@TexasGrl7998 @anymanfitness Plus another 400 calories of cheese and bacon.

This person probably believes they ate 1200 calories, but probably just ate their idea of a single portion and not the actual portion sizes. Like, for instance, a salad is a good low calorie meal… until you add 400 calories worth of ranch (less than half a cup). An actual portion is 1-2 tablespoons.

No you didn’t. You probably think you did. But you didn’t. If you truly did, go to the hospital immediately, something is very wrong.

@johnkonrad @AdamKinzinger I'm a bit skeptical of the execution there but at least it's a good idea.

The Dems and @AdamKinzinger tried to shutdown lobster meals at sea and failed 🙌

@CryptoJelleNL 100% guarantee the Trump Administration has not forgotten about the midterms coming up.

Tinfoil hat senses tingling about the shit they're going to push to 'combat the energy crisis' like its March 2020

@FoxNews Is there a bigger grifter alive than Bernie sanders?

SEN. SANDERS: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households.” “Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

@ScottPresler Eat a variety of food mostly meat.

One of the most important things I did to lose 50 pounds is change the way I view food. Food is medicine. Food is meant to nourish, strengthen, & heal our bodies. When I’m at the grocery store, I ask myself, “Will this food strengthen my body?” That mentality changed my life.

@Dollar_baby_Dee Men will gladly take this.

What a relief. “Please take your pills before coming to my house” E sweet me die 🤣🤣🤣

@Shirinsmit Everything

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway???

@BowTiedYukon Raised 4 kids, early morning gym, only way to go.

You’re lucky, it must be nice to have time to work out Mother fucker I’m up and done my workout before you’re out of bed and I’m in bed sleeping while you’re sitting on the couch drinking IPA’s scrolling IG leaving comments on sluts pictures

@jamminvh @TheMindScourge Oil in America is only thing that matters.

@yoderpaul @TheMindScourge WTI, yes. Brent, no. Have a look at bond markets today before declaring victory

Hormuz is a weapon that can only be fired once No one should expect a quick resolution to the current crisis, but across the next decade, even the next 3-5 years, the choke point of Hormuz will be massively substituted for The Gulf Arab states are all very rich, with high per capita GDP - the best single measure of relative state capacity - easy access to global markets, especially financial, and have the favorable backing of the US Everyone has known about the Hormuz vulnerability for decades. The Iranians have continually hinted around closing it, but never did. Now they have, but Hormuz is a gun that cannot be reloaded. Deterrents work only up to the point of use. Once used, they have failed. The purpose of a deterrent is to *not* be used Many analysts have made this basic mistake. They think that Iran is now in a position of strength, having exercised its Hormuz option. But the opposite is true. A state is weakest after it has used its deterrent. The cost of that deterrence is now priced in. The worst having been done, the targets of the deterrent are now free to make other arrangements. Before, they were reluctant to do so because of the switching costs. Now, they have no choice; they will not allow themselves to be controlled in this way again Hormuz may never reopen. But the importance of this is a depreciating asset.

@kjgillenwater @PaulSkallas Yes most people don't make it to 86.

@yoderpaul @PaulSkallas He was 86. Isn't that a long life? Expectations for longevity are very weird these days.

Didn't even make it to 90. A bit of a disappointment. Spent his life in good shape. Active. Ate well. Wealthy. Focused on health.

@JWhitebread1 She should have said "you didn't tell us about the atomic bombs coming".

Okay, I think I need to explain something to any Japanese listeners. In American culture, very close friends often express affection through a practice we call "giving grief" or less delicately, "bustin' balls." We insult each other, make inappropriate comments at the other's expense, often at very inappropriate times, etc. It is frankly, one of the surest signs of trust and closeness between equals. We wouldn't do this with someone who WASN'T a very close friend and confidant. You see this more amongst men, and more in informal situations. Admittedly, you don't see it much in professional settings, and it almost never appears in international diplomacy, BUT, Trump is built different. I have no doubt, that's how Trump meant it. It's too on the nose to be anything else. He's trying to say, we respect you and admire you greatly, and we can banter like this, because we are equals. The correct response is to utterly ROAST or insult your friend back in response. This can even evolve into what is called a "game of dozens" which is a friendly contest to see you can insult their friend with the best, most scathing insult. I think I will stop before I have to explain "Your Momma" jokes, but I think you can get the gist. Please feel free to utterly destroy America with a clever insult in response.

