Firstly, true keto diet is indeed zero carbs because ketosis is what happens to starving poor people as their body gets sick and starts digesting its own flesh and fat to create energy (yes, that is where 'keto diet' gots its name from).
True keto diets are very much LOW carb. Fad diets are zero carbs
Secondly, I have in my own time noticed both personally and via trials a theory that salty and oily foods are catalysts that then make bodies worse at digesting and superior at retaining calories as fatty tissue. Scientists who are skeptical keep quiet as it gets you shunned if you oppose the mainstream idea that carbs make people fat. You see, it's from carb-heavy food that the calories come but it's from salty and fatty foods that the body gets a catalytic tendency to retain the calories as fatty tissue rather than to break it down or to burn it.
The thing is if you are actively trying to burn fat away from your body, carbs are the worse thing to do as they contain almost purely fat with no nutrients. At least with saltier foods, that contrasts with something more healthier. Fatty foods such as chips and such are terrible, that I agree too
High carb diets only make you fat if you both lead a very sedentary lifestyle (including mentally, not just physically) and eat oily and fatty foods regularly too. It is also very correlated with you lacking vitamins and/or minerals especially the B-vitamins. B-vitamins are the opposite kind of catalyst to what oily and salty foods are; they almost outright force the stomach and body to break down and release carbs as energy rather than retain it as fatty tissue.
It is very hard to burn calories mentally though, it is much more physical than anything

In my belief, god himself his perfect. That's my belief because of my religion.
Everything else in this world has flaws and no one is perfect, but put on a façade of perfection to cater to other humans

According to math, I account for 4% of the sites entire forum posts
9% of the original threads
And in a year I average 4,323 posts, which is 1% of the sites posts
Safe to say I'm apart of the 1%
It's weird. I don't usually spend all day here, lots of my posts come from mafia. I usually check the site and comment on the post for about an hour, then do my own thing for more. Though I will say from 2018-2020 I was pretty insane

Yes, but there's a lot more to Simone Biles mental health that meets the eye. I'm sure having a sexual abuser train you for years isn't going to help with that at all

Simon Biles is amazing at gymnastics, let's get this straight. She didn't need to prove anything to anyone. I also do think it was best for her to step down
Regarding performance, mentality is key, especially in solo sports where the light is all on you. When I did shot put, if I put negative ideas and such into my head, it would ultimately lead to poorer results in my throws as such. Being in a proper mental state is essential into scoring well and if that is truly the reason she withdrawed, there is no issue. Mentality is key to the Olympic games and if Simon had consistently negative thoughts and was fighting demons that led to her performing at less than she should, she should resign and allow others to continue. I also could tell the sharp difference between her 2020 performance and 2016. It shows her deterioration (granted her deterioration is still the best in the world), if it impacts US performance, she should resign.
This will not be the end of Simon Biles. For god sake she is insane and so good that a move was named after heard, but other analysis like Charlie Kirk should really be quiet on the matter, especially with little sports knowledge or experience

I tend to avoid carbs. I don't do fatty meats, but I usually tend to avoids carbs. Eating too much carbs is not good for you, but your body does require carbs to process, but not a huge amount. Keto is LOW CARBS HIGH PROTEIN. It doesn't restrict you from having carbs, but tells you to lessen your carbs, which is healthy if you are training

@ILikePie5
While Earth had some aggressiveness in his play that was unwarranted, I agree with a lot of what Earth said.
Lunatic made this game so that you don't analyze theme and other structures of the game and focus on behavior, but town decided to hop on the stupidest train ever with regards to the whole wincon. That wasted an entire day phase only to force a mislynch lmao. Town just dug hole after hole in DP1 with useless arguments. Earth made a lot of good points about that and how town should focus on behavior, but Earth came across poorly.

Also I want to say why I am against giving out mass claims and stuff during Day Phase 1 and why I never claim Dp1 unless SoP. There were 2 options for us, use a predictor that gave us roles and character alligned, or whiteflame became a roleblocker. This was key into helping us win as we just roleblocked the person that kept getting in the way of our path, which is one of the reasons I said, don't claim and hunt for characters and such early and why I think early claiming is a bad meta

I give props to Whiteflame. He came up with the idea and while I was skeptical, it paid off

The final question I asked was, "Was any scum on the Dp1 lynch. I got a yes."

