Obsidian is the platform I use*. Everything is stored locally (don't have to worry about google scanning your drive for wrongthink) and markdown files so you don't have to worry about proprietary formats. The concept you are looking for is sometimes called building a second brain (book by same name by thiago forte, but the videos should give enough of an idea) or a personal knowledge base. I have an extension that syncs my kindle clippings to my obsidian database, where I can review them, delete them, or otherwise organize them. Otherwise I just make notes for anything that occurs to me and search for it if I need to. A lot of people get more elaborate with their systems.
For quotes I've liked I have kept spreadsheets and in the past made screensavers. Currently I just make an anki flashcard which means I will be exposed to each quote more often and then less often. I haven't brought nearly as many things as I should into anki, however. I downloaded an app that can put a quote on one widget page of your phone, which sounds great but it doesn't have any way to upload new quotes in bulk so I don't actually use it anymore. I'm not going to phone keyboard retype my favorite quotes.
*In the past I used Notion, Evernote, Google Drive.

In every one of those situations she's moving away from her base.
My guess is that the word "consensus" tested well with the base as the thing to say to justify the change.
So yes, that base is women but otherwise "consensus" has nothing to do with the actual decision making process.

I don't think a scientific response is what you are looking for but....
It seems from animal models that growth hormone increases growth speed but not where you end up? Not sure why you hope this is a silver bullet. People are probably dismissive because it doesn't seem to be something that is currently possible. It is of course possible there is an unknown mechanism, but that wouldn't be helpful advice, either. Most men reach their peak height by 16. I certainly wouldn't suggest anyone on an internet forum follow a medical intervention (as you are suggesting with a combination of HGH plus "something to keep the growth plates open") if that medical intervention doesn't actually exist as a testable efficacious thing.
I don't think this is culture war related contempt, like you are implying, but rather just people thinking people are asking for something unreasonable. Like if I went on a similar forum and asked what I could do to turn my eyes purple. In the future, there might be a safe way to inject pigment into the iris or similar, but for now people would tell me to get over it.

Can I recommend you read "The Now Habit" as a non-drug aid for the ADD problems?

I've taken the mushroom coffee before, it definitely had a gentle effect, but they changed the flavor and made it worse so I only bought it twice (I had the kind that comes in the kcups, this was probably 4 years ago?)

Did you pick Liberia for a specific reason? They have their own history that is unique in Africa, namely having been colonized by richer blacks from America which held onto power for generations of corruption.

There are some people who get to enjoy the company of various women in a short duration of time in their youth and I wish to be one of them. If I meet a girl who I find attractive and wish to engage with
That sounds like sex with euphemisms.

I made a few jokes about how she will be sucking me off too at which point she stopped and told me that this is not happening. I left and later told her to fuck herself when I saw her again.
This is... not how to talk to women. Not ever. Not women that tease you, not women that frustrate you, not anyone. You'll give every woman the ick.

Most vitamins are much more dense and bioavailable in animal products than vegetable products. Exception being Vit C, which possibly carnivores don't need. Also fiber.

There is a hypothesis that vitamin c is only necessary for digesting/using carbs, and that is why inuit/carnivore diets seem to do fine without it.

yandex also just has great image search, for whatever reason. maybe because it isn't passing everything through a pc puree

Does Kagi do the same political filtering on search like google and duckduck? (sorry, I mean, "helpful weeding out of misinformation")

Also, would any drug addict voluntarily undergo treatment that would leave them as addicted as before but without any ability to get a fix? How is it supposed to work to solve the problem?
There is a medication that works this way for alcohol and some alcoholics do willingly take it.
A pill means you only need self control 2 minutes a day rather than 24 hours a day.

Kamala wants to unleash her inner prosecutor and roll around in the mud with Trump.... sounds better in the shower than it does in real life.
Phrasing.

I took a moment to look this up. An example of an old-timey rate, In Sweden and Finland in 1800, for example, around 900 mothers died for every 100,000 live births. That's about 1% per birth, so if you had more than 10 pregnancies (which a married young rich woman might as you say) maybe you could get lifetime risks around 10%.
There are still countries in africa where more than 1 in 20 women can expect to die in childbirth.

The governments purposes for tracking sex should not be about the feelings of the individual being tracked, but about keeping accurate records for the census, crime, and other statistics. I'd say that having a listed sex other than your apparent (actual) one is a major problem.

The simple cheating case which sex testing exists to catch (a non-intersex cis man entering a female event) has never happened in the Olympics - and as far as I am aware it hasn't happened in international-level athletics either.
Trans identified males (non-intersex) taking over female sports has been happening at all levels of competition (including international) for several years now.
Documents the phenomenon closely, with citations.
Number of Female Athletes 717 Number of Medals* 1055 Number of Competitions 522 Number of Sports 37

The IOC didn't test him. The IBA did. They are trying very hard to not get sued for revealing sensitive medical information.
Neither of the XY competitors even pretend to live as women.

Because a man punching a woman shouldn't be an Olympic sport. Its much more visceral than the three XY males that took the medals in one event during the 2016 olympics.
Images like this are powerful.

The fact that he groped his first opponent after the match was terrible too.
Too many people didn't care about "just" the women losing out on scholarships, victories, and fame. Too many people don't seem to care about the injuries suffered by teenaged girls playing soccer, rugby or volleyball with much stronger males. But here we have a dude punching a woman in the face so finally more people are saying "you know what, maybe thats not fair".

What is this kind of thinking called? The gist is "what my opponent should want (which is what I want) according to this value he says he holds rather than what he really wants." I also think of this as the "good republican" as written by aaron sorkin where his republicans that you like are only republican in ways he can agree with or at least understand and the opinions he hates are reserved to bad/stupid characters.
Examples (sorry if these aren't the best, but I think I show the logical twist):
"Democrats should be opposed to abortion because they think everyone has equal value in our society, even the unwanted and unaffordable children of the poor. (Alternately Rawlings Veil)".
"Republicans should support lots of immigration to push down labor costs so they can make more money."
I found myself drifting into this mode of thinking earlier in the gaza war ("Qatar should declare themselves opposed to terrorism and seize the bank accounts of the Hamas leaders because hey free billions and goodwill as the continued reasonable center of the middle east") and I was wondering whether there was a name for it.
You can use any remote storage you want, you only pay obsidian if you use their storage. There are guides to sset it up with dropbox or google drive, for example. I choose to pay them because I want to be divesting from google.
