I just got back from the doctor for just a regular checkup. I don't know man, I am getting more and more disillusioned with the medical industry every day it seems. I used to like this guy. He is fit, smart, critical thinker, and fairly young, maybe late 40s or early 50s.

Now I am not so sure. The last few years have literally just been pure shit shoveled down my throat with no thought behind it, just straight up pushing whatever the latest thing is.

Today I wanted to ask a few questions about some things like libido, nootropics for concentration, and I can't even remember what else. The answers for everything were just canned responses. He was sure to include that Canada just recommended that the alcohol intake be no more than 2 drinks a week, I figure I drink 2 a month so I am good according to them. But I mean lets just think about that critically for a half a second. An explosion in cancers and heart issues in the last few years due to this magical alcohol intake? People have been drinking since the dawn of time, and modern city-dwelling man probably has not changed their individual alcohol habits at all. So a spike in anything would have to be correlated to a spike in drinking, NOT in a change in the recommendations.

He also was pretty thorough in his questioning me on how my heart has been in general, and during peak load while working out or biking. Odd, I have never been grilled on my heart before, care to elaborate as to why? No, okay fine, just routine questions I guess.

I wanted to do a blood test because I completely changed my diet through September/October of 2022, and I want to see the results. Nope, can't get one, I already had one last year so its 100% off the table. Best healthcare in the world here in Canada!! Can't even do a routine blood test.

Oh, and make sure you get your boosters, your flu vaccine and I think tetanus or something. I said I have not had a flu vaccine in over 25 years and it will be at least that long until I get another.
somethings not adding up here about the blood test...... doctor can get a blood test done no problem. I've had 3-4 done in a year.... The doctor just needs to give you a requisition form. However, if you just "ask to have a blood test" then maybe thats why the doctor said no.

blood test is ordered if there is some underlying issue or something to check on. Not because 'u just want one'. though if u are having a full physical they should order a blood test... so i dunno the context of your meeting.

I have completely changed my diet, and asked about some underlying things specifically I want addressed. So yea, to me it should be available. Canada sucks sometimes.

The sugar induced brain fog is awful indeed.
Basically felt like a mild hangover.

What does your usual diet look like?
Q4 of last year I've done a controlled high carb / low fat diet. The only source of carbs was rice with turmeric powder. I think this slowed down the absorption of glucose because I had no problems with my energy levels and felt great.

Last 2 weeks I've eaten mostly beef with no carbs, but I'm about to get serious with a diet plan and measure the outcome.

The dessert was so sweet that my watch recorded an unusually high-stress level. I was floored.
Haha that's insane!
That's why it's important to listen to your body's signals. If your brain decides that something doesn't taste good, it is happening for a reason.

Why not? I can walk into any lab in Mexico and pick what I want tested a la carte and get it done right then. The results will be emailed to me in a couple days.
I had the same issues in Canada. Hey I've made some changes in my life, just want to see where my levels are at. Nope. Too bad. Rationed, socialized healthcare sucks.

Guys
Google drive going nuts and behaving like a pretty mound of bullshit. I have assignments to submit and the thing isn't going to upload the files so I can share.

Which other cloud storage service is reliable and easy to use?

I'm surprised several of the Hollywood Studios don't get together and create a social media platform that they control, and instruct all their workers, agents, actors, and stars to use it. Maybe throw in some music studios. If enough famous people went there, regular people would follow, and they might get a critical mass. They could do to Facebook/Twitter what Facebook did to Myspace.

Are you a competitive person? Or a result-driven person?

Although it might not sound too meaningful, I think it's an interesting distinction. If you're competitive you want to become better in order to beat others. If you're result-driven, you've got internal motivation to become better for the sake of achieving a better result.
I am a result-driven person. People often tell me to look at xyz person, how they are doing better than me. I tried competing but that never worked until I genuinely wants to achieve those goals. I think I am progressing if I am doing something better than before. I aim at learning, not winning. If it's a game, well I try to win then :). Depends on scenarios I guess.

That basically was Twitter until a couple months ago.

Multimillionaire "Mr Beast" cures 1000 people of blindness and unfortunately, some of the insufferable maggots of our society aren't happy about it, deploying tropes about "capitalism" "rich people" and "universal healthcare."

This proves that no matter what you do, culture's morons will take issue with it unless you kneel at the alter of communism.

America is beyond repair.

When there's nothing to be outraged about, Twitter will invent something to be outraged about.

Wow. Did Mr Beast really help 1,000 people see? That's amazing.

As for the morons, the last laugh's on them. They live their life miserable complainers.

He made a follow up video in which he tried to justify his miserable comment.

Started moaning about capitalism, wealth inequality and the "unfair system". He is now playing the victim and doesn't understand why people are disgusted by his tweet.

I've looked at some of his other pathetic videos. This is one of the biggest narcissistic socialist loser I've ever seen.

I’d rather personally pressure wash driveways every day than be a copywriter.

Posting this here because I couldn’t find a way to get in touch with @MJ DeMarco

So, here it goes:

I've been a huge fan of your work.

Recently came across your latest tweet.

I loved it and generated a few variations of it.

I wanted to share those with you because I believe would resonate well with your followers and potentially generate even more engagement.

I would be honored if you would consider using one of my suggested tweets to see how it works.

Of course, I understand if you prefer to stick with your original content and I completely respect that decision.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.

P.S: If you'd like to take a look at the tweets I write, you can check out my profile here:

Is there some news worth knowing that has come out? Other than apparently eggs are going to give me blood clots now, that was a good one.

I read a funny comment about how everything is giving us clots now, but everyone ignores the elephant in the needle.
