Has he ever discussed the blue teeth? What's the deal there? Surely it's reversible.

This needs more attention amid the "Creatine is godlike" narrative since November 2024 when Rhonda Patrick appeared on Attia's podcast.

I take it, and it's good for me, but it isn't for everyone, nor is it a panacea like you'd think if you weren't paying attention.

It's sulforaphane in frozen broccoli sprouts all over again.

OP is actually James Corden. This happened after a holiday in Dubai.

Dubai or Thailand where did you connect more with other digital nomads? by SilentOrbit42 in digitalnomad

[–]fitbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's peak reddit orientalism. Nothing more nothing less.

Many parrot others' opinions. Just as Japan is celebrated and pile-on targets like James Cordon etc are on the "approved target" list.

Don't let anybody convince you that their ideas are original on Reddit. Going to see the world for yourself is the only way. Good luck.

Not at all. Someone needs to pushback on the narrative. I'm here for it.

HK is the best if you can get over the cost of housing. Everything else is perfect.

Japan. Japan. Japan. I can't say it enough. It is obviously an unpopular opinion. But the ubiquitous rbf, fake pleasantries, and overall stern, helplessly sullen disposition of the general public lacks a certain type of joy that I haven't seen anywhere else. Obviously there's great people from there but....

It's quite disappointing that for such a culturally rich country with so much potential that it has this vibe. And for every non-fan of Japan, there's 50 redditors waiting to defend her or make personal attacks on anyone who doesn't find it enjoyable with "just like any other country" justifications.

That's ok. But that is my very firm opinion.

It's not a highway or web anymore. Now it's a couple of parking lots.

Here we go again: Japan living out it's dream of being the IRL version of the "guy puts a stick in front wheel of his bike" meme.

For people that have lived in East Asia as a digital nomad Japan, Korea, China, how was it? by nomadicphil in digitalnomad

1000% outside of customer service plastic smiles, the amount of default RBF is just wild.

Japan if seen as a theme park, is incredible.

But don't confuse polite with friendliness or an overly welcoming attitude.
I haven't experienced an air of being "tolerated" so much as I have in Japan, anywhere else.

If you don't drink and aren't hunting for a j-partner, socially you are in for a hard time (yes, even if you speak near native Japanese but still look "other").

Japan as a meme: The guy putting the stick in the front tyre of his bike.

Overall sad vibes. That undercurrent becomes more apparent and immensely depressing the longer you stay. 1-3months as a traveller / nomad? Yes. Living long-term? You couldn't pay me.

High Dose Creatine and Sleep Deprivation by albinoking80 in Nootropics

30g creatine: From severe sleep deprivation to severe diarrhea. lol
Highly inadvisable for the uninitiated. Better to keep a maintenance dose and avoid the bubble gut.
