They’re not cunts. They lack the depth and warmth.

Yes, but realistically most Americans do not live in a place where that is possible.

You mean there’s a sucker reborn every day!

Pretty sure it’s historic. Same was that x-mas is used for Christmas. I think it’s related to the Greek alphabet or something? Idk I’m feeling disinclined to actually Google it but I definitely even grew up calling it x-mas.

This is the actual answer, along with decades of right wing propaganda pumped into our ecosystem after Citizens United.

We have been cooked for a while now. Some people see it, but it’s not the majority, not by a long shot.

An interrobang‽ In the wild‽ Thank you for that!

Sure, but keto says it totally fine to eat a steak and a stick of butter and nothing else. That doesn’t seem sustainable.

Also I’ve never met anyone that does keto that allows any carbs. I’m glad that apparently that’s not the only way though.

To be clear, I do not care if all you eat is steaks and butter. Not my business. Just trying to offer insight into the down votes. I don’t think it’s the IF crew doing it. It’s probably people who are anti-keto.

This has pretty much always happened to me too! You are not alone!

I think it’s because keto is not super healthy long term. You need fiber, friend. You. Need. Fiber.

That being said I’m a big believer of you get to choose what you want to eat, so do what you want with your own body!

I’m in this boat too. Most of my online friends I only really get to talk to via discord. Not sure what I’m gonna do, because they won’t end up budging.

Pretty sure it’s in P2025. At least the need to make it so employers don’t pay for it.

This is the correct comment. People are very quick to demonize food and food manufacturers, and I’m not saying they aren’t making money on stuff that could be bad for us, but my understanding is that a lot of food additives that people worry about have been proven safe at reasonable consumption levels.

We are not zebrafish! Usually, anyway. And no dose info? Suspect.

Water will kill you if you drink too much of it. Everything in moderation!

I also worry home prices will jump to eat up any monthly cost differences, too. Like okay your 50 year mortgage is $100 less a month but we increased the price of the house by $50000 so unless you’re already a homeowner (and plan on renting next) then you’ll be further priced out of the market.

But won’t the rate be higher, like 30 year rates are higher than 15 year rates? I don’t know much about economics but I remember that being a thing when I was looking at mortgages. I assume it has to do with long-term risk for the lender.

Also, how many people actually stay in a home for 50 years without moving? I know my earlier house payments had a larger portion going to interest (I assume this is a math thing?) than my more recent payments, therefore you build equity really slowly at first, meaning you’re not building enough equity to even cover the costs of the ownership or the cost to sell unless you stay in place for a long time.

I’m just a dummy but this feels like a scary thing and not a good thing.
