    It’s true the only reason the US didn’t go full Nazi in the 30s and 40s was we didn’t like how Germany was invading France and Britain.

    Otherwise there was a lot of support for a domestic Nazi party leading to and ethnostate. Perhaps even over all of North America.




  • If their goal is to lose weight eating sugar doesn’t matter.

    When I lost a ton of weight personally I just counted my calories. There were some days around holidays I just ate sugary junk, but kept it within my daily calorie limit. I was a bit hungrier those days but it was fine.

    Now talking long term health monitoring sugar intake it important but worrying over fruit is silly. Like you could eat as much as you’d want until you couldn’t eat any more watermelon and still be below the amount of sugar in a can of coke











  • I worked at a pet store back in college and this old lady would sometimes come in and load 2 carts top to bottom with temptations. She said it was the only “food” her cat would eat. I tried to tell her it wasn’t food, but no luck.

    I wonder if her situation started in a similar way to your story.





  • I understand what you mean by this but I’d like to disagree a little.

    Yes a generation is an arbitrary categorization that will have exceptions, but a group of peers born without a 15 year window will have similar expirences. We are shaped by our environments. The struggles, the media, and even the economy is going to have an impact on how these people interact with the world.

    Looking at the Baby boomers they are or were a statistically significant generation. Their numbers were huge due to the post war rise in birth rates. Even if you disagree with the arbitrary grouping, you can’t dismiss the sharp increase in number of births.

    Now on to politics. These large group of people born in the years following world war 2 keep electing individuals near their age. Out of the last 5 presidents all were born within 5 years of each other. Hell 3 of them were born the same year. Except for the Obama years every president for the past 30 years was born in the 1940s that’s insane.
