  • Ultra-processed food linked to harm in every major human organ, study finds

    Jump

  • What do you mean there are no such things as farmer's markets?

    What do you mean there are no such things as other grocery chains that isn't Wal-Mart, Kroger .etc?

    Now I know there are maybe some small towns with a Dollar General or a Dollar Tree in them, but that is discrediting the fact that there are still alternatives here and there. Don't pretend they don't exist.

    Besides, why the fuck would anyone want to live in the smack of no where? Haven, Kansas is one of those places, don't be surprised.

  • Yes it partially is and I'm so sick of people denying that fact. Nobody ever has put a gun to your head and demanded you go to McDonalds and order a bunch of things from the menu.

    You live alone, in your home, with all of this food. Who is the one constantly decided to eat it at their own discretion? YOU! Nobody else! YOU!

    Stop detouring accountability and responsibility.

    And I know what you're going to bring up next because I've heard it before "BUT BUT THE SUGAR! THE ADDITIVES! THE ADDICTION!" blah blah. Sure, those are a factor but it isn't like the food themselves have the same kind of chemicals you'd find in things like drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Those are two huge differences.

    But okay whatever, keep blindly blaming the food for how you got 400 pounds one day after the next. Keep believing that half-ass narrative.

  • If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day?

    Jump

  • Did you get something that is along the lines of Microsoft saying you can extend one year of support? Because I remember getting that before I reinstalled my windows, like it was backed to October 2026 or something.

  • No. Supporting the other comments, the most you can do is reschedule them over and over. So you're wasting time just pushing back the dates but you will forget one day and they'll happen when you least expect it.

    There is no way to turn them off and that is intent by design. Because Microsoft feels that the user needs their hand held anymore in making decisions based on a new computer they spent hundreds of dollars on, on top of whatever licenses they bothered spending more money on just so they can tell you when you will update. There is no choice, no option. You WILL do it and like it. Because Microsoft.

    Most of the annoying updates I've found have been for .NET. Fuck .NET.

  • This is absolutely nothing new. This just feels like the hundredth lecture.

    At one point, I did care but right now, I kind of don't. Because people are largely going to gravitate themselves to whatever tastes good to them. It is just, they need to stop suing food companies and fast food joints for the reason that they've gotten fat when it was their lack of self-discipline and self-control that got them there.

    When, they've had access to this kind of information for well over 30+ years. No excuses now.

    Why do I feel like people bring these posts up so they can feel better about themselves by downvoting anyone who disagrees? Hm...

  • That wasn't the problem.

    The problem was, when 9/11 happened, the USA's clear-cut goal was to find Osama Bin Laden, who was the perpetrator of the 9/11 attack. 2 years later, didn't find Osama, but we wound up in Iraq suddenly because President Bush and his administration had a discourse based on lies that excused them to go to war in Iraq. During that entire administration's time, Osama was never found or caught until 2011 by Obama's administration.

  • The death toll was 151,000 ~ 654,965 and the numbers varied wildly so much that the wiki regarding the death toll can't narrow them down. What do you honestly consider 'genocidal'? Because, the USA went into Iraq for no purpose other than to revive the Gulf War and oil under the guise of "We know that you are making Weapons of Mass Destruction somewhere!" that accounted for those deaths, largely of them are civilians mind you that had no business in this.

    And yet you think that's not genocide. Well, what's the magical number to you then? Since it is obvious you didn't get it.

  • I think she's over-complicating this.

    What should happen, is educating the young Jews about the wrongs of what their country is doing to the Palestinians. What Israel is doing now, is similar in vein to what the Nazis did to them many decades ago and using the same template of an excuse to do it, like the US did with Iraq back in 2003. So we have two major wrong-doings of history coming into play and what the young Jews need to do, is overwhelmingly oppose their government and their leaders that are enabling this.

    There, straightened it out for you and yet you were a speech-writer?

  • What's the oldest website that's still alive that you've found?

  • Gaia Online.

    It's been around since 2003 and it still clings on to its early roots of the internet but with awful modern internet decisions.

  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

  • You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning?

    Jump

  • A lot of horror movie franchises would get retcon or some installments would outright be axed.

    Friday the 13th would not need to go on for 10 movies. Get rid of Parts 9, 3, 5, X and 8. This is now going to be a compressed, coherent movie series of 5 movies where we attempt to establish a better comprehensible story involving Jason. Kane Hodder is the staple actor of Jason.

    Nightmare on Elm Street, going to cut out Parts 6, 5, 2, and 4. Compress and re-write the story while retaining elements of selected pieces to build off from. The remake will not have ever happened. Freddy vs Jason would still happen but it would be involving the original creators of both Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th and Kane Hodder will star as Jason. No cop out ending like the original version got, but the victor would not only be decided by final battle but also body count.

    Halloween, take out 3, 4, H20, 2, 5, Resurrection and all of the Rob Zombie directed ones. Retcon.

    Scream, that movie series feels more like a trilogy movie so that's what it is going to be instead of all of these unnecessary installments.

    Final Destination, same thing.

    Saw, same thing as I felt the series ended beautifully with three movies but went entirely off the rails in later installments.

    Puppet Master, I would honestly keep to 5, get rid of all of the ones where they focused too much on the Nazi stuff and the clash they had with Demonic Toys.

    Leprechaun, just get rid of the ones where he entangles with the Hood and obviously the space one and max the series out at 2 films.

    Hellraiser, keep it to two movies.

  • Maybe but he will brand any Republican who is against him as, ironically, a traitor.

    Because that's who he wants on his team, people loyal to him, regardless of affiliation. But Republicans are easier to dupe so they mostly fell in line.

  • Democrats need to do more than "Vote for us because we're not Trump!" because that has only worked once out of the past 2 very costly attempts.

    Democrats need to stop toeing the line.

    Democrats need to do a lot more than what we've seen them do.

  • I am sick of anything that sucks up to them. Sports are sucking up to them. Networks are sucking up to them.

    You know, people who have hated muslims since 9/11, aren't being given anymore reasons to let off on that gas pedal. It is just making it worse.

  • Valve Claims Steam Machine Outperforms 70% of Current Gaming PCs

    Jump

  • The difference is, is that the Steam Deck is a handheld and for what it can do as a handheld is actually impressive. Given how the handheld market is dominated by Nintendo.

    The Steam Machine is marketing itself as a console and a PC, two things in where it can be outclassed in.
