Not only that, but CICO on its own terms just isn’t at all useful. It’s like saying “the cure to poverty is to make more than you spend.” Like, no shit. It’s just fully handwaving in terms of anything actionable. What are the barriers to exertion? What effect does food type have on feeling satiated? Is there a biochemical mechanism? Psychological? Social?

It’s just an absurd reduction to “personal responsibility” that seems to be the default answer to any widespread, population level problems that the speaker doesn’t really understand.

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…

I really want this to happen but I’m worried the scales in the West will tip in the wrong direction, further toward true and open fascism… We (yes, you reading this) have a personal responsibility to be informed and speak out as best we can. This history is not yet written — we have to write it.

A man sits down at a cafe and asks the waiter for a coffe without cream and a croissant. He sits and waits, and a little while later the waiter comes back to the table with only the croissant and says “I’m so sorry sir, we’re all out of cream. Can I get you a coffee without milk instead?”

Cannabis is not an illicit drug.

Evolution is not ‘survival of the fittest’ but rather ‘survival of the good-enough’.

Lol what?

The helmet is often used by the illustrator to label characters. A helmet labeled “Cat” might be expected here. This is a subversion of that expectation by labeling the helmet “Helmet”.

Does Fallout’s “Rule of Thumb” Work?

Great news, terrible article!

Mental health care in Canada is almost at that point…

I get your point, but if they’re enjoying themself: Give 'em hell anon. Pump that stuff out. If you’ve got something to say, speak!

Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.
