Very much a time demanding exercise fraught with competition.

And niche.

Hm, is this indicative of most people being stupid and not joining DC for debating, or do us members just have privileged free time to spend on social media?

Very much a time demanding exercise fraught with competition.

It’s actually pretty easy to make alt accounts. I do it all the time on Discord to troll people.

Prior to that I'm guessing that Og and Ug the cave boys had beards and came to similar conclusions in a naive and primeval sort of way.

They realized if they cut their facial hair they would lose all their testosterone and be powerless

Not since the beginning of November last year

What type of man sells out his niggas for a bitch

The Count of Monte Cristo. But they were all vanillas instead of chocolates if u catch my drift, being French and all

Just wait. He'll enter the stage in a few scenes. See how he argues, then. Zut aloes, he may even claim. he's French

Wouldn't that be Zed?

well moose is great

can't complain

Unless the others see that sharing is caring, and they take me back to their apartment for takeout Chinese and some hanky-panky

Oh gosh, even I don't know what this "hidden talent" is

Meat is the best source of protein.

Yeah right. Animal-based diet is directly associated with an increased risk of a plethora of disorders and diseases like liver failure, high cholesterol, cancer, heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, etc.... The American Cancer Society even says people should lower their intake of meat and recommends foods like fruit and veggies to lessen chance of cancer.

Meat is carcinogenic, its pumped full of sodium via the factory processes, its inflammatory, it slows your metabolism, lowers collagen production, increases chance of babies being born with diseases or disorders like obesity, usually very fatty and oily, contains feces and more airborne nasty bacteria than any other type of food, very easy to digest too much protein from meat. Need I go on?

On the other hand, populations with longevity and the greatest number of healthy years of life is associated with a plant-based diet.

Good luck convincing me otherwise. I know my nutrition.

I think we have about 100 users that are on the website. Though it is probably less than that when you account for the Alts and active users. I haven’t been active in a couple months here, so I’m wondering if anyone has noticed a constant trickle of new users recently.

Has there been a correlation between popularity on the YouTube channel and new users coming to this site? I am happy to see an increase of subscribers for the YouTube channel. I think there has been a few thousand added just from last month or so. I occasionally check the YouTube channel for new videos and to see what’s going on there.

Have there been any additional projects for popularizing and advertising the website?

That's cool. I built a pc a few months ago, so maybe I'll try Krita for drawing

But I don't really eat much protein, maybe 50 to 70 grams per day.

that is like the scientific perfect amount for your reasonable ideal weight.

My most common source of protein is usually bread.

Yeah, u can get protein from bread. but it is hard to get bread that does not contain refined sugar (like white bread). Even whole grain bread is not ideal for carbs and sugars. The items I listed above are better for protein and sugar intake. If most protein is from bread, the amount of bread u would need to eat to reach ideal protein intake would mean a whole lot of refined sugar which mostly transforms to fat and is more likely to be inflammatory

Sugar is the nutrient. I will admit that fruit sugar is probably better because it comes with vitamins, but the issue is, it's very difficult to get enough from fruit alone, because not all sugars in fruit are useful. Fructose is mostly useless in large amounts, because brain doesn't really use it as main fuel source. I combine fruit with carbohydrates and chocolate. But yeah, I need sugar in simple form, because that is quick energy. Carbohydrates are very slow releasing sugars, they are slow energy. In other words, it takes time to get sugar from carbohydrates because body needs to break them down to simple sugars first, and then use simple sugar as fuel source. I prefer to eat more of simple sugar, because that is just giving body simple sugar directly instead of forcing it to break down complex sugars.

You talk about complex sugars like they should be avoided. Simple sugars like trans fat, saturated fat, corn syrup that you find in candy and pop tarts is not good for you because it is inflammatory, it quickly runs through the body so it is disposed of faster meaning your body benefits less from it. Complex sugars activate your body's natural healthy metabolism and are broken down and absorbed in the proper manner. They percolate and are stored in the body longer and the different nutrients of the food are taken to the right places. Quick sugar strains bodily mechanisms and spikes blood sugar. Not all simple sugar is bad, but refined and processed varieties like raw sugar are not good sources of sugar. Simple sugar from fruit is the best. Complex sugar from pasta and starches and veggies is best.

I don't know how u can defend complex sugars being unhealthy.

Fructose, while being a simple sugar, is great for the body. It helps with gut and liver functionality. Fructose turns into ATP which is bodies main source of energy.

160 grams is way above the recommended dosage. Excess protein turns into fat

I don't eat enough protein, at least not as much as I should. From what I understand, body builders eat plenty of protein, like maybe 160 grams of protein per day. I don't. I still achieve good results with workout, because while muscles are made out of protein, their main fuel is still sugar, and muscles also need sugar to repair themselves after exercise.

I was thinking of getting protein or creatine powder, but at this point, I really think I don't even need it because my workout improves every week anyway without them.

Average protein per day is 0.8lb/g-0.9lb/g. I am around 150 lbs, so i should have around 60 grams of protein per day. Even with that being said, the recommended protein is actually a little less than that, so honestly I'd be doing great with around 50 grams/day. Body builders' goals are to gain as much muscle as possible and/or have the most aesthetic looking body, and this does not always correlate with functional fitness and health. I do not base my diet off of what body builders are eating.

