Caloric restriction is the only thing proven in animals. Feels like its working for me, had a wart disappear when I went down to one meal a day at night. Sometimes a spoon of peanut butter mid-day. Adapt/adjust to always being hungry. Feels good eventually. Walking. Body's designed for it. Walk unti...

^ not a joke. People want the drama, and they're gonna happily give up their right to protest to get it.

If he condemns martial law/lockdowns he has my vote Watching the commies beg for an open border is getting as ridiculous as covid https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/19d8dw7/supreme_court_allows_federal_agents_to_cut_razor/ edit1: https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/19e1yj9/based_texas...

Emergency fund in local currency. Bag of global stocks (VTWAX). Bag of longest duration bonds you can find, from a stable enough issuer (prob US gov). Sell if rates near lower bound. (1.5%ish) Maybe gold as hyperinflation insurance. Or even better, real estate you can improve. Good enough for the wo...

For those living outside US, what is the situation with American companies being allowed to operate. Uber, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Walmart, Tesla.

Are they increasing or decreasing in exposure/market share? Might be related to speculation abt reserve currency status

I'm tilted ex-US cuz my day job depends on US economy. More concerned abt return of capital than return on. It'll be the reserve currency until it isnt. "The Global Market Index (GMI) is an unmanaged benchmark (maintained by CapitalSpectator.com) that holds all the major asset classes (except c...

Fell for the narrative and bought a rental in 05 which everyone says was near peak of bubble. But even if I'd thought about the fundamentals, I would have been looking at prices and hand-wringing daily for ~3 years before prices fell below 05. Depending on how valuable your headspace is, might not b...

question is how long will the Fed wait to step in (and why). IIRC there were only a few months to dump long bonds and buy stocks in 2020. They have the "legal" authority now that they didnt in 2009.

Classic 4x25!? Surely you must have a "variable" portfolio somewhere

He certainly will, fits the narrative. Folks have a hard time accepting that good people do bad things and everyone has their price which is a lot lower than they think. And yeah thats mostly what I do, average the far-right and far-left takes and that's usually close to reality. Happy holidays! The...

probably wont antagonize the government because 95% of people wont pay the membership fee. Myself included, Grocery Outlet FTW

Tragic. Far right pushing pro-life and far left pushing masks/lockdown/no jabs no job/UBI-communism.

Your body your choice. Not going to get fixed either because these people want the fight. Before social media they couldnt form mobs this large.

"I fall asleep in less than a minute. Never heard of kraton before." A.I. created to troll me. My Billy Budd. The only thing I want is good sleep. And then cherry picks data to fit a pre-established, comfortable narrative, in this case that kratom is bad. But he's right, as usual. Its a mi...

Get on my level Vinny. Also I slam 6oz black coffee when I wake up, then lay down again for 20min until it hits. Waking up has always been rough. Setting up a treadmill with a TV. Should be able to walk for hours if I can surf youtube. Seems I need a lot of exercise to sleep well, still trying to fi...

Black coffee or a spoon of peanut butter are good appetite killers

Indeed, martial law over a cold, pushed by the Left was unprecedented dysfunction.

Took 9 years to bleed out the Russians in Afghanistan.

"What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?"

well...all those folks are counting on their home and 401k for retirement. They will not be consoled if asset prices fall 30% permanently even if CPI drops 40%. So in shrinking/deflationary Japan you have their FED buying private companies for more than their worth. "a merger of state and corpo...

Yes, along with Vanguard. Asset holders + homeowners are the most powerful lobby. They arent going to allow assets to drop nominally in USD, for very long. The governance issues are interesting, with Blackrock and Vanguard CEOs voting on your behalf https://old.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/14771...

Scott Adams isnt going to transmogrify anyone here into a conservative.

Never listened to the podcast, but they have one of the best sub-reddits. Maybe that isnt saying much. Its for centrist women or something.
