    I cannot fathom how maple MAGOT 51st staters haven’t looked up the price of insulin in the US vs Canada yet.

      Consider all MAGAts cultists. You cannot fathom how fucked in the head they are. You could point this out, any logical person would see how crazy expensive insulin and other medication in the US Healthcare system is … but MAGAts have no logic whatsoever. They will just say its “fake news” or liberal propaganda.

      I am serious. You have to shut MAGA down. These bitches are crazy.

    The football world championship is going to be in the US too. The goalies aren’t the only ones going to be shot at.

      Iirc that’s actually pretty common. Well, maybe not ‘common’ but way less rare than you’d expect - it’s one of those things that goes undiagnosed most of the time cuz people think it’s just a mole and don’t put any thought into it.

      Genetically speaking, we have ‘milk lines’ similar to like dogs or some shit - the code is there for two rows of three (four?) nipples along the length of your abdomen. That code is just an inactive evolutionary artifact, but some genetic fuckup can toggle it back on.

      …that said, I don’t think hormones are a factor, just genetics. Probably still don’t eat our food though; most of it’s just a wad of sugar, salt, and grease, and diabetes and high bloodpressure will cause a lot more problems than a bonus nipple.

    Don’t buy american wine for example (not only cause is unbearably sweet), cause of pesticides allowed.

      They use fungicides on vineyards in Europe though. In France there are more people diagnosed with Parkinson’s around vineyards than anywhere else in the country

        Parkinson’s disease can be recognized as an occupational disease for people who have used herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides frequently and for many years in a professional context. The fact that Parkinson’s disease is now recognized as an occupational disease means that those affected are entitled to support from the employers’ liability insurance association if the disease developed as a result of their occupational activity.

    lol I didn’t even think of this. Personally, I think that hosting the Olympics is a really fucking stupid thing for a city to do, so I’m just gonna sit back and laugh.

    And yes, I’m American.

    Cut the crap on the “civilized” world farce. If there was any decency the israeli onslaught would be punished. Instead these countries stand by them and do nothing.

      Civilised doesn’t have to mean flawless. The US is still a horribly barbaric country, and the weapons Israel use to commit genocide come from the US.

      Many of the countries in question don’t have a military presence that could dwarf the others, nor an army that would willingly fight larger enemies for those morals.

      Obviously, I’m not including America in that statement.

        You’re correct but there is much that can be done without military intervention. The least these nations could have done is a weapons embargo and sanctions. Many other diplomatic levers that can be used but aren’t.

        That was my belief for quite a while. There’s certainly no shortage of stupidity, but the real problem is that people do understand the evil shit they vote for, and they fucking love it.

        Look at the Trump admin: he didn’t trick us into voting for him by giving some ‘on paper’ bs about why the things he does is somehow good; he just got on stage and started shitting on veterans, disabled people, women, immigrants, etc. The majority of voters looked at that and said “YUP! THAT’S MY GUY!!”

        We’re (collectively) just fucking evil. Idk if there’s a fix for that.

          The thing is, they don’t truly understand the consequences. Otherwise c/leopardsatemyface wouldn’t be a thing.

          They believe that they are free from consequence because they keep being told that, and by the odds they’re unlikely to face major direct consequences of their choices. And when they do, often it gets blamed on “the other side” instead of the people they choose to represent them.

          It’s not about them being too stupid to understand, or too evil to want better, it’s about an unwillingness to think about the consequences of their actions.

            Oh i’ll be around to remind them. I’ve been doing rounds on calling out the idiots that still keep blaming dems for not saving them from themselves. Voters are entirely to blame for this and need to grow up and own their entire part in this mess.

              They’d have to be willing to listen to you for it to matter. And shouting “you’re a moron!” at them has gotten little to no positive response thus far.
