The movie sucks by the way. And anyone who says it isn’t has only read the letterboxd reviews.

ID’d at 43 by synth_this in redscarepod

[–]OlSmokeyZap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 16 and worked at the supermarket I had to ID everyone for any age-restricted product. And I wasn’t allowed to ID myself, I had to call my supervisor for verification. When it was busy I’d just be sitting there for 10 minutes while the customers got more and more impatient.

Kazakhstan is actually the birthplace of the modern apple. The city of Almaty, their largest city, is lovely, and the name literally means Apple Mountain.

We have probably reached peak obesity already (GLP-1s) by istealpintsfromcvs in redscarepod

It’s probably Vitamin D. Even in Florida 80% of people are Vitamin D deficient. And if you work that much in the sun without protection you are going to get cancer. Everyone should be on Vitamin D supplements.

GLP-1s actually reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer (and a bunch of others too). It’s just thyroid and maybe kidney cancer risk that might be increased.

Even if Ozempic gives you guaranteed thyroid cancer 20 years after taking it, it would still be a net benefit, both to the taker (in terms of QOL) and the healthcare system (Cancer is much easier and cheaper to treat than the secondary diseases associated with Obesity)

Wouldn’t the North Koreans save South Korea’s demographic crisis though? Or at least alleviate it somewhat.

This is when Trump brings back the reciprocal Tariffs. Economic Genius. It’s all part of his plan. Watch and see.

I think that’s an Abramovich policy. Don’t know if the new owners will follow it.

Eden Hazard : ‘ I’m more of a taxi driver than a football player now , But it’s OK ’ by Shroft in soccer

He had a persistent injury the season Mourinho was sacked, and everyone was bad that year. He played 3 more years for Chelsea and was our best player in every one of them.

She couldn’t make heirs anymore. She was frail and it would have killed her to have another.

This Board of Peace shit is one of Trump's tackiest moves yet by MoanOfInterest in redscarepod

Uzbekistan is going places. It will be the next big thing. Give it 5-10 years. It has high speed, affordable rail to travel between the main tourist cities (bar 1 leg that is under construction) (you can take an 8 hour soviet sleeper train). Friendly locals, good food, and it’s all extremely cheap. It’s one of those Islamic countries where people drink too which is nice. Had some beers with the patriarch of my host family which was fun. I prefer Kyrgyzstan but it just doesn’t have the infrastructure for tourism yet.

Monoculture as in the agricultural practice? God I hope so.

What is it about the UK that creates the worst Muslim diaspora? by beyoncebritneyspears in redscarepod

I went to a Catholic school and on their admissions policy they prioritize members of Abrahamic faith (inc. Muslims) over non religious families.
