sauerkraut and yogurt/kefir are supposed to be good for gut microbiome

I am not totally anti p4p. There's pros and cons to being married. Marriage = a lot of compromises. You may not be able to live in the place you want to live because you may need to move where your wife wants to live. So I won't pass judgment on the p4p crowd. Cycling is good. Apart from I don't like the risk of being hit by a bus.

I don't even know that means. Sorry, I don't speak Norwegian.

hahaha! i'm too tired to debate now. but to be continued , my friend

I treid carnivore. I did lose all my excess weight, but I had constipation issues. Not enough fiber? Not enough magnesium? Started eating fruit (for fiber and magnesium, potassium, etc...), but gained too much weight. Not cutting out most fruit, except for very low carb fruit -- ie avocados, coconut, blackberries, raspberries, maybe grapefruit. I'm experimenting. Not 100% sure I know what I'm doing. But I don't trust most doctors to tell me what to eat.

No, I will not give health advice because there is too much conflicting information out there. But it doesn't mean your doctor knows either. Right now, I'm eating a lot of eggs, but I will not advise anyone else to do the same because I'm not sure if there's a downside to it.

Agree 100%. People need to spend more time outdoors. Houses can become prisons. And Thailand has great weather.

He's in a rush to get on the train so he can get back to his miserable life without delays. The most miserable people always seem to be the ones in the biggest rush.

It's the opposite. The information online has surpassed information that most doctors possess, which is more limited and usually more outdated. Keep in mind some doctors were trained 30 years ago and maybe never keep up with anything and maybe are too busy working 80 hours a week to update their knowledge. And also keep in mind that doctors are not trained on nutrition, but pharmaceutical intervention.

Gamma still enjoys music. He's no spring chicken. Take a page out of gamma's book, man.

I wonder if it is related to age ... could be I guess. I hope it never happens to me.

The entire election is a comedy skit.

there must be a psychological disorder for that. go get yourself checked.

1 egg is not enough. Its only 6 grams of protein. A healthy diet is very expensive.

It's a mystery to me We have a greed To which we have agreed You think you have to want more than you need Until you have it all you won't be free I think I need to find a bigger place 'Cos when you have more than you think You need more space

I am not a big fan of crass materialism ie people buying things to show that they are wealthier than others. I have a small handmade laptop stand from India. The wood is beautiful. It's unpretentious. And it supported a small handicraft person in India. Rolex watch = crass materialism. I would never buy sth like that.

All Buddhist monks dress the same. Are you suggesting that everyone on the planet should wear the same orange robe? Or do you appreciate that there is diversity in clothing and do you appreciate it when you see a woman who is clothed beautifully? Beauty is one of the things that makes the world less miserable. Imagine everyone had ugly clothes on all the time. Human beings, for one thing, are attracted to beauty. We are tactile creatures with 5 senses, touch and smell and sight. If everything smelled bad, that would suck. If everything was ugly, that would suck. And clothing is one example. And beauty is one reason why material possessions are not bull<deleted>.

Speak for yourself. I was born with a cowboy hat and boots.

let us know when your liver falls out

you're grim, bob. your grim tales of pattaya remind me of edgar allen poe.

I believe your stories. Totally likely scenarios. Thanks for sharing. Seems like you're touching a nerve with people who are in denial and dont want to hear the potential negative sides of being a gigolo their entire life. Even David Lee Roth sang "nobody cares about me" in his song Just a Gigolo. So I guess no one watched the video I posted. Apparently, there were other types of arrangements that were commonly practiced before modern day marriage came along.

it's AN horror comedy hour.

Hummin, Watch this video and get back to me on your thoughts. And yes, there will be a QUIZ!

Yeah, that's a good point. It's 2 different lifestyles. Not one is better or worse than the other. Both lifestyles have pros and cons. If people on both sides are honest, they could make a long list of pros and cons of both lifestyles.
