How can a LC thread be derailed by a political topic?

just tell us who you think is getting kicked off the island in january

Ah, the days when wearing a stupid pandering hat could sink a run.



Remember this?



Good times.

It was one of the biggest reasons he lost. It was the centerpiece to discredit Dukakis.

Zinke.

Not that that act was good or anything, but the "slope getting steeper" is more population growth than anything else. Here's the incarceration rate:



Also, discussing increases in prison population without taking into account the very real increases in crime rate is going to lead to faulty conclusions.

We build sports stadiums on them around here.

"Anyway, if you are legit concerned the health care system in the US has me going to a **** doctor who could not wait to prescribe me medication based on two high bp readings during my two visits. "

The whole hypertension thing is a swamp. Some German genius (Braunwald?) wrote the book on hypertension - it's about 600 pages long and insanely complicated.

One of the biggest problems is that the "right" way to check a blood pressure is to put a patient in a quiet room, low lighting and wait 20+ minutes before doing the test. Which approximately no one in the history of the ****ing world has even done, for obvious reasons.

It's probably the most over-treated and at the same time under-treated medical issue in existence.

MM MD

Yeah I don't even take it that far at home but I take it the same time every morning right after I get up and sit still for a good 30 seconds or so. I did up my cardio warm up from 5 minutes to 15 minutes at the gym as well, cuz why not?

Well, if you're seeing another doctor you pretty much zeroed in on my point; that's what I was going to PM you about. Obviously exercising and 'eating right' is good, like duh, but it's such a useful mantra that people tend to forget there are health issues that can be totally unrelated. That the doc wanted to prescribe medication doesn't necessarily negate this.

You might not've been totally serious with your trump example but he does highlight and exacerbate this misconception that fast food equals poison and walking around isn't adequate exercise; it's pretty much a meme at this point, the omg-how-is-this-dude-not-dead. I personally don't eat fast food but there's nothing inherently wrong with it, and nobody is saying big macs actually are the secret to immortality. The insidious problem is people inferring the opposite; if a person avoids big macs because they think they're poison that's fine in a sense, but avoiding big macs also isn't the secret to immortality.

Spoiler alert:



I just don't want to see people fall into the trap of thinking, hey, I shop at whole foods and have never had a big mac, nothing bad can happen. That's not how eating food fundamentally works.

That's twilight zone. I was about to add 'maybe hobbes can weigh in'.

McDonald's french fries are kinda ****ed tho

They used to be fried in beef tallow and McD's didn't divulge this info. Fry-loving vegans and Hindus were pissed when they found out. I'm not making this up.

Ah yes the Trump derangement syndrome diagnoser has logged on to attack the loser of the 2016 election. In the context, and make no mistake, of DEFENDING Donald Trump. The day Jeff Sessions rolled back the HATED NEOLIBERAL CENTRIST OBUNGLER'S marijuana guidance lol.

I'm not saying you or stinkubus likes Trump, make that clear. But you hate Clinton. Mostly Hillary, Bill by association.

And it's sad. I'm authentically left wing, my leftist critiques of Clinton have credibility because I don't only ****ing make them when the libtards are hurting Daddy's feelings.

whoever is in charge at MSNBC went bezerko and was banging on his desk saying "WE NEED A NATE SILVER" so the underlings went to the mad scientists and they created STEVE KORNACKI in a lab.

My man has more sympathy for voting for Donald Trump in a Presidential election than voting for the RFRA in Congress

where you aren't just endorsing the stances and policy decisions, when you vote yes on RFRA you're voting for decades later court cases challenging provisions of laws that don't exist yet.

Their fries were sub-par even back when they used beef fat.

wait im confused, is my secret heart motivation mysogyny towards Hildawg, or is it im such a devoted Trump toady that I could not browse past a poast that was even slightly anti Trump?

As far as Sessions goes im on record as I would spit in his face given a clear shot at it, and thats the position ill maintain today. Nothing the DOJ does would stop me from doing anything I wanted, certaintly not repealing some mealy mouthed obama doj policy that should have been a legalization effort anyway.

I don't trust anybody who doesn't eat fast food at least once in a while.

I don't think the McD's are sub par on taste levels. They're just ****ed because what they consist of.

And I don't think I've eaten fastfood at all in over three years. Not that I'm opposed to it.

Fly the jesus figure liberal, cracking his knuckles to type up a defense of three strikes. because thats what real liberals do historically revise three strikes and dadt and religous freedom discrimination bills because REEEEEEEEEEEEE Trump

Huh? They consist of potatoes, grease and salt.

Yeah I agree with your point. It's not poison in moderate amounts at moderate intervals. The average trump meal according to those reports is a couple of Big Macs, a couple of filet o fish, fries and a shake. That amount consumed as a single meal on a regular basis is going to leave a mark, even if you play golf a lot.

There is a big problem with the common diet here in the US and how fast food fits into it. even tho I think the extreme reactions like severe calorie deficit, paleo, keto and IF are counter-productive for most people concerned with long term health and body composition/weight management--especially if they are using it as a jumping off point to cold turkey bad impulse control, people really should be more concerned with nutritional value of their food.

It sounds like you enjoy toying with diet as a hobby and that's where I'm at. I have been on the fence about going vegan for a couple of years due to environmental and social reasons but I'm too selfish thus far.

Again, thanks for your concern. No hard feelings I hope.

They have some sort of phenol that preserves them for eternity and other of those ingredients no one can pronounce and aren't on the good side of health.

I liked how Scaramucci or cory lewandowski or someone was like "he took the buns off though" like somehow removing the buns from that schmorgasbord would tilt it back into the normal meal column lmao
