  • Vaping is mostly illegal because tobacco companies have to switch. They have a lot of production facilities. Those need to be tuned down, closed or converted. That would cost them a lot of money. So it’s best to slow that down with laws.

    Tobacco companies make the laws. If anything related to them is outlawed or regulated or taxed, it is because they want it that way.

    Things that are outlawed become regulated. Things that are regulated can be made expensive. It takes money to compete in a regulated market. It’s a long-game. And tobacco knows how to play a long-game.

    My guess: They’ll wait until more small companies pop up, then buy them all, and then kill tobacco, which is much less profitable than producing vape stuff. And then they’ll triple the price.


  • For me, it was the plants and the fiber. They made me groggy, sleepy, and constipated. The word antinutrients is slowly becoming an item; And for me, it’s true. Without them, I instantly felt better, stronger. And I had a much bigger will to live.

    Keto to carnivore was as big a difference as standard diet to keto.

    I would call it keto on easy mode.


  • I quit alcohol, carbohydrates, weed, porn and tobacco two and a half years ago at age 42, a few weeks after breaking my clavicle in complicated ways, and while checking for additional damage, a fatty liver was identified.

    I never picked up alcohol, weed, porn and tobacco and reintegrated sugar in reasonable amounts, like at social events.

    I did it cold turkey. One day to the next. It was absolute hell for three days. I was sick, had a fever and malaria like sweats. Then it was a psychological shitshow for two weeks.

    I was overweight, so I fasted completely for six days to withstand any temptations. Only had salt and water / electrolytes. After six days I had eggs and sardines for two weeks or so. Didn’t poop for almost a month, even had a colonoscopy to check. Everything was fine. Just adapting.

    Then I did keto for a few months, found that to be too complicated, and then went carnivore with social-event exceptions, and never looked back. Keto was fine, but being a carnivore changed everything. All my little ailments went away. Skin issues, scalp issues, rashes, moodiness, sleepiness, urges and cravings, all of it.

    Lost 12 kg in those first two weeks, barely slept, but was energetic like hell, only skipped work when having the fever and sweats.

    Two weeks of hell, half a year of experiments and two years of a new life. It is like being 20 years younger. I haven’t been sick or ill since, either.

    Good luck to you.






  • I’m pretty sure humanity would die out that way. Inspired to raise one? For most people, it just happens. I’d go so far and say that half of all pregnancies are unplanned. Inspired. What world are you living in? Sounds like a very entitled one.

    If you have the means to raise a kid, you should. That’s the whole purpose of your body. Seriously. The meaning of life.

    You’ve been brainwashed for too long if you think that a kid could be a burden. Especially if you have time to be bored. That’s the reason you are bored in the first place: you are not fulfilling your only true purpose.

    What has society done to you that you believe reaching level 140 on mage or knitting a hat is worth more than raising a kid?


  • It’s the “they don’t even think about it” part that makes me feel this way.

    With cars, it just leads to wasted space and resources.

    Working in a hospital, that same thinking leads to Dialysis, Metabolic Disease and amputations. I see it multiple times per day.

    Often intelligent people, but acting moronic. Not using their intelligence. That’s quite apparent in SUVs. They cost a fortune, so it’s usually not stupidity. It’s just them being mindless. And without a second thought about others.

    I stand by my choice of words.

    Sometimes, yeah, an SUV makes sense. Then again, driving it into a congested city, that doesn’t make sense.

    If I saw someone driving it through a mountainous region, I wouldn’t say anything. That’s fine. :)







  • He’s got weight problems. Despite being intelligent and having every single option available to him, he’s too stupid to eat. There simply is no excuse for that. And instead of learning how to properly feed himself, he’s trying drugs to suppress appetite. Which, again, wouldn’t be an issue with proper feeding. I wouldn’t follow that man anywhere. He’s got some grand ideas, but can’t even manage the absolute basics. A trend these days.

    Why would I trust anyone who can’t even manage their own body?





  • What worries me most is that he plays smart, yet he doesn’t even know how to properly feed himself. Whenever I see a supposedly smart fat guy, I cringe. Some base intelligence and lots of luck, sure. Smart? Nah. Same with any rich guy or politician who is out of shape or voluntarily sick. Not worth following, lacking a basic sense of reality.
