DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: why would your body be working so damn hard to absorb fat if it didn't want the fat?

You got five organs all working in concert just to absorb fat.  

Stomach starts breaking things down.  

Your liver makes bile.

Your gallbladder stores that bile.  

Bile is used to break down and emulsify that fat. 

Pancreas makes lipase and other enzymes to break that down further, and then the bile gets absorbs that with the bile in your small intestine.  

So why would your body be working so damn hard to absorb fat if it didn't want the fat?  If that was bad for you, all it had to do was just turn one of those things off. Just don't make bile.  You're never absorbing fat.  If that were so bad for us, why wouldn't have nature taken care of that?  

REFORMED AND DANGEROUS: St. Patrick wasn’t a mascot for green beer. He was a missionary who returned to the people who enslaved him… to preach Christ. We turned him into a party. He gave his life to the gospel.

LEONARDA JONIE: I cannot describe the level of seething hatred coming off this AZTEC-AMERICAN

This is grim and true. Every experience easily confirms this.

I walked into a Walmart today in Texas and I asked the greeter where the nail clippers were. My first mistake was assuming that a Walmart greeter in Texas could speak English. He looked at me like a confused animal that didn't realize anyone could see him. So I headed in the direction of where I thought nail clippers were and found them, locked behind glass. My second mistake was assuming this was going to be an easy process. I looked around for the employee who could unlock the glass. Another employee, another Mexican, stocking the shelves pointed him out to me as I would never have figured out this person worked there. I walked over to him and POLITELY asked him if he could unlock the glass. I cannot describe the level of seething hatred coming off this AZTEC-AMERICAN. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me with pure, unadulturated hatred as if I had just interrupted his life by asking him to do LITERALLY HIS JOB. So great was his anger that he didn't even answer me. He just stopped what he was doing, looked at his phone to check the time and make sure he was still on the clock, and then walked over, opened the gate, allowed me to grab my nail clipper, closed the gate and walked back off without saying anything. Well, he didn't say anything OUT LOUD. But this man made his thoughts known very clearly on his face. The only thing keeping these people from openly murdering us is the SEMBLANCE of civilization that still exists. And the only reason he felt that way was because he clocked me as a WHITE WOMAN and therefore, his racial enemy.

CHASE HUGHES: if you think the brain is going to win versus a trillion-dollar computer, you're an idiot. Human beings we don't have a firewall.

 
If anyone listening . . . if you think the brain is going to win versus a trillion-dollar computer, you're an idiot.  I'll just say that.  Human beings we don't have a firewall.  Like we can't download anti-malware for ourselves.  That's why I'm just on this massive campaign to say like you need to spend time on social media as you possibly can and as little time doom scrolling shorts.  And I say this as a guy who publishes.  I don't know how much money team puts out, but I think it's two or three shorts per day.  But they're at least they're educational. Really curate what gets your attention.  If anyone listening if you think your brain is going to win versus a $1-trillion dollar computer, you're an idiot. I'll just say that.  Pretending to have all of my stuff together and I've got an 8-ft pile of laundry back at home, so we'll kind of project a lot.  So confidence is never, ever, ever something that we do. It's something that we are. It's an internal state of safety, safety, non-performance . . . .  Just these three things: I feel safe, I'm not performing, and I have a generalized expectations that things are going to pretty much be okay no matter what.  Those are the three elements of confidence. 

DON'T F*CK WITH ME . . . BITCH
