Because sugar, fat and salt in those quantities are literally addictive. Our human/monkey brains were wired for survival, not overall health. Eating a large source of those three would’ve been a massive help in surviving winter when our next meal wouldn’t be guaranteed.

CUTE!

Cute name, cute graphics, cute style. This is adorable all across the board!

‘I will not allow that nonsense to filter into your brains. Men, if you see an enemy who you believe is a threat, you engage and destroy the threat.

Well that was fascinating! Ty for the interesting read.

When I was 10 or so where my cousin was part of the boy scout flag retirement It was pretty elaborate with speeches, explanations, demonstration on how to start a fire, a whole folding mini ceremony complete with symbolism about each fold signifance and then love music during the actual buring. Maybe 40-50 people in the audience?

I asked my navy uncle on the way home “I thought burning flags was a bad thing…?” and he promptly told me to shut the fuck up, they did it the only correct way and not ask stupid questions.

Never wanted to do anything scout related again. Weird lil 'MERICA indoctrination culty shit.

Well I am glad at least one solider felt guilt. Unlike others…

On March 16, 1968, Calley led around 100 soldiers of Charlie company into the village of My Lai. Although they faced no resistance, they entered the village shooting. They murdered hundreds of civilians consisting mostly of South Vietnamese elderly men, women, children, and infants using automatic weapons, grenades and bayonets. Infants and children were killed with bayonets, and females were raped and shot.

The official American estimate of those murdered was 347, but a Vietnamese memorial at the site lists 504 names, with ages ranging from 1 to 82. In the My Lai museum in Vietnam, a marble plaque lists the names and ages of the victims. 504 people from 247 families were killed. Of these, 24 families lost everyone – three generations, no survivors. Included in the 504 were 60 elderly men, and 282 women (17 of whom were pregnant). A total of 173 children were killed; 53 were infants.

On direct examination during his court martial, Calley stated:

Well, I was ordered to go in there and destroy the enemy. That was my job on that day. That was the mission I was given. I did not sit down and think in terms of men, women, and children. They were all classified the same, and that was the classification that we dealt with, just as enemy soldiers … I felt then and I still do that I acted as I was directed, and I carried out the orders that I was given, and I do not feel wrong in doing so, sir

His guilty sentence of life imprisonment with hard labor was commuted to three years of house arrest by President Richard Nixon.

America perpetuated true evil upon Vietnam.

Coming to a captcha near you…

“Again, the US attorney’s office, whoever it’s going to be led by in the future — its not going to be Halligan, it looks like — will have to make a choice in the Comey case whether to appeal or whether to try and file these charges again and still deal with some of the same motions to dismiss that Comey has also brought,”

So the question becomes, is there a competent attorney that would tie themselves to the sinking pedo trump ship in the next 6 months JUST to bring up BS charges against comey? I mean there is always someone willing, her name was Halligan. I imagine that all folks qualified for the job probably already said “notybye” the first time.

I wanna laugh and say he is an egg taking an opprutinity to step outside his gender.

But…

Not only did her son not officially report her death, he wrapped her body in a bedsheet, stuffed it into a sleeping bag and hid it in his house.

But it’s not funny, just ghoulish, depressing and scary. That poor woman, she deserved better than whatever tf we call this.

Who cares what she thinks? Honestly the real problem is Maher for even talking to her, like who cares what the Trump family has to say about their fascist in law. These people are so beholden to wealth, privilege and status that Trump will never do wrong in their eyes.

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

Billionaires buy newspapers to print wonderful things about themselves.

Billionaires buy chat bots to make them say wonderful things about themselves.

Behold, our mighty enlightened future, just the same as our ignorant primitive past.

Peak Streisand effect. I actively dislike Kimmel, but I watched the video that made the orange boomer mad.

You’re not wrong. State rights is bit of a right wing soundbite.

Time well tell.

McMahon has argued that the recently ended government shutdown showed how unnecessary her agency is. “Students kept going to class. Teachers continued to get paid. There were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes,” she wrote. “The shutdown proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.”

As always, the question is “States rights to do what?”. And when it comes to education, we all know the answer is abstinence, creationism and the benefits of slavery.

Federal law directs that these programs be housed in the Education Department. The Trump administration is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Department.

I’m not sure if I am relieved that they aren’t even doing the state control BS.

The actual numbers are so much worse. The 15% overall “didnt know” is watered down from ~30% Republicans. They are lying either to the pollsters or more likely, themselves.

and every cunt with a “he/him” or “she/her” in twitter bio that doesnt need it.

🙄

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.
