That is my understanding of the available and validated research.

Vegetable fats are the lesser of two evils when it comes to processed vs unprocessed vegetable sourced fats.

However, I have come to the conclusion that vegetable fats are lacking in terms of overall benefits vs meat fats.

Could we eventually adapt to plant fats being better than meat fats? Absolutely, but we haven’t evolved that to be true and too many micronutrients are less available from vegetable fat sources.

No matter, processed foods are worse than natural sources and meatless diets are harder to maintain health than an omnivorous diet.

You are absolutely right to approach any vague information with skepticism, especially when “they” are behind it, because that tends to be code for Jews, reptilians, reptilian Jews, the shadow government, Soros, Soros the reptilian Jew, etc.

If I can’t call bullshit(flat earth, moon landing hoax, etc.), just get out of the conversation by saying that “I will have to look into that” or something to that effect and changing topics.

The Cholesterol thing is mostly true though.

Saturated fats aren’t a problem for most people, trans fats are a problem. Saturated fats are what you get with things like meat, trans fats are what you get with processed foods and vegetable oils.

In the early 1900s a Dr. Stefansson MD lived with the Inuit for 6 months. He was used to the diet meta of the times which dictated a vegetable heavy diet was necessary for health, the Inuit don’t have vegetables, they eat fish and fatty meat exclusively. He saw the Inuit as a healthy people and his own health improved during his time with them. He returned to the US and tried to spread his experience, he was dismissed because of racism towards the Inuit. They said that the diet and health of the Inuit has no relevance to the white man because the Inuit are primatives that have no culture or civilization.

He later did a study on himself and another man where they ate nothing but meat and had regular tests done. They were in perfect health, except when they ate too much lean meat and going back to fatty meats corrected the issue. Doctors, unwilling to find out what they knew was wrong, disregarded the study.

In the 50s, as a result of Eisenhower’s heart attack, a study was done of diets in 22 countries and their rates of heart disease. Of those 22 countries, 6 of them were chosen to be the basis of the argument that saturated fats are bad because they showed a direct link between a diet higher in saturated fats and a higher rate of heart disease. When you look at all 22 countries, no such correlation can be drawn. That study was reported on heavily and saturated fats were now the cause of heart attacks.

Later on in the 70s the government got involved with nutrition and diet, in order to address the growing heart disease, and did what government does best and they fucked it up with a commission that was made up of politicians. They spent 10 years wanting to say that fats were bad because there was fatty deposits in patients with heart disease, so fat must be the problem. Their entire argument was that the cholesterol observed in hearts and arteries was a result of eating fatty foods. There was no evidence, only an unsupported hypothesis based on logic about as bulletproof as saying that meat makes maggots because you find maggots on meat. They pointed to the 1950s study as supporting evidence, they remember when it broke as news and held onto it religiously. Doctors at the time disagreed and wanted more studies done before saying that fatty foods were the problem. No evidence from those studies supported removing meat, nuts, cheese, and other fatty foods from your diet improved one’s health. At the end of it, the commission declared that some fatty foods is ok but grains, fruits, and vegetables should be most of your diet.

The whole fat is bad argument comes from that dietary and nutrition commission. It was also the basis for the food pyramid, which has no foundation in nutritional science.

Epidemiological studies are an inflammatory aspect of the cholesterol issue. They are poorly conducted studies that show vague associations and then the media pulls small associations from and blow it up to say things like egg yolks cause a greater risk of hearth attack when the data they got didn’t say that.

Tl;Dr: Eating lots of meat isn’t a problem for cholesterol, you only think that because of decades of bad science.

So your friend isn’t a conspiracy theorist, they just couldn’t or wouldn’t tell you all of that and what I wrote is like 10% of the whole story.

We can do this, the problem is interface.

Right now, there is the possibility to have AI create exactly what you imagine, if you can convey what it is you want and have the processing power available to generate the output.

Without a psychic magic wish type interface, we fall short of being able to say “Do the thing” and get what we want. It takes a novel worth of outline to create a worthwhile output that meets expectations.

That being said, I would probably create a false reality to escape into in order to cope with the realities of a meaningless and pointless existence that is wrought from the apathy inherent to prolonged misery from existential dread and the general state of things.

Did you assume the sand as having no velocity relative to the object going C?

Local grocery stores. There are mom and pop type ones in some places, but most are going to be chains these days. In a nearby town was a single location family owned grocery store that was very popular despite being just down the road from a major regional chain, it failed because the real estate market and shopping trends in COVID made it impossible for them to stay open; it is now a very busy Whole Foods. So small family owned grocery stores are dying.

The thing is that shopping entirely local is very hard to do and even harder to do if money is a concern. You have to make compromises like driving twice as far or spending twice as much.

Those boutique stores are often failing because they can’t compete unless the town is a tourist spot or there is a wealthy enough population for bored housewives to have their operating costs subsidized.

If you really want to go local, meaning locally produced products, then you will have to do your shopping online or contact the company to see if their products are in any stores.

You need to sort yourself out. First of all you need to find out if you even want to be with guys, girls, or which ever fits your mood. Try exploring your sexuality and find out what you want. You will do yourself no good wasting time with boys making you unfulfilled that could have been better spent smashing gashes with lasses that make you happier.

Ex-friend sounds like he won’t actually be a good boyfriend because of how much he shit talks others, tries to emotionally manipulate you, and doesn’t know how to recognize and “see” you.

Learn to be happy by yourself or you will never know how to be happy with someone else.

That is not domesticated. It has dual passive income, no housing costs, and a source of free meals that is more convenient than eating said source of meals. That thing will maul somebody if the arrangement is no longer convenient and aligned with it’s interests.

Mountain Lion, for home defense. Hard to act tough when your buddy just got dragged up to the balcony by their broken neck and stairs weren’t involved in getting him there.

I thought she might have mistaken me for a bear and got spooked by my grunting outside her tent. I was just trying to see through the ridge vents to see what book she was reading so I had something to talk about and break the ice.

IDK. She seems to want to see you again in front of a judge, just like a civil union. Maybe she just wants a surprise marriage. Makes sense because you go to all the same places, use the same toothbrush, and sometimes share a bedroom.

The pepper spray and screaming usually are a good hint that they may not be interested.

It’s is so hard to meet someone while backpacking on a Friday night.

It would be profitable, but then you need to have allocate the manpower, repurpose or aquire property to house them, get food for them, and implement the infrastructure to transport them. Then they would also probably have to do some networking to even establish a buyer who is more specialized in an international scale, just because they are killers doesn’t mean they know child traffickers.

Death is probably preferable to enslavement; they would be physically, sexually, and mentally abused.

Oh, there would be a lot of nonsense as chaff, but that isn’t what would get me killed.

Me, assuming I have unlimited power to do as I please. I would be assassinated inside of a month, but it would be a wild month. The only president with more executive orders than me would be the person who comes after and undoes all the shit I did.

Not my monkeys, not my circus.

I expect the people who made threats to be banned for ToS violations and federal investigations on them.

Water alone won’t help much, using steam can. Putting a damp towel down and using an iron over the problem areas can sometimes affect the dents a variable amount.

Depending on how good the varnish is, that will determine how well it works.

There is zero chance anyone close to 18 would ever be elected to a federal position. Anyone over 25 knows how stupid they were at 18 and would apply that understanding to the 18 year old.

I love the idea of a Sergeant at Arms giving a field sobriety test to a senator. I would like to see them fined an amount equal to a month’s wages if they are drunk. The rest of what you said is also good.
