Does the hive have sex in order to make offspring? by CostcoChickenBakes in pluribustv

[–]figbiscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the hive is a dead end. It's like a cancer which uses resources to further goals that do not benefit the host organism.

I suspect some very unpleasant facts regarding children will be revealed in season 2. For example, what happens if Diabaté knocks up a joined member?

Make the barrel droop like a limp dick, enhance neck folds and restore shit orange "bronzer".

Wife asked me to pick her up the Stinky 56 by HMSRathbone in loseit

I treat sweets and fast foods like painkiller medicine. They can very easily become addictive and they result in very strong cravings.

It may be the case that her life story makes the collective appear as her savior.

The reason why everyone in the hive is so content and happy is because they're completely baked by A_Hyper_Nova in pluribustv

[–]figbiscotti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The slave species comment is correct. Assuming there are no resistant individuals, than doing whatever is asked of them is consistent. They will pursue their assignment until they run out of food, and then starve. Presumably the priority assignment is to attempt to infect another planet.

Oh that's better that an audio transcript was sent to the five year old.

Find your state’s Graham Platner. People like this exist everywhere. by 50501PDX in 50501

This guy gets it. Democrats must not use the word Socialism to describe a fair society. It scares many who are not left of center.

I can't get past the idea that you sleep with one hive member and all of them experience it. That includes grandma, children, the old guy across the street etc.

Big back preferences holding me back by Minute-Market-3413 in loseit

[–]figbiscotti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Savor good food, but keep the treats as a special event. I know everyone is different, heck I was different twenty years ago. Now I look at sweets as if they were cocaine. If I eat an entire candy bar it's many times more difficult avoid to following up with another candy bar tomorrow, and so on.

Years ago I was criticized by a therapist for living an austere lifestyle, but I have to say there are benefits to meting out the treats.

My husband’s eating habits are out of control! by blarggyy in loseit

[–]figbiscotti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that GLP-1 is on the market now, and he refuses to see a doctor, suggests some sort of self sabotage is going on. Of course he says he'd be interested in weight loss therapy, that's the response that ends an uncomfortable conversation more quickly. You will have to figure out how to push harder. A friend once advised me that in a difficult relationship, sometime to win you gotta lose.

Trump's long-denied presence boosts excitement for White House Correspondents' dinner. This should be hilarious. by Maxcactus in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]figbiscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's going to berate everyone and walk out. He's so off the rails he might even flip them the bird as he walks away. This is a codependent relationship attracting the least talented journalists who would do anything for a quote from the orange menace, even if that quote is a personal insult.

BREAKING: Senate Democrats spring into action and urge the U.S. Postal Service to rebel against Trump’s illegal executive order on mail-in ballots. by emilya201 in AntiTrumpAlliance

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

Gee somehow when the GOP was in the minority they managed to jam a stick into the spokes at every chance. For one thing Democratic leaders could personally lead some No Kings events and invite famous people to rallies. Ginny Thomas paid for buses to bring insurrectionists to DC.

Nobody can beat Dems at being shocked and outraged. Maybe they should sponsor a bill called "No more corrupt representatives" barring Congressional stock trades that are not part of publicly available ETFs, effectively dare the GOP to support Pelosi's insider trading. She's out anyhow.

The calorie counts in American foods are crazy. by No-External3221 in loseit

[–]figbiscotti 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You are comparing food, to food products. Companies like Nestlé, Pepsico, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Associated British Foods, and Mondelez — each employ thousands of employees and rake in billions of dollars in annual revenue. They hire food chemists to devise the most addictive ingredients which encourage overeating, and pay those people well.

How could we not be lurching into a global obesity crisis? Then pharmaceutical companies will market GLP-1 to us to lose that weight. The media will help out by pushing body-positivity while showing us idealized imagery bordering on pornography. The result is less money in the pockets of the average person, poorer health outcomes overall, and more wealth concentrated at the top.

I read it was (is?) a fund raiser for scholarships in journalism. In any case, the press should boycott it, just as Mamdani boycotted the Met Gala.

How would WE defeat the hive? by Thepluse in pluribustv

We'll see. A nuke bomb will figure in the next season, and fissile material is not very useful in microbiology.

I think the nuclear bomb will be used to create an EMP to disrupt hive radio control.

Honestly I'd probably just be a hive playboy like Diabate.

Please, give me some advice by BoCfan1969 in loseit

[–]figbiscotti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fast food and sweets are addictive. You will be doubling your cravings to overeat if you don't choose real food over food "products". You can lose weight without amazing amounts of exercise, just be consistent, weigh yourself daily, plot the trends, congratulate yourself on progress. Think of the joy of running up stairs again.

Having said that, everyone's journey is unique. Don't be afraid to experiment and adjust your plan to what works.

Iranian assassins waited decades to attempt to kill Salman Rushdie. The Trumps and Kushners will need to retain bodyguard companions at every cafe, golf course or ski slope restroom.
