If that 79 year old, out of shape sack of shit has never felt better in his life, that is a pretty sad statement about how good he has ever felt IMO.

Ohio lawmakers are so dumb it hurts. Due to HB250, my son is no longer allowed to wear his Garmin watch at school or use his phone, but every kid has a Chromebook that allows them to do pretty much everything you can do with a phone in the first place.

The right built a disinformation machine. Are you saying the left has failed to build a disinformation machine? I see that as a feature, not a bug. Republicans are in a cult - no amount of truthful propaganda is going to sway them, they believe what leader says to believe.

Good for him, I guess, but If you have $100 million, you do not need to budget like everyone else does. At 8% interest, you'd be making $8.3 million dollars a year doing nothing - which is multiple times more than the average American will earn in their entire lifetime.

Everyone that debates Trump should learn to do a Trump impersonation and then debate him as Trump. Or at least they should just make a point to start their response by pointing out some oddity in the way he speaks - like: You ever notice how Donald refers to himself in the third person? Kinda weird.

This is part of the reason why I unfollowed all of the alt accounts. If they were posting actual useful information to combat the disinformation/propaganda that the administration is putting out - that would be one thing, but being subscribed to them pretty much wrecked my feed.

If people wised up to the fact that gambling is a legal scam to take your money, that relies on a subset of the population with gambling addiction, it would not be a bad thing... but, given that we're living in Idiocracy, I'm guessing that's not what's going on.

The reason I don't eat in the evening is because digesting food increases heart rate and increases stress/lowers HRV (which affects my Garmin metrics).

On the diabetes CGM question - I had an elevated A1C that was approaching pre-diabetic. I used a CGM to figure out what foods I was eating that were elevating my blood sugar and showing up in the elevated A1C. Blame doctors for reporting on A1C if you want to stop non-diabetic people from using CGMs

Why do I fear that the constitutional originalists on the Supreme Court are going to come up with some truly wacko explanation for why they are siding with Trump on this... They'll probably rule that the legal definition of a "person" when the 14th Amendment was written meant white land-owners.

I agree with you in principle and think Pete is kind of Republican Lite (pretty much all mainstream Dems are TBH) - but if the only realistic choice was between Pete and some fascist Trump clone, I would still vote for Pete. I just hope it doesn't come down to that.

This headline for this article is enraging given that the man literally murdered a 6 year old child. How is his motivation for committing this heinous act more important than the act itself? Committing a 'hate crime ' could mean anything. Are these written by an AI or something?

Based on the headline I thought he was making pro-Marxist comments (which I would have been fine with), not that he was one of those nutjobs saying the military is too woke and equating acknowledgement of systemic racism to Marxism.

I agree in principal, but IMO climate change is a much larger issue and the pollution we are talking about doesn't cause climate change. People today are going to freak out and say it's too much too soon, then our children will all look back and say it was not enough and way too late.

That's one of the most tragically hilarious things about Trump/MAGA - they're so bound by the belief that burning fossil fuels doesn't cause climate change that they're utterly unable to see that the rest of the world has moved on - they're not debating it any more and we're being left behind.
