  • Do you drink a lot of coffee?

  • More than 400mg of caffeine a day can cause a host of health issues. Of course, because it's legalized and widely available, people discredit the risks.

    Just like acetaminophen, which is responsible for 56,000 emergency department visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths per year, according to the NIH.

  • There's an argument to be made that we're just seeing the vestiges of our unfinished 1865 civil war resurfacing.

    In other words, the reason the US has not had the tremendous social strides that such a wealthy nation could be expected to have, is because we never fully resolved the core ideological divide. And, like cancer, the remnant losers' beliefs have metastisized from their concentrations across the South to infect pockets of the nation as a whole.

    As an example, about 100 years ago Michigan was inundated with migrants from the South, who moved to take advantage of the manufacturing boom, when Detroit was an auto powerhouse. That influx of people also came with their leftover confederate loser's ideology. And naturally people then settle and spew out progeny that they inculcate into their hateful ideas too, poisoning generations down the line, which eventually brings us to today. But if we look back over the last 160 years of American struggle, the echoes of the civil war have remained, because the victors allowed them to persist. And in many cases, returned former Confederates to their seats of power.

    In other words, the line drawn in the sand was eroded by a mistaken hope for unity, with those who will never embrace the Union's requirements of what makes us all Americans. To still hold confederate views is to BE as unAmerican as possible. They are traitors.

  • There's a whole fucking generation between Boomers and Millennials. Yes, Gen X does get overlooked often, that's the running joke. But they're far more likely to have soaked up Boomerisms and benefited from better economic ROI than Millennials who hit college just at the cusp of the 2000s, and for whom everything thereafter has been a shit toboggan.

  • Not that I'm advocating this, but one of the reasons America's media has basically stopped covering any unrest in France is that French protestors have found that fire inspires remarkably rapid government compliance.

    Similarly if Corporations are people, physical action seems to be one of few feedback loops left to reverse their constant and invasive overreach, as they line our government officials' pockets. Nonviolent direct action apparently falls on deaf ears, as seen by BLM, Flint Michigan, Dakota Access Pipeline protests, etc. The State's "law enforcement" has no such compunctions.

  • Kamala Harris won politicaly engaged voters, but lost voters who don't follow politics.

  • 53% of white women voted for Trump. Your "America won't vote for a woman" argument doesn't hold water.

    Americans won't vote for specific women, sure. Namely Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris. The fact that they are women is not why they lost so cataclysmically; they ran platforms that were deeply unengaging to Democrat and Independent voters. Worse, they tried to appeal to Republicans, which only underscored how out-of-touch and unprepared they were to hold the office. Moreover, neither of those specific women, nor the DNC that backed them seems to have learned anything from their continual failures, which, again, only deepens the divide among Democrats' necessary coalitions.

    Their failures are a function of being bad at post-Obama politics, and bad at running for the highest office in the land. It's not because they are women.

  • A major Geordi character arc revolves around his eyesight. Yes, his prosthesis affords him additional abilities and allows him full function, but that says nothing of the otherness he has felt and psychological impact of being different throughout his whole childhood, and the challenges he faced for acceptance, even within StarFleet.

    To dismiss his personal struggles while assuming that he's fulfilled and would OPT to not have regular eyes is incredibly arrogant and ablest, no? It is also deeply lacking in awareness and consideration of psychology, which is pretty bang-on for Boomers of the era that STTNG came out. "Oh, well looking at the END RESULT, he turned out fine, despite his massive trauma."

    The likelihood is that he did not turn out fine, we just don't see the granular details of his psyche, on screen.