To note, Wylted has inconsistently made broad claims without reasoning or evidence whatsoever in regards to why he reads people besides "bro trust me." Wylted and drlebronski are scum.
Wylted's logic is inconsistent. He scum read Poly and said Poly and Supa are a team, but is still scumreading despite Poly's flip and not voting drlebronski.

@Wylted
Also a redirector is near impossible in this game. A cop, oracle, tracker, JK, vengeful, bodyguard do not counter with simply a redirector. And even if you were to assume there's a JOAT, that's too overpowered in this game. Drlebronski is lying and is scum. You not voting him despite his lies makes no sense and you are being detrimental to town

@Wylted
You haven't given any real information to sus me besides just saying I'm scum. If you were so confident in Poly and I scum team why didn't you lynch me over Poly. You either are scum or just really shit with logic. Drlebronski lied about what happened and that's the fact. Liars deserve to have pressure and now you are blindly believing his claim

Also I should say that I asked is was scum on DP1 lynch train, Lunatic replied yes. Drlebronski has to be scum. This seems like a typical noob scum move.

Drlebronski lied about a report. I don't what more there could be. It's then down to whiteflame or Wylted, but I'm leaning heavily toward Wylted

@oromagi
But certainly we'd agree that there's a wide chasm between keeping one's brain well occupied and employers' demanding work at substantially increased risk without substantially increased compensation.
If it is fast food chains, yes they probably should. But also note that some of that worker population is teenagers who need to make quick cash for college and don't put in hard and long hours if they don't need too
Nobody's saying that people shouldn't work. I am saying that exposing people to a fairly dangerous disease in an unacceptable risk to ask of people flipping burgers for minimum wage.
If people are fully vaxxinated or have COVID antibodies, I don't see why you can't go back to work.
If the middle class were not fairly well set up already to work from home we know the demand for increased exposure would have been universally unacceptable. It's a fact that it was the service industries, the low-paid underclass that Fox News wanted back at work and it's a fact that the middle class was missing its conveniences far more than making some principled appeal. If you wanted to argue that McDonald's could stay closed as non-essential work but that McDonald's employees should be given some safe work from home to keep their brains well-occupied as well as keep them on McDonald's payroll for the pandemic's duration, then I think you and I would find agreement.
The problem with that is food is essential and you need workers to prepare and cook food. Granted it doesn't have to be McDonalds, but the human body requires food from somewhere and some people don't have a natural gift of cooking, so you need chains like McDonalds to stay open so that monopolies don't form over one company entirely closing. Those jobs are essential and you do need them, but I'm sure you could negogiate with employees how they can be compensated. If it's COVID insurance or an increase in minimum wage to $12 federally (though were I live that is the minimum wage and higher)
Also even so, in the middle pandemic, restaurants and fast food places were mostly take out and not dine in, so they'd have to be exposed by their workers, and to be honest that seems harder to do.

I also contrast my grandma's to my grandpa's
The one who lives in Greece is 85 and can do pull ups and is quick witted as ever despite being old. He retired but still works out and does construction
My grandpa in America is active everywhere. Drives to pick up things, goes out to the mall and walks, and I've even seen him complete a crossword puzzle (it took him a few months since English isn't his primary language)

@oromagi
I guess, after my Mom died from COVID and he was denying the disease's existence and demanding that minimum wagers get back to work
Unironically I have the exact opposite take but for the same personal reasons
Both of my grandma's suffered from Altzheimer's and my dad's uncle is also starting to suffer from it as well. I noticed that after retirement, there health started to go downhill and they started to form some more positive signs of dementia. When they stopped working, they started to forget things and never get their minds active. That's why I do believe that work is important because while it might not be the most fun thing, it's definitely a stimulant to keep our brain fresh. When I'm old, I hope I keep reading and such things so my brain is active as such

@whiteflame
Bodyguard isn't the strongest claim to be honest overall. If Poly flips scum I think you are his partner. You probably think the same for me as well so I guess it will go into a showdown. If he's town, I think drlebronski and Wylted are the scum unless Greyparrot big brained us

@Polyglot
That's the plan. If you flip town then we get drlebronski and Wylted.
It's simple, scum team is either drlebronski Wylted or you and Whiteflame

I do agree with Pie on this. For one, if Oromagi is lying, he's an easy lynch target next day phase and we narrowed down scum pool. Town can afford a vtnl here and we get more info in general. I like the idea of a vtnl here and what Pie is suggesting
