It’s addictive, it’s marketed well, people are uninformed about how awful it is for them, and think prepping healthy meals is a lot harder than it is.

If there is one lesson we should learn, it’s that they don’t care to win. They are owned by the same corporate big wigs as Trump. They’re on the same team, capitalism.

I found oatmeal from 2001 in the pantry a few months ago and it was still good so I ate it.

That’s only a danger if they take too much insulin. Insulin is used by the body to make the cells absorb sugar.

Couldn’t get a girlfriend so I became the girlfriend

I changed my gender.

Have you used a Henson razor? Is it worth it over other safety razors?

I like gamersupps but I’m not a vegan, and don’t use it for the health benefits. It’s just a cheaper option than a traditional energy drink and there are several good flavors. I think it’s a decent product if you’re in that market, but I’ve only had to reach out to customer support to get an item swapped on an order. They can also take a while to ship depending on their stock.

I workout every weekend already so probably that.

I’m sending them heavy metal. (Da movie) I don’t think it would be the best or worst impression, but it would be so worth it to see how aliens react to that shit.

I think homie was being sarcastic.

It is a lot safer for women to assume a man is dangerous until proven otherwise. I don’t really see a comment that posits that only men are dangerous or bad, but stomp your feet and cross your arms when women tell you their lived experience, it’s a great look.

I’d probably have to help my mom accept herself, but she’s actually open minded when engaged in sincere conversation. I’d probably have to help her reconcile her faith with her sexuality, which won’t be too hard. She’s actually one of “the good ones,” when it comes to being very Christian but also the parent of a queer child. (Me)

My step-dad would be interesting. If he came out it would be a genuine shock given he is a bigot. While it might feel really good to point and laugh at him, and not care what happens after he comes out to his very conservative family, thinking on it I’d rather offer my support to him and maybe gain an ally. I could at the very least be out to him. I’m not currently because I don’t know how he’d take it and I live in his house.

My dad’s dead. If he was alive I wouldn’t be a part of his life. If someone told me he came out, I would say, “Neat!” Then move on with my day.

“Take responsibility for yourself.”

“Be accountable.”

“Learn to accept things you can’t control.”

“Self pity gets you nowhere.”

These are all nongendered ways of saying your mental health is your own responsibility. Or, simply repeat to yourself your own observation, “If I’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, I usually feel better.” You were already on the right track friend. Just realize gender has absolutely nothing to do with the concept and counter thoughts that tell you otherwise.

So, actually our federal prison system might just be that trash. Like super over crowded and super under funded. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a conspiracy to let him do it, but you can’t actually say there was with absolute certainty.

I apologize to one for just using her for sex, catch up with 3 others, just chat with the one I still talk to on and off… Genuinely sounds like it could be a pleasant evening. Might bust out a board game or something.

A good sandbox MMO that people actually play, and doesn’t have a high barrier of entry.

I mean, in the short term (50-100 years), yes it is. Unless people start dying at a younger age, there’s going to be a lot of orphaned seniors, which isn’t good. We won’t really see the benefits of a declining birthrate in our lifetimes, but we will see numerous negatives.

In the long term, it’s probably more nessecary then “not bad,” but again, you don’t want to be the one of the people living during the population collapse.

I mean, kids only really suck in a world where both parents have to work 40+ hours a week. You really don’t have to dedicate all your time to them, but in a world with less and less community to help raise them and more and more work to grind your energy down, you have to dedicate far too much of your limited free time to them. I would love to be able to raise a kid or two myself. I loved working with kids. We should not be throwing them into some nebulous “public system.”

Democracy is when the majority of people vote for a law but because rich people from 100+ years ago say otherwise it doesn’t get enacted.
