Sorry about your situation. You bring up a good point. Our economy and gov is so shit about housing, that it actually does make sense to commit a crime to have a place to stay. I’m guessing, it would better to commit some kind of non-violent white collar crime? I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer. This just sucks. Sorry. 😔

According to Dr Jason Fung, who does a lot of research on the pancreas and insulin, avoiding carbs and sugar is the most beneficial. The basic idea is that sugar and carbs trigger your pancreas to release insulin the most. Insulin is the hormone that tells your body to store fat.

He probably watches a lot of right wing/conservative media, and those shows generally aim to get people riled up to be against democrats and foreigners to an unreasonable extent. That and other personal issues messed up his brain. Like others have said, dude needs therapy.

dang, I didn’t know that. But like someone in the above comments has said, maybe the use a different index?
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 10 months ago:
If I’m reading correctly, they’re saying that google is much better that filtering out SEO spam. I’m no expert, but maybe some of the supposed “spam” may have some actual relevant content, and that they are just good at gaming SEO. However, this doesn’t excuse google from blatantly placing advertised links as top search results, even if they aren’t relevant at all.
I’m okay with ads, but I find it misleading when they appear as the top search results. I’d be okay with them if they were placed after the top 3 actual relevant results. Even better if ads were on a side bar area.
So far, for most of the random things I search, ddg has given me more relevant and useful results than google (just casual testing over a month), even if they are better at filtering out SEO spam. I may check out google again for some searches, but so far, ddg has been working well for me.
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 10 months ago:
Yeah, Google search is useless now. I’ve switched to ddg , and it’s much better. Just not having all those sponsored links helps a lot .
Maybe a searx instance would be even better, but I haven’t found one that works consistently for me.

- Comment on Can we create a new Internet ? 1 year ago:
I can see how some people can get trapped in a bubble of Google and FB. I hope they can realize that Google, FB, Reddit, and Twitter are not “the internet”.
I stopped using FB when the timeline became useless (it was hard to filter to a specific friend or family member), and also that I no longer wanted to see updates from people I didn’t even want to hear from. I have since switched to smaller and more personally curated social media platforms like a group chat or a discord server.
Sure google is a common homepage for a lot of people, but there are other alternatives that work well. TBH, a few years ago, I wanted to switch to DuckDuckGo, but their search results were lacking compared to google, but fast forward to now, DDG gives more accurate and useful results than Google’s ad driven and AI driven “search results”.
I’ve enjoyed my “internet experience” much better after switching from Reddit to Lemmy. Just the fact that it’s not driven by profit, and policy changes are not a the whim of a monolithic corporation, makes the experience much better. I generally don’t see people trying to grift on lemmy. I really appreciate the useful and well thought out comments/posts on lemmy compared to other platforms.
Also, Mastodon is so much more enjoyable to use than Twitter (deadnaming it, I don’t care).
