  • The scary part is I’ve seen a schism in the left on this. There have been times where people proclaiming rights for Gaza in the same breath compare Jews to Nazis even though the problem is with the state not the people. Everyone on the left agrees it’s a human rights issue for both sides but unfortunately some are picking sides.

    Meanwhile the Jewish people are backed into a corner so things are going to get irrational from them as well. Although I am not Jewish myself I am very close to many and all of them are anxious wrecks over this. Every other faith has multiple nations which have their religion as a state religion but Jews have only one choice if that’s what they want. The ideal situation would have been surgical strikes against Hamas but Netanyahu gonna Netanyahoo.






  • Fair enough, in that you are absolutely right. From my experience the poor who are hungry are usually the ones with bigger issues, drugs, violence etc.

    I was just trying to stress that the poor are only left with bad options. It’s a systemic issue stemming from capitalism and lobbying to create the unhealthy diet paradigm that the U.S. is only starting to shake. Even for middle class, there is always the drive to save a few bucks which leads to worse diet.


  • The poor don’t get many options. Ever been to a food bank in America? It depends a bit on each bank but 99/100 you are going to get more carbs than veggies. You almost always get one or two boxes of sugary cereal crap, one loaf of bread, and a mountain of pasta since it never goes bad.

    If you do get veggies they are likely rejects no one else wanted to buy. If you are lucky they are just ugly. If you are unlucky they are already starting to go and you have to cut around rot and eat them in a couple days. You will likely get canned veggies that are unpopular like cannelloni beans or something. If it’s frozen veggies they are likely frost burned to the point of barely being edible.

    Whenever we have hit a tough patch and needed help from a food bank we gained weight and feel like shit. Meanwhile the best diet that ever worked for me (keto) required fresh veggies and plenty of butter (or other fats), eggs, and meat. It isn’t cheap when you are broke and you really have no choice. It’s a societal issue, just knowing what is right yourself won’t help if everyone else is ignorant.

    My wife was having a brain fart once and knew there was a logical reason but couldn’t figure it out atm. So I drew a diagram top down geometry class style. Set her straight just like that. It’s just the light bouncing at an angle so that you can see what is on the front of the paper.


  • But JoJo got good long before halfway through. For me it starts with Battle Tendency but for many it’s good from Stardust Crusaders on. That leaves many more seasons and even more manga.
    My advice for anyone getting into JoJo would probably be start with Stardust Crusaders, they explain why Dio is a big deal in the narrative and the mask isn’t relevant anymore so none of it really matters.
    You are right that the first season is a total drag and very skippable though.

    This. My autistic daughter loves that generation of MLP and watches it daily for the past five or so years. At first it was somewhat enjoyable for the memes and subtle adult humor. Now it’s overkill and I think I could out quiz bronies at a MLP quiz game. Certainly more tolerable at first than many of the other shows she likes though.
