Funnily enough this is exactly how people think including our house.

I took mine down when Roe v Wade was overturned and the Progress Pride flag went up. I had been considering putting the American Flag back up recently if Democrats start winning again.

People from every country like to pretend that patriotism isn’t a natural part of living but will stick their heads so far up their own asses when talking up all their food, culture, teams, or any other number of arbitrary things.

And while there has been some divergence in Patriotism vs Nationalism, they’re essentially the same damn thing but with better connotations for one now lol.

Meow do you like to drink milk from a saucer?

People don’t realize that ultra processed food is basically everything they eat and drink. There are very few things that aren’t, and they’re mostly whole food adjacent.

If it’s not straight up water and plain vegetables, fruit, and grain equivalents, it’s more than likely ultra processed no matter how healthy it claims to be.

So much of non-genetic cancers comes from what we ingest willingly. A large portion of it would stop if everyone ate a well rounded whole foods diet. But shit is expensive, takes time and kwh to make, and people are busy trying to enjoy life.

Conventional Cereal? Terrible. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13774827-is-eating-cereal-every-day-bad/

Certain processed fiber gives you liver cancer Ffs lol.

Don’t believe him!

Factoid works. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/factoid

You might be thinking of alternative fact, lie, wives tale, myth, fallacy, falsity, fiction, fib… or factoid.

They see me Sailing, and Baiting.

How is this not about Tesla still… It literally has Tesla in the title?

It’s stretch mate.

… Astroturfing… For who? Lol.

When you’re staring down the barrel of genocide, survival is all that matters to all but the most flagrant with their life.

Very few people give a shit about their culture when you’re looking at your children and deciding whether they should die for your cause.

I’d like to think that’s gonna be a hard no for 99% of good people.

Do the math yourself. The answer is there lol.

According to this it takes about 50 tons of PE granules to make about 40 Kilometers of clingfilm.

Moar plastic manufacturing. Thickness of 2/10,000 of an inch. Plastic is crazy cheap and efficient compared to other methods.

Plastic bags. Full roll is 348 lbs which makes 35,000 bags.

If you’re wondering about crude to plastic efficiency…

It takes about 0.4 gallons of crude oil to make one pound of plastic, which means that 11 million metric tons of plastic equates to approximately 9.7 trillion gallons of oil.

A nice copout answer from the US Government lol.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is unable to determine the specific amounts or origin of the feedstocks that are actually used to manufacture plastics in the United States.

This oil website even busts their chops on it lol.

This fact itself raises questions such as, “How many barrels of oil go into plastic packaging?” A question that is quite difficult to answer. The Energy Information Administration absolutely refuses to answer it, saying that it collects no data in this segment. Yet data from a few years ago, when the EIA still collected information about this, shows that in 2010 some 191 million barrels of LPG and NGL were used for the production of plastics along with 412 billion cu ft of natural gas. The liquids amount constituted about 2.7 percent of the country’s total petroleum consumption. Most of the natural gas used in plastics production was used as a fuel rather than feedstock.

Plastics production accounts for about 4 percent of global oil production. That’s according to figures for 2012, so now it may well be higher.

Some interesting glass to plastic energy efficiency info, not discounting their completely different use cases.

The total energy required to produce, package, and transport a 16 oz. PET container is 32 MJ compared to 34 MJ for a 16 oz. glass container – virtually the same. Producing a pound of plastic resin, however, uses nearly nine times the energy of producing a pound of glass. These comparisons assume the use of virgin glass.

And yet I’m still here… Arwoooooo~

For those unaware how Health Insurance works in the states.

You can have health insurance all you want. Especially if this bill is recent, they will cover a large part of the cost, but most people are still on the hook for Usually between $1000-1500 of all healthcare before insurance REALLY kicks in. This is called the Deductible (and Out of Pocket) expense. You also pay a ‘Premium’, essentially a subscription cost that normally comes directly out of your paycheck.

For single coverage, just yourself, it’s about $1200. For family coverage, where your insurance covers everyone in your house, It’s usually double that. So ~$2,500-3,000.

So this person probably hasn’t had any bills yet this year. Once they pay about $1500 in costs, everything after that becomes (mostly) free. Depending on what you have, insurance will pay anywhere from only 80% - 100% of the cost from whatever the procedures and meds are.

Then funny part is that some places in America the cost is so high, this might be a situation where their insurance DID kick in already and their insurance is still making them pay that much. Or it’s a case where you get a bill for that much but your insurance hasn’t paid it yet… so it looks like you’re supposed to… so you do… then two months later you get a check for that amount.

It’s so. Damn. Silly. And I resent Republicans every day for it. That’s not even the Fascist MAGA Theocracy republicans. Just your stock standard ones lmfao.

Not me. Tis a silly word. Now begone peasant. I must get back to mine shrubberies.

Do not use free range pallets for anything that isn’t strictly decorative with lots of coating on it. Those things are treated to high heaven with loads of chemicals and you never know what they had on them.

Woods preservatives and methyl bromide are known carcinogens and they’re not even recommended to burn, let alone grow food in.

Eggs isn’t true. The only thing you’re buying is for sound of mind for ethically raised chickens and the orange color of the yolk specifically for things where you need that nice orange color.

Nutrients aren’t statistically significant. Taste has no difference. Especially if you aren’t eating them plain.

For all the people wondering if it’s better to close the lid or leave it open. The point of the study and numerous others before is that it doesn’t matter lmfao.

If you feel better with the lid closed and want to look down on others who keep it up, no amount of studies are going to change your mind. That’s why you’re in here asking for more while choosing to ignore this one, and the last ones, and mythbusters…

And because there’s some weird overlap between ya’ll… Yes, squirt is pee. There’s no magical 4th dimension bladder ovaries that allows you to piss all over someone and call it female jizz.
