what is a good way to use money to help those in need and not have it go to a money laundering scam or be squandered?
only ideas that immediately come to mind are donating to a church or maybe giving the money to a family member

The problem is every time I spent my money on things that made me happy and optimistically thought I'll just make that money back, I never did.
It's very hard to replenish savings as an autist. It might be years before you get another job or your parents aid you.

Then bad stuff happened like my beater car suddenly requiring $1400 in repairs to run, and my washing machine broke down. I had to beg my grandparents for a loan and they started loathing me.

So now I have $20k saved up due to that trauma. From eating ultra frugally and not spending a cent on anything but the cheapest foods that have nutritional value.
And I'm afraid to spend even a cent of it in case I need it for catastrophes.

At this point, I feel physically ill if I have to spend more than $10 in one day.
Money has ruined my psyche and is the only thing I think about 99% of the time.

do beverages even make sense? do they deserve to exist? i don't think so. beverages are shit. i question the general concept behind them. when i see someone drink lemonade i instantly consider that person an idiot; that someone who is drinking sugary industry juice because they made it taste nice. that's someone who was tricked into selfharm to me.

myself i like to drink fruit juices. i very much believe in the juices i make myself from real fruit. a fresh juice from an apple? that's so nice that everything else compared feels like a waste. occasional get distracted and resort to buying in boxes from the supermarket. currently i drink nothing but water. drinking only water is fine too though. that's plenty especially when the food is as dense as modern food. that's plenty for the body.

AND THEN FAT PEOPLE LIKE TO BUY CASES AND CASES OF STUPID STUFF THEY DRINK THAT THE FACTORY MADE. SOME EVEN HAVE ALCOHOL IN THEM 😆

people drinking alcohol is so funny to me. i use 99% isopropyl alcohol to dissolve spraypaint off when some asshole spraypaints my car. and the same stuff people drink for fun. that's just more self-harm. why they keep harming themselves.

>This is the same case with whole grains. Juicing acts as a cleanse for the same reason outright fasting does, by making your lower intestine dormant resulting in a mass death of gut bacteria.

i don't think it is dormant. it might appear dormant because the load you expect it to digest is reduced so much.


>This can kill off lot of the bad stuff and bring balance to the lower biome, but it's still going to weaken and starve the good stuff.


i don't think that's true. the bacteria is something i don't believe i ever need to worry about. i'm not waiting to implant the poop of healthier people like in the south park episode. besides there are few people who are more healthy then me.

my microbiome will reflect the ability of help digest the kind of food i am eating. whatever i am eating will keep those microorganisms alive that can help digest it and everything else starves. and then when i eat everything else again, the bacteria that is able to help digest it will settle in my gut once again. no good stuff is lost, there can never be shortage of bacteria, your judgement is clouded by the unnatural limitation you are used from currency systems.

>It's worse than fasting when done wrong too because the amount of sugars coupled with gut agitators such as caffeine can actually trick the gut in to working hard, but working hard against nothing. It's unnecessary stress and entanglement on the system.


coffee is what fools drink so they can meet the deadline their boss decided for them. i don't think it is unnecessary stress, drinking only juice is bringing the human organism closer to the state it was evolved to thrive in. for the modern human it is an unusual relaxation and eating bread, pasta, pizza and other factory food is the unnecessary stress.

>>311534
The digestive tract needs solid food within it in order for its digestive movements to work properly. If mostly liquid, soft matter, or mucous is being digested, there is no resistance when the muscles perform. This forces the tract to overwork by trying harder to move matter that is just sloshing around. Vascularity of the tract benefits from this solid resistance too. Basically, the human digestive system is highly optimized for solid waste, and when you only feed it liquid and / or take agitators such as caffeine that forces to mucous membranes to hyperact and soften what solid food you've eaten, you're just inflicting upon regular function. The muscles responsible for digestion don't need a "break" just as the muscles that make up the heart don't. They'll still be working all the same but with reduced efficiency. Consider how muscles fall apart when someone is in Zero-G for a while. The same applies to removing resistance in the digestive tract.

If you want to do good for your digestive system, just stop poisoning it and get your fill of pre- and probiotics. Fasting is only good for expelling dead bacteria and giving new good bacteria room to flourish. Juicing is good for nothing.

