It's worth it for a spin at millionaire roulette.

If it's insufficient then there's no risk of removing the geoblocking then.

It's not smears when it's (mostly) true or opinion.

Translation: you can't parent your own child so you want the government to do it, as if they'll do it properly.

Who needs age of consent laws, you should just parent your kids!

If they are having sex with people they shouldn't, you've just been a bad parent

[behringer → mrguyorama]

Freedom of speech and freedom to read that speech is not the same as having sex with people you shouldn't.

On: Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line

Yes but that would make it "unhealthy" for many Americans. So for the health-conscious eater, the real hamburger wins.

Salt is not a health concern unless you specifically have a specific subset of cardiac health problems.

The vast, vast, vast majority of people do not have any reason to restrict salt intake.

47 percent of adults in the US suffer from hypertension: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12196499/

which is much more easily explained by a garbage diet, no preventative medicine so to speak of, obesity, work/family/financial stress. there is a lot of space between 2100 mg of sodium for a 3 piece chicken w/ fries, and ~150 mg to put a little life into a patty.

High salt increases likelihood of kidney stones

[TeMPOraL → littlexsparkee]

And high water increases likelihood of electrocution. And very high water increases likelihood of finding yourself with a wet T-shirt.

"Increases likelihood" is bullshit at best (manipulation more typically) without quantifying how much, and how much would it need to be to be remotely significant.

The health-conscious are famous for their hamburger usage.

I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"\

He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time\

You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu\

But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad\

It's been sure nice talking to you"\

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me\

He'd grown up just like me\

My boy was just like me

Why not make the rich pay for this? They can afford it. You're taking your anger out on the wrong people.

On: Oracle may slash up to 30k jobs to fund AI data-centers as US banks retreat

[behringer]

Those numbers are fraudulently underreported by the US government.

Smart people have sold their US backed holdings. I'm making bank on gold and the international market.

[ece → behringer]

Gold being a good investment is about as glaring a sign as there is for the third-worldifiction of the economy by dictators and the rich.

[kamranjon → behringer]

Can you go into more detail about what you did with your investments? How did you invest in the international market?

[Tostino → kamranjon]

Not op, I however, I also did that. I used vanguard's international index fund.

[behringer → Tostino]

Pretty much this

[0xy → behringer]

VTI (US equities ETF) was up 16% last year. No idea what you're talking about, but it's not grounded in reality.

[Hikikomori → 0xy]

Dollar lost more value.
