  • I should not be entertaining bait, but here goes:

    Gut biome is important to many things with our bodies. I agree.

    But to say that a lifelong neurological affliction is caused by a “bad gut biome” is disinformation, at best.

    It’s a slippery fucking slope once someone claims “x causes y” with no absolute conclusion. Once a scientific study comes out saying that “ADHD is caused by xyz”, I’ll take that into consideration.

    Sick as fuck of people claiming that my neurological disorder can be CURED by keto or diet or some shit. We can live make healthier choices in order to make managing ADHD easier, but, no, it’s never been proven to be caused by fucking gut biome or whatever. If it’s proven otherwise in the future, I’ll accept that. Fine. Cool.

    But for now? No. Find me an actual fucking cure, and then I’ll stop being angry about shitty disinformation.








  • I watched the entire video. Guy is talking about how water bottles have become nothing more than trendy fashion. Not too much about any design flaws, other than maybe the bottles getting dented.

    That said, I got mine before the trend. As an avid water-drinker who has tried many many bottles prior: it’s legitimately a fantastic water bottle! It’s easy as fuck to clean, multiple drinking options, has NEVER popped open in my bag and soaked all my shit, and a bunch of other shit.

    I like it. Love it, actually. If more people get them, cool. If they don’t, that’s fine. Seems like the dude is more mad at people hopping on collecting trends. I get that. It’s marketing. Sure. However, that said, it’s a fantastically functional water bottle that I have recommended to anybody who expresses interest in a bottle.


  • Stanley is peepeepoopoo, imo. Know what works? An actually good, functional product.

    If you need a good water bottle, get an owala. I’ve had mine for like 4 years. Has a carry handle, push button opening that is protected by the handle so it won’t randomly pop open, pour OR straw-free sip option, comes in a bunch of sizes, etc.

    I’m not a shill, I swear. I’m just a random doofus who used to have a problem with dehydration. I DO NOT endorse products lightly, but owala is a fucking winner for me.


  • I could not walk for more than 5 minutes without excruciating pain. I finally asked to be taken to the hospital after a back spasm that had me bash my face after a fall.

    Went to the hospital. Was diagnosed with “mild scoliosis” and “anxiety” and sent home with stronger than average Tylenol. Was bedridden for nearly 2 months. Lost my job. Got other appointments for GP. Looked and said I needed a specialist. I could not afford a specialist, as I was now out of money. They shrugged and wished me luck.

    I was forced to stay like this for nearly 2 full years.

    When I was on the verge of killing myself, someone offered to pay for a chiropractor. I didn’t care. I had nothing to lose.

    Anyhow, long story short, guy found that my spine had been forcefully lodged into my pelvis and stuck there. Dude had me healed in week.

    This is NOT an endorsement for chiropractors— this is a testament to the failure of the healthcare system. I could not see anyone, so my desperation led me there.

    I still have back issues. But I can walk again and be touched without pain.
