Their bank accounts and political ideology datapoints were, I guarantee it.

I wonder this exact thing, given that soil is a living organism full of beneficial bacteria and other organic materials. The food we eat consumes it, takes what it needs, and then we do the same.

I find it also interesting that while the article claims this is a cultural thing vs. being done for heath benefits, I’d argue it became cultural because of a universal understanding of health benefits.

Now I’m not saying this is some long lost concept that is the missing key to fix all our ills, however I can see how consuming soil was an integral part of maintaining gut health and boosting immunity way before we understood how those systems work.

They practically have already, without using the word ‘Democrat’. Read the EO from Sept 2025 where anyone who isn’t pro-Capitalism, pro-Christian, pro-nuclear family, pro-Fascist, and pro-American hegemony was declared an enemy of the State.

No really, read it and ask yourself who it describes and why. I know I recognized more than enough to know where I stand when I read it.

Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.

Hmm. Turns out living your life fearing what you don’t understand, refusing to learn about anything new and double down on your own ignorance, and carrying a heart full of hatred that doubles in weight every time you step outside or turn to entertainment is a really unhealthy and even fatal way to live.

I can only imagine how chronically raised blood pressure and brain + body pickled by constant fear and anger (stress, really) wreaks havoc on the system and is a big factor in the exacerbation of health issues that become fatal much faster.

Fear is fatal, acceptance transcends. We’re all going to die, but if you’re going to ‘live’ your life in constant fear and anger you’re not going to make it very long.

Exactly this. Our oppressors seek to create as much distance between themselves and us, and middleman management-type positions have become incompatible with this model.

Imagine every business entity being ‘run’ by AI that will be sold to us as ‘separate entities’ of whom are actually owned and (barely) controlled by less than a handful of individuals masked behind LLCs. Added bonus that AI does not need to get paid and is a handy tool to absorb accountability. Just one more update, guys! Idk about that raise, because all I can do is ask the corporate chatbot. I didn’t get bereavement time approved either because the corporate chatbot counts it as sick time and apparently I’ve already used mine without being notified.

This is exactly what capitalism gives us: the illusion of choice and this fits right into it.

This reminds me of when my cat would stretch really big in the middle of a nap and fall back asleep right in the middle of the stretch, moving in slow motion back to the pre stretch position. I’d pet him softly as he curled back into a ball, and he’d do this light sigh with a purr rumble.

I miss him so much.

I’ve been thinking of this too.

Don’t doubt for one second that the consumer will foot the difference, every time.

Same with eggs here. They’re still higher than before they were astronomical, but not by much.

Yep, and their pro life stance includes babies with multiple women, who are left to take care of the resulting children on their own while being judged for maintaining a ‘broken home’ by these very same fucks.

Tennessee, a state in the US.

2011. I bought one at Target as a nostalgic adult and played with it for maybe a day. Wasn’t nearly as fun as I remembered and they totally changed the features. Kept it as a keychain for a bit then donated it.

Those eyes knew what they were doing…

I’d be so proud if this were my kid, and would have this photo up at my desk.

Used to roll, can confirm that MDMA and E typically come in fun shaped pills and have since at least the early 2000’s. Nothing new here, just a headline for pearl clutchers.

Essentially, she showed herself as who she truly is: an establishment Democrat more intent on maintaining the status quo instead of listening to the left and helping push the party further towards progressive policies and reshaping the party into something that represents the modern constituency.

Yeah that.

Whoa! I just told my partner literally yesterday that lol is the laugh track of texting.

Also Screetch, IIRC from an episode of I Love the 90’s on VH1 like 20 years ago.

It’s mostly this, but the other too.

Again, by design.

‘Yeah I recognize her, that’s my wife!’

-After he was shown a picture of the woman he raped in the 90’s, and referring to his wife whom he was married to in the 90’s.

lol as much as I don’t like her or anyone else in this administration I do appreciate that she actually looks her age.

Seriously!!!

Remember when most of their grievances were about an overreaching government that dictated how they lived their lives? Now that their party is in power that’s all they want to fucking do to the rest of us.

How does ‘personal responsibility’ translate into ‘I don’t want this and you shouldn’t have it either’?
