  • What the heck are you even talking about right now?

    You don’t think you could hit your macros with lentils? High protein, high fiber, calories for days. Throw in something like coconut oil and you’re gold. I only discovered lentils in the last few years since, yeah they don’t sound appetizing and are considered “poor people” food. Turns out they are great for you, delicious, cheap, and full of protein. I’m just mad it took me so long to find out about them.

    Look - you love meat. It’s easy. We get it. But lets not pretend you couldn’t get the equivalent nutrition from other sources.










  • The idea of adding a filter between human connection that will distort the message for profit is crazy for a few reasons. Most of all because it simply doesn’t need to happen.

    I mean how many of the current worldwide ills are a direct result of algorithms designed to increase engagement through ragebaiting? Disinformation is effective in no small part due to these algorithms making sure you’re made enough to engage and doom scroll. As long as you have a profit motive in these discussions this will be inevitable as far as I can see.

    When you imagine a world without Fox/Twitter/Meta/Reddit/Google (not all as culpable of course) force feeding things intent on making you engage (most easily though anger/rage - thanks evolution) it’s hard not to picture a better world. The internet pre-corporate control was a very different place due to a number of factors. I would argue mostly due to a lack of profit motive on social connection.
