@furgar >It is not carbs

Not carbs, but a specific carb. We put sugar/corn starch in so many of our foods, and not just the snack and dessert items. Just look at the label for a can of spaghetti sauce, you will see sugar as an ingredient.

A lot of the problems with added sugar stems from the whole "fat-free" phase when fat was demonized. Meanwhile, food producers added sugar in place of fat, making things worse as fat was never the problem.

@rohrkrepierer Those who are inferior often look for someone they perceive as inferior to them to punch down on to make themselves feel better. Incels are the not only people she sees as inferior, but are the newest punching bag thanks to the campaign to hate any man who might be sexually frustrated or not happy with the status quo of feminism and the dating market.

Saw this list from the bike faggot's channel. Notice something about a few of the categories. Hint: think about who is more afraid of things like crime and is obsessed with status.

@Heil_Honkler @PinochetsCommieCopter This sort of thing should have been done for something far more consequential than pension reform of all things. But they are rioting because they are told they might need to wait a few more years to get money redistributed to them.

This is not giving the government themselves a pass, as they are guilty of a lot of corrupt and evil shit. I just want people more riled up over tyranny rather than entitlements.

@Tfmonkey Before it gets too far away from when daylight savings is still fresh in our minds, want to guess which president was a strong advocate for keeping daylight savings time (as in continuing the process of switching back and forth)? You only need one guess.

@furgar Easy to eliminate the last choice. 60 years old and a "university administrator." What use is he exactly?

I know why poast would eliminate him, but I think my reasons are adequate enough. Sorry, being old just means that you had your opportunity to live your life.

The whole "indigenous land acknowledgement" that I have recently found out about has to be the worst case of virtue signaling. "We are on stolen land." Okay, are you going to give it back then? No? You still want to own it, but you want people to think you are a good person.

Not that the stolen land meme has any merit. Ownership and borders change over the years. Crying about one instance when it changed shows that you live a very sheltered existence.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Ariovistus So it was projection all along when they try to make men think that "big is beautiful." It just shows that they really, really do not understand men at all. Not surprised by this, but it is a perfect example of how thinking someone is exactly like you when they are not leads to all the wrong conclusions.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Damn straight he should be disappointed in himself. This is an outcome that sentences your bloodline to ruin, if not outright ending it. To elaborate, even if she ends up having children, do you think they are going to grow up in a stable household?

It is the father's job to make sure his daughter does not engage in degenerate behavior. Yes, that job is much harder today with societal pressures, but you have no choice if you want to be a father. You have to stand strong.

@sj_zero Having looked at this further, they most certainly have a survivor bias style of thinking when it comes to how "free" countries are. They considered the US 2020 election "free and fair," as if the mail in ballots and the cases where kicking out observers because of the bullshit "we're in a pandemic" rules makes for a free and fair election.

As people are sent to live in the pods, they will still say they have "freedom."

@mutageno There are many people who have never been able to go to Disney World, and their lives go on just fine without that experience. I am pretty sure that kids are capable of having fun and happy experiences for things far cheaper than Disney World.

And if they do not like it, perhaps they need to build some character instead of thinking that they need to get their way.

@PapaPole @Alex1488 @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot I am quite sick of the whole meme of the "college experience" being something that is considered a necessity (I don't mean the drinking and partying but that is also not worth it). How else can you study a variety of subjects in depth unless you pay 5 to 6 figures in costs! Plus, the campus has it's own ROCK WALL! There is no way to find that outside of college!

@PapaPole @Alex1488 @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot Another part of the whole college meme are the stats they cite that claim "college graduates earn more money than non-college graduates." This is technically true, but completely misleading and irrelevant for the younger generations, as it conflates the numbers from previous decades to the more recent years. The subset of data from recent years shows that college is not worth the cost for most college grads today.

@sj_zero Perhaps I will need to take a look at this so called "Freedom House" and see if they really care about freedom. And freedom is not the same thing as happiness or getting provided for, as many people will unironically argue that universal healthcare increases freedom (hint: it does the opposite).

@Humpleupagus @koropokkur I will look for this later, but I do recall it has been an issue that Pope Francis has been consistent with. It is not really new that he is against the idea that we should be teaching gender ideology to people.

Not saying he isn't a communist and leftist for other issues, but this is not one of them.

@coolboymew Easy enough for me. My wife is easily less than a 3rd of my PR Squat.
