Yeah. I didn't really understand this at all, about nonprofits. It makes sense now that there's so many sketchy nonprofits out there.
Wow. So much for freedom of speech.
This is what the ruling says:
It describes that throughout the presentation - which has a total time of 01h:14m:35s- "LÉO LINS" makes hateful, prejudiced and discriminatory comments against people belonging to various vulnerable groups, reproducing speeches and stereotypes that encourage religious persecution, the exclusion of minorities and discrimination against people with disabilities, thus inciting discrimination and prejudice based on race, ethnicity, religion or national origin, as well as on the basis of physical and mental disabilities.
Cool. Just bought tickets.
FYI - I couldn't scan the QR code on my laptop, the bottom is cut off just a little bit. I had to full screen the window in order to scan it. You may want to put it a little higher up.
I'm on a laptop, most of the day - for work, for things like stacker news, more generalized entertainment.
I'm not too bad on my phone - I don't have any of the social apps installed, and just don't spend that much time on it. And when I'm out and about, I try to make a point of NOT being on my phone, unlike almost everyone else.
Messaging apps are tricky. Right now I'm using only sms for texting. I'm not a fan of it at all, though, and so don't find it addictive. But everyone uses it to plan get-togethers, so it seems it's either - text, or don't get together with people.
I use Slim Launcher, but apparently there's other launcher apps that make it easy to just allow usage of a few apps, and limit everything else.
Here's some info if you want to learn more about the carnivore diet. If you want something really comprehensive, read the book The Big Fat Surprise (described at the bottom).
Dr Shawn Baker - book, The Carnivore Diet - a great overview, easy to read. He also has a great podcast, and a great youtube channel
Dr Ken Berry - youtube channel, very highly regarded
Dr Anthony Chaffee - has podcast Plant Free MD. He's also on youtube quite a bit, I'm not sure if he has his own channel
There's a great book on how low-carb/carnivore can heal mental health issues, called Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind by Dr Georgia Ede. It's a very well written and practical book on why excess carbohydrates can be very bad for you body and mind, and specifically some strategies (not just carnivore) to to improve both body and mind. Great book. Also Chris Palmer has book (Brain Energy) that is similar, but a little more academic and not so practical. But interviews with him are interesting as well.
If you're not interested in reading the books, or just want a sample first, all the the people I mentioned usually have some great interviews that you can listen to on youtube (or podcasts).
Movie Fat - a documentary on Youtube - Vinnie Tortorich
The Big Fat Surprise - book by Nina Teicholtz - This is a great (but not short), easy to read overview of why you shouldn't trust the current dietary guidelines. It's an outstanding book and won a lot of awards, this is what started me out, in terms of questioning standard nutritional advice. There's not a ton on the carnivore diet in particular, but lots of info on how fruits/veggies/fiber/whole grains aren't as great for you as we've been told, and also on how cholesterol is a bad endpoint for measuring cardiovascular health (because people with lower cholesterol often have shorter lifespans), and how meat, eggs, and dairy are actually very healthy for you.
I don't know...I think both intuitively and logically it makes sense that if bowel movements are trivial (i.e. our bodies are absorbing most of what we eat, instead of expelling much of it as waste), that we're best suited to a carnivore diet.
Yes, sure, it's more complicated. But this one thing feels pretty significant to me.
Also to me, what feels very important is that within 3 weeks of when I started (not even full carnivore, just far more meat and limiting grains/veggies/fruit), I felt so much peppier and continue to feel that way.
I eat no fiber because I'm eating Carnivore. And that means I eat no plant products. So that means no veggies, grains, etc.
Animal products have no fiber.
Actually that whole factor with having a MUCH lower volume of bowel movements was also a part of convincing me that carnivore was a much better way to eat.
After all - you're body is absorbing ALMOST EVERYTHING that you're eating. Whereas previously, eating lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains - most of it, in terms of volume, was expelled out again.
That's gotta mean something, right? Your body is using almost every bit of the carnivore foods. Logically, it must be better for you.
No, not at all. I'd say, honestly, about 1/4 to 1/3 the size.
from lots, daily, to very small, and once every 4 or 5 days
But I will say...MUCH more dense.
Yes, I think that's it.
Here's the hierarchy in my opinion
Absolute worst - SAD - standard american diet, lots of soda, packaged junk food, juice, sugary lattes from Starbucks, lots of crap fried in seed oil
Not as bad - Standard "healthy" diet- the way I was eating, before carnivore. Lots of whole grains, very limited junk food/sweets, lots of fruits and veggies, limited meat and when, then mostly chicken. Low fat. Mostly avoid animal products, though not vegetarian.
Best - carnivore. Or at least low carb/keto.
The Linux goal - is there a hard Oct. deadline, when you can't run Windows 10 anymore? I might have to adopt the same goal...or at least make my Windows machine my non-primary...

I've been thinking about doing some shorter digital detoxes, during the week. Like - a solid morning or afternoon/evening with no internet.
It definitely feels good to do a whole day, though. Actually I posted this in the evening - not quite a whole day.
