@estencooke @SamaHoole Try monk fruit extract in your coffee. Not technically carnivore but a few drops is all it takes. Not the crap with the erythritol. Meal prep some individual sized meatloafs, easy to make a bunch at a time, and keep and reheat well.

I'm having a hard time with consistency because I work 10-12 hours a day (w commute time) 4x weekly. I'm too tired to cook when I get home after 8 pm. On the other 3 days I do very well, although I'm having a hard time quitting the coffee w sugar. I know I'll have to go cold turkey there. At work I have frozen egg bites and sausages that I can heat up in the microwave. I stack them w a square of cheese. I snack on pistachios - just a handful. The problem comes later.

You're sat there with the plate in the sink, and you can't quite bring yourself to look at it. A few weeks into carnivore, and tonight you cracked. The bread, the chocolate, the pasta at your mate's birthday, whatever it was. And now you're bloated, foggy, slightly ashamed, and quietly convinced you've undone every bit of progress you made. You haven't. One meal does not undo what you've built. The body doesn't work like that. Your metabolism didn't reset. Your fat adaptation didn't expire. Your progress is sitting exactly where you left it, waiting for you to come back to the table. What did happen is that you got an extremely useful reminder of why you eat the way you eat. The headache. The lethargy. The bloated, sluggish, dimmed-down version of yourself you can feel right now. That's the comparison data. That's the whole argument, delivered for free, in your own body, by the food itself. Nobody gets through their first year of carnivore without slipping up. Nobody. The people who tell you they did are either lying or so recently converted they haven't had a wedding to attend yet. The dangerous part is the spiral. Beating yourself up makes the next slip more likely, because shame is one of the most reliable triggers for repeating the exact behaviour that caused it. The body and the mind both reach for what feels familiar when they're being kicked. So don't stress over what's already happened. Notice how you feel. File it under evidence. Eat meat at the next meal. Carry on. That's the entire recovery protocol.

@SamaHoole "Why are there pesticides on my broccoli." Answer: To keep pests from destroying it. Trace chemical residues on produce pose essentially zero risk to human health. Great question, Sama!

@Knightfall21 @Devon_Eriksen_ @justalexoki What if souls aren't stored in a heavenly warehouse waiting to be randomly assigned at birth and are instead created at conception? Unique to the vehicle which was inevitably itself instead of lucky.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @justalexoki This only works from a materialist frame where you only are your physical body. If you believe in a soul, and the possibility of God situating you elsewhere, then thinking about your chances of being born in this spot in the world, at this point in history, makes a lot of sense.

Put a 100 marbles in a jar, 14 blue marbles to represent the population of the West, and 86 red marbles to represent everyone else. If you draw a marble, blindly and at random, from the jar, you have a 14% chance of drawing a blue marble. This how @justalexoki sees the moment of conception. He thinks he is a random generic soul, fresh from the Well of Random Generic Souls, drawing a marble from the jar. 14% blue, 86% red. But you don't draw the marble. You are the marble. A blue marble only has a 14% chance of being selection in a random draw. But, in or out of the jar, a blue marble has a 100% chance of being blue. This is the Seagull Test, which is an inversion of the Breakfast Test. The Breakfast Test requires you to describe a hypothetical timeline where you skipped breakfast this morning, to prove you can imagine hypotheticals. The Seagull Test requires you to reject the question "What if you were a seagull?" as a nonsense question, to prove that you understand the difference between valid and nonsense hypotheticals. You can skip breakfast and still be you, but there is no version of you that can be a seagull, and no seagull that can, in any meaningful way, be you. To pass the Seagull Test, you must reject the question and refuse to answer, or, better yet, reframe the question so that it asks for the intended information in a coherent way, i.e. "What does it feel like to be a seagull?" Which is a very, very different question. I can, with good observational data and some intelligent speculation, possibly understand the thoughts and feelings of a Pakistani brick layer. But I cannot be one in any coherently possible universe, because I am, by definition, me. A blue marble.

@torreypines6 @Devon_Eriksen_ @bizlet7 Well that explains it

@Devon_Eriksen_ @bizlet7 Account from Canada. And their US replies clearly don't know that the people shown in the video are paki.

Everything that coastals accuse rednecks of doing are things that Indians actually do.

@Douglas98713889 @AndrewKolvet That's not what happened, at this level, over the last year.

@AndrewKolvet What you need to track (though it would be hard due to bad data) is the aggravated assault rates. Murder rates are skewed due to new trauma medicine, without which the numbers would be multiple times higher. ,

Was just reminded of this incredible stat that we don't talk about enough: Based on 2025 data, the murder rate is the lowest it's been since 1900. Murders fell 21%, making the 2025 drop the largest single-year percentage decrease on record. Murders plummeted 41% in Denver, 40% in Washington, D.C., and 40% in Omaha, Nebraska. 11 of 13 tracked crimes were lower in 2025 than in 2024. Early data from Q1 of this year indicates 2026 is on track to potentially set yet another record low.

