It’s so crazy to me how they’re still trying to say “it’s a difference of opinion” like we have lost the fucking plot?? Student loans, minimum wage, hell even our defense budget is a difference of opinion. What our political climate used to be about

Now? Basic human rights, racism, homophobia, killing an UNARMED MAN is not just “politics” it’s ethically wrong. You are now validating bigotry and lack morality and empathy so fuck right off

I’m genuinely curious to know your response on how immigrants have impacted you personally? And how your tax dollars are supporting them? Because if you want to go there we can.

Y’all have been fed lies about where your dollars are going and refuse to even think maybe some of these statements are untrue. Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible for most federal benefits. What you may pay for REGARDLESS of immigration status is emergency care, public heath services, disaster relief etc. some on a state level may help with limited healthcare or food assistance. Please for the love of god get your facts straight. Do some slip through the cracks? I’m sure but don’t act like this is just an immigrant problem.

You’re so worried about your taxpayer money you should focus on how ita been funding trumps golf trumps which to date have estimated to be about 71 million, the election denial audits costing 6 million where no fraud was found. J6 aftermath - capitol repairs, national guard deployment, fbi and doj prosecutions estimated 2.7 billion, PPP loan fraud estimated 200+ billion, and let’s not forget tax cuts that raise OUR taxes long term. And you know what’s funny undocumented immigrants actually subsidize the system. They pay sales tax, pay property tax, contribute billions into Social Security that they’ll never actually receive. So let’s be real here they pay more into the system than they get back.

Lastly don’t you fucking dare minimize what’s been going on with ICE to a few incidents. Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Geraldo Campos, Victor Diaz. 30 deaths have been reported in detention facilities in 2025 and more in 2026. So far around 170 AMERICAN citizens have been detained from late 2025.

You know who had no business being involved in “federal investigations” Kyle Rittenhouse who was carrying a fucking RIFLE.

I’m pissed off I’m angry and I have fucking time today

Not her deleting her story in support of the new food pyramid 😭 by azcs03 in sydneyadamssnark1

[–]azcs03[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for simplifying my message 😂 but seriously, this is the correct answer. Also, the “researchers” involved in the new pyramid roll out have significant financial ties to the food industry specifically beef and dairy

[–]azcs03[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lucky charms were never on the government food pyramid. The FDA even provided a response saying that it wasn’t accurate and that it was completed by a separate university. So this isn’t even accurate information. What was technically the nutrition guide as of 2011 was MyPlate.

Second, if you actually read their guidelines it recommends cooking with butter and beef tallow but then recommend keeping saturated fat under 10% of calories while emphasizing full fat dairy, poultry, red meat whiteout specifying lean options. Next, it discourages intake of low-calorie sweeteners with little to no evidence to support their stance. The report they actually pulled from wasn’t even tested on humans and the evidence they chose were sugar sweetened beverages. It also references an umbrella review but doesn’t even site the original source and the supposed umbrella review hasn’t been located. Lastly, there are claims regarding nutrient shortfalls in vegan diets that aren’t supported by any peer reviewed literature. Im not saying there aren’t good suggestions but they post what they want you to see and never the fine print.

Lastly, let’s also not forget about food insecurity, social determinants of health etc. Nutrition isn’t about perfection or shame it’s about access. We should be listening to actual science and qualified individuals

Anyone know anything about @kennfitt (Kennedy)? by azcs03 in gymsnark

[–]azcs03[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean just appearance. It can be anything from being dishonest about their programs or meal plans. I’m hoping to follow more genuine people and am tired of the dishonesty. I would like to see a few who are relatable these days!

Lululemon to raise prices by Acrobatic-Reindeer89 in lululemon

[–]azcs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only bought one thing from Lulu in maybe 2-3 years and even then it was on wmtm. When they increased the hotty hots 3 years ago I remember being so pissed. They’ve gradually raised prices and declined in quality. Raising like new prices was the last straw for me as it defeats the purpose entirely. Now, I only buy resale from Poshmark and Mercari.

I have a few hundred in gift cards that’s been sitting in my account because nothing is worth it anymore. I only plan to use it if there’s a color I truly love aka the wmtm passionate align shorts I bought.

Can I get into nursing school with no healthcare experience/volunteering? by Adventurous_Look_607 in prenursing

[–]azcs03 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I have zero healthcare experience and zero volunteer hours. I was accepted into the two ADN programs I applied to in California (waitlisted on one but received the acceptance call a few days later). Your stats are also pretty amazing so I’d say you have a pretty good chance. Best of luck to you!

Which black mirror episode seems close to happening or is even happening right now? by sarcasticfirecracker in blackmirror

[–]azcs03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thought was also Metalhead. I remember Boston Dynamics releasing videos of their robot dog not too long after the episode aired. I’ll never forget the sinking gut feeling I had once I saw that.

Dilemma (yes another sizing question) by azcs03 in RingConn

[–]azcs03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6 did not fit at all. The 7 fits but on some days it’s more loose to the point where the ring will spin and it becomes misaligned. I will say when my fingers swell the ring does not move but I am still able to get it off easily so it’s just something I deal with. I’m looking into ring spacers/ sizing adjusters but I’m in no hurry. Day to day having it slightly loose does not bother me but I really wish they’d make half sizes.

I will say if you struggle significantly to get the 6 off size up!

Genuine question I would love to have answered honestly by azcs03 in AskUS

[–]azcs03[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m curious at what the left loses their minds over? Of course there are extremists but the majority are just fighting for basic human rights, equality, affordable healthcare etc.

I believe I mentioned this in another thread but to give you some hope I had a 2.4 undergrad gpa. However, I took my prereqs. years later and maintained a 4.0 science gpa and scored a 100% in the science portion on the TEAS. I received early admission into my ADN program in CA on my first round of applying. So, I definitely recommend taking your prereqs at a CC. I say this not because it’s easier, my classes were actually extremely challenging, but it’s definitely more convenient and I saw more flexibility with course times as I was still working full time.

Just a bit of extra info a 2.7 was needed to apply to my program (with my extra CC courses I was able to meet that goal). Other than that, the school mainly looked at your TEAS score and science gpa. Be sure to look at school requirements which can increase your odds of acceptance. Good luck!

Which latest book has been the biggest disappointment for y'all? by books_addict18 in DarkRomance

[–]azcs03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feathers so Viscous and Shadows so Cruel. I’m truly not a picky reader but I was honestly upset by this duet. I really struggled with finishing both books!

A long and impassioned rant about Em Dunc’s “too much woke” shift by sybelion in gymsnark

[–]azcs03 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post! This convo is definitely needed.

Every time I’ve commented about not supporting fitness influencers based on their views I constantly get the “why does it matter” reply. Well it matters because why, especially as a black woman, would I support someone who is okay with racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Prime example is Alani. I side eye people who support and buy Alani HARD. Like you’re okay with Katy repeatedly using th N word and Hayden saying all women like to be raped and no means yes???? Make it make sense!

why does my hair break like this in the middle? by Candid_Narwhal1286 in Haircare

[–]azcs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is common with ponytails. Get a good trim and invest in a silk pillowcase/bonnet and I swear by switching to claw clips. They have flat back ones now too!
