I normally avoid clicking on links and instead form my opinions based entirely on the comments, but in this case I went ahead and clicked. This article really spoke to me. I feel like this author truly gets me. What a joy to read. 10/10.

So this only counts for actual news, right? The q fake news still gets to be there, right? That's a lot to think about.

I'm driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn't like I'm depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don't have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get over this? Do you have some other food woes you want to get off your chest? Or some other random thing you would like to discuss?

This will definitely not make me use TikTok. I can only imagine what kind of garbage people will post on text form. I'm obviously not the target demographic for that platform but I cannot comprehend what people enjoy about it. I had some old coworkers who used to send me tiktoks daily and they were annoying, insane, made no sense. Now put that in text format.

People are already dying and states like Texas are walking back regulations. They do not care.

I'm cat sitting for my brother and sister in law and had a great time playing with him this morning. He can actually do a backflip, which surprised me because he's huge. Sorry for the kind of fuzzy quality but this is the only picture I managed to get with his ultra magnificent tail on full display.

Idk if you ever read various subreddits or forums about relationships etc but it seems very common now for really nice guys to just out of the blue turn into a woman hating monster and their partners are shocked and appalled because it seems out of character for that person. Social media is really pushing that red pill stuff, and coupled with these types of legal changes, it creates a very dangerous environment for a lot of people to be in.

A lot of ultra processed foods are also ultra palatable foods so they're high in fat, sugar and salt and very hard to stop eating. They're also calorie dense so you eat past the point where you might become full with less calorie dense foods. I read this article earlier today and really liked it except that I thought the author went a little light on the judgement against this type of food manufacturing. Yes, we really do live in a world where it can be hard to both find and prepare "real" food, but the consequences of a western or specifically American diet have proven to be pretty intense.

I'm pretty sure that Business Insider is known to not be a very legitimate news source. Whether they run conservative, liberal or other, I don't know because I don't normally read it. I appreciate that you posted the link with a very well thought out and rational commentary. I am only commenting to state my opinion that it is probably best for anyone viewing Business Insider links with a grain of salt as you have done since they might not be impartial.

Yikes. I'm really tired of politics and yet the second we let our guard down it's going to get way worse...

It's not entirely about demand. They screwed over their supplier and that's a lot of it. You can buy from underwood ranch directly for $10/bottle plus shipping and they have it in stock so that tells me it isn't just that jalapenos are unavailable. Maybe jalapenos are only unavailable to Huy Fong because nobody wants to sign a contract to grow for them.

Typically when an insurer exits a state they either nonrenew the policies, meaning that you have coverage until the end of the policy period, or they stop writing new business but keep their renewals. Neither one of those constitutes taking the money and running. It's so weird that people would see it that way.

Seriously though? They bought Bethesda and look what they're doing there. Now they get to add another massive developer as if they weren't already ridiculously huge? This monopoly stuff has to end. I don't just mean gaming either. Like 5 companies control our entire food supply. There can only be one internet provider in any area. It's insane.

It depends what kind of peanut butter. Anything labeled 'natural' should not have any sugar added and should literally just be peanuts and salt. It should have a layer of oil on top that you have to stir in. If the peanut butter is not labeled 'natural' or does not have a layer of oil on top it's pretty much guaranteed to have a lot of sugar added. The kind with sugar is much more common.
