to modern guidance. Remember, industrial bread is laced with soy flour to cut cost and seed oils to reduce mixture heating and to lower energy expenditure during mechanical kneading. Germ, bran and other components of wheat are not intended for human consumption and lead to chronic inflammation (regardless of gluten). I'm not convinced industrial dried yeast is good for the immune system, and varieties of yeasts should appear in a more naturally balanced proportion in your dough to lactobacilli and other airborne bacteria and fungi.

Dried fruit and banana should more of a rarity than you probably consider moderate, perhaps once a week or two rather than daily.

I have mixed feelings about whole potatoes. Intellectually, I believe they are bad due to their high levels of carbohydrates, but it's also possible they contain significantly long enough starch chains and cause less of an insulin spike than other carbs. They don't contain seed oils, but have a nontrivial level of lectins which lead to inflammation.

Lastly, regarding dairy; from my personal experience, and from some recent things I've heard on the subject, I prefer to avoid it altogether or at least only consume it as a minority constituent of a dish. It's been found to irritate the mucosa of the esophagus and intestinal lining, may contribute to leaky gut, contains large amounts of indigestible proteins and often clogs the gastrointestinal tract.

As a rule of thumb, anything that leads to increase in insulin or general inflammation is bad. It causes water retention that is bad for overall energy levels and diverts immune response from cancerous tissue and blocks the body repair mechanisms that normally would maintain the heart, lungs, liver, and brain.

I have a couple more points to make about obesity.

First, we know that if we eat less and exercise more we will lose weight. So it seems like you can blame people for making bad choices or not trying hard enough.

But we also know that we can consciously stop breathing. But few people have the willpower to hold their breath until they pass out. I used to spearfish, and every spear fisherman worth his salt has passed out underwater at least once (you don't drown, your throat latches shut, you splay out with an arched back, and your buddy pushes you to the surface where you wake up and ask "did I get the fish?"... and only idiots spearfish without a buddy). With practice, you can indeed hold your breath to the point of passing out, but it is difficult and takes practice.

Keeping the weight off is also difficult, and over a much longer term period of time (your entire life, no matter what else is going on) it is difficult to maintain weight via willpower. In fact studies show that it is pretty much impossible to do it longterm with willpower.

The other thing I'd like to direct your attention to is not a thing, but a person. Mandy Sellars (look her up). Mandy has huge legs and a very skinny torso. She is eating far too much food for her 17 stone legs, but far too little food for her emaciated body from the waist up. Given the exact same diet, it is making part of her very fat, but another part of her very skinny. What if your whole body was made of her greedy leg tissue? Would it be your fault that you were fat and yet still hungry all the time?

Finally, as I mentioned in some replies, even if you are going to fail, it is worth trying to lose weight. Small weight loss, repeated yoyoing, it is all better than nothing. We all lose in the end anyways.

Weight gain is due to addiction to foods that make you hungry and sick, and due to lifestyle habits such as not bagging your lunch or going to a gas station for coffee and always walking by the heated junkfood. It might help to read Lysiak's Fiat Food book, but ultimately weight loss only comes with change of lifestyle which is easy to say but very hard to understand the meaning of. There are ways of tricking yourself into a change of behavior, but willpower never cuts it.

The irony of MSNBC, the CIA's primary psyop vehicle, doing a hit+piece on bitcoin and declaring it defeated, is so satisfying.

Go ahead my trecherous technocrats, do it, declare bitcoin dead... again.

The #bitcoin ETF isn't validation of Bitcoin, it is an inevitable step on the path to freedom.

Bitcoin isn't being subsumed by wallstreet, its the sweet-tasting ant poison the financial parasites are beginning to drag back to the nests of their globalist oligarchs.

Also most people are deficient in copper. Drinking acidic beverages like milk, from copper, will transfer into the beverage.

People seem to be afraid Blackrock or some combination of ETFs will corrupt or contaminate bitcoin. I have no worry about this; They are fiat companies made of wood and paper. Either they adapt, or they disintegrate.

Nothing is harder than bitcoin, and unlike diamonds, #bitcoin is not brittle.

Yes. Dairy (cheese) is more subtle than bread, but all inflamation is the enemy.

As of late there seems to be a net-split in the lightning network. A and B can transact, C and D can transact, but A and B can't transact with C and D.

Even raw dairy. Not sure about raw milk, but you can't get that down my gullet.

It causes inflamation of the intestinal mucosa

Sugar, seed oils, dairy, bread, xenoestrogens, sodium laurel sulfate, endicrine disruptors, LED and fluorescent light bulbs, facemasks, niccotine, alcohol and lack of sunlight are all making you miserable, giving you heart disease and every cancer you never heard of.

Clean out your cabinets. Read the fucking labels.
