If anything, certain illegal substances, like hallucinogens, have opened my eyes and gotten me out of depression, by making me see what's important in life. Without it, I might have committed suicide, or at least be still stuck (or eve

No it's not. It's the opposite of a carcinogen. It becomes carcinogenic because of the food, grass-fed meat has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore helps preventing cancer. Vegetables and leafy greens are not the holy grai

Be aware that this doesn't count for all meat. Grass-fed red meat is actually healthy, partly because it contains way more Omega-3 compared to Omega-6 and seems to prevent cancer. See also here: http://www.anh-usa.org/y

Industrial farms feed their animals soy and corn, which is stored and therefore contains molds, including Ochratoxin A. 'Uncured' bacon is usually treated with celery salt and a bacteria culture. The bacteria transform the nitrate

/me thinks of English breakfast. Sausage and bacon. Combined with ham sandwiches for lunch, and some 200g piece of processed meat with dinner. Plus pesticide-laden, nutrition-lacking supermarket veggies and, deep fried (>180C) crisp

If you lose weight but end up with diabetes, or a serious vitamin deficiency, would you still think this research is legit? Eating only one type of food for weeks will almost always result in losing weight, because it would disrupt the gut

This. I (loosely) follow bulletproof/keto diet and never have to watch how much I eat, without gaining weight. I just eat until I'm full, and if I have some munchies later in the evening, as long as I don't snack anything ric

Every way of dealing with something has its flaws, the point is to fix them. The patent system is flawed in its foundation, i.e. claiming a discovery for yourself and keeping this technology away from the rest of humanity. For the rest, I w

Just in case hell doesn't exist, it would only be right that the guy will contract a painful and slowly degenerating disease that has no cure.

Innovation happens because people are curious and want to make their (or other's) lives easier, this has nothing to do with patents, or if it's private or government run. Want to see real innovation? See for example the home made

by mvanvoorden 11y ago
Exactly. I don't understand why everybody's so afraid that without patents no medicine would be made anymore. On the contrary, it would force companies to work together and share the R&D, and would prevent the current ineffici

Why would you even tip a taxi driver who needs to be persuaded to take you and needs your (Google maps) directions?

It worked, thanks!

Well, I cannot compile the current version, nor install the deb. Using latest Linux Mint. It took some effort getting all the dependencies right, and it wasn't clear that I had to install the httpseverywhere plugin also provided on you

I don't know how or why, but on my workstation at my job, Pidgin still always connects with Facebook, and I still use it every day to chat with people. But at home, on my own laptop, I get an error 500. I don't get how it's p

This is probably because they haven't found a way yet to put a stamp on a digital form ;)

I never read any of his works, but from the parts that I've read, I think we could've been good friends. As he used to visit my home town every once in a while, I could've actually met him if I would've been born a centu

Again, because you don't seem to read what I'm typing: Not all modern work, just all the work that has directly or indirectly to do with money and jobs that come forth out of that (like the cleaning crew or receptionist of an insu

You seem to assume that I would be for 'back to basics', without machines and stuff, like the Amish, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm just taking money out of the equation, which means there will still be a lot l

We're not meant to do jobs, this is just some modern made up concept to keep people busy so they don't see they are actually analogous to cattle. So that you don't care about the virtual problems you solve for virtual company

That doesn't work. Staying alive for others while you don't want to live only makes matters worse. Live because you want to, not because of what other people want.

If it all doesn't matter anymore anyway, then you got nothing to lose. Find (psychedelic) shrooms somewhere, eat a portion, and reconsider your choice after your trip. It saved my life.

Just keep it up for a few weeks and it becomes a habit. It's now the first thing I do every morning. Protip: Make (or find and print) a calendar and hang it in a visible spot. Put an X every day you do the exercises, and then it's

The ladder works pretty well, it starts out so easy that it's almost boring but gets quite some bite when you progress. I do the 5BX myself though (where the ladder is based on), as I mentioned in an earlier comment :)

Like Keto/Paleo/Bulletproof? This definitely works! I used to drink coffee with grass-fed butter every morning when I woke up and also took a few other things of Bulletproof diet to heart and lost over 30 kilo's in two years
