  • Structural Fasting is a dieting aid yes, i am not in disagreement of such.

    Your source details many structural ways to do this but none are having a single large meal in the evening every day.

    Of course memes are subjective but i am part of communities where this type of meme is very common and the behavior understood as a symptom of not great mental health. The top comment here actually echoed the original. “I am shaking, i guess i forgot to eat again”.

    You have me again at carbs, i know they are bullshit but that is a common misconception from people who don’t suffer this. People assume this one meal is “normal” and in proportion of a single meal while in reality its a bag of potato chips, fried meat and whatever is still left in the snack drawer. For me, also include an ungodly amount of sugary energy drinks to stay operational during the day.

    Its generally not a problem one should desire.










  • I recognize that this is a very different angle but there is a global trend for free open source software which are non profit by design.

    Of course this basically means you need to be a developer and than there is still the question about how to survive within economic society.

    I doubt you want to live from donations coming from where you are now.

    The sweet spot, which might be viable for you is an open source devision within a for profit company. Many industries have started to understand the massive value of open source software and standards. Companies like redhat build open source tools on one side but then sell industry tailored packages and support to enterprises for profit. Even Nvidia has started to open source some level of their drivers because they realized that enthusiast will often improve on those for zero costs.

    I imagine in some of those divisions its just like a normal company with not just devs but all kinda of roles your direct product will be used by the for profit stuff but also be free for everyone else out there that might need it.


  • The tldr for this is Neurodiversity

    Almost all disabilities exist only within the context of a culture. They are a human applied label.

    I recon most disabled people can do more advanced complex tasks than any animal/pet. Yet we do don’t think of our pets as disabled.

    We are all born with a useless appendix, which can potentially burst and kill us. If someone was born without. Would we all have a disability compared to them.

    Someone with only one arm is considered disabled, extra fingers? If its not the default it’s considered disabled.

    Now imagine a humanoid alien race with only 1 arm and a hand with 6 fingers. And imagine what their keyboards may look like. A normal human in their society would be considered disabled. Not because you cant use the keyboard but because you would struggle using a tool not designed for you.

    Now the reason why you still want a diagnosis even when you agree with the above is simple. Society has not evolved this perspective. We can accommodate almost all disabilities but they key to getting that help is by first bureaucratically “registering” yourself as disabled by a medical professional.
