So if you want to know how miserable a zero carb diet actually is, there is one person I know who does not have diabetes, they overproduce insulin to the point their brain is starved of glucose by their liver.

My partner has reactive hypoglycemia, not diabetes, and lives on a diet of protein shakes, steaks, cheese and some legumes because the tiniest bit of carbohydrate will make her go into hyperinsulinenia. But no, she's not in r/diabetes.

I predict any time a wealthy, elderly California Democrat chooses the Presidential nominee that nominee will be out of touch with the electorate and lose the general election, but I don't want to say I told you so.

Nobody who says, β€˜I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.

The biggest doomers are the folks that exude toxic positivity and refuse to critically examine the situation we’re in and how we got here. Engaging in denialism and adopting failed tactics is precisely how you end up in a vicious cycle where everything gets increasingly worse.

The existence of sharps implies the existence of ... oh ... okay ... yeah I guess that makes sense.

9. The argument that we only have two choices and you have to pick one is not only depressing and fatalistic and lacking in vision and understanding of what politics is, but also an argument for replacing such a terrible system, not for shrugging your shoulders and accepting it.

5. Criticizing bad behavior or bad policies is not harmful to the party or its chances. It is the bad behavior and bad policies that are harmful to the party and its chances. Criticizing it is how we fix it!

You think people didn't vote for Harris for amoral self-interested reasons. I know I voted FOR Harris for amoral self-interested reasons. We are not the same.

I truly don't get what is with these Al Gore posts.

And to be completely honest, I don't think the anti-genocide protest vote lost her the election, I think she lost it on purely economic and racist grounds. But people who are against genocide are more accessible for your ire than people who 'just wanted something to change after Biden'

As long as we are being super hyperbolic, if you're fine with genocide to the extent you think other people are wrong to not vote for a candidate that participate in it, to keep you safe, I'll see you there but we won't be speaking.

Its not my fault you won't make a third option viable.

Thats not a bridge too far for you, totally acceptable, gotta vote for the Dem because no matter how evil, still less evil than a Republican blah blah blah picking and choosing who you'd rather see die.

Fine, you still accept a candidate who ships 2000lb bombs to an ally thats vaporizing children.

If Harris lacked moral clarity on something as clear as genocide, why do you think she'd have moral clarity on Iran or any other subject? Is murdering Palestinians different than murdering Iranians?

I remember this as being a vaguely 'The South Will Rise Again' space Western led by a horrible person, so, no... the property is toxic, maybe let it die.

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Why is having a Nazi tattoo not a dealbreaker for you fucking ghouls?!

Why, in the era of open celebrated Naziism in America do you even want to take the risk of elevating someone who has credibly demonstrated sympathies towards them to a position of political power?

"If you don't let Harris do a genocide, a bunch of other people will be killed and its your fault."

Totally a democratic way of doing business. Not at all going to the polls and using people's deaths as a cudgel. Good luck with that.

You are very clever and smart, excepting that your moral choice results in even more deaths later on by normalizing fascism.

Like there is no one better for the job? In this whole pool of people in his district, no one isn't wiser about 'if I get a bad tattoo it may affect future job opportunities and communicate the wrong things about myself.'

Maybe, but if you then say 'I had no idea' then instead he's just intellectually incompetent and still unfit for the role.

If it wasn't important we wouldn't still be talking about it and people wouldn't be bending over backwards to defend it. I think if you and your buddies got a skull and bones tattoo resembling a nazi insignia, I don't have to care about 'what you meant by it.'

Perhaps I'm being unfair. Don't care.
