Leo Abstract

we aren't machines piloted by willpower: we cannot hold our breath until we fall asleep, and very few can choose to gate off pain signals. some can count calories long-term and starve themselves thin, but they are few. we're trying to solve obesity for the many, not the few.

@karma_gardener @eigenrobot @gfodor greatest ever to do it.

@eigenrobot @gfodor there is some genuine thread of genius wrapped up in all of this, one hates to admit it

"you didn't tell anyone about pearl harbor" is of course wildly inappropriate but it's also socially ingenious as the president of america he's citing pearl harbor to the japanese . . . approvingly? you turn it over and over

@a2mfk74 @Mangan150 @paulb3rd i've long thought creatine a scam of some kind, but took it anyway. then i quit for a while (doing some dietary experiments), and then added it back after returning to baseline. it makes the pump better in a subtle way, more pleasurable--more what Ahnold was talking about.

@Mangan150 @paulb3rd I’m a few weeks in and no GI issues. About 5-10 mg in the morning with coffee. At the same time I got back into lifting after losing a lot of weight. I’m seeing results already but can’t draw any direct correlation, since my baseline was low. But research seems good, cost low

I am giving creatine another try. I am about 3 weeks in. My stomach is handling 5mg okay. More than that, it's shit my pants. I honestly notice no difference with or without it. Never have. Am I the only one who feels like it basically does nothing?

@SquattingWulrus @eigenrobot @foster_type Literally just yesterday on here I was talking about using airstrikes to effect regime change in the UK. Only shame of it is that Denmark is the least traitorously anti-white country in Western Europe, and it's a pity that they're the ones that hold Greenland.

@SquattingWulrus @eigenrobot @foster_type Good to see a Canadian getting it right. I don't at all understand what the big deal is here, and the example I was planning on using when I tapped through the comments is that I've been hearing jokes about invading Canada and annexing it literally my entire life.

I'm seeing a lot of my friends take this position but I think three things: 1) it's revisionist and an attempt to resolve cognitive dissonance over one of the most inexplicably bad things the administration has ever done. 2) it's a canard to say "the invasion threat wasn't serious, therefore this is a non-issue." The threat was a huge issue whether it was credible or not. 3) Denmark was absolutely right to take it seriously regardless, and their moves to that effect helped force the administration to back down, not out of fear of losing an armed confrontation, but by forcing key contingents who were quietly tolerating Trump's antics to get serious about pushing back

@Ibuytrashstocks @planefag Nobody's even talking about the U.S. Did you read your own tweet before you posted it? I'm saying that what Israel is doing is rather obviously not total war. It might be more war than you would like, but that's not the standard we're meeting here.

@Leo_Abstract @planefag Well you go ahead and define it for me cause there's only one definition and the US certainly doesn't appear to be inflicting it upon Iran

a'ight I'mma break down the War Thing for y'all lots of people in Current year are like "nuh uh the country best at WAR in current year cannot win WAR" and then they're like "cuz they refuse to do WAR good cuz POLITICS" (no longer true.) "cuz WAR was done DIFFERENTLY 30 years ago." (irrelevant.) "Cuz WAR is going OTHER DIRECTION due to imaginary shit I just made up five seconds ago." (desperate cope) yea naw broskis we are best at WAR and we finally have unlimited scope to WAR and we are doing WAR until we are quit satisfied with how much WAR we have WARred. Cope

@david_m_wagner @BobbyBorkIII yes. that's what I said.

@Leo_Abstract @BobbyBorkIII The KofC were founded as Catholic, non-secret society countering the pressures on Catholic men to join the Masons.

Exposure to 80-90 IQ TardCaths can turn even the most tasteful integralist into a secular shitlib. Pius IX had the good idea that integralism was itself supposed to be a sort of secret society, similar to masonry. Not for the vulgar masses.

@mihai_vie @PGC1a_RB Agreed. Anyone who isn't genuinely enjoying this should log off immediately.

The irony of preaching health and wellness while constantly tweeting in anger and negativity is rampant on here Tweets are a criminally underrated biomarker

@eigenrobot @Scorchedearvv wtf unfollowed

@Scorchedearvv >dual citizen actually im a mischling goyslave please do some basic checks here

Watch how Israeli dual citizens in one stroke call Iran's government a "regime" and claim Iran can't hurt Israel

@escapefrommelos masterful tweet. maybe a tiny bit too 'on the nose'. the cynic could argue that it's 'qualityslop' for ragebait. still, take my 'like'.

it's staggering to me that this kind of callous, shallow recklessness is legal

@markeatsmeat @arteesun salt and electrolytes on keto are a rare example of a double scam--somehow both directions are wrong simultaneously. (admittedly, some people really seem to thrive one way or the other.)

