I was joking with you about locusts being kosher and then switching to the OP to ask for more credible sources. I wasn't attacking anyone or accusing anyone of spreading false information. Furthermore I already apologized that I didn't mean to cause offense....what more do you want from me...

Sugar gives you an energy spike because it is the most easily metabolized form of energy. It may be good if you need to perk up right now (e.g. while driving) but if you need constant energy over an hour, going for energy sources that are a bit more difficult to metabolize would give you steady...

@chevyontheriver - I was joking about the Kosher thing, it wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular. @chevyontheriver - After which, I didn't state it explicitly although I believed the change was obvious, that I was addressing the OP to kindly provide references and that the video he...

Sorry, didn't mean to cause offense, was just stating facts.

On a lighter note, locusts are kosher because when locusts are on the menu, nothing else is (left to eat) On a more serious note, Youtube is not such a good source of unbiased information. 13 seconds in Infowars was cited...which falsely claimed the Sandy Hook shootings were a hoax. InfoWars -...

I can't tell you what would work for you, but I can tell you what works for me. I've never had a problem with my weight, thankfully. Exercise! Build muscle which increases your basal metabolic rate. Do a combination of aerobic and strength exercises. If there are stairs in your building, run up...

I'm not from the US or Germany so I wouldn't know. I made that post as a light-hearted quip about how others in the world perceive US policing when we read about yet another police shooting of an innocent person. As a Jew I am all too aware of Germany's dark history, but of the antagonists of...

Of course another theory is that Trump is also corrupt.

He's under active investigation and anything he says can be used against him.

Hey Michael, nice to e-meet you! Hope your time here is a blessing in every way.

For man to exercise judgments for selfish reasons is probably wrong. To exercise judgments for the benefit of others, perhaps not. When Abraham interceded for Sodom in a conversation with God (Genesis 18), it was after he had to rescue Lot from Sodom (Genesis 14). So he had reasons to hold a...

Here's a theory. Perhaps on this Earth, which God put Man as stewards over with free will, we have room to exercise our own judgments on matters, to show mercy or justice and to even disagree with God's judgments. The latter may sound like heresy, but recall the conversation between Abraham...

Ezekiel 18:20 A son will not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for the son’s guilt; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. Deuteronomy 23:2 No one born of a forbidden...

Have you thought about trying to take a social media break? Try going on for one week without social media - uninstall the apps on your phone. Commit to reading the Bible first thing in the morning when you wake up, and see how you feel after a week. An interesting talk by a neuroscientist:

‎There may not be, but people make decisions in life based on incomplete information, including statistical correlations without an established causal relationship. Or to just try something and see if it works for you. In my OP, I said "Perhaps", suggesting that people with anxiety/depression...

Correct, but correlation points researchers to examine the relationship further and objectively look for a causal relationship. This is still an area of active research. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02673843.2019.1590851 The impact of social media use on incidence of...

Some friends of mine grew up in religious homes, which also frowned on the world's vices and had parents snooping on their kids. Of those friends, a portion of them felt smothered by religion, hypocrisy and rules that the pendulum swung the other way - they ended up with totally secular...

The Israelites cried out to God, and God rescued them from slavery. Generally people who leave their countries do so because they have to, i.e. immigrants of necessity. We too will leave our mortal bodies, and our spirits kind will have to find a new home. We should also be sympathetic to...

Should the Israelites have stayed in Egypt because Egypt was clearly deriving economic benefit from them? What if the people want to leave their country? Back when I was a graduate student I shared an office with an Indian postdoc. He was from one of the lower castes and knew that there will...
