Coining a new term - "thought storm". A storm of thoughts on the same subject lasting 1 to 48 hours. Usually accompanied by a change in mood. Like storm clouds taking over the mind.

Different from rumination in that it is a temporary surge instead of a long-lasting concern and that it can be positive as well (e.g., a thought storm about about a performance that went well).

@TheFP @magattew "Africa" - you realize Africa is a continent with multiple countries in it that each have their own laws, correct?

@TheRealMenToo This is the unfortunate reality. Men are asked to be more vulnerable but most men have a history of facing consequences when they have done so. The negative repercussions come from both females and males.

@benblumenrose Not new but a great read if you haven't: Permutation City.

I wish more people would optimize for nutrient density and diversity over macros. Treat macros as guardrails.
