Movie Night

.
It's 8:00pm so it's time to take my evening vitamin suplements of Melatonin (to promote sleepiness), Magnesium (for relaxation), and Vitamin D. Since I've stopped drinking a few days ago, falling asleep has become a huge challenge without the aid of alcohol. Then it's time to make some popcorn and sit down to watch a movie on Netflix.

I've done the dishes and the house is tidy. I want to make a point of having the house in order at all times, as a clean living environment aids in having a clean working mind.

Dimming the lights is not only for watching the movie but also for further Melatonin production, as the dimming light signals to the brain that it is soon time to prepare for sleep, just as the setting of the sun does to the body naturally. (The rising sun, and that light you can detect through your closed eyelids, signals to the body to produce Seratonin, which is the chemical to make you wake up). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've rolled up a joint for after the movie is finished, as well as having some hot chocolate & cookies ready to make before bed. I've smoked weed for decades (I'm 55) and it has never been a problem for me - unless I'm really drunk and smoke up, then it sends me into a dizzying crash. Usually I smoke only a half a joint per day, right before bed, although on crappy rainy or snowy days off work I could be talked into smoking one and couch surfing the day away. As it sits, I'm going for "California Sober" for the time being. I struggle with falling asleep so much, a half a joint before bed seems a much better choice than sleeping pills - or a 6 pack of strong beer (8%) which is my usual fare.

Bed-time! It's about 11:00pm now and hopefully I've made myself sufficiently drowsy to fall asleep. I'm only a few days in and my body has not adjusted to sleeping without alcohol. In fact, I've only been able to get between zero and three hours sleep since I began a few days ago. It will improve. It's just a phase my body is going through until my natural circadium rythym reasserts itself. This is one of those "triggers" that keeps one dependent on alcohol.

For a while now I've been paying attention to my sleeping environment. I keep my bedroom rather cool and I love it this way. It makes my nice warm bed a special, comforting retreat. I bought a set of high quality sheets a while back for $160 and let me tell you, it really makes a difference! Also, I make sure to have all the lights out so as not to inhibit REM sleep while turning on my TV to a YouTube channel which provides 10 to 12 hours of the sounds of heavy rain and thunder with a blacked out screen. My favourite channel is called the "sleeprelaxchannel". Not only do these sounds help me drift off to sleep but they have the added benefit of drowning out the snoring of my fat-ass neighbour through the thin walls of this 1980's apartment building. Without the TV on this way, I get so mad listening to Piggy Grunty McSnort sleeping while I cannot, that I fantasize punching a hole through the wall and strangling him with my bare hands. Thus, there are multiple benefits to playing the sounds of a thunderstorm while I'm sleeping.

Non-plastic straws the latest example of climate activism's unintended and deadly consequences

.
.
Last week, a widely read study was published revealing that the "plant-based" drinking straws pushed onto diners by eco-activists may actually be more harmful to both the environment and public health than their plastic counterparts.

According to research published in the journal Food Additives & Contaminants, the "plant-based straws" in question contain "per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)," which the scientists say are "not necessarily biodegradable and that the use of such straws potentially contributes to human and environmental exposure of PFAS."

Environmentalists call PFAS "forever chemicals" because they take a long time to break down. PFAS chemicals are a class of chemicals used to make products grease proof, water proof, stick-proof, and stain-resistant. According to Clean Water Action, they are added to a wide range of everyday products such as food packaging for pizza boxes, food wrappers, and take-out containers, non-stick pans, and even personal care products like dental floss, mascara, foundation, menstrual underwear. 

The National Cancer Institute, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has classified PFAS as "a possible human carcinogen based in part on limited epidemiologic evidence of associations with cancers of the kidney and testis in heavily exposed subjects." Clean Water action concurs, adding that "very small doses of PFAS increase the risk of a wide variety of health problems, including kidney and testicular cancer, liver problems, high cholesterol, and immunosuppression."

Is this the reason for the ‘woke mind virus’?



An underrated factor in the woke tsunami sweeping through today’s youth is their change in diet. Because they are all desperate to be seen doing their bit to save the planet, they love green virtue-signaling. That means they go vegan – more than 19 million Americans are on a “plant-based diet” – and, crucially, avoid eating meat or drinking milk. They look down on the rest of us who dare to eat a steak or make a coffee with dairy creamer as nature-killing bigots.

That means they must find product substitutes for meat and milk in their diets. These substitutes generally taste terrible – such is the sacrifice of a young liberal. Instead of meat, they often eat synthetic patties made of various questionable chemicals. And instead of milk, they drink all kinds of other things which often hurt the planet even more than cows – and don’t make a nice coffee.

One ingredient crops up several times in the diet of a woke young vegan: soy.

Soy is used to make fake steaks and is a primary ingredient in other meat substitutes like tofu and tempeh. It is also one of the most popular milk substitutes. That means the young vegans also eat soy cheese, butter, cream, and so on. These days, you can even buy soy nuts to eat out of a bag. The woke generation relies on soy for almost everything. It is their sustenance.

Soy is significant because the science around it is profoundly worrying. It is favored by the left, but some research suggests it might have unintended health consequences.

You might have heard the term ‘soy boy.’ It refers to this type of person – the young, green virtue-signaler – who carries unusual characteristics, such as inflated femininity, which some allege is down to low testosterone levels.

...respondents reported substantial BMI reduction and improvements in physical and mental well-being, overall health, and numerous chronic medical conditions. Respondents with diabetes reported special benefit, including greater weight loss than the overall group, and marked reductions in diabetes medication usage and HbA1c—notable findings in view of the generally low success of lifestyle interventions for obesity and diabetes

This Butt's For You

Go Woke, Go Broke: Country music
