That is true
That is true
Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?
Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.
Maybe. A possibility for sure. I’m just not really into policies of trying to save people from themselves.
For me? I do what I can by just avoiding it as much as I can.
No, because just banning things rarely achieves the desired results.
And whether it’s cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, too much sugar in general is the problem, much more so than the subtle differences between the two.
My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.
The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad
If those taste half as good as they look you nailed it.
Perfect a pizza recipe too and you’ll conquer the world.
Brave little toaster… watching that when I was a college student really made me think… question things and life itself. When I was a kid it was just a cute little story not much different than Toy Story
Yes, even as someone without anxiety this happens. This is especially true if I haven’t gotten enough sleep the last couple/few days. Also, it comes with a hangover besides the physical ailments. Lastly, if I’ve been stressed for a long while about certain things and those eventually get resolved, I’ll still feel anxiety/stress for awhile, it’s what I consider burnout as it applies to me.
No one noticing this is a terrible photoshop makes me suspicious Lemmy is mostly bots and stupid people
Cut out Reddit completely if you haven’t already, that helps a lot.
Reddit is so much bigger, but if you remove that competition to cure the same “itch”… you’ll be here more.
I have some people here telling me I’m a leftist, and others right.
Guess that kind of proves my point I’m not really left or right
I said I wasn’t left or right, that’s it
Well, didn’t I say I was neither left or right?
Not really, some of those things yes but others no.
I’m not making an excuse, I gave you my opinion on why it is the way it is and why politics in the US are screwed up.
The other element is not all Democrat politicians are the same the same way not all Republican ones are either.
The problem is there is constantly less moderation in political positions in both parties. But if you think Presidents like Eisenhower and Trump are exactly the same just because they are Republicans, or Senator Masto vs Pelosi just because they are Democrats you’re being ignorant.
The world isn’t black and white either
The Nazi thing is extreme, but I get what you are saying.
I’m also not disagreeing with your overall message but it’s my opinion on why the current political scope in the US is the way it is.
Who cares? Without trucks moving goods, we literally have nothing and society as we know it doesn’t exist.
