Looking forward to getting a Pinetime. It might not be polished, but community support never truly ends.

I don't even know where to begin unraveling this bad take. You should at least start by reading an intro to nutrition book or something, sounds like you've been drinking a lot of unscientific koolaid.

Low carb diets have been consistently shown to only cause short-term weight loss, followed by even greater weight gain if the person even bothers to adhere to the diet long term in the first place. This is in addition to the fact that low carb diets lead to a lower lifespan.

Technically this is true, but in practice strict calorie deficit diets don't work for most people. To be in a calorie deficit state is a state of starvation, and most people's entire biological drives rail against it. What usually happens with these kinds of diets is the person will do well for a time, but the constant starving will drive them to either start unconsciously sneaking in more sources of calories, or they'll outright rebound into eating even more than they did before.

Sustainable weight loss ultimately comes down to living healthy by default.

Why are the animal's choices never considered in this equation? Freedom is something the west places a high value on, but it's generally agreed that freedom should never go so far as to harm others, yet your "freedom" to choose what to eat is resulting in a horrifying sort of perpetual holocaust.

Why is your fleeting sensory pleasure (something that can be had just as easily from plants) more important than the entire lives and wellbeing of all the animals you paid to have killed?

Yeah but the aesthetic!

PGP/GPG. I would like to see the web of trust take off. Also I love the aesthetic for anything that's been signed, and would like to see blog posts everywhere be nested by long blocks of random symbols.

And to add to all this, the company that maintains Brave is run by a well known anti-lgbtq bigot.
