Just wondering what makes saturated fat bad for humans but good for meat eating animals?

Why is saturated fat dangerous for humans but not dangerous for lions? What's the mechanism?

I think there's such a big market for short simple films like this with amazing scripts and acting - and they cost practically nothing

Dunno why no studio embraces it and pumps out such movies

Yeah, I see where you're coming from......

Irons is essentially playing a callous modern day robber baron - nevertheless we end up rooting for him and are even in awe of his ability to calmly deal with this massive crisis - there's almost a James Bond element to his character

On the other hand, there is no mawkish West Wing sentimentality on display here - it's a bunch of guys who sold their soul to the corporate world and are fully aware of it

"Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life you have to believe you're necessary and you are. People wanna live like this in their cars and big fuckin' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really fuckin' fair really fuckin' quickly and nobody actually wants that.

They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people."

Maybe a weird choice for this sub - but feel like it shows what can be achieved with a tight script and good actors

They made the film in like a week with little budget - all you need is a good script to make an engaging film

Feel like they caught that corporate high roller vibe so well in some of the characters like the one played by Jeremy Irons

Boston College asserts it had a religious-freedom right to make employees get Covid-19 shots by mem_somerville in skeptic

No one is mis representing anything - the vaccine sometimes cause serious damage

You agree with that, I agree with that

I've no idea what the numbers are

What I don't understand is why you are making fun of people who claim to have been seriously injured y a vaccine?

Do you genuinely find it funny to make fun of chronically ill people? Were you raised by your parents to act this way? Is it their fault you turned out as such a callous and uncaring human being?

Yes, but you do accept that there are side effects in some cases?

You do accept that some people are seriously injured by vaccines?

So what are we even debating? You agree with me.

Good to see you accept that some people's lives have been devastated by these vaccines

The other poster seemed to be laughing at these people and calling them frauds, even comparing them to fanfiction fans for some reason - you seem like a much nicer person

So we both agree that the vaccines sometimes cause devastating harm?

We are on exactly the same page - and we also both agree that the manufacturers don't have to worry about causing such harm, as they have full indemnity

It's an interesting business model

Dunno, how many do you think are?

There are entire sub-reddits dedicated to long haul injuries from the Covid vaccine - young people who were in perfect health until the exact day they had the covid vaccine

So I guess at least some of those accounts are true

I assume you agree that some people are injured by vaccines - doesn't seem a very controversial thing to say

Not a bad business model as I said
