I actually don’t think it’s possible to forget. In the sense that pattern recognition and chain-of-event are thought structures baked into our very beings. We don’t intuit that most things are random in a greater sense, and probabilistic on a finer resolution. We’re always looking for self-satisfying, singular paths of causality and they don’t exist.

Touch red hot metal burn skin; Stab self in face make self not alive. A necessary abbreviated thought structure essential to human survival.

Extend that perspective to eat ween get beetus. Wait.

What is the field of nutritional epidemiology hoping to accomplish by obsessively searching for links (their magic word) between disease and dietary intake? It assumes, by the very nature of the question, that there is a direct causal relationship between diet & illness. There can’t be. Any sufficiently complicated system of interrelationships is going to have massive amounts of turbulence and chaos!

Because there’s a contract dispute with the foreign agency contracted to manage our parks.

Which happened after severe cuts about 2 decades ago.

Don’t act all proud.

I live in Canada.

I will never again visit that shithole country called the United States of America.

I’m going to design and print a shirt that simply says

“Legal hotdog”

The real difference in butcher bacon is that they get the better cut of meat. The cheaper cut goes into the sliced packages for grocery stores.

The EMF from power lines was a real mind virus that went around when I was a teenager!

I’ve been alive too long and have seen this pattern play out again, and again, and again. Feeling a little sad right now, actually.

For another example: all my life the common sense accepted wisdom, supported by real dermatologists was that to keep the likelihood of skin cancer to a minimum there is zero known healthy level of sun exposure. Well that’s all out the f’king window in 2025 because we now know the deleterious effects of insufficient sun exposure are vastly more severe compared to an increased morbidity for types of skin cancer.

I don’t want to be mr critical, but… there’s something wrong in our whole approach to these “studies” and I don’t know what fixes it. Any experts wanna help describe what I’m getting at with the right technical language?

Try to follow the thrust of the conversation.

Truth.

Yesterday I opened a huge bung of ground beef that I got from Costco.

Fried up 1/3 of it up and when I tasted it… Damn that’s f’kking bottom round roast beef 😋

I’m not a nutritional epidemiologist.

But I’ve started to get into learning about it in the last few months.

It’s really starting to feel like this is a giant bullshit field, and as much as they are trying to find useful results, there’s something severely wrong with how they seem to arbitrarily assign causality and correlation.

In a contrived example: “People who live near power lines have more cancer” - “No, poor people live near power lines because they’re poor, and poor people have more cancer”

What are the kind of people that eat processed hot dogs? I can promise you they are not millionaires. I can promise you it’s not people who can afford filet mignon but decide to have a steamed hot dog. It’s not people who work out and take care of their bodies. It’s not people who cook.

So when a study is done like this, what answer are you actually getting? probably finding out that the type of people who eat processed meat are more prone to these conditions for a variety of considerations that are just totally left out of the analysis.

Your cynicism is makes impossible to have a rational discussion.

Everything’s going to be back bite with some little sarcastic pissy remark and I just am exhausted by this kind of dialogue.

And?

This is PAYDAY. Open and shut slam dunk.

I wish my rights were this clearly violated.

I used to have my sister put makeup on me, and use shopping bags to make “dresses” which we’d then stuff with fake boobs. I thought it was awesome and great fun creativity. I’m straight AF, but still flamboyant AF. You are what you are.

Guys RTFA

It’s just a mild variant.

Ah… ** this ** is what finally convinced her. Fuck you, Melanie, you ignoramus.

Lots of people have completely bought into the recycling message. To them I say: Why aren’t Pepsi and Coke’s own bottles made from recycled material?

I’m now 50 and I lived through a huge part of the push for recycling, I saw how our city implemented recycling programs, what they did with the waste, and so forth. I’ve seen all of this evolve for decades now.

At first there was a moderate amount of profit to be made by our city, harvesting and selling plastic to China. Well after a while China stopped paying for the plastic and our city no longer had a market.

Then our city bought into the propaganda from the soda peddlers that the way to go was not to insist on industry change, but to enjoy the benefits of adding hidden recycling surcharges to consumer goods. Why, think of the revenue! Think of how shiny you can make your recycling facilities that collect waste nobody will buy!

It’s been a long way since 1995 when our city started the recycling program. As the plastics game faded, weirdly enough the recycling operations were privatized with little public oversight. Weird hey.

Its a huge charade… now the taxpayers have built a massive recycling infrastructure for a private company to collect our meticulously cleaned trash. They separate the concrete, metal, and electronics scrap, the rest gets burned or sent to be burned. We waste an insane amount of water cleaning our trash before they incinerate it. We pay a fucking shitload as taxpayers for this farce and the waste management company are rolling in money. Stinks worse than any dump.

It ended all hope. Now everybody’s just screaming into the void.

You can only think 70’s cars are beautiful if you weren’t alive in the 70’s.

They were UGLY AS FUCK then and now. Just piss poor design in every way.
