You said "if you don't want to be overweight, you have to eat carbs in moderation." I am not doing that, and am not overweight.

If you're going to word something as absolute, on the internet, you better be prepared for exceptions in reply.

Fat has more than double the calorie density, I'm not sure what you mean by "high carb food have more calories".

I like to go to the bakery down the street and buy a loaf, then just eat the whole thing while it's still fresh. I'm a scrawny little spitfuck.

Any restrictive diet can lead to weight loss, because you're not allowed to eat the stuff you wanna eat, so you don't eat as much.

If there's nothing special about carbs (and I don't think there is...) that's what I'd call "debunked."

If voting could dethrone the wealthy, they wouldn't let us do it.

You're so much more aware of your surroundings when walking or biking.

It's funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie's original comments.

Canadians on joining the US: "oh hell no!"

Americans on joining Canada: "me too please!"

Oh yeah, it's just fun to imagine murdering a bunch of civilians, who have absolutely no say in whose oil just sailed into their harbour. Disgusting.

Would you rather buy Saudi oil? American oil? Yeah, like that's any better.

Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.

We had to invent a new term to describe the racism of white south Africans, they've earned a little suspicion.

The whole finance sector only exists to give rich people free money.

But you can pour mountain dew into a computer.

A game with "500+ M downloads" on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it's on.

If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don't think we'd have any CEOs left.

Yes you have to consider who you're talking to but I think a lot of us are ready to talk about patching the hole.

As a radical leftist I'm certainly not against bailing the boat, I just acknowledge that this is a temporary solution. Like, minimum wage needs to be high enough that people can work a reasonable number of hours, afford rent, and still have time to read Marx.

The minimum wage hike is still important, it's just not the end game. If you're saying you're not interested in patching the hole, that sounds like a problem. If you're saying "this hole won't be patched for a while, but some day we'll get there. In the meantime, bail like hell." then, we are comrades.

Or, when someone says "abolish private property" they're not talking about your toothbrush.

In this context, private property is the stuff you can use to generate capital. Personal property is your toothbrush, your phone, clothes, furniture, bike, car, house etc.

If you own a second house for rental income, that's private property. The house you just live in is personal property.

There's a funny hodgepodge of ideology here... "Guillotine oligarchs" sounds pretty cool, invokes the French Revolution, which was radical left, at the time. But then the unwillingness to abolish private property is either an erroneous conflation of "private" and "personal" or an unwillingness to actually change the system that produces the oligarchs.

It's like bailing out the boat but when someone says "patch the hole" your like "but we need the hole!"

And they're guaranteeing this super affordable public housing all while under a comprehensive trade embargo for 60+ years imposed by the most powerful nation there is, who also happens to be their neighbor.

Never believe that housing "needs" to be expensive, it's 100% a decision made by people who profit from it.

especially the "investors"

There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.

The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.