>That saging "uuh actually" guy mentioned South Park so I'm not reading anything he types

uuuh actually that was me, not the saging guy, i must have clicked on sage instead of noko by accident, read it you hoe, southpark was edgy once.

hmm i've done quite a few experiments with varying nutrition over the years and i never encountered the ideas you speak of where digestional muscles are not getting enough exercise. in nature during different seasons, different food is available and you mean to tell me if something isn't chewey enough my digestional system could decrease to a point where it could not increase again when the food becomes available again? i don't believe this is true. my approach to digestion is different, i don't think digestional muscles require babysitting. i've subjected myself to g-forces, heavy accelleration and decelleration, prolonged vibration, rotational forces. i try to stir up my body and exercise and sweat at least a few times every week. also i've heard stories of people who don't even have a digestional system anymore and survived by drinking olive oil through their skin.

however i do respect the idea that all muscles need to be used in order to promote lymphatic flow.

the muscles don't need a break but i do believe the idea that the digestional tract appeciates a break does hold up. apparently some people have the inner bowel walls so "caked" up with hard to digest matter that when juice flows through it, it is like a power wash. eggs are glue, ever fried an egg without fat? it sticks so hard it makes you want to throw away the pan. what makes you think your body doesn't glue shut when you eat an egg? also i believe people can be "behind on schedule" on their digestion, especially when you account for the ridiculously long digestion times some foods require. the entire gi tract becomes a complicated balancing act when the wrong food is eaten. the gi tract tries to draw the energy out of the food, which takes a lot of time because the modern wrong food is so dense, so dry and so sticky. so it has to work on this load but when it takes too long, it starts to rot while still in the body, which i believe to be a much more pressing concern then muscles not getting exercise.

They're connected through the m2 sockets, no cables. It's a secondhand B460-I motherboard I've been using for 3 years now. There are no extra m2 ports, I would need to purchase a cable to test it out. I just did a disc cleanup and the problem persists, so it's definitely not windows. It also happened when I transferred files using linux.

From The Genius of Christianity, or Beauties of the Christian Religion (French: Le Génie du christianisme, ou Beautés de la religion chrétienne) a work by the French author François-René de Chateaubriand, written during his exile in England in the 1790s as a defense of the Catholic faith, then under attack during the French Revolution.-

—-
In man, virginity assumes the character of sublimity. When, in the fierce rebellion of the passions, it resists the invitation to evil, it becomes a celestial virtue. "A chaste heart," says St. Bernard, "is by virtue what an angel is by nature. There is more felicity in the purity of the angel, but there is more courage in that of the man."

Plato, without wife and children, seated on the steps of a temple at the extremity of a cape lashed by the waves, and there lecturing to his disciples on the existence of God, exhibits a far more elevated character. He belongs not to the earth; he seems to be one of those spirits or higher intelligences of whom he speaks in his writings.

Thus, virginity, ascending from the last link in the chain of beings up to man, soon passes from man to the angels, and from the angels to God, in whom it is absorbed. God reigns in a glory unique, inimitable in the eternal firmament, as the sun, his image, shines with unequalled splendor in the visible heavens.

We may conclude that poets and men even of the most refined taste can make no reasonable objection to the celibacy of the priesthood, since virginity is among the cherished recollections of the past, is one of the charms of friendship, is associated with the solemn thought of the tomb, with the innocence of childhood, with the enchantment of youth, with the charity of the religious, with the sanctity of the priest and of old age, and with the divinity in the angels and in God himself.

the debt crisis isn't really a crisis, we just need to raise taxes on the wealthy. Every time the republicans cry about the deficit they always focus on government programs they want to cut. Stuff like social security that is extremely important to helping average people get by. They studiously ignore the other side of the equation which is tax revenue. You can cut the deficit only so much by cutting various government programs, especially when they continue to do their pork barrel shit as they always do. Republicans spend just as much as democrats, they just try to give the wealthy a tax break as they do it which is what adds to the deficit and the overall debt. They then use the debt as a propaganda tool to dismantle social programs that serve to make people poorer, more desperate, and more easy for them to exploit. Don't fall for this shit. The answer is simple. Tax the wealthy. That is the one and only true solution to the debt crisis.

That's a very convenient thing to believe if you're someone who can't fathom other men succeeding where you yourself have failed. I've been here for years and know of 4 examples of guys who posted photos of their homelessness and went on to make excellent cases for how they endured and even enjoyed it. The 5th guy I know who did this is myself. Then there's the further testimonials from anonymages who affirmed that being permanently out-and-about isn't so bad when you've got a sound mind and body.

if you don't leave it anywhere you can drive around on it, though i agree with everything you said. computers were so nice before apps.

i like mine because i keep it in my car and when i don't find a parking space near my house i can park far away and use the scooter to drive home. cities were such a mistake. the idea to make them livable is fundamentally misguided, humans were never meant to live in density, it is an abomination.
