Its weird to explain, its "cleaner"? They probably clean their lines much better in Dublin proper and obviously at St James Gate. It is much creamier and softer too. Who knows how much the local river impacts taste too - plus it doesnt sit in cans or kegs for long. Outside of Dublin, it did taste the same in Ireland as anywhere else in the world. And rhe actual brewery proper was another tier above that too.

I like Guinness, but its all basically the same outside Dublin and outside St James Gate especially to me. Not quite as good, I did have some NA stuff once to cook with! I think the etoh might help do something in the recipes but... the taste wasnt far off either.

Jesus was the first vampire and the lance of longinus piercing him created the second generation of vampires 🧛‍♀️

Like a sim????

Honey, you HAVE to sleep better. Like more than pretty much anything else in your life considering how dire youve described it

The one that gets me is that there is studies on men with MS getting testosterone being beneficial. But if youre a trans man with MS they make you stop taking T. Wild.

Cypro is the traditional treatment for prostate cancer, but there are forms that are resistant to T blockers. Only ones I saw were when it was very well developed and grown quite a bit not like something you randomly pick up. Prostate cancer is T driven so if youre on blockers or you had an orchie, the chances of developing it should more or less be zero I suppose. If you had some cancer brewing and it wasnt resistant to T deprivation... well if you take HRT or get an orchie you already were doing the standard treatment. I suppose its possible for someone who had it in full bloom to transition past when deprivation would be useful? But that seems very very niche and presumably youd have been screened once pre anything (pre egg crack probably).

Gorbachev wrote his own memoirs about it, which is nice as a primary source. But I dont exactly trust his own reasoning lol

I do genuinely want to read a Marxist analysis of how the Soviet Union fell and the Soviet project ended up fizzling out. Im open to "well the CIA did it" but its a little trite and I suspect there's much more to it than the evil Americans merely tricked everyone. Or Gorbachev was uniquely evil, cause maybe he was or wasnt but no one person can destroy a system.

Ive read a bunch of partial analysis, but never like a book just about the 80s to 90s USSR - and not some imperialist bourgeois criticism either, like an honest Marxist analysis.

If I remember his deep lore, he got on an all meat diet and attributes that to panic attacks for which he was prescribed or found someone to get him on, presumably, Ativan. He says he had severe autoimmune response to all meat and drinking cider (he said if he drank cider hed be insomnic for days and days). Anyway, he only started the carnivore only diet thing because his daughter told him to. The same daughter that told him not to listen to his Canadian doctors recommending a benzo taper when he was interested and ready to come off of them, and to instead seek a medically induced coma to skip the frankly shitty feelings of withdrawing and have the taper done I guess without his conscious awareness. So they went to Serbia or Russia and of course its not without risks to do that, so his coma was very long.

His wife did have kidney cancer diagnosis in 2019 and this all happened around that time. But hes Peterson, and I guess he cant just accept he was not coping well with his spouses diagnosis and attributed what he was feeling as reactions to food...

Nothing about the all meat diet or medically induced coma to attempt to skip benzo withdrawals huh
