The main risk of sugar isn’t the calories themselves, but rather their effect on our fullness perception. That is, the more sugar we eat, the harder it is to feel full after eating something. This in return cases a vicious cycle, one that can easily lead into obesity. I don’t know if that same issue can happen with sweeteners but I don’t generally trust anything that tricks our senses to such a degree. I don’t consider coffee the holy grail either, it’s just that its negative health effects have been tested for ages and are acceptable for its overall benefits. But that’s my own risk assessment, with only my health in the line.

It’s hard to get a good grip on the health neutrality of diet soda when the companies who make them have lied to us about sugar for decades. Maybe sweeteners are just their next lie, who knows. Much of the research done on sweeteners is funded by the ones who profit from it. The food industry have far more power than anyone should be comfortable with them having.

I often think of the analogy where the Tories are the CIA and the UK is a Latin America country.

Whatever your reasons, that was whataboutism.

Expecting others to know what goes on in NASA discussions is moronic at best. That’s not the topic we are in. You didn’t even link it or reference it.

The Indian caste system is a humanitarian crisis. Would you rather westerners ignore it? There’s just no winning then, is there?

Credit is definitely due and this is an amazing feat by India.

I haven’t bothered to discuss the other topic. Is there even any point when US issues are always on the front page here? I probably know more about US politics than my own country at this point.

Though of course you could also go there and take a jab at Americans. Let me know when you do so I can give you some support.

Doesn’t really matter if the economy got bigger if it just means more money to corporations. The average person has certainly not seen growth. A mortage increase of 5% coupled with low wage increases, high food and fuel inflation left most people much worse off.

Then again, this unit of measure has always been a very poor one in countries with huge wealth gaps.

Boats. Mash them. Boil them. Put immigrants in them.

I don’t think hands are good at peeling potatoes. Maybe if you sharpen your nails?

Would slowing them down be enough? I’m thinking along the lines of a magnet.

Whataboutism bs. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

whataboutism /ˌwɒtəˈbaʊtɪz(ə)m/ noun the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.

Reminds me of ant lines.

Oh, this is what interacting with Mastodon means. I don’t get notifications for the tags.

And that’s okay, mate. I haven’t tried to look clever. I don’t consider myself clever. As a matter of fact, I’m a moron and I’m happy to be seen as such. Welcome to my level, by the way.

I’m not used to things like Twitter much. Do people just not provide insight when they post? Your posts reads like “And I think neither correct nor clever. But I’m not going to say why because my head lives in my ass.”

That’s some weird kinky shit you got going on in your imagination, Dhave Config.

But I don’t blame you for it. I appreciate my emotions and I think they’re beautiful. I’m glad to be somewhere I can express them and I would like to keep it that way. Wouldn’t you too, Dhave?

This makes me a little warm inside because it feels like chatting with ChatGPT.

That’s amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

That’s such dodgy shit to say that I had to dig your profile.

A non-existent one. You and your opinion couldn’t be more dodgy. It screams troll factory.

I’m sorry Dhave but I’m incapable of running captcha to test you. And even if I did I still wouldn’t be sure. What you’re saying has no basis in reality. It’s the kind of fuckery the Russian government feeds its people.

You and your peers have to try harder. There’s like no fun in it for me if the things you say are this stupid and almost impossible to believe.

As far as your comprehension skills go, it looks like I might as well be 5.

Here is some common sense for you: linking something doesn’t prove shit about your knowledge. Have you ever written anything in school or university? You can cite but to show you have learned a damn thing you still have to use your own words.

As such, I don’t believe you know what fascism means. Let me give you an example mate:

I’m as smart as Einstein. Here is why.

Do you believe me yet?

And you’re the one who brought all this up, funnily enough. Since you’re so talkative, why not tell us how Keir Starmer is a fascist. Hell, you could even convince me here since if I were to vote for him it would be because he is the lesser devil.

Or you know, just go on about your nonsensical ramblings.

No. That link only proves that you know how to google and find articles that fit your narrative. Back in your days, did schools accept such blatant plagiarism?

And liberials? The fuck is this. We are not discussing American politics. Get out of here lmao. Are you a troll or some shit? This is so fascinating. If you are, you fooled me good and I just have to say that I’m damn impressed.

You gotta be kidding me, mate. Do you lack even the most rudimentary understanding of government types?

At the very least, try and understand what fascism is. You’re an insult to the people who have suffered under fascists.

Current Labour is incompetent and corporate cockglobers. Facists though? Are you one of those who believe we are led by underground lizard or some bs of equal magnitude?

If you’re still claiming that I think the Labour will magically fix anything then I doubt you have understood anything I said. Again, no surprise. I’m not saying any of this to convince you. From my perspective, you’re a lost cause. I’m not even sorry to say that. Get your shit together. You look sound like our water companies right now. Dumping toxic shit wherever they can.

History is a cycle. I’d rather not be in the shitty part of it, thanks. We are not there yet but we are in a turning point. And people like you are harmful. Maybe not by intention but that’s the result.