@MausKeke @RandyRRQuaid Need receipts

@RandyRRQuaid Read the fucking Epstein files. Fat orange is absolutely a pedophile. There is no question about it. Why is he refusing to release the other half?

Neither Trump nor Michael Jackson has ever been a pedophile; only money-grubbing evil people say they are.

@malyksantiago @jakeshieldsajj What do you consider independent media? Honest question. Who is non-sponsored, non-biased, and has the resources to really be heard?

Was the shooting staged or real

@fakesportsbot @MyGolfSpy Apt.

@MyGolfSpy Your entire bit is about the quality of equipment in relation to the results. And now you're implying the equipment doesn't make a difference between first place and last place. So which is it?

RANDOM THOUGHT 💭 After almost every Tour win… you’ll hear from the shoe company, the belt company, the putter company, the driver company… all claiming they’re why that golfer won. Funny how you never hear from them when that same golfer finishes dead last. If you are responsible for winning aren’t you responsible for not winning too?

@shellshocktm @MichelangelYo @thebencheah

@MichelangelYo @thebencheah You're just pulling statistics out of your ass because there's no way a few dozen snowmobilers are literally dying after colliding with reinforced mailboxes every year. I'm sure a freak accident like that happens once in a few years but this combination is exceedingly implausible

Sure, this adheres to a strict interpretation of Just War Theory. However... we're talking about a mailbox. A mailbox is not a weapon. It does not serve any military purpose. Its existence is entirely inoffensive. That is why it is an easy target. A reinforced mailbox is purely defensive. Do not meddle with it and it will leave you alone. Strike it, and Newton's Third Law kicks in. Poke it and nothing will happen to you. Try to smash it and you risk smashing your own arm. It does not amplify an incoming force, it merely resists and returns it. Thus it is inherently proportionate. No law or theory of war requires that you advertise your capabilities. Concealment may feel wrong to a certain type of personality, but openness is not always a social good. Yes, you can fortify the mailbox in a blatantly obvious fashion. Some ne'er do well will notice it, then decide to pick another easier mark. You have deterred an attack on your own property by redirecting attention to someone else's. Now suppose the mailbox were covertly fortified. A vandal strikes it and is injured. He passes along word to his friends, and their friends. Then they will start to wonder: are all the mailboxes reinforced? They can't tell, so they must assume every mailbox is fortified. Thus, covert reinforcement does more to deter aggression than overt reinforcement. And ultimately, we want to see an end to mailbox destruction. This post is not about just war theory or mailboxes.

@Elder_Species @elonmusk @mattvanswol This is the way

@elonmusk @mattvanswol I donate my time to a food shelf. Drive truck, sort food, stock shelves. I know where my time goes and I see the people I’m helping. 3-6 hours a week. That’s the way to avoid funding NGOs. Help in your own community.

I hate to say it… But I’m struggling to be generous after all the fraud we’ve seen. There’s so few charities I trust now. I do a deep dive on a homeless charity… oh look, my tax dollars are funding that and it’s run by a Trump-hating Leftist. A Christian charity? Oh look, they’re helping illegal aliens. An education nonprofit? Oh look, it’s getting money from Left-wing political groups to send in Democrat activists to give lectures on LGBTQ oppression. Even my TAX DOLLARS I know are being used to fund some BS non-profit that probably has me on a list somewhere as an extremist and is actively trying to cancel me. It’s hard to be generous when I’m already being generously stolen from in taxes and when even the nonprofits aren’t actually solving the problems they reportedly exist to solve.

@Tooth_Chipper @SusanEdison1 @SamaHoole @timmerax Only because you can't

@SusanEdison1 @SamaHoole @timmerax I mean I don't lick my own asshole either so I'm not looking to them for expertise on flavor. 🤣

Nobody has ever given a full-throated sales pitch for a tin of sardines. That is a market gap. Allow me. The tin is food-grade steel, lined, sealed, oxygen removed. The environment inside is more controlled than most restaurant kitchens you have eaten in happily and without incident. No preservatives. Canning is heat and the absence of oxygen. Just the fish, suspended exactly as they were the day the boat came in. The omega-3s survive it. Studies comparing fresh to tinned show no meaningful difference in EPA and DHA. The fish was caught, canned within hours, and the fatty acids went nowhere. The bones are edible. They have been sitting in olive oil long enough to become soft, and they are the calcium delivery mechanism the sardine built for itself. You eat them. That is the intended use. What the tin actually contains: EPA and DHA in immediately usable form. Selenium, iodine, B12, CoQ10, vitamin D, calcium, complete protein with every essential amino acid. Your protein shake has twenty-three ingredients. The sardine grew its own nutrition in the North Atlantic and asked for nothing. A food humans have eaten since before written history now apparently requires a defence. Buy the tin.

@PamMurrayCT @SamaHoole Dollop of mayo, pepper and/or hot sauce. You have to already like fish, and then be able to tolerate a fairly fishy fish. Some are better than others.

@SamaHoole The taste though……😬 How do you make them taste better?

@RachelWeissman9 @Devon_Eriksen_ @McGddson Not much. No.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @McGddson I wonder how much political power an average white man has in the US. Is it good to hate America during a leftie president's term?

