We talked identity, burnout, left/right hemispheres, and much more! One correction: erythritol unlike other sugar alcohols is absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted mostly in the urine unchanged. So a bit less sharting involved 💩
While immersed in Flushing NY's seriously Chinese vibes, my kids bought a shit-ton of weird-ass snacks and then tried to recreate some random Chinese TikTok video they are obsessed with: https://www.tiktok.com/@gildrtsy/video/7405511542667545861?_r=1&_t=ZP-8y7QlZyNCxz
