I think there have been a few mass consciousness experiments that have demonstrated some interesting results.

I pretty much never do this, but I liked Cloud Atlas so much that I bought the book today. Hopefully it will be awesome.

I'll peep this:

Any of you faggots watching The Walking Dead with me?

I'm watching The Mummy.

For what it's worth, the Intrade lines on the election are officially nuts. Unfortunately, I don't have my account funded, but it's got some guys with deep pockets betting Romney.

Romney is at 33% on Intrade, and around 25% at pretty much every other site, so even if you think Romney is going to win, there are arb opportunities all over.

[edit: And I should add that people who pay careful attention to the poll aggregators are setting the line around 90% for Obama.]

So I didn't even realize today was election day until I saw it on Yahoo. Had no clue. Does that make me a bad American?

I have officially been vegan+ no sugar + no wheat for 2 full weeks. Observations:

1) I am rich. It is super cheap eating beans and oatmeal and not eating out.
2) It is not hard. I like it and I think I am going to make it permanent with a few modifications.
3) I feel fucking great. I am bouncing off the walls with energy and sleeping really well. It might just be placebo, but there is noticeable difference.
4) I am skinny. I have lost 11 pounds in 14 days.
5) I shit a lot, and I haven't seen a log in the toilet since October 22.
6) Lentils are an amazing super food. I love them and they are delicious, cheap, and nutritious.

So far, veganism is a win.

It only makes you a bad american if you use that as a reason not to vote. And then, only if you later act like you did vote. I got this thing in the mail the other day that had all my neighbors on it and whether they voted in 2008 and 2010. To my surprise only me and 1 other person on the list of about 10 or 15 had voted.

3) I am not suprised by this. Jon Fitch almost went Vegan. He only eats meat a couple times a week. He says he feels like he is 20 again energy wise.
5) When I eat a lot of veges I notice the same thing. I think it is because meat takes so long to digest. No logs? What do you mean? Your shit isn't solid? Please explain that one.
6) Do you worry about not getting any specific nutrients? Do you think you can become deficient in any?

5) I just have loose stool. Not diarrhea, but no solid solid logs of shit.
6) No. I am getting way more variety now than I was before. I am eating a lot of greens, cruciferous veggies, beans and nuts. But I also eat oats, brown rice, quinoa, and barley. I can't imagine what I would be missing- maybe calcium because no dairy, but I think legumes have calcium too.

Dairy is actually a bad way to get calcium. That calcium in dairy is added after the fact. I think it was added in during the 50's to help decrease the number of people with rickets. Milk actually does something to stop calcium absorbtion.

I looked it up. Greens are the best source of calcium.