@arteesun What benefits do you notice?

I don’t know what to do about salt on keto. Been testing it lower with many benefits but my blood pressure is higher.

@Mangan150 @bryan_johnson god DAMN it i kept putting off ordering some leeches from literal leech dot com and now Bryan Johnson is making it cringe to do so. i'm (almost) always right but how often does that lead me to taking right action? something to ponder.

@bryan_johnson You're already doing it. x.com/Mangan150/stat…

Leeches to improve testosterone and sexual function. Will look into this and see if worth doing an experiment.

@david_m_wagner @BobbyBorkIII the secret societies were opposed to the Church, first. hence the KoC, here.

@BobbyBorkIII Bob, not even the word “integralist” was current in Bl. Pius IX’s time. It burst on the scene ~30 yrs later. + the Church is fundamentally opposed to secret societies. But “TardCaths” is a great coinage!

@11975MHz i agree overall, but please note there's nothing wrong with admitting that there are some kinds of acting that black folk are the best at (and second place isn't close). it damn near broke Bob Hoskins trying to get this kind of performance out of himself.

One of the things I realized while watching Song of the South for the first time was WHY they chose Song of the South for their big live action/animated feature. Disney says they wanted to put out something positive and magical now that the war was ending. The actual reason is because convincingly syncing animation with real life is a hell of a lot harder than it looks but Disney was convinced they'd be the studio to master this first. You'll notice that Uncle Remus is about the only character in this movie interacting with the animation. He makes it look effortless, doesn't he? It's only until you take a step back and realize that its his black skin and starkly contrasting eyes that are doing most of the work here suspending our disbelief. You are convinced that somehow, this man in real life on an outdoor stage in Phoenix, Arizona in December 1944, is interacting with actual cartoons. This isn't a psychological indictment on Disney, it's on the rest of us. Not that it's anything worth getting upset over, but such are the times.

@lisavsworld happiest couple i know got engaged the week after their first date (which as i recall involved eating chili dogs). admittedly this was in the 1960s. your mileage may vary.

So, um... my dad told my mom he loved her after 3 weeks. 😳 (married 40 years)

@AmericanaMama_ agreed. parents should teach their kids that hitting back gets you punished, because the authorities will only see the justified reprisal. the right move is to jump the guy later when no-one is looking. thanks for doing this public service, parents today need it.

Nah fam

@sappholives83 a sad case of intersectionality: to us, Jewish folk seem distinct. to anti-white leftists here (or everyone in the Global South), they're just a group of White colonial settlers South Africa meekly agreed to stop existing after being pressured in this way. browns expect jews to.

I’m just going to say this — had Mexican soldiers invaded across the USA’s southern border on 10/7/2023 to rape and murder their way across part of Texas, then paraded the corpses of dead, naked American women around like trophies for the Mexican civilian population to spit on, by 10/7/2024, Mexico as an independent country would have ceased to exist — and no one would have said a word in protest. No one tells non-Jewish nations that they must turn the other cheek after acts of war. Only Israel is expected to meekly bury her dead; only Jews are supposed to constantly mourn, but never to retaliate; to accept butchery and brutality and bombings as the price they must pay for mere existence — and it has far less to do with Palestinian lives than it does with the age-old European conviction that Jews only exist so that the rest of society has someone to abuse.

@Ibuytrashstocks @planefag i feel as though the words 'total war' have a precise meaning that may perhaps be eluding you, here.

Because Israel attacked the natural gas, which was not on the table. This is not total war, but Israel decided to make it total war. Israel is an extremely sketchy ally to have because they are as unpredictable and careless as Iran is. Iran either needs to be eradicated tomorrow, or there needs to be an end tomorrow

@CereusKnight @deuteronormativ @uncledoomer once, early in my political journey i attended a 'town hall' on ADUs and was told to my face by an overweight brown woman that opposing ADUs is racist. you can imagine this did not diminish my enthusiasm for opposing ADUs.

@deuteronormativ @uncledoomer "Section 8 housing but only for Whites (productive, low crime)."

am i the only one who feels like "you can rent a shed in someones backyard" is less of a big win as far as housing affordability goes, and more of an unsettling harbinger of our backslide out of prosperity?

@IrishLady0071 @Jon_Berghausen @leekern13 @KrishanVik even depicting agreed-upon scenes from his life with him entirely absent would create a kind of art that is now illegal in much of Europe. and not just his child-marriage wedding night(s). funny how that doesn't work for Christ.

@Jon_Berghausen @leekern13 @KrishanVik Absolutely nothing.

Will the London Mayor and Labour government allow us to hold a “Drawing Mohammed” event in Trafalgar Square? It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate freedom of speech and tolerance in this wonderful city Everyone will be welcome: Muslims, Christian, Jews, atheists