@MrsMassacre Go to these places off season only.

Is this what you thought Yellowstone Park was like? Unmoving traffic jams lasting 1-3 hours; rivaling that of suburban areas in big cities. Nowhere to park. Insane prices. Tourists harassing animals, littering, picking flowers, influencers everywhere, sticking their hands in basins and ruining them, no good camping spots left because people use AI programs to snatch up the good ones within milliseconds of the site opening up, and most of your day spent behind Asian tourist busses. The overwhelming amount of tourists have made the park experience unbearable. You used to be able to go there and explore nature peacefully. Now it's worse than Disneyland.

@Oceanbreeze473 "all guns are loaded" "all intruders are armed"

Should you be allowed to SHOOT a person who has broken into your house .. even if they are UNARMED?

@CryptoJelleNL Solid plan 👌

I know many of you are waiting for me to drop the new traffic light chart - and it's going to take a bit longer. For now though; this is what my plan to scale back into the market looks like. Two areas of interest based on price; and watching the RSI for signs that the market is bottoming earlier than I thought. DCA starts either in those boxes, or when $BTC locks in a strong higher low on the RSI - whichever comes first. Rest of the setup will come once the time is right. Patience!

@nypost The Roman Republic and Empire lasted over a thousand years much of that time they were extremely wealthy and powerful, it would actually be surprising if they did not explore the entire world during that time.

2,000-year-old artifact may be evidence that Romans found New World - a thousand years before Columbus trib.al/Xpg40PY

@Rainmaker1973 Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are primarily lifestyle diseases, change your lifestyle fix your diseases but you're probably not ready for that conversation.

Scientists found an off-switch for high cholesterol – and it could save millions of lives. In a major breakthrough, researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have uncovered what could be the body’s “off switch” for managing cholesterol during inflammation—potentially opening the door to new treatments for heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. The key lies in an enzyme called IDO1, which activates during inflammation. Under normal conditions, immune cells called macrophages help absorb cholesterol. But when inflammation kicks in – from stress, infection, or injury – IDO1 throws a wrench in the system. It triggers the production of a chemical called kynurenine, which stops macrophages from doing their job. Cholesterol builds up. Arteries clog. Disease follows. When scientists blocked IDO1 in lab settings, those cells regained their cholesterol-regulating ability—suggesting it may be possible to halt disease progression before it begins. The study didn’t stop there. Scientists also identified another enzyme, nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which worsens IDO1’s effects. Targeting both IDO1 and NOS together could lead to powerful new therapies aimed at preventing inflammation-related illnesses at their source. With cardiovascular disease and diabetes among the world’s leading killers, this discovery could mark a turning point in how we treat—and even prevent—some of the deadliest modern conditions.

@BasedSamParker Turns out he lived as he preached, you find that hard to understand.

One thing (of many) that has bothered me about the Charlie Kirk narrative was his lack of "success" with women. Stay with me here. Charlie Kirk was a 6'5" athlete, with a good intellect & normie-tier politics. Maybe not the best looking guy, but it's not like his cupboard was bare. Women like tall men of influence. He basically spent about 7 years at a single guy hanging around exclusively college kids, becoming the most popular college influencer in America & building real power. The guy was friends with many powerful, rich, connected people. He was the ideal man for legions of women. He should have had girls THROWING themselves at him. He should have had his pick of women. We should have heard stories about who Charlie Kirk was dating. Gossip. Rumors. Etc. He was a certified, bona-fide 20s-something American hero celebrity. But that's not how it all went down. Instead, we heard there were no girlfriends. That he was a virgin until Erika (good for him if true, btw). No sexual encounters, whatsoever—which, if the rumors about many others in TPUSA are to be believed—is extremely anomalous! He was allegedly surrounded by all kinds of people who were sexually active—gay and straight alike! TPUSA is filled with college coeds for its ambassadors. Smart girls, hot girls, motivated girls, calculating girls, politically connected girls, etc. Girls with multiple combinations of those traits. Yet Charlie spurned every single one? Couldn't land even one single girlfriend? Didn't have one fling? Never once got his groove on? Never once succumbed to the horde of women beating down his door? And then, when he did get married at 27, it was to a 32-year old woman. No offense, ladies, but I was once in my 20s. And men in their mid 20s see women in their 30s as ancient. Old as the hills. Washed up. Why marry a 32-year old when you can snag a 22-year old? That's like a 10-year warranty! This is how the vast majority of men in their 20s think. And Charlie had no shortage of access to women in their early 20s. It's weird. And on top of that, the woman he married hadn't been able to maintain a relationship herself into her 30s. That alone is a major red flag for men. Not to mention the many alleged lies she's told. IMO, she lies a lot. About everything. Surely Charlie would have picked up on that. It's really unattractive. People say Charlie had no game. But the "Bob's Burgers" story where he straight up told her he wanted to date her, not hire her, was a total Chad move. I'm sorry, but something about the Charlie Kirk story just isn't adding up for me. I honestly don't know what, but the math ain't mathing. Am I the only one?

