6·21 hours agoMost sweeteners don’t bother me but stevia has a very distinct flavor that I dislike.
As for safety, aspartame is extremely well-studied and understood. It’s been used for over 50 years now. Sucralose for 30 years. We also know a lot about the dangers of high sugar intake. The no-calorie stuff is probably healthier overall in the amounts people actually consume.
most US ‘chocolate’ is disgusting.
Most by sheer volume because four companies make damn near every candy bar in the grocery store? Sure. Most by percent of discrete chocolatiers? Nah. There’s tons of good chocolate in the US, it’s just priced as the luxury good it should be (turns out slavery is great for keeping prices down)
That’s the whole deal with the kingsnake and king cobra, they’re specialist snake-eaters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiophagy
As an American I sincerely hope that’s true, though I’d wager most of the people within “guys on quads” distance are pretty sympathetic to the effects our federal government is having on old allies.
Just pointing out that the crazy shit is regrettably not confined to one state’s laws.
All but impossible, the major players keep an eye on all the things necessary for nuclear weapons.
Same sky daddy as all the bank holidays, private school charter programs, on the money and in the pledge of allegiance, trusted to enforce truth in a courtroom, anti-gay laws of all stripes, all this nonsense, and uncountable other ways in which Christian supremacy is the presumed default in western (and especially American) culture.
Well they must just all be morons then since they live there but you solved it with no actual information about their infrastructure or logistics or anything. That’s the kind of people we need in the C suite!
1·4 days agoADHD is mostly a bullshit excuse
There it is, the “your mental illness isn’t real” ableist privilege. I knew there was something under the sealioning.
“I want evidence from people that are definitionally unable to be studied.” Fuck off with that and engage the idea with intellectual honesty. Also putting the entire onus on other people to change your mind.
1·5 days agoA bit of both but the root is that land is comparatively cheap. Building out is economically incentivized over building up. Municipalities can put their thumb on the scale by raising land taxes based on acreage but zoning restrictions are the actual solution (and these tend to be unpopular because the immediate effect is that development costs rise and bring rents with them)
You could be trying a little harder. We need the farmland and you need the port and tax revenue so it would be really nice if we could trust you actually are normal people but you aren’t making it easy.
They asked, on the internet, when using a search engine is the same amount of work with no waiting.

Spokane is a very sprawling city. It’s the second most populous in Washington but a third the density of Seattle. Including the “metropolitan area” of both Spokane is a seventh as densely populated.
AT&T used to include Usenet access as part of your Internet connection
And this was commonly seen as a Bad Thing (see the Eternal September) because normies change the culture of specialist spaces when they show up in large numbers.
Erase capitalism from this and it’s still “days I’ve barely been able to get out of bed to hunt/reinforce important relationships/create art”. Inability to focus, relentless forgetfulness, rejection sensitive dysphoria, much of the ADHD experience interferes with non-“productive” life just as much as a job and shit.
I’ll tell my friend that her Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is actually fake and she’s just applying the Corporate America Greed Driven Lifestyle to her close relationships, that’s going to be great news for her.
ADHD is a lot of things.
If you have a culture of understanding and tolerance, it doesn’t feel like a disability
This is you extrapolating your personal experience to dismiss the difficulties many face that have nothing to do with tolerance and understanding and everything to do with their brain chemistry undermining their social life and ability to engage with hobbies.
Trick question, the answer is c) you establish mutually beneficial ties with your neighbors and stop being jingoist fuckstains so neither of you have to launch missiles at each other.
