War means more defense contracts, more defense contracts means more defense contracts in their districts. Which means more jobs, and that looks good at re-election time.

If the world were a game of Civ 6, the US would be full bore in to the domination victory condition. We never left the wartime economy and we don’t know how to.

We fucked.

I don’t wanna go through the pedogate…

Not for nothing but TE Lawrence was a badass and was almost certainly an ace.

I mean they’ve gotta have a reason to prop someone up beyond shits and giggles.

Wait, is Erika Kirk a CIA psyop??

Geneva is the densest city in Switzerland, and not even in the top 10 in Europe, or top 100 in the world. They’ve got room.

They’re cutting workforce to manipulate their stock price. I’d rather the corporate shitlords that are putting people’s livihoods at risk for a margin call get their teeth caved in with a brick.

Because Cuba must be seen as a failing state. The US cannot risk having a successful socialist nation so close by. So it does all the can to sabotage Cuba in hopes that idiots won’t see through the plan.

It says something that A, quite a few idiots can’t see through the plan and that B, it’s taken 70 years of blockade and multiple invasions of other countries to make Cuba fail. Almost as if socialism works really fucking well and the US is probably dumber than we look.

Cue a bunch of idiots citing examples of conservative countries that improved only when liberal leaders took over.

I would march.

200 bucks an hour I’ll walk around a bit and pretend to give a shit.

I will also say things that when taken out of context will sound fucking awful and when in context will sound extremely suspicious.

Let’s steer back to the matter at hand. This has been an udder disaster.

Real quick, define heart healthy. Tell me what the Cheerios people actually mean when they say that.

That phrase actually is bullshit. It’s marketing wank designed to illicit an emotional response from worrisome mothers and evidently specific dudes on the Internet.

And while there’s no firm definition of a UPF, there is an actual general understanding of what that term means. No one is going to look at a bag of lettuce and call it ultra processed. In the same stroke, you can’t look at a bag of Chex mix and tell at a glance what they’re made out of. About half the ingredients on the bag are synthetic. The rest have been reduced to their component atoms and reassembled in a way that’s still technically edible.

And brother, if you think we’re not giving UPFs to babies you’ve got a very rude awaking coming to you. Almost all of the foods marketed towards infants and toddlers are UPF. That’s actually a big problem and a likely contributor to the ongoing obesity problem we have.

As it happens the product you’re seeing babies eat isn’t generally Cheerios, it’s something made of rice that dissolves faster to prevent choking. What’s the marketing for it anyway. And the fact that you and most people without kids can’t tell the difference at a glance says something about the food we’re feeding to kids.

For your edification, choking hazards for children are a real thing, because we’ve failed as a society to teach our children how to chew. Because we’ve been feeding them processed crap from a spoon. If you give a baby a bit of food too big for them to swallow, they’ll pick it up and gnaw or gum at it for a while. Unless you put it in their mouth for them, in which case they’ll instinctively try to swallow it and you’ll have a problem on your hands.

They sure did. I just really wanted to talk about Cheetos I guess. Because I definitely read it as Cheetos.

That’s kind of loaded. Banned is a strong word but, Cheetos specifically were not only engineered to be addictive, but Frito-Lay isn’t even shy about admitting that.most of the snacks you find in the middle aisles are. Soda included.

Does calling me sweetie give you a boner or something? It’s cool dude I just don’t swing that way. And if I were gay I wouldn’t top for some country bumpkin like you. No offense.

“happily”

I’m sure she’s happy and not stuck. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Oh no. Some sexist guy in the American Midwest won’t date the nebulous concept of a woman with bodily autonomy! What ever will the women do???

This isn’t saying you can’t get a divorce. It’s saying a woman cannot be legally obligated to fuck her husband.

Nothing I love more than seeing gross takes on the Internet from my home state.
