  • ML is a bunch of edgelords that crave licking boot.

    From the public comments indexed in search results, the account seems politically left-wing and fairly combative in tone. For example, in one discussion about Chinese internet censorship, the user argued that some people “absolutely … do need someone controlling the information they consume” and also commented that propaganda can still be factually correct.

    Fucking tankies…
















  • My big thing was cook your vegetables and limit fruit intake, especially because he prizes over ripe and high fructose fruit.

    He’d basically would leave fruit out to rot, covered in fruit flies, and then he would still eat that shit. I got him to put that shit in a bowl and cover it with a towel.

    He would complain though. The flies need to eat, too.

    So he would throw compostable material around his yard… Which arrested pests, naturally. Then there was the rats in the walls and ceilings… But the rent was cheap!



  • He seemed to like fruit the riper it got. His favorite bananas would be brown and mush (he called it ‘like candy, so good.’). I tried it. Tasted funky and fermented, like ethanol(and other fuesal alcohols). I think he might have been getting lowkey drunk/buzzed off overly ripe fermented fruit, which would definitely provoke some mad squirts.

    But then again this guy didn’t believe in germ theory. I showed him microscopic media of bacteria and viruses and fungi, even white blood cells doing what they do best (seek and destroy invaders!) He claimed it was all fake news/CGI/AI… We even made kombucha (I taught him how.) Which he enjoyed… Which I guess it’s just magic to him and not basic fermentation…


  • Cardiometabolic function isn’t the same as metabolic syndrome. Cardiometabolic function would be like a spectrum or perhaps a map. Metabolic syndrome would be the section of spectrum(say red in the rainbow) or area on the map (like a swamp) that designates the “danger zone.”

    Here the term “optimal” is used and that’s around 7 percent as having optimal cardiometabolic function. That doesn’t instantly mean 93 percent are impaired. The other classes are **intermediate, which is half of people, ** and lastly poor which was ~44 percent.

    Fat can be oxidized for ATP via β-oxidation (look up FAO or catabolism, or see above links.) Fat → fatty acids → β-oxidation → acetyl-CoA + electron carriers → electron transport chain → ATP.

    Example: Palmitic acid, a 16-carbon fatty acid, undergoes 7 rounds of β-oxidation producing 8 acetyl-CoA total. After everything runs through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain, you end up with roughly 106 ATP. Which is a huge amount compared with glucose(1 glucose is about 30 ATP.)


  • You aren’t making much sense though. It’s like if you took endocrine physiology and smashed it into a story about a single villain.

    Weight gain is typically merely about CICO, barring rare genetic disorders. With an unimpaired metabolism, if you eat excess calories you will gain weight. No hormonal imbalance necessary. This is basic energy expenditure(Calories Out) to calories consumed(Calories In, thus CICO.)

    Actual metabolic syndrome afflicts 30-40 percent of Americans. Not anywhere near 96 percent. Some people are just fat and diet and exercise will absolutely work metabolically to control their weight. Some people lack of willpower. Gastric bypass again proves that with caloric reduction their metabolism, in most cases, is fully capable of sustaining weight loss.

    Cancer metabolism is also flexible. It does not exclusively depend on glucose and is not “starved” by removing carbs. Fats and amino acids are fair game for many cancers. Gluconeogenesis alone creates sufficient glucose to feed cancer.

    4x is quite an exaggeration…
