This may be the single most far fetched pin and yarn connection I’ve ever seen on the internet. Bravo to you sir. Please pass on the left.

Right on! Take this advice to avoid the hospital and have your baby at home if possible! It’s safer than you think. The hospital is just there to extract as much money as they can out of you. They charge you for everything they do and plenty of stuff they don’t do! If you go the hospital route at least audit the bill at the end. Bonus, a home birth gives you more control over when or if you get a SSN# for your child. If you’re into any of that stuff a home birth makes it way easier.

Bruh what the fuck was that!? The NFL would never miss an opportunity to market the shit out of this. His face would be plastered on everything and he’d be doing a million photo ops. This fake and gay. I think he’s holding the NFL hostage right now. More money or I’m spilling the beans!

Dude don’t feel bad. It’s a cult. It’s the same as telling a Jehovah’s Witness it’s okay to celebrate Christmas.

Tin foil hats are the new normal! Crater earth, hollow earth, flat earth, hidden continents, hidden history, “moon landing”, ether energy…it’s all on the table at this point.

Not that hard really. Extra butter on the popcorn is the key.

Corporate HR speak. Anyone who has worked in a large company for a long time has seen thousands of emails like this. Say a lot without saying what you really want to say.

There is a point here that most people are missing. Just look at any stat for boys and you will see they are so far behind girls it’s ridiculous. High school graduation rates, college admission rates, suicide rates, incarceration rates, and the list goes on. All dominated by girls. The deck has been so stacked against boys it’s no wonder this is what it has come to. Physical fitness is the one thing all the authorities cannot bullshit. You can talk about girl power all you want but even the most elite female athlete would struggle against her very average male counterparts. What we’re seeing now is the troon middle leg salute to everybody that told them why can’t you be more like little Susan. And it is hilarious.

When all this started and he said COVID is a hoax, everyone lost their shit. Turns out that was the most accurate thing said during the whole pandemic.

Everyone you’ll see at Mr. Olympia this year is on insulin injections. Why? Because it gets your muscles big as shit. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, it’s just how it works. You don’t have to go to that extreme to get results for muscle growth. You can do it with diet. You make the most important point here, some people don’t like lifting weights and don’t want the extra muscle. If that is not your goal don’t do it. Someone can do what you did, still have a body they are proud of, and lose a lot of fat. That’s what matters. Figure out how you want to look and go for it.

That’s true, protein does stimulate an insulin response. It’s more balanced whereas eating carbs stimulates an unbalanced one. That’s why it’s good to have both before and after you lift. If your blood sugar is normal of course.

Low protein and high fat does work to lose weight, including adipose weight which is what most people are after. There’s lots of ways to lose weight though. You could eat 1 bag of skittles every day and lose a shit ton. You would also probably look like shit. Depends on the goal. Some people want to be muscled out and some just want to be thin. There are lots of ways to go about it. And IMO it’s better to track what you’re doing and adjust as needed rather than just doing one thing and rejecting everything else.

Correct. Insulin gets more blood flow and amino acids to your muscles. Muscles that are in repair will grow bigger and faster because of that. Again, it depends on your goals. Timed intake of carbs will help people trying to get bigger muscles. If you’re trying to lose a lot of weight, cutting carbs helps because they are calorie dense.

It is insulin. Leptin does help regulate body weight and how insulin is used. But insulin is what gets more blood and amino acids(from protein) to your muscles which is what causes them to grow. If your goal is muscle growth, increasing insulin by eating carbs before and after workouts gets you there faster.

Insulin. Just from a muscle growth standpoint insulin is a big factor. Bracket your workouts with carbs to spike your insulin and you will see a big difference. Of course if being swole is not what you’re going for then it doesn’t matter.

Idiocracy got it pretty spot the fuck on. Not a novel, but he wrote the script. And he told the story about as humorously as could possibly be done. It’s almost a documentary at this point.

You either want government to tell you how, who, and what to worship or you don’t.

Full Metal Alchemist is really good. Psycho Pass is another one that shows what will happen when the world is ruled by AI and social credit scores. It’s on HULU I believe. But you can always torrent it.
