it is expressly forbidden to seek assistance from 2 nations over one problem when abroad.
This is very interesting to me and I’d like to see who/where it says that.
Not doubting you, I’d just love to dig into the history of why that’s a rule.
I am not downplaying the psychological effects of obesity but…Willpower is quite literally the ability to overcome your hormones/emotion and resist social pressure. It IS all you need, it’s just really hard to learn. Especially nowadays with the societal pressure to be hot and how depressing the world is in general.
Comparing obesity to a cold is a false dichotomy as you most people can’t simply avoid asymptomatic carriers. But if you insist on the comparison, we were absolutely vicious to people who got COVID because they chose to not wear masks (and rightfully so). I’m not suggesting we SHOULD be similarly mean to fat people, though.
I want to reiterate I’m not looking down on anyone for having weak willpower, mine is shit when there’s a sweet treat in front of me. But I lost 5kg last year just by practicing at the grocery store. If there’s junk food in my house, I know I’ll pick it over real food every time. So I choose not to buy it.
Restaurants don’t make their own fortune cookies, that is true, but there’s hundreds and hundreds of fortune cookie manufacturers in the US. Outside of chain restaurants, I’d wager most buy from local suppliers. Next time you get one, look up the manufacturer on the label
But there’s another near-flavorless cracker whose production IS almost entirely centralized…The majority of the mass-produced communion wafers in the US are made by one company in Rhode Island.
Anyone who “holds out hope” for a political dynasty can suck shit. You’re excited at the thought of a ruling class that exists entirely outside of normal society?
A politician who is related to another politician needs to work 25% harder to win me over. You need to beat the nepo allegations because it’s true more often than it’s not
Some guys tried to carjack me a few years ago and I just floored it, swerving and barely missing several parked cars. Afterward, I wondered if I would have had a legal defense had I not missed.
I hate driving but in that moment I understood racecar drivers. Felt like Spider-Man with my quick reflexes lol
What is Dan adding here
What is this community? First it’s all reddit reposts and now it’s this
This comment was just an excuse for me to shit on her music. I didn’t know her voting history going in, just saw that Paper Planes woman had a new album
I played Undertale and was kind of underwhelmed. The fandom would have you thinking it was the greatest game ever made
Everyone is so focused on her comments, but what about her music? How’s her new album?
Well, I have a “policy” with albums that I have to listen to it all the way through. But I broke that rule with two albums this year and quit this one by track 6. MI7 was one of them. It suuuucccckkks.
Yeah, I don’t think any post that is written in first person should be mirrored
Maybe we’re all reddit replybots…
You’re giving advice to a reddit repost bot
I’m mildly infuriated that you’re just reposting stuff from the subreddit. A place like this should be OC-only otherwise it’s just ragebait, you’re venting for someone else
I am using this as an excuse to share this trailer for a documentary I want to see
I really liked this game. I am not a fan of open world but my friend talked me into trying it and it defied my expectations.
Every side quest has “purpose” in filling out the world, I don’t think I ran into a single one that felt shoehorned in. And the way the map unlocks is very natural to the story.
I loved Monty Python as a kid but couldn’t get into Dr. Who at all. It was too cheesy and I felt too old for it even at 10.
Of all the search engines, Jeeves makes me the most sense as an LLM chatbot. It was already personified
Just put it in drop tuning so they can just smack the frets
I don’t know whether that’s a quote from something or fresh off the dome but that’s an absolute banger of a line.
