What kind of dumb fucking question is that. Why the fuck would you ask the most important man on earth the dumbest and mundane question like that.

the question was for the prime minister of Ireland

 

[oh no its pipkun]

You can't have it both ways after claiming the price increases after the inauguration were Biden's fault. Pick one and stick with it maybe?

that's true if you dont know what the causes are. mid feb 2025 saw a big importation of eggs which is causing the price of eggs to drop now.

It's all infantile semantics anyway.

and this is true if you're a retard.

They're quitting something they never do for a day?




But line going down means lower numbers and that's bad. Line going up is always good regardless of how or why. Don't you understand that funny numbers are the end all be all for economic health? Just add more money to the money pool and that makes the economy better. Forget your bank accounts. Forget the jobs or industries that actually produce value. The markets are bearish and that means the wrong people are losing money. Now the world's on fire and it's your fault. You stupid idiots. How dare you.

Speaking of, line gon up today. The stock market is up across the board due to lower than expected inflation reports.

Gavin Newsom apparently secretly partially funded the creation of his own monument in San Francisco’s City Hall. The total cost was $97,000. He donated money from companies he owns to a nonprofit and earmarked the payments for “Mayoral Bust at San Francisco City Hall.”

Democrats: WE ARE TRANSITIONING TO EV VEHICLES. GASOLINE VEHICLES NOT ALLOWED.

Democrats: NO. NOT LIKE THAT.

With allies like this, who needs enemies?

Apparently UK prime minister Kier Starmer doesn't dream or have an inner monologue, or have a favourite book, or enjoy art. Soulless automaton.

Especially with big YouTube cooking channels who have become less and less approachable for home cooks and people with family. It's all about aesthetic, does it look good on camera, etc. worst of all, it makes folks feel like they aren't good enough to even try and cook it themselves.

Look up FutureCanoe’s older videos on an alt frontend or something if you can. He used a lot of substitutions, used his hands and a fork to mix his ingredients, and still isn’t afraid to show failed executions. He’s a spic who lives in Manhattan and shills for BetterHelp, but until recently he was more “regular” than other cooking channels.

-Reduce inflation which gets rid of the need for a two-income family household, that means there is someone to cook at the kitchen
-Find any ABC agency who psyopped second wave feminism and cut out any remnants of that psyoping "women in the workplace"
-Cut all corn, rapeseed, and soybean agricultural subsidies. While I prefer no subsidies, if there is any, go for avocado, olive, and coconut subsidies, maybe subsidies for bee farming too
-Get rid of the years upon decades of lobbied messaging about fats, carbs, etc. I would argue the whole propaganda machine should be dismantled but if it had to stay, just push the opposite - foods without HFCS or seed oils
-Put in large text "This food has HFCS/Seed Oils which is linked to inflammation, cancer, and heart disease" for any food with even small amounts of it
-Stop fucking with the meat industry and allow cattle farming to be more widespread

Limit the use of GMO seeds
Limit how many farms one person can own. This also ties into the communications act of 96. Repeal that so that we don't have these giant conglomerates owning basically every TV and radio station.

We sure he isn't an animatronic with flesh-draped over him?

Wonder how well it would survive a fire?

He’s a NYC spic who shills for BetterHelp

There's been a resurgence in Betterhelp sponsorships in the last few years. Youtubers have collectively forgotten how they're not licensed therapists but something akin to subcontractors and betterhelp has no obligation to keep any of the contents of the sessions private, or not sell that data on. That was a big scandal back when it first broke. Also I'm vaguely sure there was something about upselling actively suicidal people to bigger plans, or something.

Tofu is actually pretty neat since it absorbs the flavor of marinades and seasonings well. It does have an odd texture, though, so that's why some people hate it.

Also, good morning USPG2! News outlets are reporting that Democrats are backing down on a government shutdown and Trump will get his budget.

If done right, maybe in a miso soup as I've just now learned, it can do really well. The idea of something just being able to glucksuck up a flavor to make an alternative way to enjoy it does seem neat. I know that's its appeal, but these triangular general faux's chicken with broc definitely triggered my tongue's fight or flight response. Rubbery center, hard, firm, outer edge. BLEGH. BLEUGH. IDONLIKEIT. AUUUUUUGH.

Also hi Johnny! And good afternoon everyone else.

On the topic of if food is political: Absolutely! The question was asked before in the form of 'how is meat political' a while back. The attitudes around food, prices, accessibility, and propagandized pushes with food as the subject can be taken as political especially in America where one of Donald's main selling points was buff Kennedy man wanting to remove common carcinogens from food.

A culture can be judged based off of its food, and I dunno about YOU, but I dream of a future where we don't let FOOD AIMED AT KIDS HAVING FUCKING LEAD AND IN IT, AND LETTING THAT SLIDE SO EASILY WITHOUT MORE OUTRAGE.

Youtubers who grandstand about social issues and yet accept sponships like that will never not be funny

I haven’t forgotten, that’s why I found it important to mention. BetterHelp is untrustworthy. Even if it works for him, it’s worth adding that he plugged it a lot, especially in the past… year I think? Definitely long enough to form a pattern.

Due to the haters I am determined to keep the discussion of food and health while also staying on topic.

MAHA: The American Heart Association is actively fighting legislation to prevent food stamps from being used to buy soda and candy. Why? The NGO relies on funding from Pepsi and Kelloggs.

Guys what if the one behind the various Vance edits is.... Vance himself?
Hear me out.
With the advent of extremely high quality AI it will no doubt be a part of the propaganda campaign in 2028.
Anyone running will be deluged with AI videos of them taking a dump on the statue of libertys face and it will influence public opinion.
We can already see this happening with Trump and Elon now.
Enter JD.
AI models use publicly available information to train themselves and thus introducing a bunch of false positives associated with a name may screw their final product up.
If the AI pulls up pictures of JD Vance to use in the final product but 75/100 are fake edits the final result will be corrupted and not as effective for propaganda usage. They may even look so absurd and uncanny they just make people laugh - not what you want!
By flooding the internet with fake JD Vance pictures the AI won't be able to tell what is Vance and what is an edit.
The posts of people saying "so many edits of JD Vance are posted I'm having trouble telling what's the original"?
To AI it won't be a joke. It will be the reality of a corrupted data set.

Spoiler: Conclusion

Schizoposting is fun
