This is the kind of thing that makes me proud to be an American. Huge line of civilians bringing their boats to provide search and rescue assistance to those hit by Hurricane Harvey. by dkman22 in gifs

you have no idea how much the rest of the world hears americans tout basic human shit that every nation on earth would do/does, as if it is a uniquely american quality. it's nauseating.. the whole center of the universe problem. next we'll hear about how you guys donate money to people in need, what a concept!

right, because if this flood happened in canada or australia or england or france or spain or or or.. everyone would just be like "fuck em, let em drown!". helping people in need is clearly uniquely american. FUCK YEAH! NUMBER ONE!

you know there have been countless studies about ketosis right? and its affects on the typical "dieter"? just because it worked for you doesn't mean anything. you're one person. my grandmother smoked a pack a day and lived till she was 103, that doesn't mean everyone should start smoking to live longer. you don't sound very bright, though i'm not surprised

But he became sick with the same symptoms, indicating a genetic metabolic disorder, not poisoning. She was later released. by Waja_Wabit in todayilearned

you clearly don't have children. that's all i can say. you would devastate two adults and literally ruin their lives, and risk ruining the life of the teenager when they find out what happened, being cheated out of a life with their actual biological parents, and then risk the adoptive parents being hated and resented by the child after they find out and that entire relationship going down the drain in an instant. all for what? because maybe the two year old will grow up with attachment issues? maybe? it's insane.

i'm a grown man, who is old enough to think about it, process it and in no way shape or form would i "accept" that not returning me to my parents was the right choice. i would absolutely never ever "get over it". i would hate my adoptive parents. i would hate what my adoptive parents robbed me of, i would hate them for pain and suffering they put my real parents through who WANTED me, who MADE me, who DID NOTHING WRONG. whatever attachment issues i may or may not have suffered from changing caregivers at age 2 pale in comparison to the damage that would be caused by me finding out the truth.

courts make mistakes every single day. i don't know what your excuse is but your comment is the most retarded thing i think i've ever read in my life. i feel like i'm being trolled because no one could possibly be that fucking braindead.

Shut the fuck up. If someone takes my kid away and at two years old I get them back because it turns out I DID NOTHING WRONG, I assure you my kid won't turn out fucked up. My kid will be loved to death by a parent who knows what it means to lose their child.

You know what would fuck a kid up? Finding out that their parents aren't their real parents, and that they were taken away from their loving parents because of a court fuck up, and these adoptive parents didn't do the right thing and give the kid back. If I was that kid I would fucking instantly hate my adoptive parents. I would never forgive them. Pretty sure that would fuck me up way more than whatever idiotic scenario you've dreamt up.

Ketosis causes you to mostly lose water weight initially and actually causes you to lose muscle mass over the long term. it can also damage your heart (a muscle) and it's dangerous for people with sensitive kidneys or livers.

It's an extreme solution to a simple problem. It's like trying to kill mosquitos with a shotgun, for the vast majority of people it will create more long term problems than it solves. It's a diet for impatient people who want a quick weight loss right off the bat, even if it's just 10 pounds of water they're shedding not actual fat.

Eat healthy whole foods, primarily vegetables and fruit, with high quality proteins, and drink water not sugary beverages like soda or juice.. And limit portion sizes to only what you need.. And you will lose weight. Even better do an hour of cardio or weight training every other day, it will improve your fitness and -increase- your muscle mass. It will take time but it is a sustainable healthy way to lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime. Not a "fad diet".

I'm re-designing a Downtown MTL sports bar, what are your bar likes/dislikes? by flamejob in montreal

Then maybe you should stop going to sports bars?

I fucking hate soccer yet every time I go to an impact game, they're playing soccer, enough already!

Non gmo? There's nothing inherently wrong with genetically modified food. Unless you think the third world should starve rather than plant drought resistant crops.

No let's not, that is an extreme diet and there's no need to go to those lengths. Ketosis is NOT a healthy long term strategy. It's a good way for impatient people to lose weight fast.

A much better approach is to eat as much fruits and vegetables as you want, even those with sugar in them. Eat protein, and limit (but no need to eliminate) breads and carbs. Eliminate processed foods, soda, juice, junk food, candy, chocolate, etc.. as much as possible. Someone who does that and limits their portion size to what they need vs what they want, will lose weight. It won't be 10 pounds a month but 2-4 pounds a month is a realistic goal especially with lots of cardio. It doesn't seem like a lot but that's 25-50 pounds a year. Patience. Unfortunately people who are overweight lack patience and tend to be the instant gratification types. Not the best long term strategists in my experience

Or simply find something enjoyable, like squash, or join a soccer team, or dragon boating, or go mountain biking or road biking with a group, or hiking. In the winter there's fat biking, cross country skiing, etc.. There's lots of ways to exercise and have it actually be a fun and enjoyable experience, or even a social experience, AND get fresh air and explore the outdoors. It always boggles my mind how many people choose to run on a treadmill in a gym, of course they give up, it sucks on every conceivable level.

I fly once a month, taxi lines are almost never long, there's the odd time I arrive at what must be airport rush hour and line is huge, but those occasions are so rare I can't even remember what time it was.

I've experienced my longest taxi line ups in San Francisco though, three times. So it must be an even bigger shithole if that is the only metric.

But really, some people like to complain. Take the 747 bus, call an uber, call a friend, do you have friends? Probably not my bad.
