A quote I heard somewhere that always sticks with me “Serial killers will groom themselves to become mass murderers”
It always starts with something small, and they always move up, at every point knowing full well what’s going on and letting it happen.
Every dinosaur bird is like:
Here is a badass apex predator that is perfectly adapted to its environment; it is going extinct because it won’t stop killing its own kind for fun.
They’re lying about crime rates so that they can pump more money into the police for when the people revolt.
As a mastodon thread amazingly put it: The police are their climate plan. The police are their housing plan. The police are their food plan. Capitalists don’t want to fix the problem, they want to silence anyone who brings it up and kill anyone who takes direct action.
I remember as a kid I locked the door to the car whenever someone would walk by. Most people don’t really notice or care but once a black guy walked by and I didn’t know about the racist connotation, so I just did what I always did and was devastated when I could see that I really hurt the guy’s feelings. I stopped doing it after that, now I just give a little friendly wave or smile. I’m still as overly cautious, but I’d rather get stabbed to death than make someone feel like that ever again.
How’s that guy beating protein starvation? I assume they’re also taking iron alongside their other vitamins and not just a single over-the-counter multivitamin. I do know that starch is probably one of the best forms of sugar you can have so they got that one on the money.
This thread is going reveal to a lot of people just how bad the science around sugar is right now.
Generally speaking, the point is not to consume too much and that would be nice except oops! our economic system is based on excessive consumption and sugar is kind of a really cheap ingredient to just add to make your food, so lets do a bunch of mental gymnastics so we don’t have to explain why it’s legal to sell canned diabetes with its 900 grams per can.
The fact it lacks nutrients and protein is another huge problem, you can go malnourished for awhile but because your body doesn’t produce enough protein on its own, you can literally starve to death if you don’t get it from other sources. Insulin is also needed alongside glucose to get energy where it needs to be so too much at once can overwhelm you and if do this long enough and you’ll get the type 2.
So make sure you’re getting all your nutrients, make sure you’re getting your proteins, and don’t consume too much or too fast. It’s certainly possible to do all of this through a nontraditional diet but our society and body has kind of evolved to create the optimal solution for keeping us alive in a sustainable fashion, or at least that WAS the case until capitalism started putting profits over human lives.
EDIT: Didn’t know where to put this so i’ll tack it on to the end. You can actually get huge energy spikes by consuming the glucose by itself (sold in stores as dextrose) as it’s basically pure energy, however since our bodies are designed to consume Glucose and Fructose in equal amounts you’ll be literally running on half power. This is also why fructose in any ratio more than 50% is really bad for you as while glucose can back up without any ill effects, fructose actually does have some harmful side effects while hanging out in your bloodstream and it’s theorized that’s the primary reason why processed food (especially HFCS) is so bad for you.
One that shuts itself off the instant their jaw starts to droop. Kids should not be on electronics if they stare at it like 😦

My favorite is when they discovered the universe has zero energy curvature which means nothing goes in and nothing comes out. Somehow it made more sense that zero could split into thing and antithing and we don’t even question it anymore.
The trainers forgot the magic word (magumbo)
Explains why it sucks so much shit.
We don’t do that here.
You know those little [] that appear when you upload an image? You can put alt-text in there.
I would like to think that for a very brief moment they have a glimmer of lucidity and realize “wow that’s really fucking annoying”
He is a nazi.
The idea of taking a complicated system and boiling it down to an essential value (or set of values) that describe everything is high-key fascism. It’s fine to simplify a system to better understand it, but the moment you start saying these abstractions have any kind of predictive capability outside their original contexts, that’s when you start getting into the eugenics shit.