@alt_w_v_g I stopped going to the doctor, I use grok for my doctor now, I told grok you are my doctor now, he said I can't be a doctor, I said well you are now.

Went to the doctor the other week My wife made the appointment She said I "look tired" I said I am tired She said "not normal tired. Weird tired." I don't know what that means but I went anyway Nice office Fish tank in the lobby Third one this year Signed in at 1:48pm My appointment was at 2:00pm 12 minutes early Because I was raised to believe that matters The receptionist said "the doctor is running a little behind" I said "how far behind" She said "about 45 minutes" I said "so my 2:00 appointment is actually a 2:45 appointment" She said "we appreciate your patience" I said "I haven't shown any yet" My wife grabbed my arm There was a sign behind the desk "Missed appointments without 24-hour notice will incur a $75 fee" The doctor was 45 minutes late Nobody offered me $75 We sat down CNN was playing on mute with subtitles Running a segment about New York City redesigning its trash cans Cost the city $4 million I looked at my wife She said "don't start" Seven magazines on the table All from 2019 I read an article about supply chain disruptions that have since been resolved Very informative My wife was on her phone She looked up and said "WebMD says you might be dehydrated" I said "so we're paying $1,800 for a second opinion on WebMD" She went back to her phone At 2:54pm they called my name A nurse walked me to a room Took my blood pressure Took my temperature Typed for three minutes Then said "the doctor will be right in" I sat on the paper The paper ripped immediately I looked at the wall There was a diagram of a colon Not how I planned to spend my Tuesday 3:19pm The doctor walked in 1 hour and 19 minutes after my scheduled appointment He was looking at his phone Shook my hand without making eye contact Sat down and read my chart for about 30 seconds While I sat there watching him learn who I was He said "so what brings you in today" I said "my wife thinks I look weird tired" He said "what does that mean" I said "I was hoping you'd tell me" He said "when's the last time you had bloodwork done" I said "2019 maybe" He said "we should run a full panel" I said "fine" He asked if I was sleeping well I said "I have three kids and a golden retriever who thinks 3am is a reasonable time to need outside" He said "are you drinking enough water" I said "probably not" He said "that might be it" I said "you think the reason I look weird tired is because I don't drink enough water" He said "dehydration is more common than people think" I said "I've been here over an hour and sat on a piece of paper that ripped to be told to drink water" He said "we'll know more when the bloodwork comes back" I said "when will that be" He said "3 to 5 business days" I said "business days" He said "yes" I said "my blood has business days" He didn't respond Then he said "any other concerns" I said "several. But none you can bill for." He shook my hand again Still no eye contact Total face time with the doctor: 6 minutes Total time in the building: 1 hour and 37 minutes I was examined for approximately 6% of the time I was present I've fired people for better numbers than that My wife was in the waiting room She asked how it went I said "I need to drink water" She said "I told you that last week" I said "yes but now it's a medical opinion so it costs $1,800" She didn't laugh In the car she said "at least now you know you're fine" I said "I was fine when I walked in. I just didn't have the receipt to prove it." She didn't disagree The bloodwork came back four business days later Everything was normal The doctor's office sent a message through their portal It said "results look great. Continue to stay hydrated and follow up in 12 months." Follow up in 12 months To be told to drink water again $1,800 1 hour and 37 minutes 6 minutes of face time One ripped piece of paper And the same advice my wife gave me for free Plz fix. Thx.
