And if you think this is something linked to far right,

Eugenics were very popular with both nazis in Germany and fascists in Italy, to the extent that sterilizing and even killing "defective" people was practiced. I think nazis and fascists were far right.

I am not saying you are far right, but your views would be welcomed by those with eugenics worldviews.

Your problem is the lectins present in rice, not yeast - and you confirmed it yourself by saying that it doesn't happen with potatoes. Yeast doesn't care whether the starch is in rice or potatoes.

With celiac disease, your gut lining is thinner than with normal people, so you are far more sensitive to gluten and other lectins. Basically, lectins "leak" into your bloodstream through your gut. This happens with healthy people, too, just that they have less prominent symptoms as their lining is thicker and gluten will "only" thin it but not entirely compromise it.

Look up leaky gut syndrome. After some research you may find that you ought to avoid most plant-based food, like I do.

It might be a psychological thing. If you leave work and get into your car, the work day is done. But if you take public transport, it kind of feels like you're only really done when you get to your front door.

Interesting, I see it almost the exact opposite - when I am in public transport I can do a lot of things like relax, read a book, watch a video, etc. In a car, I have to drive, which oftentimes isn't relaxing. I have seen the traffic in some US cities, and I don't think that's even remotely relaxing (that said, there are cities, especially in California, where I just couldn't live at all).

So for me the time in public transport is more mine than the job's. But what is 100% MY time is when I bicycle to and from work. I enjoy it so much, it's truly mine.

Comment I'm hate where the 21st century is heading. (Score 1) 122

There hasn't been a shadow of a doubt in my mind that we're headed to idiocracy. The average IQ in my (north-European) country is steadily declining, and it seems the same thing is true for North America. I really hope Japan will make a last stand and this BS won't get in - even if Windows 10 already has.
