Leaving the yolk runny also preserves about 50% more nutrients compared to hard boiled

Isn't the recommended daily choline intake 400 - 500mg? How would eating an egg every 3 days be causing cancer then? I don't get that hypothesis I found another study saying the opposite: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep35547#:~:text=An increment of 100 mg,warranted to verify the results. Sadly I don't think there is enough conclusive evidence. The real culprit seems to be the TMAO which choline can create, which also causes apparent cardiovascular risk in some studies, but then you also get studies which contradict that, like this one: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181106073239.htm#:~:text=TMAO levels in the blood,substance made by gut bacteria. Choline is essential to the diet, so the key seems to be to somehow control the levels of TMAO which it creates. I'm not sure what exactly causes or contributes to high or low TMAO levels though. "The cause of high TMAO levels in the blood and the compound's effects on the heart and circulatory system are unclear, and earlier research has been contradictory." Sums it up pretty well I think

Yeah idk then I'm not a doctor, but it is useful to remember that the pelvic region is activated in orgasm and that arousal can really amp up your heart rate and temperature. I also noticed that I completely lose my appetite when aroused, which may be why your stomach isn't "working right". Here's a potentially useful article: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324488#causes-of-cramps-in-both-sexes

Hmm... did you eat a lot before it? I have had experiences where I edged for a long time and felt some pain near the stomach after, in the same spot you describe. Also, staying aroused for a long time can make you feel sick, just because it raises your body temperature for so long. At least that's what I've noticed in my experience. Maybe seeing a doctor is a good idea, if it is something your doctor told you about before.

Maybe go no-fap for a week and see what happens, should really boost your libido Yeah apparently being really nervous or stressed can make it hard to get it up Other than that, idk. Idk about the body pain either.

Letting another control you for a certain benefit, usually something like money -
All religions are the teachings of enlightened people from centuries ago. It's really that simple. Teachings of truth are not exempt from devilry. Of course it will get misinterpreted and used for personal gain. This is not exclusive to Islam, happens in every religion.

I've never done psychedelics but I have experienced such a phenomenon before. It's pretty crazy. Like I knew for a fact there's no way time passed by that quickly. I don't recall the specific events, but It usually happens when I'm cooking food and trying to set a timer for it. 10 minutes will pass in like 1 minute. The thing about this is it will always be anecdotal no matter what, even if it is true. It's like reality is trolling me lol. -

This is especially important with this specific insight, otherwise the ego just panics. Good reply. -
Look into intermittent fasting/OMAD/2MAD for getting into ketosis, might be simpler and easier for you in the long run. It also gives more freedom of food during eating time. You gotta come up with a change in diet that is sustainable for the rest of your life. No point in sticking to a healthy super strict diet for 2 weeks and then stopping. Although I'm surprised you managed for 10 months, shows you're committed. Yeah pretty much, even better with fasting

Don't think there is any controller, except the one you imagine Problem with this is I don't really get how it works relatively. How do you reconcile it with personal responsibility? It gets really mindfucky when I try to contemplate it. -

The brain is a part of consciousness So, your question properly rephrased is: "How can we be sure that consciousness is not generated by consciousness?" And the answer is that consciousness IS generated by consciousness, it's a strange loop. In fact, consciousness is the only thing that can generate anything. Consciousness = existence In other words, consciousness generates itself, or you could also say consciousness is made of nothing. This is not always the case. You can throw a ball at a window and the window will break, no significant change in brain activity required. Just consciousness interacting with itself, as usual. Consciousness is constantly interacting with itself, whether it be a hammer to your head or a ball to the window. This is nothing new. -
Sexuality seems to be a very malleable and flexible thing, much more than society tends to give it credit for I wouldn't overthink it, and I wouldn't be too fast to put myself in boxes like "gay" or "straight". Sexuality can be way more nuanced than that, and it's really not worth panicking over these labels just cause you watch something out of the ordinary once in a while. I've seen transgender women who are basically indistinguishable from non-transgender women. It's really not that weird. Also yeah, you can try no-fap if you want, it could help a bit with stabilizing your sexual desires and maybe even becoming more intimate with them. Just make sure to commit to it, and make sure not to watch porn or edge yourself during it, it kind of ruins the progress IME. This is also pretty likely. A self-fulfilling prophecy.

When people get mad they will probably try to harm you somehow, so the goal is to prevent harm, whether it is physical or mental. You can do this by distancing yourself from them or somehow reducing their anger. If a cat is angry at you, they're probably too low consciousness to understand any form of communication, unless you're good at communicating with cats. In that situation, best to get away from it. A similar situation can happen with actual people.
