I think having a backlog of books you intend to read that cost you maybe 10-50 bucks individually (barring collectors items) is wildly different from having a wall of shoes you’ll never wear that individually cost you anywhere from $100-$1000 (I’m not actually sure about the prices but I know scalpers go hard for this shit so 1000 doesn’t seem crazy).

I can find sources but for one thing, aspartame has been looked at for years as a carcinogen, 4-MEI (caramel coloring) is also a carcinogen, articles like this one point to sucralose being quite bad for you in many different ways.

If your sugar free soda contains caffeine then it can actually contribute to hydration loss, this is because caffeine is a dieuretic (something that increases urine production and removes extra salt and water from the body).

Plus the simple logic is: sugar free soda cannot be almost identical to plain water because of the sheer amount of additives. You will always be better off health-wise drinking clean water.

For one thing I wasn’t the OC. For another, what the OC immediately pointed out is that women have been invading male only spaces for decades. In fact it was practically propagandized following the second World War, unless we’re conveniently forgetting about ‘Anything you can do I can do better! Anything you can do I can do best!’ .

Literally, men’s only private clubs were almost sued out of existence because of women alleging discrimination (because they weren’t allowed in and the club catered to men first, god forbid).

All of this to say, completely disregarding what men actually do in male spaces is thoughtless at best — misandry at worst. Truth be told, I don’t actually give a fuck if men or women have safe spaces — I don’t expect anything of value to come from either environment. I blocked the women’s only community immediately.

I think if you look at in isolation, sure, much like beer in a survival situation. Sugar free soda is still linked with things like higher blood pressure, diabetes — which, to me, sounds like you’re just better off drinking water.

Yeah I seem to remember ‘I’m rubber and you’re glue’ arguments from your before, confirming nothing has changed.

So you’re a child, got it.

The suggestions that are being used as placeholders for numbers.

Big difference between being allowed to piss and shoot and being allowed into a women’s club to talk about women-specific issues.

Your comment you trog, only things I added were burping and farting — congrats on your tag.

So it isn’t and hasn’t been.

I have them tagged as ‘Kind of a piece of shit’.

Idk when I gave them the tag, but it happened before this thread — gonna bet that they’re going to continue doubling down.

Yes because everyone knows when men get together all they do is burp, fart, piss, and tell racist jokes.

There are a ton of dogshit takes in this thread.

One thing to consider is that your relationship with taste might need to be re-examined.

Human beings can go most places in the world and find food. Taste is a big part of our ability to do so as a species, sure, but the fact remains that being able to eat/drink solely to satiate your desires (rather than survival) is actually an abnormality if we compare it to the rest of human history. In a sense, it is a privilege to simply be able to say ‘no’ to something strictly based on the flavor.

Try to guage it based on how you feel rather than how it tastes. You should be able to feel the difference between how a day with only water feels vs a day without water (I’m not including beer or soda here, yes it can keep you hydrated no it is not a solution to hydration unless you’re trapped in a desert). If it’s hard for you to notice a difference, give it a week. Being regularly hydrated should effect how you feel at every part of the day, especially in the mornings.

I can’t tell if this is a joke

Every single time I’ve known a friend who got the house that they were renting rugpulled it has been a boomer selling. Every. Single. Time.

Like yeah, my mom is a boomer and I love them dearly. The generation is rotten, and gen x isn’t much better.

A lot of techbros are convinced having a watch on makes people take you more seriously.

What did they think the J stood for, Jessica?

And narratively, in some ways.

I could eat nothing but mac n cheese, hamburger, corn, and hot cheetoes for a month and generate a more compelling story in my bowels than all three of these games.

Well, Dragon Age 2 is such a departure narratively and gameplay-wise that they should have just called it something else. None of the games reach the level of polish DA:O had.

Personally I also thought ME:1 was the only good Mass Effect, but Bioware fan-thems really don’t like that.

Edit: Also, Taash is such an insufferable character I’m half convinced the writer was paid off to make the most unlikeable trans person in fiction (Now that I’ve had that thought I realize I don’t know of many ‘trans’ villains — anyone have good examples? Even characters like Taash that are just strictly unlikeable.)

Poor people can be mass murdered and poverty will go down, you do realize?

Yeah I don’t live in those countries