Europe's disease is not a disease of America. It is a disease of World War 2. In 1946, after we rescued them from themselves and each other, Europeans crawled out of the rubble they had made of their continent, looked around at their mess, wept for a bit, and then formed the wrong conclusions. They decided that ethnic nations are bad. That patriotism is bad. That supporting your tribe, in preference to random strangers, is bad. They decided that these things had led to the horrors of global war and genocide in Europe itself, and so all vestiges of loyalty to one's own people must be stamped out. Nations were, forever afterward, to be post-ethnic, post-cultural legal and economic units filled with... well, anyone, really. A bunch of people who didn't, in fact shouldn't, share values, goals, morals, customs, or even a common language. Nations were to be mere fiefs, their boundaries determined by which set of political elites controlled them. America, having not been smashed to rubble in WW2, did not share this view. We saw WW2 as an expensive adventure in bailing out Europe, which we spent our treasure and our blood on (including my own grandfather's life, and his chance to ever see his grandson) precisely because we shared cultural and ethical values with the people we were rescuing. But they hate us for it. They see our patriotism as fascism precisely because they see all patriotism as fascism. Psychologists have long understood that humans respond to favors with gratitude only up until those favors become so great that they have no hope of repaying them. At that point, their gratitude turns to resentment. How dare we believe we did them a favor? How dare I believe that my father gave up his father so Europe could be safe, peaceful, and free? Don't we know that, because ${ELABORATE MENTAL GYMNASTICS}, we didn't do them any favors by fighting that war? Don't we know that, because ${ANY PATRIOTISM = HITLER}, our love of our country and favoring of its interests makes us fascist and problematic? Well, no. I don't know that. I don't think any European nation is our ally any more. Certainly, we have shared interests, but how much does that really matter, when they refuse to act in those shared interests, because they have come to believe that acting in your people's interest is bad? They hate us too much to work with us. They resent every ounce of the burden which they are asked to share. Our support has made Europe into a pack of idle welfare recipients, complete with sense of entitlement and self-destructive behavior. But if we didn't defend them... who would? Their native populations have been purged of all patriotism, and who would blame them if they didn't fight for ruling elites that hate them? Their imported third-world barbarians won't fight for them. The very idea is laughable. What's left? And what will make them wake up and think about these questions? Perhaps they need to dig themselves out of the rubble of another war.

@WhatNowDoc @JMichaelWaller @DataRepublican @rightmom65 @nicksortor @GatesMcgavick @PamBondi Caliber.

@JMichaelWaller @DataRepublican @rightmom65 @nicksortor @GatesMcgavick @PamBondi Sorry, you voted to acquit because someone made a typo over the gauge of the weapon used? I can see your logic, a .44 couldn’t possibly be a lethal weapon but hey, it was a .45 and so that definitely can’t be the murder weapon because it’s not a .44…… No, I’m not getting it…

The people doing this think they’re the resistance; they’re really just mid-level bureaucrats who got mad that they could no longer leave the office at 4 PM or work from home daily when @PamBondi arrived. And they do not represent all DOJ career staff.

@PlotWeaver @riskoriented Lol

@riskoriented Great tool for its purpose and from a great state.

日本の友人たちへ For my friends in Japan🇯🇵: This is a common perspective on guns within America's gun culture. "How many guns should a normal person have?" - About five. "That sounds like a gun enthusiast to me." - No, a gun enthusiast has fifteen. "That sounds like someone obsessed with guns." - No people obsessed with guns have hundreds. "That sounds like a psycho." - No psychos seldom own guns, or just get one or two. "That sounds like a normal person though." - No, a normal person has about five, we already covered that ...

@chunkyaland @RickShielsPGA I volunteer as tribute.

@RickShielsPGA Do a YouTube video with a field of say 30 or so 18 handicappers … set it up in Master conditions …. see best and worst score …. Probably have to pay Augusta a fortune but the video would be most watched on YouTube ever. 🫡

What would an 18 handicap shoot in the opening round of The Masters?

@Devon_Eriksen_ @AnEriksenWife Take yer time, you got a lot going on. What you're doing here is easily as important.

@AnEriksenWife Well, I'm still working on the second one, so...

I was first introduced to anime by friends at the age of about 18, and most American animation, except the highest quality stuff, looked quite primitive in comparison. But it puzzled me for a while that in some anime, the characters had blue or green hair, or other wild colors not found in nature. Then it occurred to me... oh, they all have the same hair color and texture! They don't consider hair color to be a distinguishing feature. I'll bet they don't have "hair color" as part of the description on photo IDs like a driver's license. So of course they draw hair in wild colors if they are using a less realistic and more stylized visual style in that particular show. Which makes me wonder what different hair colors in White people look like to the Japanese. Does it seem strange, jarring, or exotic? Or has this become commonplace? Do some Japanese people dye their hair? I'm curious about these little details of the Japanese perspective, because I am a science fiction author (just starting out), and I think understanding how the world looks to different characters is what really makes fiction come alive.
