I'd gladly set fire to parents to demonstrate to them what hell is like.

Why do parents assume kids want to be bought into todays toxic world?

Thing is it wouldnt be fair to single my parents out, the unkillable ideas that govern, like govt, law, medicine, religion and royalty also deserve a demonstration!

Its interesting living in a house where 2 of the 3 males have died. Is it an Omen? Is it an example of getting the 3rd degree? Time will tell....

darkclouds··on Europe’s new digital law will change the internet
VLOPS come across as sanctioning US tech firms by the back door. There are always economic reasons at play, and the EU is trying to reign in the Intelligence advantage of the US, which ironically is hindered by the multitude of languages spoken in the EU.

Some many angles of this law could be discussed, I wonder if other commentators are displaying their bias.

darkclouds··on Ask HN: Habits you can change to more easily lose weight
I read a study once which suggested that exercising immediately after wake up before eating or drinking anything other than water (if needed) was the equivalent to 1.5times the exercise after eating or drinking.

Perhaps this is why military basic training the world over involves running around before breakfast. You can do a 30min run before breakfast or a 1hr 30min run after breakfast. How do you spend your time wisely? Have you looked into the hormones that wake us up? Are they good for body building?

Chemistry is very useful, there are 2 enzymes and hydrochloric acid in your stomach, what uncoordinated chemical reactions will take place in that part of the body, when you eat or drink things and the chemical compounds come into contact with each other?

I personally avoid ingesting any chemicals as sulphates because they react with hydrochloric acid and become sulfuric acid, and I dont need to be oh so slightly dissolving my tissues and membranes in the body even though it might be a good persistent low level wormer and parasite treatment, but you will find a good many health supplements using them, a quantifiable example of the blind leading the blind perhaps?

Where people might say avoid sugars, I'd say look into manganese and chromium and see what effect it has on the body. For example, there is a postulation that chromium potentiates insulin signalling. Chromium picolate being taken in amounts upto 2.5grams a day is used by some for weight loss, and whilst there might be some truth about chromium's involvement in energy metabolism, is picolate the best compound form for chromium, when you can get it in other salt forms and compounds like chromium histidine or chromium nicotinate? I then feel like capitalism is failing us when searching for these compounds and I'm still searching...

Have you see what a ketogenic diet does to your mineral reserves in the body? Did you know a high fat diet causes more manganese to be pooped. Diet induced obesity is a real medical term. Does the brain become diabetic long before the body shows any symptoms?

So my best tip is, Do Your Own Research (DYOR). You'll find anecdotes on places like reddit, and other health chat forums, these can give you investigative leads. Try to find studies to back them up.

The drug companies also have a vested interest in understanding the human body, they need to understand and be able to quantify the different pathways in the body, whilst being mindful of regional dietary differences, in order to make sure their man made compounds can alter a chemical process in our bodies. So trying to learn the chemical pathways, in the body is something worth doing. These man made compounds can be very strong mind, resistant to a "brute force" mega dose of some supplement. SSRI's are a good example of jamming open a receptor whilst not addressing the underlying cause, which will be dietary. And some chemicals will switch genes on, and switch others off, and there is plenty of redundancy in the body to compensate for dietary shortages and excesses. Decyphering ourselves is perhaps the ultimate chemobiological puzzle on this planet which perhaps explains why the cancer industry keeps on growing!

Universities also publish studies which can be useful as do some hospitals that write up a brief report on individuals typically presenting to A&E/ER rooms after the ingestion of some chemical in one off's or from the repeated over consumption of something like chromium picolate.

Survival of the fittest can take many different paths.

TL;DR: get a private prescription for testogel and watch the fat drop off and the lean muscle mass increase! Your mental health will improve enormously and you might even start engaging in risk taking teenage like activities again which the state does not like. Being a shareholder in epilation/depilation products are not mandatory either ;-)

darkclouds··on A womb must not become a spare part for sale
Whilst this is an ethical debate, science isnt ethical, so when the lab grown meats hit the supermarkets, the knowledge obtained will help women and other people needing an organ, take a step closer to have their own lab grown womb which can then be transplanted without the need for the immune system suppression because its grown with the same dna.
darkclouds··on Retailers say thefts are at crisis level. The numbers say otherwise
I think the authorities are trying to push all commerce on to the internet.

One of the reasons for this is, is reprovisioned retail units become homes of sorts, which is useful when there is a global housing shortage.

Add in trends like work from home and how covid forced many people to work from home, and you can see the trend for people spreading out beyond their borders to 3rd world country's and cheaper regions in the world to live as long as there internet access and servicing from couriers.

Something that taxation could never achieve.

