when a country votes for the "grab'em by the pussy" candidate TWICE, then reality is a parody of itself now . we've come full circle.

it doesn't make anything better if you consider the "they obviously cheated" angle, because literally no one did literally anything to stop it

desire or ability to control people’s lives

no. the desire is there. and in some cases the ability too.

but they are still muppets, controlled by people more powerful than they are. the fact that elon musk, the "richest man in the world" doesn't get everything he wants should tell you something.

you need to change your mindset away from thinking people like elon musk are the top of the food chain. he's fucking not.

money and power are intimately connected, but they are not the same thing

While raising their children, Bill Sr. and Mary instilled in them a strong work ethic, the importance of community and the significance of helping others.

that could all be a lie of course, who knows...

yes, bill gates's parents were loaded. i'm talking about families that have been too wealthy to measure for many many generations, since banking was invented

i mean, fuck musk and bezos and all the rest too. call me a conspiracy theorist, but i'm skeptical of the notion that these people are actually the "richest" of all rich people

yea, obviously if you're at home breast-feeding, then you're not buying as much formula for whomever is tending the baby while you're at work.

i always thought it was funny how people will feed their baby some synthetic formula, but as the kid grows up then they insist on cow's milk instead of some alternative

you make a good point, but i think of "rich people" as the families who have been unimaginably wealthy for hundreds of years. not musk, not bezos, bill gates, etc. the "old money" doesn't care if you know they're rich--in fact they would prefer you didn't. they just want to control the trajectory of your life in order to keep you in your place, and prevent you from encroaching on their position of power.

think warburgs and rothschilds, not the idiotic rich people flaunting their wealth on twitter

the peasant class exists to generate more money for the owner class, not the other way around.

always has been

yes. i'm re-thinking the "eat more fiber" propaganda

thanks! i found this:

However, the beneficial effects appear to be dependent on broader lifestyle factors. Participants who followed a carnivore diet also simultaneously engaged in sufficient sleep, physical activity and stress management. This highlights that the carnivore diet in isolation is unlikely to be universally beneficial

are there any studies on the impact of a meat-only diet on the gut microbiome?
