I was a bit flat there - I think it's my own personal sensitivity coming out! Also I am heavily against all the stupid armchair psychology being weaponised online (and on these forums) I think the overall point made IS clear in that both are pretty much pathologies - to me anyway. Looksmaxxing screams "method of emotional regulation by exerting rigid, outside/exterior control of reality" which is the same core issue to eating disorders.

I wouldn't equate something like looksmaxxing to anorexia. No offence, but it's an ignorant take. Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness. I've had a lot of close personal experience with women who have suffered from it (family members and friends).

Shits gonna' fuck - Or - Shit better fuck @UnbornTao I know you are about this

@Leo Gura He is a tadpole, so he probably has no idea what he wants

Bryan's a man. A man. With a plan: " My plan to cure autoimmune gastritis To our knowledge, no one has ever done this to try and cure an autoimmune disease. Context: In May, I got diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG). We found it by taking a tissue biopsy of my stomach. My immune cells are confused, causing my stomach to eat itself. AIG stops your body from absorbing nutrients like iron and B12, and can eventually lead to cancer. It likely started decades ago when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when 21 years old. The thyroid and stomach are closely linked in your immune system. I feel fortunate that I've been taking such good care of my body for the past five years as my condition would otherwise be much more severe. Millions of people are affected by this disease and are undiagnosed. Standard of care tells you that you can’t do anything about it. That’s old fashioned. Here is how we are going to try and cure it: Step 0: find and diagnose the disease ✅ AIG is rarely caught early because symptoms are subtle. Early warnings are low iron and B12, but when hemoglobin and hematocrit look normal, doctors routinely miss it because there are no obvious signs of anemia. A standard colonoscopy won't find it either, because it only checks the lower digestive tract, not the stomach. It was only through a highly targeted stomach biopsy that we found it. Even biopsies can miss it if they don't sample the exact right spots. Most people with AIG go undiagnosed. Step 1: Map my immune system ✅ Last Thursday, I had a blood draw to isolate and decode 1 million of my immune cells. Think of your immune cells as trillions of soldiers. Each carries a unique key designed to unlock and destroy a specific threat, like a virus or bacteria. A standard blood test allows you to see how many soldiers you have, but not their keys. Sequencing one million individual immune cells allows us to read the exact pattern of the teeth on every single key. This is important for my autoimmune gastritis (AIG) because a specific platoon of rogue soldiers has developed keys that unlock an attack on my stomach lining. Right now, we don’t know who they are. This test will inform us of which soldiers have gone rogue and are attacking me from within. Once we know the soldier and key, we know what therapy path to pursue to shut them down. Step 2: Catch the rogue soldiers I will be getting a second biopsy from my stomach because we need to collect live tissue. We are currently planning out the logistics of getting the sample from my stomach to the lab. We need these live cells because the initial blood tests showed the antibodies, which prove that an attack is happening, but doesn’t show us the actual rogue soldier doing the damage which is a T-cell. The live sample will allow us to match the immune system mapping we did to the live T-cells. Step 3: Build an early warning system To keep an eye on the disease as we work towards a therapy, we’re building an early warning system. I'll have my blood drawn every two weeks and we’ll pair that information with wearable data to look for flare ups. This is important because the attack happens without producing symptoms that I can easily feel. Step 4: Create a “Bryan in a dish” testing model, a miniature of my immune system At the same time, we are taking a massive sample of my immune cells and deep freezing them (cryopreservation) for two reasons: a) we’ll create a living lab: using these cells to replicate my immune environment in a lab dish. This allows us to test experimental drugs and therapies on my actual live cells before putting them into my body. b) it creates a back up plan for me by preserving the raw cellular material needed for targeted rejuvenation therapies in the future. Step 5: Build precision guided therapies to end the attack Once we know who the rogue soldiers are, we will engineer a therapy designed uniquely for them. The trick is only turning off the rogue soldiers while leaving all the other healthy ones functioning as they are. For safety checks, we’ll do two test runs: we’ll run the therapy through a computer model that has my biology to evaluate how my molecules interact. We will take my actual cells that we froze in Step 4 and watch them interact for real. If both are successful, we’ll pursue one of four therapies: a) fix the mistake my cells are making, restoring my immune system's natural off switches b) teach the rogue cells to tolerate my stomach instead of attacking it c) design smart molecules that physically plug into the rogue cells and turn them off d) build soldiers who will track down and eliminate the rogue soldiers causing the damage "

From what I have seen it appears like a mix of clout chasers / full blown rejections (ick mode). But Clav consistently reports he doesn't even want women "too much effort for ROI". He even when so far as to say he doesn't even get them off because ROI not worth This is what is popular these days... I don't even feel like a women compared to the girls he attracts. They are like a different species to me.

