I've been weaning myself that way for about two weeks. I agree with Sperry in that I have slightly more energy and would expect more if I stuck to it better. My face is way less puffy.. Lost 2.5 kgs prefer smaller portion sizes and still feel full. I've become a label reader and fine with just not buying anything with too many ingredients.

Some of my former favourite foods (bread, snacks) don't even look like food to me any more.

Unfortunately, I've been constantly blocked up so my tummy is constantly upset. I will get to doing it properly soon. My general muscle condition is not better but it's only been two weeks of me gradually moving over.

My natropath friend thinks I'm probably not getting enough nutrients 🙄

Without borders you step into the realm of intercommunal ethics too. I think John Rawls had some great stuff in this area.

Actually I may have picked the wrong guy. I was running out the door when I wrote that. Can't remember who I was thinking off.

Your ex mistakenly sent $80,000 to your account and calls you to send it back using only 3 words, what is your response?

#AskNostr

Sure. Account details?

Replying to

Agreed. But... and I need to be blunt about this, most people are too damn scared to step out of their comfort zone to accept any other "truth". This is why I can't bring myself to follow any particular religion. In other words, "normies" WANT to be controlled. They like it. That way they don't have to think for themselves.

Most people are cowards and even they can't bring themselves to admit it. The sad truth. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah the realisation that it's possible that most people simply want to be controlled and absolved of any moral responsibility for their actions is a scary one. Covid times scared me. Not covid... The way people mindlessly complied.

I also think there's value in just talking about shit without feeling like we're trying to solve it here on the internet. It's good to discuss things, get different points of view, I just wish people would stop feeling like like they have to be activists about everything.

I guess I'm tired of being preached at. It's the difference between discussing the ways in which people cook their food, as opposed to being told how food should be cooked by someone.

Oh yeah the rise of activists is why we can't have an interesting society 😕

I'm not entirely sure if it's because they're mostly youngsters, because I've met some VERY intelligent young people. They too seem bored by social media. Although, keep in mind that this is a very rare occurrence.

I feel the same way when it comes to controversial topics. Most people have become too scared to discuss topics that are deemed as such. But, here's the thing, controversial topics are often viewed as problematic by the vast majority, and most people don't wish to solve problems, they wish to ignore them. But that's not how you fix problems. They NEED to be discussed. When it comes to controversial topics, there is one in particular that I am always pondering: national borders. Nikola Tesla always believed that world peace will only be achieved through the deletion of such barriers. Personally, I believe the same. When you consider the vastness of the world, national borders seem quite ridiculous. They always lead to a sense of nationalism, racism, hatred, and many other forms of conflict. Many of these issues are the cause of the global issues we're experiencing right now.

Replying to

Oh, I wasn't trying to suggest that it will. But, I do believe that Tesla's philosophy on this matter is spot on.

I haven't read about it from Tesla's perspective. That's probably an idea I came up with reading anarchist literature and studying conflicts.

The removal of borders means nation-states can't keep their tax slaves under control. They could just move to a place where they agree with how their tax dollars are spent. It will never voluntarily happen 😕

And you've also got those people groups smoothed into the same borders as another dominating group causing wars. That's a good part of the world's longest running civil wars in the borderlands of Myanmar.

Do you like your social media to be people focused or topic focused and why?

#AskNostr

I enjoy a mix of both. People is light interactions. Topics can get involved and take my whole day and I'd rather be learning something new on my own.

In 12 years I haven't hit the "submit to me" card. We are great at compromising. If I know my decision will hurt him more than me not doing it I don't do it. And he does the same.

Replying to

That sucks, there's often no winning in these kinds of situations

It's fine I was grumpy, then I called Beave and went back to happy and chatty for a bit so it didn't play on my mind before bed.

I think this is probably properly the end and I think it's best for both of us coz apparently I'm a toxic friend too 🤷🏽‍♀️

By next year I'll probably hardly think about it.

I thought there was something a little odd about Toby's mouth lol. He looks very cute though, has a noble look about him, almost aristocratic.

This is why he's sometimes known as Master Tobias... It all goes to his head though.

Replying to

Sounds like you're better off now

I probably am. A shame I'm fairly nostalgic at times. I've written him off over and over but always gone back. This time I probably won't.

Toby is so cute!

His personality and eyes are mesmerising.

Replying to

Lol did you give him an unfiltered piece of your mind? Is he now your former friend?

Basically yes and yes.

Toby yawns 😻

Toby hasn't had teef for years. He probably has some kind of auto-immune disease that made his body attack them.

Oh shit what happened?

I was already grumpy with a friend for months and he usually doesn't ever even message me, but as I was drinking and contemplating how underhanded he has been while drinking on my own he had the audacity to message me. The rest is history 🤷🏽‍♀️

Alcohol affects people differently. Some get really happy and chatty, others get a really short fuse, some get emotional, etc. What kind of drunk are you?
