This baffles me so often. I have a coworker who is on cigarettes, weed, caffeine, and alcohol. But is not vaccinated, because that’s unhealthy.
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
You can’t make that shit up.
There’s a reckoning coming with social media mark my words. I don’t know when or how but it’s going to reach a tipping point when the destruction is enough.
It is destroying families and communities not government, or science, or policies. People like Elon and Zuckerberg are sowing the seeds that are actively destroying the fabric of society.
It’s already happened, we elected Donald fucking Trump to be president TWICE
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
I mean, people do tend to eat more sugar than they probably should, but the main artificial sweetener that I see used in candies is xylitol, which is, unfortunately, also a laxative. Eat more than a few xylitol-sweetened candies at one sitting, and one’s in for diarrhea.
I assume that we don’t have an artificial sweetener in 2024 that both avoids having a laxative effect and has the appropriate properties to subsititute for sugar in candies. I’d be delighted if someone would manage to develop one, though.
Xylitol also have interesting properties for preventing tooth decay. Not the worst sugar alternative imo
IIRC it doesn’t do anything prevent tooth decay, it just doesn’t cause it, unlike sugar and many other sugar substitutes.
There’s no test to be a parent. All you have to do is fuck. Creampied by some rando behind a dumpster? Congratulations, the MIRACLE of life.
Human society never really evolves, just rows in circles.
Ok this is way more than mildly infuriating…
Am I an asshole if my first thought was “vaccinate the child while the mother is outside”?
You shouldn’t be able to smoke outside an ER anyway… People come through there with life threatening problems and need all the oxygen they can get
Need to be 9m from the doors around here and maybe as smoking gets less and less popular it will change to outside the hospital’s lot like we already do with schools…
Does not help if no one enforces it. About 10 years back we were on vacation and had to rush our little one to the ER. Since it was a breathing issue and the waiting room was crowded, they suggested we wait outside. Sure enough, then we had to get away from the smokers congregating near the “No smoking on hospital grounds” sign.
Of course the personnel weren’t interested in helping to clear that, and we decided people waiting at the ER were already under enough stress
