@S-Holmes Probably a (spam) bot that intertwines borderline useless info with spam... Ignore or use the block function...

@Peatful said in Check your Bank Statements: @Mulloch94 said in Check your Bank Statements: @Peatful said in Check your Bank Statements: To clarify She has been a customer of the LGS as well as RPF one time subscription membership And fraudulent charges were only labeled from or through the forum I have no more information at this time I never like assuming the worst, but it looks pretty bad. On the other hand, it could be Paypal's fault. I've never liked PP, when I've been forced to use them on occasion, I always added money to my PP account when needed, instead of letting my card information and PP wallet stay continuously supplied. It's a hassle, but well worth it, letting my card information be available 24/7 to an entity that's been known to pull shenanigans like this in the past is not worth it. Besides, I try to avoid PP at every opportunity I can anyways. So I don't use it much. That’s helpful advice She did confirm with me that it was through the one time charge - through the one time subscription charge- on the Ray Peat Forum And PayPal seems to be giving her quite the runaround As she wants to absolve all her data there After an HOUR waiting to speak with someone She suddenly was disconnected Hate this for her Oh yeah, I've been down that road before. I feel for her. PP's "customer support" is whatever the opposite of support is, lol. At least that was my experience with them. I would give them a message, and they'd wait like 4 hours before replying. Oh, and at like 5PM est they go home for the day. So with the delay time between message, you only have time to say like 2 maybe 3 messages.

@Luke Thank you

@Sugar jews promote troons? Wow, shocking!

@brad As well these are great so we could possibly pin an 'About Ray Peat' post to create a source of info to bypass Wikipedia, for now.

This guy's content is great

@b1 said in Can we bring Dr Peat back to life: Is there a way? I had a dream last night, in the dream, I accessed an alternate reality where there was an i.a. of Raymond, and the i.a. corresponded well enough to the original person that it seemed to be the same person, I flew to his location, I don't remember the rest

Alternative diets, whether Peating, keto/carnivore, vegetarianism/veganism, or anything else, alienate normal people because refusing commonly accepted food makes other insecure in their (never examined) decision to consume it. Thus, normies instinctively steer away for any recommendations that imply having to permanently switch to a "weird" diet and face social rejection. Focus on weight loss avoids that, because it's commonly see as a question of calories and thus only a requirement to eat less instead of differently. Furthermore, it can usually be dismissed or limited to a certain time periods (i.e. trying to lose weight before some important event).

@CO3 said in got smoked oysters but its in cottonseed oil ffs: yeah i get that lol. It's a bit annoying but I've never bought canned oysters that were particularly bad or anything, so that wouldn't necessarily scare me off. Not worried about the quality its just that I dont know yet if I like them or not. Buying 6 smaller cans for $15 is a nicer choice than shilling out $126 the first time. (even tough the bulk rate is definitely cheaper). Of course the problem is that the $15 is only in sunflower oil lol. Ill just suck it up and wash what I got.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy to a certain extent, yes. When I was a regular drinker I've often did it to loosen my restraint and be able to speak freely; and even when I got drunk completely alone I still enjoyed the feeling of freedom, of being able to at least enjoy my own thoughts without fear (or expressing them on the various online venues I frequented). At the other hand, alcohol is also a depressant: it simplifies and reduces complex thoughts; a drunk's sloppy, disorganized speech reflects a sloppy, disorganized mind.

@brad smite this estrogenic n***** at once!

@dan-dominic Asians can grow beards it’s just against their culture (in Japan anyway) unless you are old.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy said in Is being incel the "new normal" in 2024?: Just because a man is unable to get a long term girlfriend , or have sex , doesn't mean that he is automatically going to be filled with hatred towards people lol . Some of them might feel lonely or depressed but thats all. Being unable to get a girlfriend or sex doesn't make you a bad person. You don't sound like an incel. This is what incels do for fun. Well, that's what they do when they aren't actually murdering people and committing mass shootings. They don't actually want a girlfriend. In fact getting a girlfriend would destroy their whole worldview. To me you just sound like a loner who hasn't had much experience with socially interacting with women. Even if it feels unnatural to you, you need to force yourself into social situations. A man's biggest hurdle to getting laid is the fear of rejection. Once you overcome this it won't matter to you anymore because you realize it's just a numbers game. If you find yourself being too socially awkward you could read some books on "pickup artistry." There's a lot of good tidbits in some of them for inexperienced males on social etiquette. I would just caution you to avoid the whole pickup artist culture, which tends to view women and sex as a game more so than finding meaningful partners. Which isn't a healthy attitude to have, and in the worst of scenarios could even devolve into misogynistic behavior. But the introductory phases can be useful. Lastly, If you want to refine your game, look into the sexual market value system, it's really one of the most accurate analytical frameworks to assess a man's "desirability." This isn't really needed if your end goal is to just have a girlfriend or wife. But if you're one of those dudes that appeals to the sex positive "one night stand" thing, the SMV system when applied appropriately will help you achieve this.

@Autism looks great