Have you read the books? There's much more than just communication at issue. Pauls destiny comes between them in a HUGE way. Chani also has trouble emotionally with Pauls political marriage to Irulun (which is just for political legitimacy). Sometimes communication cannot reconcile emotional hurt - the books go into this a lot. Also there is some shit Princess Irulun does that is pretty damning toward Chani (and by extension Paul's) happiness. The movies frame it differently - but part 3 should illustrate more behind the issues between them. tl;dr there are deeper issues that mean Paul is not able to be responsible for Chani's happiness. Don't want to spoil it (I've read the novels and seen the film/s) Dune Prophesy was... dissapointing.

Blaming others can sometimes be a fantastical way to avoid facing ones own responsibility. Need to adopt some critical thinking here - don't make these huge leaps in logic without considering "What if...?"

Consistency has always been my jam.

FUAAARK I don't have the chops for that. Not sure how well construction management would translate to directing a movie. But I can light a fire up someone's arse and get shit done. My whole job is keeping the ship sailing for building projects.

He was a huge hardmaxxer - I think that portion of the movement may die. Then the rest will unravel. As we age, if we learn the lessons of life and gain wisdom, we realise how foolish cementing attachment to appearance and transient material shit really is. I predict most people will simply... grow up

Do you think being a moderator means we're not allowed to express our personal critiques?

@NewKidOnTheBlock AI being a bubble has nothing to do with it going anywhere - I legit think it's here to stay. Humans aren't able to predict shit in general 😃

Tekken Tag rounds up in here - fuck I used to love watching that juicy health bar deplete

Are you keeping across this, or just a skim over in general?

I'm coming across weird shit like he was injecting gold? Can't find a solid source. Maybe he was into the Annunaki stuff popularized by Zecharia Sitchin - that crazy theory is all about gold and it's miraculous abilities.

@Leo Gura Yo same. But his audience laps it up without that sort of critical thinking applied.

Hmmm yes - and do we think the doubt is about the limits of measurement...ignorance of the measurement method... or twisty twisty data 'interpretation' to feed a narrative of some sort...

CT Scans are one of those diagnostics that you wouldn't go get willy-nilly. I would consider how necessary a scan like that is prior to pumping myself full of radiation. There's a trade-off. That brain dude, what's his name? Daniel Amen? Heavily advocates for his 'SPECT' scans to look at 'brain health', without really acknowledging the radiation exposure. Overall diagnostics need to be looked at critically, as the risk of exposure (in the case of radiation) needs to be weighted against the potential benefit of the procedure. Same shit with meds etc. Is the cost of radiation exposure worth the potential information you may obtain regarding your ear drum? What are the chances there are inconclusive results etc?

He 100% claimed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/blueprint_/comments/1tag1j9/i_have_no_microplastics_in_my_balls/ That is his real reddit account. I don't think he understands "below the level of detection" =/= zero. Or, he does. And it is his marketing narrative being used to twist/hypersensationalize shit, as per his usual MO.

At your service, my queen

@NewKidOnTheBlock The volume of people I interact with having issues with their dogs are a result of a lot of what you illustrate - wrong breed for the circumstances. Fucking Border Collies or Kelpies in small apartments getting walked once a day for 30 minutes and left alone the rest of the time? I mean what the fuck? Some people malfunction in general. I've owned working breeds and they need to be given tasks. Their training is tailored. The female we had would literally sit and stare at you, waiting be be assigned a task... loved that dog Some dogs do have rage and psychological issues. And they can be traumatised, ending up reactive. You speak sense many just... don't have.
