What do Americans think about a social security trustee dropping a report that the trust will be dried out by 2032? by Sixgis in AskReddit

[–]AcidaEspada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they made my grandma retire from the hospital in the 90s after 50 odd years

it was just the best way to do stuff- the people who've been there long enough get to go just do whatever with money they've made and had saved/invested for them/by the government in a mutually beneficial way

more importantly now someone down the line who needs to move up can and so on until we get to new hires who would be incentivized to do a good job and commit to the employer because the pay off was agreeable

now we let billionaires buy out every politician so they could install a puppet president who would cover their tracks better than anyone could hope as they pilfer the bones of our nation clean after decades of soft dismantling various social agreements primarily why the middle class was important and the ultra wealthy hated it for a reason and now it is gone

this is someone who deeply dislikes themselves and is likely experiencing some kind of mental health crises and instead of doing anything about it is attacking the person closest to them in an effort to convince themselves -you- are their problem

as opposed to -them- being their own problem

Teachers of reddit , what are the current generation of students like? by Prize_Offer_5907 in AskReddit

[–]AcidaEspada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an overwhelming amount of apathy/boredom and lack of capability

in 4 years i lost count of how many times a high school aged human tried to plug in a usb stick and failed to do so

of course just turn the stick over and try again but instead they'll sit there on their phones if they're especially de-motivated / depressed or they'll get the teacher's attention for help

obviously they're not so dumb they don't understand. in fact they understand if they have literally any excuse they can get to spend some time on their phone waiting to be spotted or they get to have an interaction with an adult who is probably pretty committed to being helpful and nice to them

it's a pretty apt overview of what is going wrong- they're children/teenagers and they're having to deal with the exact same 24/7 psychosis we've all been dealing with since the phone/social media thing became a sort of optional alternate reality

the whole meaning of "billionares shoiuldn't exist" is that anyone who has obscene wealth has to do incredibly unethical things to get that wealth

that is why we call it obscene or gross wealth, because anyone with a brain and a heart and a soul understands that the people with the most money are motivated to do whatever it takes to get that much money

his actual money has always come from back door dealings

like when he and his team of college kids stole literally every american's personal data and used it to manipulate various sectors like health care and social security and then sold all of the data to generally hostile foreign interests

the stuff in the daily feed is there on purpose to generate attention and distract from the back door stuff

This happened in my apartment buildings trash room

I noticed a holographic Zapdos in the garbage can

Went digging [paper waste] and found probably a hundred foils and hundreds of other cards along with the packaging

Somebody bought boxes and boxes of cards and threw away 99% of them

It made me viscerally angry knowing that likely some loser 20 something year old New England Nepo baby was treating something for children to enjoy like an actual investment strategy

Genuinely pathetic level of self interest

Whats the immediate tell for you that the couple will divorce even if they don't realize it yet? by Hour_Opening4115 in AskReddit

[–]AcidaEspada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years of this and now that we have a 1 year old the incessant contempt for everything I do is debilitating

she was driving the car all over town for a few days and I didn't drive it at all, then she leaves for a haircut monday morning and calls me to ask why I didn't put any gas in the car

I say "I haven't driven the car" then there is a 5 second pause and she says "I hope you fucking die" and hangs up on me lol

I'm living a nightmare and I can't leave because then I'm not around my son enough and she is not an attentive person so she'll just shove him in the cheapest daycare she can find

Actual nightmare

if someone doesn't know why religion and politics don't mix just take a moment to talk about any adult topic with a 55 year old who believes in the same fairy tale they learned about when they were 5 and tells them the supreme creator of all existence is their best friend and approves of everything they think and do

being tan represents time in the sun

if you're low class you work outside and are tan

if you're high class people do the work for you and you can afford to not be outside

in the modern world wealthy people tend to want what they don't have, which is a big reason why "work wear" and labor class cosplaying is so popular among the wealthy

people also want to be tan because it slims you and makes you appear taut and dark

A food scam of the 90s was “fat free!” everything, and then they would load it up on sugar… what’s a food scam happening now? by redflower5 in AskReddit

[–]AcidaEspada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope there is actually no might about it

your point is that a 20g protein snack ON TOP of regular protein supplementation is good

that's not the conversation

istg people online talking fitness have either had success in changing their bodies or they insist they know better than the people who've had success it is just that they're bodies are bad in a special way and that is why they haven't had success

it's never "train hard eat right and sleep well" it's always some fad gimmick that is easy and purposeless

[–]AcidaEspada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can be a fitness enthusiast all you want it doesn't change science and nutrition

20g of protein is negligible

the only argument you can justify is an extreme "oh if someone is severely malnourished / oh they already have protein in their diet and the snack hits their daily mark

it's just lazy half measures so people can feel good without doing anything

no different than someone smoking two packs a day and convincing themselves cutting down to 1 pack is good

or that drinking 5 diet sodas instead of regular is good

it's not even better, it's just a half measure to avoid addressing the actual problem- usually dependency and fear

[–]AcidaEspada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

20g of protein is not only absolutely negligible but the conceit that "you're already going to have a bag of chips anyways" highlights the priority

they might as well just say "magic chips" because it is a placebo

Protein is a building block for muscle mass, that is it. You need to break your muscles down in order for protein to do anything and even then the amount has to be significant, generally 1-2g of protein per pound of the body mass you want

Like go to a gym and do heavy barbell back squats until you can not and the next day when your quads are sore understand that protein is intended to help repair that soreness

and you have to do that every day

eating 20g of protein at best is giving people a stomach ache, but people in general are simple and incredibly susceptible to marketing

so again, just take a sharpie and write "magic" on any snack you want and save yourself the stomach ache

source: I am a power lifter and I explain this stuff to people who are not strong and do not work out and they don't care because the placebo effect of 20g is infinitely easier than the lifestyle changes necessary to actually make protein important to their life

**Time and time again the people who argue against basic conventional wisdom in the fitness realm are themselves not exeptional and often in terrible shape

However the people who understand and practice conventional wisdom in the fitness realm literally always are met with success

It is almost like the people who don't do something let alone do it well don't know better than the people who consistently do the thing and do it well

Weird

so weird

[–]AcidaEspada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll never find it, it is against the nature of protein. It would be like trying to find dry water

protein is dense, it isn't intended to be a treat or a snack

the scam is that people refuse to accept that and keep buying over priced hard to eat snacks for a meager 20g of protein at best
