I don’t know if this is accurate — striving to reach financial freedom in the form of near infinite levels of wealth is not a sign of mental disease. That’s what I’d call a dream, and it could be purely motivated.

Now, having that dream and being willing to do anything to obtain it — that’s a different story. That’s what it takes to be a billionaire, you have to be completely willing to crush people beneath you for the simple fact that it makes you more money. Many people, myself included, are simply incapable of deciding to harm someone else for simple profit.

Like, I’m not a hyper space nazi because I’d like to be a Viltrumite. I just want to live 1000 years and be super strong and fly and stuff.

No, I don’t want to be any more depressed.

They make you earn it way more than other cats, but that trust is rock solid.

My first kitten was feral. I still have scars. She ate from my palm, no I should clarify — she demanded to be fed from my palm. She’d routinely clean me, just lick lick lick with that sandpaper tongue.

She was my cat, and distinctly my cat. She died in my arms and I’ve never cried harder. She was worth it, though. She’d have been there for me if the situation was reversed.

What is a CC?

climate Holocaust

The Holocaust was a specific event. It is not a synonym for genocide.

Gamespot or gamestop? Because if you mean gamestop, yes. If you meant gamespot, I don’t know what you mean — you’d have to explain for me.

I visited India in November. The only things I liked were the sights, like Charminar, Golkonda Fort, loved it.

Every fucking thing else, and I mean everything was awful. The air was bad, trash choking literally every waterway, stray cows, dogs, cats, sifting through trash for food, the drivers — holy shit street lights are not suggestions guys. First hotel I stayed in literally had rats fighting in the walls.

Food was good, until it made me so violently ill I had to call the trip off. People were very friendly, actually I should mention this — I didn’t have any bad experiences with the people (aside from the conditions they live in). Literally all of them tried to scam me though, like literally every single vendor that did not have fixed pricing.

All of this to say, fuck India I’m never going back — at least not while Modhi is still killing climate protestors.

So what you’re saying is I need to make a third group, the one who predicts how the one who takes from the first will influence Polymarket.

You’re a genius.

I can find sources but for one thing, aspartame has been looked at for years as a carcinogen, 4-MEI (caramel coloring) is also a carcinogen, articles like this one point to sucralose being quite bad for you in many different ways.

If your sugar free soda contains caffeine then it can actually contribute to hydration loss, this is because caffeine is a dieuretic (something that increases urine production and removes extra salt and water from the body).

Plus the simple logic is: sugar free soda cannot be almost identical to plain water because of the sheer amount of additives. You will always be better off health-wise drinking clean water.

I think if you look at in isolation, sure, much like beer in a survival situation. Sugar free soda is still linked with things like higher blood pressure, diabetes — which, to me, sounds like you’re just better off drinking water.

One thing to consider is that your relationship with taste might need to be re-examined.

Human beings can go most places in the world and find food. Taste is a big part of our ability to do so as a species, sure, but the fact remains that being able to eat/drink solely to satiate your desires (rather than survival) is actually an abnormality if we compare it to the rest of human history. In a sense, it is a privilege to simply be able to say ‘no’ to something strictly based on the flavor.

Try to guage it based on how you feel rather than how it tastes. You should be able to feel the difference between how a day with only water feels vs a day without water (I’m not including beer or soda here, yes it can keep you hydrated no it is not a solution to hydration unless you’re trapped in a desert). If it’s hard for you to notice a difference, give it a week. Being regularly hydrated should effect how you feel at every part of the day, especially in the mornings.

What did they think the J stood for, Jessica?

The Tibetan Fox always makes me think of Gmork.

Unfortunately you seem to use something called ‘your brain’ to conjure your own reasoning of the world around you. The average conspiracy theorist does not do this. The average conspiracy theorist believes that they’re the main character and everyone else is just drifting through life waiting to bear witness to their glory.

This idea that China is somehow going to save you or the world is brain death.

Xi loves what Trump is doing. Why would he risk stabilizing the U.S. when he could just not and continue to madly profit?

Also are you Han Chinese? Because if not, see my first point.

So brave

I don’t like your coworker.

Oh we’ve been burning those for a while now

Can’t wait for Peter Thiel’s good little doggy to be president. I’m sure this will smooth over neatly.

As I mention below, there’s a massive reckoning that will need to precede any second chance for conservatives. A price so steep that expecting it to be paid is functionally equivalent to believing Jesus will be reborn.
