I'm so fucking sick of being broke. I don't care how conceited or entitled this sounds, but there's no good fucking reason I should be working ~12–16hr/d, 6-7d/wk, for an entire fucking year, on something this valuable and still have tattered clothes, shoes falling apart, an empty fridge, no money for transportation, medications I can't refill, no money for basic business equipment, etc.
I pour my heart and soul, day after day, into something users and testers constantly tell me makes their lives better and easier. I sell it for PEANUTS, undercutting the competition by 60–80%, because I'm not greedy and don't ask for much. I love doing it, but I can't stock my fridge on vibes.
I've been in my overdraft since summer, my credit card's been maxed for nearly a year, and I'm starting to consider parting with sentimental belongings (like my late grandmother's guitar) just to keep productivity afloat. I'm just fucking broke, all the fucking time, and can't afford basic dignity.
I can utterly promise you all that what I'm building would fundamentally change personal health tracking and shatter existing paradigms in that domain overnight if it reached full-scale release (which it's 100% poised to do if money wasn't an issue). Making that promise while also being unable to afford food or medications shakes me to my fucking core with revulsion at the state of our system and how it manages and rewards talent.
I just straight up deserve better, particularly from the government. They should be supporting high-volume, high-value, and highly productive people like me, but they're utterly fucking it up. They'd straight up toss me overboard and let me go homeless before properly helping me. As far as I'm concerned, they're the only ones truly failing me here.
The above sentiment is partly what makes posts like this so hard to write; it's nobody else's problem. My only hope is that good people who believe in me and my vision for this project are kind enough to make it their problem and help me. I just want the constant financial suffering to fucking end already, and I'm so sick of finances blocking my progress at every turn.
If you can help, I'd appreciate it:

FINALLY - THE CASE IS CLOSED - embarrassment that this faulty study was ever published but now is buried where it belongs, in the dust bin of medical nonsense @nationallipid @foundationofnla @society_eas @ASPCardio @escardio @atherosociety @TheEndoSociety @FamilyHeartFdn @fhpatienteurope #cholesterol

Them: ApoB didn't correlate with plaque progression.
Us: Wait...that wasn't your preregistered primary outcome.
Them: Plaque begets plaque
Us: Wait...your study shows LMHRs have historically high plaque progression.
Them: The data is wrong because our vendor sucks.
Us: Why did you go on a historic marketing campaign and produce a documentary?
Them: We retracted our paper. All good.
Us : That's not how this works.
Some of you may have noticed that my YouTube content is gone. It's not actually gone, it's just been moved! I recently migrated all my YouTube content to my site, available to members for just $3.99/mo (along with all the other perks). ❤️✌️

When do collagen supplements actually work for skin (even when calorie and protein matched by % and gram/kg)? When the skin is burned.
Why? Most plausibly because a major burn creates an enormous acute requirement for new collagen deposition during the proliferative phase of healing. It's quite possibly the single most taxing type of injury when it comes to increasing collagen synthesis demand.
Then suddenly you see everything you want in a collagen trial. Not just statistical significance, but very strong and clinically meaningful effect sizes.
And notice how there's no circle jerking around with mechanistic elasticity/hydration proxies masquerading as outcomes, no fake numbers, no misclassification of studies to hide industry funding required.
When it comes to burns, none of the bullshit is needed to pretend it works. It just works.
Hey y'all! We're almost at the finish line! After a whole year, and probably ~1K commits and ~200,000 lines of code later, Enaychi (formerly nutriDex) is nearing its V1 release on the Google Play Store! Basically, Enaychi is an all-in-one tracker for nutrition, exercise, medications, biometrics, with support for fitness devices.
Features: source.uprootnutrition.com/u…
Web-app: enaychi.com
But, here's where I could use your help!
There's still a lot more to do! I'm planning to integrate a massive nutrition database covering 1.4 million foods and 600+ nutrients/compounds, with the goal of Enaychi basically just deprecating all other trackers over night. I'm also developing this app entirely on my own. AI tools have been invaluable in accelerating development, but the costs just rack up like a motherfucker, and I burn through my current AI subscriptions in a matter of days. This means I spend a shit ton of the development time hand-coding, which takes fucking forever and needlessly keeps the app out of users hands longer.
I'm hoping to raise ~$300 for a Claude Max 20 subscription ($600 would be ideal for a couple months worth if needed) to help accelerate development and get these features into your hands sooner. I'm personally committed to funding this project by selling personal possessions, but any community support would make a genuine difference. ❤️
If you believe in what I'm building and can spare a few dollars, I'd be incredibly grateful! ❤️

This is basically how every macro planner should look. This is a macro planner done sensibly. You can literally do whatever the fuck you want with this. Want protein in g/kg and carbs as a percentage? You got it; made easy with the backfill feature. It's just so based. 👌

This is sad. As much as I get upset at the zealots, I do feel bad for people who get indoctrinated in this bullshit 😕
I regret to inform my community that my debate opponent, CarnivorePolice (aka StormblessedJ), has passed away. Claimed by schizophrenia; according to a family member who reached out, his condition compelled him to eat only ground beef, and he died of nutritional complications. 🕯️

Full support for the Mosquito Genocide.
Went to see the new Resident Evil movie last night. I'd give it 4/10. All four of those points were claimed by the cinematography. Otherwise, fuck that movie, lmfao.
