I almost wish 1984 was the reality, but it's a horrible mix of 1984 and Brave New World. Rather than just being oppressed due to fear of your comrades turning you in, like 1984, we also get people happily ignoring everything bad to get their fix of the fixed slice of the world presented to them.

If it was just 1984, at least I'd have hope that enough people could see the problem, rise up against the problem, and not have to contend with the contented masses that just want the status quo.

...well? What are the rules?

Edit: These replies have a lot less rules about how to fuck water, or in water, than I expected.

Especially if it’s blue powerade for

That's amusing, because it always seemed like blue powerade was the default nozzle for the 'water' option at the other style of machine, so it was getting that contamination there as well.

Because one (obviously not all) of the problems that HOAs were created to solve is still around: terrible neighbors. It's not always an option to pick the best neighbors when you're looking at a home, and HOAs at least let you quickly see that your neighbor isn't going to be dumping sewage or old rusted machines in your yard. They also can be a quicker, more accessible route than going through with an individual lawsuit if your neighbor does begin acting like an ass. I've had to deal with bad neighbors in rural and suburban settings, and I would honestly pick HOA over that.

I wouldn't live in an HOA neighborhood if I could avoid it, but I also wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood if I could avoid it. Give me a large, spacious, well-insulated apartment in an urban area and I'd be happy.

A kid is riding a dirt bike through the woods one day and gets garroted on an invisible glass wire dangling between two trees

In an interesting tangent, that's actually a thing in brazil. If I remember, there are laws in place that make it illegal to operate a motorcycle without a wire cutter on it.

For the info on why there are different descriptions of carbs: https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-facts-label/how-understand-and-use-nutrition-facts-label

What are Added Sugars and How are they Different from Total Sugars?

Total Sugars on the Nutrition Facts label includes sugars naturally present in many nutritious foods and beverages, such as sugar in milk and fruit as well as any added sugars that may be present in the product. No Daily Reference Value has been established for total sugars because no recommendation has been made for the total amount to eat in a day.

Added Sugars on the Nutrition Facts label include sugars that are added during the processing of foods (such as sucrose or dextrose), foods packaged as sweeteners (such as table sugar), sugars from syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. Diets high in calories from added sugars can make it difficult to meet daily recommended levels of important nutrients while staying within calorie limits.

Note: Having the word “includes” before Added Sugars on the label indicates that Added Sugars are included in the number of grams of Total Sugars in the product.

For example, a container of yogurt with added sweeteners, might list: Total Sugars on Sample Label

This means that the product has 7 grams of Added Sugars and 8 grams of naturally occurring sugars – for a total of 15 grams of sugar.

As to what various carbohydrates do? That's a biochemistry semester, mate, but a quick look can be had here: https://rimgo.vern.cc/0EQF3.jpg

Here's a medium complexity: https://redlib.nadeko.net/img/yepntxvf89t71.jpg

If I'm going to give you a short, two sentence summary? Most organic molecules in the body can be broken down to a two carbon molecule attached to a coenzyme that we call acetyl CoA, and that can be used to build most products in the body when combined with other substances like nitrogen and sulfur. Carbohydrates typically go down one of three paths, either 1.) broken down to pyruvate before entering the Kreb cycle, where we produce most of our energy, 2.) broken down to pyruvate and then switched over to acetyl CoA and used to build lipids (fats), typically as a triglyceride, or 3.) shunted through the pentose pathway and used for various purposes, including killing pathogens and building/modifying nucleic acids.

Eh, a lot of the time EMS will do the same thing on a corpse call. It's one of those 'dot your is and cross your ts' things. I'll give the JPdub EKG a pass.

I think the inversion tables are a better go. You can pick one up for under $150.

I always remember these at the carnival, and the point was to get strapped in until you hurl.

Some are more equal than others, I guess. Anyone who can put up with that line in the bible about not permitting women to be over men is missing out on some of life's more fun adventures.

I didn't realize rabbits had such long tailbones.

You. I like you.

Now kith.

I like the dictionary explanation for this one: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Himbo

I also like the pictures that come up: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=himbo&t=ffab&iar=images

Sadly, most of those 'clever ways' are just being manipulated from the time you popped out of the womb. Religious communities and highly conservative communities never tell you anything but that being a good person means being... subservient. It's difficult to imagine for people who grew up and had a variety of people tell them all sorts of things, encouraging questions and learning, but it is 'normal' for every single person in your life to tell you the same thing and you are punished and ostracized (which, mentally speaking, can be worse) if you go against the grain in any way. Escaping that and the mentality it brings takes luck and help. Many of them will even lash out if you try to help, because of that fear of anything different that was ingrained by the group.

No, their arrival was with the icky train that has a turntable for the christian-aryan brotherhood-kkk-shithead railways.

Universal suffrage is not god's design

Weeeeeeeell, looks like I know who to not listen to when he comes spreading poison about a false god.

It's weird that I would never remember either face as being unusual, but seeing the pictures as still frames really starts highlighting the oddities.

I've been playing through the first one. It's definitely a good time.

That checks out. I think I beat most of my friends simply because I remember a chess aficionado mentioning the center as being important to hold.
