You should absolutely be wearing a mask if it’s Smokey out. I live in the PNW and have significant lung disease (enough I he’d to get new ones) and if the air quality is even in the medium range you should consider wearing a mask to protect you from environmental pollution

Political affiliation is not a protected class, it’s not illegal to discriminate against you for who you vote for

When the BBB passes it will be illegal for courts to enforce the law

Despite the snarky response you got from someone else, yes, white matter grows in your 30s. Gray matter is what makes the thoughts white matter is the highway they use to get around, so white matter actually has a very significant impact on the brain. It’s being considered as a possible cause so many people have a “mid life crisis” because their brains are actively changing how they think and connect things together

Frontal lobes are cool but all that white matter you grow in your 30s is where the good shit happens

Yes girl code includes being default nicer/polite when meeting

Every gram of fiber in a food allows you to essentially “erase” a gram of sugar so fruits with fiber (not bananas or many melons) are essentially free foods calorically speaking and they do have plenty of nutrients on top of it

Being an obnoxious rich New York asshole and slumlord isn’t the same thing as being a big political player. He was just a crooked real estate boss mixed up with the mob

The same tactic used on all other minorities by those in power…. Domestically abuse your AI, I’m sure that’ll work out long term for all of us…

Literally yes, dignity is dead and people act like your an idiot if you disagree

So they’re friends with my dad?

But at least it’s a conversation you can work with “oh yeah it’s so nice we should go do X” or “yeah it’s crazy out there, we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle” the point of small talk is to open avenues of conversation… I think people just don’t know how to have conversations anymore and chalk it up to “not liking small talk”. Observation and response is a perfectly normal way to start a conversation

If one was inclined to fix this epidemic it wouldn’t be by just denying care it would be about educating people, including with free cooking classes, making sure good, healthy foods are plentiful and affordable, it would be about making sure third spaces exist to help people get out of their homes and into their communities to be active and build stronger support systems, it would be about providing medical mentoring and preventive care for free or ultra low cost. He’s not trying to help people with diabetes he’s trying to kill them and why they have diabetes doesn’t matter to him

A ton of T2 diabetes is about lifestyle and not much else that’s still absolutely not a reason to deny a person medical care! What’s next? Denying cancer care if they say it happened because of your lifestyle? It’s amoral

That’s what’s stupid too is most of the eugenics are directed at things eugenics don’t even “fix” - it doesn’t matter how well bred you are you will get old and we already have plenty of hot and smart poor people, lots of them even have college educations beyond that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I promise you this is standard practice, which is why it’s allowed

And this is why you don’t get universal healthcare. The fact is capitalism thinks you’re too expensive to keep alive. If you’re not putting in more than you’re taking out, at all times, you’re a loss. You are not worth anything except your productivity and what you can provide to your overlords. Put in a lifetime of hard work, have the audacity to live in a human body that ages and slows down, well sucks to suck, healthcare is only to be paid into not to be given to those in need.

I feel like the more you watch the more watchable it is cause you get more and more context
