I got on the stationary bike for the first time in some time. It was less than 30 minutes later I felt the positive effects. How strange it is to know and experience something is wholesome and helpful yet still get lost elsewhere and struggle to get back.
Re: No constitutional protection for abortion in the US
For all this shit talking you guys are doing, I hope your brushing up your knowledge about my lady bits and how I cook a baby. Most men know nothing about the anatomy you’re fighting so hard for.
We have OBGYNs . Do you guys have dick docs? Hahaha….seriously, do you go to a specialist once a year all things having a penis? We do. Please. Until you guys take shit more seriously, you can kiss my ass on trusting you with my health decisions. That’s real talk.
.if you guys really want to stick with theme….start a thread about the Buddhist views. Many mixed ones. That’ll be a runaway train, hahaha.
My vote is still…it’s my decision. Just like it’s yours.

Re: No constitutional protection for abortion in the US
Good for Kansas.
@person said “…..the general public seems to be behind protections up to a certain amount of time and exceptions for rape, incest, and health”
That’s reinforcing the idea that in order for a woman to have a right to her own body, …someone has to violate her first….or her life must be on the line.
Tell me again which ‘protections’ are on the books concerning a man’s penis? Or his sperm?
Being a straight woman is wild because you have to date your only natural predator.

Re: Fear of Existing
Just Existing is something to be feared. However, to live takes courage; to live takes action. To exist is to be like a small stick floating, carried by the river, just passively going where the river and it's currents send it. To live is to be in a canoe paddling upon the river to travel where you want to go.
Summery: Life is the river
the stick is merely existing
Paddling the canoe is living
Peace to all

The French Paradox
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_paradoxAh ha! Makes sense.
- Rather than butter in the summer I like to use coconut oil for spreading on toast …
- The French love their food. Metta again …
- Some other tips worth acknowledging.
It's a fallacy. The cause of coronary problems is not those fats. It's carbohydrate/starch sugars.
The Body produces both HDL and LDL Cholesterols.
Both are essential for the adequate and correct function of the brain. Your brain is fed by cholesterol.
Your Body isn't going to produce adequate amounts of a compound that is bad for you/going to kill you.
Now, according to doctors, LDL is "bad" cholesterol.
Why? because if a person consumes high levels of sugars, the sugars, normally stored in the liver, are diffused into the bloodstream. When you eat too much sugar, your liver makes more LDL while lowering the amount of HDL in your body. The extra calories from a sugary diet also leads to more of something called triglycerides, a type of blood fat that plays a role in your cholesterol health.
LDL Combines with the triglycerides and creates the destructive and unhealthy platelets that line arteries and thicken to inhibit, block blood-flow. You can have high levels of LDL and HDL, without either level affecting your health one little bit, AS LONG AS YOUR TRIGLYCERIDES ARE AT NORMAL LEVELS.
Take it from me. Been there, done that, put my Dr in his place.
