That and canned veggies. Don’t know if it’s because we were low income or if produce was just a lot more expensive back in the 80s and 90s. But, I remember eating a shit ton of canned “mixed vegetables” at my house and at friends houses.
My mom was a good cook, but I feel like we didn’t get a lot of fresh veggies unless we were living on a military base where the groceries were subsidized.
If you have a bunch of questionable 7.62 that’s been in storage maybe a little too long, what’s a better pairing than a rifle that’s half cosmoline?
It hardly ever jams, is easy to clean and maintain, and if you don’t clean it for long enough the pin will stick and then you can slam fire on full auto.
One of my first guns was a Yugo sks that had never been fired. It’s great for learning because you have to do a complete breakdown to clean all the grease from everywhere before you can actually shoot it.
This ignores the very nature of pharmaceutical research and development.
Pharmaceutical companies aren’t really research institutes, because research and development is terribly expensive. The primary research of just about any major drug innovation is typically first pioneered by Universities who are publicly funded.
A Pharmaceutical company’s version of research and development is taking the primary research done by universities and developing them into a drug that is patent protected.
There is a ton of rat fucking in pharmaceutical companies that lead people to this type of conspiratorial thought, but most of it is pertaining to patent law, not dictating what a bunch of grad students are doing their research over.
Yep, turkish nationalist are just as genocidal as they’ve ever been. Honestly their beliefs around ethnic conflicts haven’t really changed since the early 20th century.
Lol, sure…
“Since the conflict began, more than 40,000 people have died, most of whom were Kurdish civilians.[”
“Turkey has depopulated and burned down thousands of Kurdish villages and massacred Kurdish civilians in an attempt to root out PKK militants.”
“The initial reason given by the PKK for this was the oppression of Kurds in Turkey.[81][82] At the time, the use of Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names were banned in Kurdish-inhabited areas.[83] In an attempt to deny their existence, the Turkish government categorized Kurds as “Mountain Turks” during the 1930s and 1940s.[83][84][85] The words “Kurds”, “Kurdistan”, or “Kurdish” were officially banned by the Turkish government.[86] Following the military coup of 1980, the Kurdish language was officially prohibited in public and private life until 1991.[87] Many who spoke, published, or sang in Kurdish were arrested and imprisoned”
Lol, weren’t you just complaining about people misusing the trolley problem…and now you’re worried about the trolley becoming the star of Steven kings Christine?
The trolley problem isn’t a law or anything. It’s literally just a tool for kids to explore questionable ethical dilemmas, and it doesn’t really apply to the real world. Which means it’s perfectly suitable for shit posting memes.
I mean, fair enough. Kinda hard for me to remember people can actively feel contempt or just complete disinterest for any kid, let alone their own.
It is because they are insulated from the damage these people leave in the wake of “doing their jobs”. If I or you sent their family into financial ruin by extorting their health/existence they’d be whistling a different tune.
Somebody validate my anger.
I work at a children’s hospital, a couple times a week United Healthcare denies treatment that could allow some of my pediatric patients with severe mobility issues to do things like run, or play outside with their friends. All because having a somewhat normal life isn’t medically necessary, or isn’t a covered benefit, or were not a preferred provider…and the nearest in network provider is 6 hours away.
Every time I have to explain to a parent that Medicaid would have paid for this, but mom and dad worked a little too hard and so they don’t qualify for state care… I die a little on the inside.
So I for one don’t really care about being respectful, and can reassure you that you shouldn’t feel the need to either. People who show no humanity towards disabled children are not human in my book.
Today has been cathartic and I’m going to have a little pep in my step on my walk home.
Which means he should’ve had more empathy for the families he’s denied medical care for, right?
I saw someone post a pic of his family trying to get people to empathize with him, and to be honest it just makes me think even less of him.
I don’t really know how someone can love their kids, but deny healthcare to other children. He’d be less of a monster if he was just completely devoid of humanity all the time instead of when he’s just clocked in for work.
Yeah, they’re literally just normal dudes doing their mandatory service that everyone hates. I think one of the benefits of mandatory service is that the police state isn’t exclusively made up of the most violent and conservative people in the country.
No thanks fam, I’m going to continue believing the 90s were 10-15 years ago max. I’m not old, I’m just tired all the time, no more questions please.
Also a two party system with the one they consider being centrist having an ethnic supremacy wing.
That’s mostly result of being occupied by a militant fascist nation who tried to do several decades of cultural genocide.
The people’s power party’s version also has an ethnic supremacy wing, but for the Japanese. The new right movement somehow has some weird Koreans that want to restore imperial Japanese power in Korea.
I mean, at least that one had some kind of military support and an iota of planning. Seems like Yoon just had a bit of a breakdown, doesn’t seem like people in his own party even knew anything was happening.
South Korea may be a bit more conservative than other western democracies, but the people definitely aren’t afraid to hit the streets and fucking riot if needed. None but a few fucking weirdo new right people really want anything to do with dictatorships anymore.
amphetamine promotes dopamine release, it doesn’t inhibit reuptake.
Amphetamines are also DRI…
“The following are a selection of some particularly notably abused DRIs: cocaine, ketamine, MDPV, naphyrone, and phencyclidine (PCP). Amphetamines, including amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, cathinone, methcathinone, mephedrone, and methylone, are all DRIs as well, but are distinct in that they also behave, potentially more potently, as dopamine releasing agents (DRAs)”
Amphetamines are dopamine releasing agents, but they also affect dopamine re-uptake.
I mean, coke is basically an amphetamine with a shittier half life. They’re both stimulants with a dopamine re-uptake inhibitors.
Coke is just the shittier and less ethically sourced option.
Says the dude who’s spent this whole time defending a free market economy?
You can’t defend the free market and then be aghast when the free market decides plastics are profitable.
Oh, nope. Rereading it, you’re totally right. Just a little of my dyslexia seeping in lol. My bad!
Yes, exactly why I said it’s a platitude. It’s thoughtless and trite. I’m saying: consumption is not ethical, no matter which system. There is no ethical consumption.
That’s a false dichotomy…even if we agreed with your definition of all consumption being unethical, it wouldn’t mean that there aren’t different levels of unethical practices used to produce those consumables.
All consumption being unethical does not mean that all forms of production are equally unethical. If that’s the case you wouldn’t really have a problem with sending the kids back to the mines.
It paints consumers as mere puppets or robots who are unable to make choices or decisions that could lead to a reduction of suffering.
Can you point to a time in history where a general boycott of a dangerous or harmful product was successful without the help of government intervention?
Any other system created by humans is flawed and infected the human disease, doomed to create suffering and torment.
And apparently that doesn’t happen under capitalism? Then what exactly are you bitching about plastic for?
“ethical consumption” in any other living system is wishful thinking. It doesn’t exist.
Again, your argument is based on a forced false dichotomy.
Not to mention that it seems like you are really just a libertarian angry at consumers for participating in the “free market”.
You can’t simultaneously believe that the free market is the best way to regulate the economy, but upset at the people for their consumption habits in a free market.
Because you’re just a white American troll who likes to pretend they’re from the East.
Judging by our interaction on another thread where you tried to explain Chinese culture to an ethnically Chinese person… And then accuse them of not being Chinese enough because they live in America… I’m guessing you aren’t exactly an expert.
Brave of you to delete all those after I called you out.