For protein, eat cup servings of beans, mushrooms, and perhaps a little meat. Just 1 cup of chicken gives u about half of the daily average. But u shouldn't be worried about protein because everyone from carnivore diets, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian all eat an excess amount of protein per day on average in US.

I personally recommend a plant-based diet with adherence to Dr. Michael Greger.

Idk if the raw sugar is helping u out man 😅. That sugar is refined and processed and stripped of the nutrients. For sugars, stick to fruit and carbs like pasta and starches like corn and potatoes. Vegetables and roots like carrots and beets also contain sugar that is good for u.

The methodology of drawing while using the distancing rules has always been interesting to me. My mom took drawing classes when she was in high school, and she would explain some things to me about the symmetry and spacing between ears and eyes, for example. It was neat to see how there was a geometry--a mathematic logic--to the facial configuration.

From the simple sugar list, fruit and maybe chocolate are the only good ones for you. Fruit is very good. Do you consider protein intake? Not that protein deficiency is really a problem

Be careful with amount of sugar intake bc excess sugar transforms into fat

Smile and ~ boys. Smile and ~

Huh, kinda looks like this little Russian girl. Was she the inspiration?

I am impressed with Debby's proficiency in AI utility. Sometimes the AI messages are more thought-provoking than the low iq human posts. This seems kind of similar to BK's ban from Dart in the reasoning for pro-ban.

Sorry, I do not read or understand most of what you say because of the symbol syntax in which you write.

He was disappointed he could not impress Debby. So he might be changing his career.

Canadians do have an acquired taste. It takes a lot to warm their palate in the 24/7/365 cold.

But because I am young, I will outlive most people on this site.

Also, my high sugar diet wont kill me, because studies done about high sugar diet arent true in case of person who works out and isnt obese.

High sugar diet only kills obese people, because they take more calories than necessary. But merely replacing fat calories with sugar calories, without increasing total calories, works quite well.

What are your sources of sugar?

I likely do go to Hell anyway as I am a convert and spent much of my life being a sinful scumbag. We will see.

You wouldn't say that if you believe in Justification.

Remember the Albert Einstein said, ‘The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of venerable but still rather primitive legends. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change anything about this.’

I find the Bible to be quite liberating. The bible is not just made up of the "mythical stories" Einstein spoke. There are also poetry, philosophy, wisdom, and history, so his view of the Bible is uneducated I will say.

I also wonder under what philosophy Einstein was operating when he said that?

But one excludes God, if I understand correctly, and I think that side is wrong because in all possible scenarios there is no logical explanation for God not existing.

We are talking about a transcendent reality, which is to say, it transcends logical analysis.

Some aspects of God can't be logically understood, though He's revealed Himself sufficiently in the Bible.

You believe the Bible reveals God, which is fine, but I know the Bible very well, and what I know isn’t in it, are any “proofs of” or “arguments for”, the existence of God.

The basis of biblical faith is not inferential reason. It is personal encounter. Rather than make an argument for the existence of God, the Bible describes the encounter with a personal, moral, liberating, and transcendent power and presence.

You have chosen to believe that the Bible reveals God, and others don’t choose to believe that, but either way, it is not a logical conclusion, it is a choice we are free to make, and it is a matter of faith. 

I am fine with not knowing every answer about God. It is natural to not fully understand one's Father, but the people that disagree and say that they can completely know God by declaring Him fake are the same people that don't even do everything they tell themselves to do, so why would they think their mind is superior to God's? A perfect mind would know better than an imperfect mind. Makes no sense practically that a sinful person would think they know better than an inerrant being (aside from the fact that they make mistakes about things)

I is my contention that, if a person’s Theism is logically arrived at rather than discerned, if it a matter of detached rational analysis rather than participation in a transcendent experiential reality, then I think they are doing it wrong. A religious belief that is some sort of logical inference instead of immediately known, is not authentically religious.

The nature of the Bible itself is a proof, in that it is a historical document. Provided its credibility is established, it can be used to defend the existence of God.

You have chosen to believe that the Bible reveals God, and others don’t choose to believe that, but either way, it is not a logical conclusion, it is a choice we are free to make, and it is a matter of faith. 

I think it is objective that one can learn more about the Christian God from reading the Bible that describes Him and details examples of His personality and actions.

The basis of biblical faith is not inferential reason. It is personal encounter. Rather than make an argument for the existence of God, the Bible describes the encounter with a personal, moral, liberating, and transcendent power and presence.

I think you are saying that faith is not logically discerned, it arrives from experience. I agree with that. However, logic and knowledge do impact faith. Tangible information can change a faith or even create a new one.

I think the Bible can be comprehended logically, yet there are truths in it that are mystifying. Though not all truths in it our beyond human perception, so I don't fully agree with you saying that the Bible does not "make an argument for the existence of God." In fact, we are encouraged to argue on our Lord's behalf to witness via acting upon the Holy Spirit with the truth provided to us in the Bible.

Stay in shape. You won’t regret it.

I do try. I heard eating moose is delicious and healthy for a person, my recommendation.
