Some of these Starbucks drinks have like 1500-2500 calories.

That's why middle class white chicks chub up the fastest, they don't realize their daily whipped mocha whatever has an entire day's meal worth of calories and probably a weeks worth of sugar.
this is an infuriating problem. you can explain calories in calories out to some people all you want, but they just can't conceptualize that a drink can 'fatten them up' the way it will. they can't understand that some foods are more calorie rich because they can't picture it correctly. i bang my head against this very wall with a couple of family members and i am always left unsatisfied when i explain that you cannot gain weight if you do not eat enough calories to maintain that weight. people will straight up lie to your face about how much they eat just to put the onus for them being fat and more importantly unhealthy on someone else.

i can't wait for kennedy to get his health-obsessed claws into our nation.
 
If you cared about stopping this kind of stuff then you would be hoping that those who said this are held accountable, not trying to frame them in a better light.
Nigger I hope they go to prison for conspiracy to commit espionage against the United States! I'm defending the people that are reporting that there's potential insider threats! Jesus Christ.
 
Current poly market guesses as to who is named on the list…

Bill Gates should be 100%
 
If that’s the bar you set for yourself, then yes. At least you’re not a pedophile animal fucker. But I think you should set your standards a bit higher than that.
I mean I'm not going to pretend and put on heirs like I'm some high value gym bro dude.
Like I'm a geek and a bit of a weirdo I know my place I would rather get a kinda based geek girl than try to pull some girl half my age who wants a meal ticket.

Well forgive me for jumping the gun then assuming I misunderstood you. Between this, the judges and the Intelligence committee erp DM's I simply don't have any patience for the feds and I will not afford anything they say a shread of nuance. I should not have applied that rule to your post.
 
Expanding on this further, the reasons that baby formula is so prevalent follows the exact same pattern as just about everything else wrong with American diets and medicine.

Formula manufacturers pushed doctors and hospitals to introduce it to women AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because the only thing that gets women to produce more milk is more breast feeding and having an out that can make the baby stop crying for a little while to let the mom sleep is right there.

The only surefire way to increase a woman's milk supply is to keep responding to the baby and trying to feed when they're hungry. So by reaching for the formula, women don't end up developing more production and suddenly you're relying on the formula to keep the baby fed. Breast milk starts to reduce so the mother supplements more formula until that's all the baby can eat because the mom's milk is bone dry now.

This hits first time mom's the hardest who are developing the plumbing to make breast milk for the first time. It's insidious. There are LOADS of health benefits provided by doing the act of breast feeding for both the mother and child that get lost out on by having formula within arms reach at the very birth of the child.

Hearing about tariffs on the EU reminded me of this great article.
Highly recommend reading it, Varoufakis is a lousy politician but a brilliant economist.
Don't necessarily agree with the plan, but there is one and there is logic to it at least.
Yanis Varoufakis worked for Valve once. What a strange little world we live in.

Either that or roll it back to the OSS. I’m just tired of seeing the letters “CIA.”
What even happened to the OSS? The official story always seemed a little weird to me.
Conspiracy theories welcome.

Something that's been working pretty well for me recently has been to explain that the liver treats sugar and alcohol the same. People seem to understand if you drink too much, you get fat, and something about that has clicked for a couple people I know.

oh i don't think the cia upper level are the ones who are going to do it, i think that the lower levels are the ones threatening it and the upper echelon don't care, but i agree that it's a different level of traitorousness. one is passive traitority, being willing to hide the names of those people instead of immediately reporting them to trump or gabbard.

the agents threatening to reveal secrets should be hanged, publically. there's no excuse or good reason to commit treason, especially not as a member of the espionage community who are already distrusted and at a premium on slack.
 
I legitimately respect her and have since 2016.
Thanks for the run-down. I didn't know anything about her except that she's hot af.

Side note, I find it so cool that trump included RFK and Tulsi in his cabinet, it's a true unification move. The more liberals try to slander the Democrats that actually have integrity, the more people are going to realize how fucked the Cathedral has become and (rate me optimistic) jump ship to support the real democrats. I hope this admin becomes the turning point that eventually causes the lib establishment to crumble and the Democrats to re-orient back towards the center.

Coffee literally isn't supposed to taste good
You are doing it wrong. I, for one, am enjoying a cup of cafe bustelo right now, brewed strong, with a pinch of sea salt, and blacker than Old Coalie's ass.

If people need to ass it up with sugarslop, milk, chocolate, or whatever, they actually just don't like coffee.
