Yup, can't get rid of someone like Trump if enough of the population is either willing or eager to go along with him.

I just looked this up. The idea is called an ethnic religion, where a religion is closely tied to an ethnicity as opposed to universal religions like Christianity or Islam. It's far from the only one, but it is the one that has the most mind share, at least in the West.

He's also refusing to meet with Biden. This is about politics for DeSantis, so that he can complain that Biden and Harris aren't doing their jobs.

I wouldn't exactly call that assassination unprovoked. That specific general had led the Quds Force in operations that caused the deaths of hundreds of US soldiers and the injuries of tens of thousands of other soldiers. Then there's the many, many other operations that the Quds Force have engaged in as part of Iran's proxy wars in the region. He definitely earned a spot on the shit list.

Was it a wise decision to target him? I don't know. But he had done plenty to deserve his fate.

They're still helpful in sorting out a 600 calorie meal that's going to keep someone on track to lose weight versus a 1200 calorie meal that is going to make them gain weight. Even if it's not exact, it's a useful guideline.

Wonder Bread is just gross junk food. Also, if you consult the label again, it's worse than that. The 5g added sugar is for 57g of bread, so it's nearly 10% sugar by mass.

There are good brands here. I usually get Dave's Killer Bread. It still has some added sugar, but there are varieties with fairly small amounts.

Oh, sure, I've been there. Am there. And Reddit may have gotten to that point with these features where maintenance costs overtook the costs of removing them.

I was ready to hear something like a story from someone who had signed onto a medical trial and was upset the trial was ending. Nope, instead an absurdly short support period that seemingly is fed by the same culture of replacement over repair that has infected our economy.
