Nestle makes formula? I thought they just made low-mid-tier chocolate.

I checked my seasonings and dry rubs. None of them contain corn or corn products. Even my Worcestershire sauce, which I was sure would, doesn't. It's sweetened with molasses. None of my vegetables or sides contain corn. As far as drinks go, I drink water.

My argument isn't that there isn't a lot of corn products everywhere, it's that if you're eating something containing corn syrup for literally every single meal of your entire life, then the problem is ultimately you. I don't even go out of my way to avoid corn syrup, and I still barely ingest any because I just don't like things that are sickeningly sweet.

Just eat simple and you'll break this rule a thousand times without even trying. It's not Monsanto's fault that so many people think that unless food is smothered in ketchup and hot sauce then it's "boring".

I never said that. I just can't go into more detail without breaking a KIA2 rule.

The original tweet specifically says that an animal that ate corn doesn't count as "eating corn". If it does, we might as well just say that corn touched the same planet as our food and therefore everything we eat is corn, because there is essentially no material in or on this planet that hasn't interacted with corn, or any other plant, in some "six degrees of schizophrenia" way.

I regularly eat steak with butter, salt, and pepper. Green beans, asparagus, maybe some Brussels sprouts, all cooked and seasoned by me. That's probably five meals in the past month right there. Swap out the steak with chicken and the butter with nothing, there's another three or four. I make almost everything myself, and if I don't make it I personally vet the ingredients.

So a conservative estimate for the last month at this point is eight, and I've just described two mainstays for dinner. I also regularly make soups, always from scratch, except for the stock which I always buy as low ingredient as possible. If it has anything other than salt and meat in it, I don't want it.

For snacking, I've had mixed nuts, some tofu with unsweetened soy sauce, hard boiled eggs with salt, rice with meat and beans, oatmeal with agave syrup, or smoked fish on crackers, just to name some of my favorites. The crackers contain no corn. I just checked.

Then you're going to need a time machine, because that change is here to stay, and it's not because of formula.

This frothing-at-the-mouth anti-formula movement is seriously confusing. It's like people are trying to cope by claiming that actually it was bad all along and it's a good thing that nobody can get any. And, as is tradition, they do it by lying and overreacting like any given Twitter drone.

It's also very interesting how the most pro-life people (not judging, I myself am circumstantially pro-life) are also the most anti-formula, despite the fact that formula by itself is responsible for cutting infant mortality in half if not more. If you want to retvrn to lack of formula, you're also advocating for the retvrn of 5% of babies dying before they reach the age of one.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. I can probably name ten meals in the past month that are corn-free even by this schizo's insane standards (ahh but did you know that chicken you ate breathed the same air molecule that once touched corn haha checkmate).

Every meal in the past year contains corn? The past decade? What the fuck are you people doing, drinking Coke and eating Fritos all day every day? Cook a goddamn steak, jesus fucking christ. Anyone who thinks this is an even remotely reasonable thing to say has some major problems, and diabetes is almost certainly one of them.

I feel like this would mostly be for antipsychotics. Namely court ordered ones. Antipsychotic noncompliance is a legitimate problem.

This is a good idea when applied correctly, but "imagine the compliance" was an extremely bad way to word it. He sounds like a supervillain.

Exactly. This isn't new. They've been molesting kids for decades, it's just much easier to bust them now that they're bragging about it on Twitter.

I don't believe this because the DHS would never admit to it. The DHS, like the rest of the federal government, exists to further the narrative and solidify the power of the DNC. They have no reason to release a report that makes leftists look bad.

That's not even what entrapment is, either. Entrapment is coercing someone into committing a crime that they otherwise wouldn't have. For example, blackmail is entrapment if you use the threat of exposure to get them to commit other crimes.

In my experience, people who think that secretly recording someone doing something bad is "entrapment" tend to be teenagers with a very tenuous grasp of how the world works, or mentally ill adults. Not a coincidence that both of those groups dominate Wikipedia.

It's because they don't actually know what "Roe vs Wade" means. They've heard the news talk about it and have a vague idea, but all they know is that it's somehow related to abortion.

Even so, the analogy still doesn't make sense. The first domino represents something they like, and the rest of the dominoes represent something they don't like. But that's what happens when people feel the need to crap out political commentary as fast as possible without actually thinking.

I think at this point he's mostly thinking "oh geez my back hurts" and "you don't have any stronger reading glasses?"

The man's about to turn 85. At some point you stop caring about anything except surviving for another year.

If I were a multi-billionaire and I wanted to destroy Twitter, here's what I'd do.

First, I'd offer to buy the company for some ridiculously inflated sum.

Then, because the company's value is almost entirely tried to its number of active users, I'd force them to provide proof of what percentage of users are genuine.

Then when they can't do it, thereby opening themselves up to numerous lawsuits and legal penalties, I'd withdraw my offer and watch the company burn down using its own lies as accelerant.

I'm not saying that's what Elon is doing, but it is what I would do.

And they still don't. They've been instructed to disregard anything Veritas says as alt right nazi conspiracy theories. Unless CNN says it, it doesn't exist. All this kind of thing does is preach to the choir, and as much as I appreciate being proven right over and over again forever, it doesn't actually do anything useful.

Never trust a teenager to not be in the wrong. They're like wrongness machines, constantly producing incorrect opinions and making horrible decisions.

They're one of very few demographics I trust even less than Canadian cops.

Feminist: Leave, mansplainer! You don't belong on this campus!

Memelord: It was not by my words that you are once again given offense. You were softened by...betas, who wish to pay you tribute!

Feminist: Tribute? I create content, and real work pays!

Memelord: Perhaps the same could be said of all prostitutes.

Feminist: You words are as empty as your wallet! Womankind ill needs a customer such as you.

Memelord: What is a woman? Bright dyed hair and obnoxious clothes! But enough talk, meme at you!

Memelord shows Feminist a meme containing the n word and she runs away crying

In all my years of schooling, the first time I remember hearing a teacher bring up their spouse was in college. Before that, zero mention. You could infer it, from the fact that some of them were "Mrs" rather than "Ms", or because they got pregnant, but that's about it. None of them ever felt the need to let me know that they were married. Because I was their student, not their friend. The classroom is not the place to bring up your personal life for any reason.

The government takes our money and gives it to them. If we say anything about it in certain areas, we go to prison. That's close enough for me.