So whilst these young people robbing shops, can still do this, the number of retail units shutting down still increases. Look at some of these fast food outlets operating out of industrial units and using the internet apps like Uber Eats and Just Eat to get their take away delivered. No need to have a shop front any more!

Nearly all low end shops will be going like this, its just a question of time.

The only high street stores which will remain will be high end one's that can allow people in, if they like the look of them like you see at night clubs.

So these retailers are the one's slow to change their operating model. 100 years ago, shops used to be counter service, not self service like it is now, but there were less products to choose from back then, unlike a supermarket which can have anything from 20,000 to 100,000 different products on the shelf. Prices will have to go for counter services, or increased shop floor levels, if the business doesnt transition to the online sales outlet model.

This is why inflation is running high. Online selling has not been adopted by everyone yet.

darkclouds··on Naked Mole Rat’s Longevity Gene Gives Mice a Longer Life
I dont think you will whilst inflammation is seen as something bad. If you look at what causes inflammation, like zinc, inflammation not only destroys the pathogen, but also destroys surrounding host "healthy" tissue.

Now if elevated levels of zinc cause this inflammation, the new tissue that replaces the destroyed host healthy tissue will have elevated levels of zinc in the cells compared to the previously destroyed "healthy" tissue.

Ergo, is this the body's way of using minerals to increase the anti bacterial nature of the cells in that part of the body, and why all inflammation should not be seen as a default bad thing?

Look at the quality of food you can afford and not afford. Cheaper foods tend to be fattier geared up for manual workers. You'll have a shorter lifespan.

Tap water is just pus, then you have the high levels of chemicals in them. The best water you can drink is deionised water, the stuff used for vehicle batteries and steam irons, and then add in the best chemicals to top up your mineral content.

Chlorides are better than other forms like gluconate or sulphates which become sulfuric acid when exposed to the hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices, which then destroys tissues in the body oh so slowly.

Iron chloride for example generates the least amount of reactive oxygen species, and is also the most labile, able to switch between state more easily than other iron supplements. Its the best form of iron you can get, show me a supplement that uses it!

Chlorides also work better in the most acidic parts of the body.

I really do question the medical experts, legislators and food industry.

So if you know what chemicals will do what in the body, through the diet, you can alter the personality's and health of the population. One way to do that is through food legislation. Global manufacturers can also play their part as well.

darkclouds··on Which presidential candidates get the most press?
I've been able to correctly choose the US president 1 year out based on BBC coverage at the time. That subliminal programming of hearts and minds takes time. US journalists are the same, they carryout that subliminal programming on the US population. Its so orchestrated, I really dont know why I watch the news.

If Trump wants to claim he had the election stolen, then look at media reporting bias of candidates in the run up to the election.

I'll go on the record here and now and say, the Labour party will be winning the next UK general election. The british press are already giving more labour party candidates air time, to get their faces known, so this bunch of unknowns wont come as a shock to the public the day after the election.

I've been accused of groping a woman at staff party when I hadnt. Other colleagues knew my married male manager was having an affair with this single mum and was at it in a room with all the coats. I was asked to go get a coat by a colleague that knew what was going on and I walked in on them so walked straight back out.

Monday morning to save face, she accused me of groping her and spread it around the company. I left shortly after that incident, it became untenable to stay on.

There was much more manganese on the land back then, and manganese will do wonderful things to the body. Some soil core samples suggest as much as 17% in places. Today our best environmental exposure is not from vegetables, but bathing/surfing in coastal waters where much of it has ended up, when it would be broken down by bacteria and/or rained off the land.

> The idea that "you can breathe this way and get this effect"

You are not exercising when meditating, ergo your CO2 levels will drop.

I'd love to put a top meditator in a hyperbaric chamber and change the gas levels to something like CO2 @ 600ppm and then see how relaxed they are, unless they have high levels of myoglobin.

The higher the CO2 levels the more stimulated the body becomes. Its why some athlete's take a heaped teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate for asoda boost that has a stimulating effect on the body. Sodium causes the release of calcium from the bones which is stimulating, alters the metal profile in the blood, and the bicarbonate is double the CO2 which also stimulates the body and immune system. People who have trouble breathing used to be told to breath into a paper bag, as this increased the CO2 they rebreathed, which was useful when coal use was high.

So yes meditating can be relaxing, mainly because they are increasing oxygen levels in the body which is less stimulating than CO2 levels from running around.

The vagus nerve runs all the way down to the rectum in many animals, so be careful about stimulating it. One might have to suddenly evacuate in more ways than one, and this article seems like someone's idea of a joke, on the unprepared.
