“its all bad in the long run” doesnt mean that one isnt significantly worse. If youre smoking, why not just do meth instead? Both will kill you.

I dont use sweeteners because of the aftertaste but I wont deny that sugar is much worse for my health. I dont consume enough to make it an actual problem though.

Why would anyone want to buy unsweetened tea? Its literally less work making your own than carrying the cans from the store. And costs like 1/100

Most sane Trump voter

Im not having a bad time just because I dont talk all the time. So many people directly associate silence with sadness or loneliness.

I donno, Ive had this kind of ‘fight’ with my now wife pretty often. Im 30 now. She would ignore me or ‘make it obvious’ shes angry and I would go about my day. I told her again and again that I wouldnt play these stupid games and eventually she started discussing with me when she has a problem with something. She got it from her mother, thats how they dealt with problems in her family.

This DJ Vance guy sounds dope. Which clubs is he at?

Yes of course I realize it and Im often saying exactly that. The problem is when capital equals political power, which results in a downward spiral where as large a portion of the population as possible is kept at the bare minimum of survival for the benefit of the few.

Its surely not the millions in management salary each month…

Or after, doesnt really matter

A friend of mine whose decisionmaking I respect a lot. Good balance of logic and empathy. He would be an awesome president and hed hate me for dumping that shitton of responsibility on him. Wouldnt want to be in his shoes. Also id miss him, but its for the best.

I love the phrase “booze or hard drugs”, while alcohol is one of the hardest drugs you can find out there. Just because its legal doesnt make it harmless.

What do you mean by not having done enough with your life?

Do you mean that you have been a burden to others more than you gave back? Then its simple, try to do something that gives back. Do voluntary work at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter or something like that.

Do you mean you havent achieved something awesome that people will talk about for generations? Then you should accept that you probably wont. Most people live an “ordinary” life without major accomplishments.

Do you feel like your current life has no real meaning? Just living day by day, not much enjoyment? Try to change it, bit by bit. Make friends that you can enjoy time with. Find new hobbies. Maybe change jobs.

Funny how its red/blue and suddenly people dont see that its basically black/white

I donno. For a million dollars Id easily work 7 days a week for a year and then chill for 20 years.

I think theyre talking about the US.

That may be the case. I will need to conduct my own research^^

• that sugary sweets make kids act “hyper”

Do you happen to have a source for that? Coz I have witnessed kids act like a horde of wild monkeys on crack right after eating dessert on multiple occasions.

Oh but you need to consider the overall spending on healthcare, not per-capita. That would be around 100-10000 times more than any other cointry. /s
Also I hope that its clear that spending money on healthcare while not providing healthcare does not make it any better.

I dont understand how anyone could criticize a per-capita statistic. It is completely logical to compare coutries by size. Or if not, we need to start talking about China being number one in almost everything in the world. Just having many people who contribute relatively little doesnt make your country more generous.
