Well… I’m 4 drinks into this successful Friday.

Let’s skip meat. To each their own. Or sometimes, I like to say, to reach their round.

4 out of 5 blue groups consume alcohol regularly. Again, not good or bad, just is. Most do it in moderation, and that’s seemingly good or okay. These people are regularly living to 100+ years old!

I enjoy facetiousness. I enjoy you. I’m quite facetious myself.

Yes! Moderate is good. That’s the whole point. Moderation. Without moderation… Shit happens. Shit faced. Shit in the pants (literal). Shitting on people (hopefully just figuratively.) Which is not good. Unless you’re into that? Heh.

You can never take a single study as gospel. There are countless studies in the literature and we obviously will have some confirmation bias. I think the ultimate goal is figuring out what works for you/me. People have different genotypes. Some people do really well on high carb low fat while others do great on high fat low carb. But we all need protein… I think we can all agree on that.

I’m wishing you the best. Trust yourself. Be authentic. It’s appreciated.

All right I’ve had a couple drinks.

Your first sentence seems completely irrelevant. What is Spanish people eating whatever have to do with anything it’s processed red meat okay so … what?

Moving on to your next sentence. I never claimed there’s any benefit to alcohol consumption besides … you know … getting the buzz, socialization, maybe isolation though. Alcoholics are not a homogeneous group.

To thy own self be true? That’s in regards to your third sentence and also the third paragraph apparently.

Yeah everything in moderation, buddy. Which then you go into a 6000 calorie diet which is about three times moderation… As far as stroke risk I couldn’t tell you…

I sincerely believe you don’t give a single fuck about the data.

Ngl. Reading that kind of made my brain hurt.

Please stop…

Alcohol is a neurodepressant. It is not necessarily a toxin, as the dose makes the difference.

By your standard, you can pretty much call anything a neurotoxin, given enough quantity.

And I don’t disagree with you, necessarily, except on the amount part. Wet brain is definitely a thing. And alcohol abuse will definitely wreck your brain, your liver, and most of your organs and even your entire body. And it won’t stop there! It may ruin your relationships and leave you lonely and your only friend will be the bottle.

But the amazing thing is most people who drink (in moderation) don’t suffer all those things.

It’s kind of like we all need to eat. Some people just eat way too fucking much.

But nobody needs to drink alcohol. Is not a necessity by any means. It’s merely elective and the amount of which it is detrimental is variable proportional to the consumption of it.

Ngl. That windows 2000 look it’s nostalgic AF.

This seems like an argument from ignorance as detection of exoplanets is very difficult compared to detection of stars (whether binary, the majority, or not.)

The way we do detect exoplanets would probably be hindered by binary star systems. Call it glare from the second sun? Masking the dips in brightness.

But hey maybe NGT will show up and give me a lecture.

So it’s reached genocidal levels?!

You might enjoy the film Two Days. It has Paul Rudd. Who doesn’t love that guy?

There’s probably nothing wrong with unprocessed red meat. Studies show cheese is good for health over and over again. Bread used to be a super food and you can still get good bread but most of it is cake-like these days. Food for Life makes wonderful bread, sprouted grains and according to Scripture, yum!

A little alcohol never hurt anyone. Moderation and all that jazz. Be merry, don’t fall over.

The biggest thing is eating plant-forward. Prioritizing 9-12 servings of fresh vegetables and fresh fruits(no more than 4-5 servings of fruit, especially high sugar fruits). Getting some nice clean fish routinely (2x a week or more), especially fatty fish high in omega-3 is excellent.

Plants contain many fat soluble vitamins, so olive oil or even butter or other healthy fats are a necessity. But again, moderation is key.

Anyone can do this.

I found Voyager on f-droid. No ads. :)

So Boost, eh. I haven’t really looked into lemmy apps, just been using it in FF. Those options look much better than what the website offers.

Thanks counterfactual!

Hey man I would totally agree with you, if it was 20-30 years ago and search engines actually gave relevant results instead of commercial SEO garbage. Which in my opinion is a hell of a lot worse than the worst AI slop…

I just prefer it to search engines these days. Chatgpt will give you good basic answers with direct links to citations.

Most search engines just produce endless commercial spam. I can instruct chatgpt to basically be Google scholar on steroids and get highly relevant academic results, which I then go read. “Based on highly regarded scientific literature like nature, please find me links regarding …” Works great! In you need, “no summaries, no conjecture. I don’t want your thoughts about this. I just want highly cited links/literature. Please act like a good search engine chat GPT.” And it generally does pretty great, minimizing me having to wade through shit-tons of SEO garbage.

I’m not having much discussion with it, except for fun/novelty.

I’m finding it difficult to curate my feed. Blocking subs is tedious. Having to go into the settings and manually type each out. Is there an easier way? Or like on bsky where I can block keywords? Which is pretty great. I just don’t really care for the x/twitter/bsky/mastodon style (basically like shuffled diary entries, just a lot of redundant content and exhausting reposts). I like the digg/Reddit style, like lemmy, with subs, comment sections and articles… I’ve actually been using digg somewhat. The latest redesign isn’t bad.

I much rather discuss science and tech and my other interests rather than politics.

Thanks for the warm welcome counterfactual.

Works fine here.

1. Chronology is irrelevant.
2. That’s mostly just polemic invective
3. That’s a bad analogy because they share only a word, cake, and no actual substance (unlike various forms of Zionism which do share substantive ideological currents)

Yeah I got an award you 0 points here.

It’s my first account here. Thanks for the warm welcome?

Oh noes. The herp is derpin again.

They were socialists… Lol
