Crazy coincidence then! Someone made a very similar joke yesterday in our meme chat room.

Somebody’s in the !autism@lemmy.world chat!

No, but I would love to read up on that. lol , brb gonna do an internet search

Edit: I couldn’t find anything on them crashing during their convoys, but I found a couple that lived out of an RV they decked out in Trump stuff and would sell things out of as their business. The same exact RV was involve into incidents; you can’t make this up! In the first one, they stopped in the right lane of a highway early in the morning. Another woman stopped to help them. Their trailer was hit by yet another motorist and killed the woman that stopped to help. In the second incident, which happened recently, they totaled the RV by crashing it into a pole. I hope they stay off of the road because they seem like a hazard (either oblivious or neglectful at the least) and one person already lost their life.

remember when they were so obnoxious and inconsiderate that they used their wake to sink the boat of one of their own?

The Original

Yep! I was worried when they told me. Having high cholesterol at 37/38 is a bad sign of what’s to come. I’m happy it was situational rather than permanent.

This is me. I’ve never said, “This is too much garlic.”

Fun fact: I tend to get obsessed with eating the same thing for months. One of those obsessions was kettle-cooked salt & vinegar chips. I’m talking about a large bag before bed every 2 days. I did this for about 3-6 months. During that period, I had a regular primary care check up with routine blood work. My cholesterol came back terrible. My HDL was too low and LDL was too high. It was so bad that the doctor told me that they were putting me on Lipitor eventho I was in 37/38 years old and otherwise athletic shape.

I argued with the doc explaining that I could fix it on my own with diet. We negotiated and the compromise was that I had 3 months to fix it. In 3 months, we would run blood work again. If it was still high, Lipitor time. I cut off all chips and started eating raw garlic however I could with meals. I would mostly use a garlic press and marinate it in olive oil. Then, I would drip a lot of this on rice, beans, pasta, pizza… anything that would go good with raw garlic. When we ran the blood work again, I was in the clear with completely healthy cholesterol levels, both HDL and LDL.

I don’t know if the garlic had anything to do with it, or if it was merely just abstaining from the chips, but something worked. If you’re dealing with cholesterol issues and don’t want to be on meds, maybe consider eating raw garlic. It might help, and even if it doesn’t, it’s delicious 🤤

You saw ads on reddit, but they were disguised as posts and comments from “real” users.

Step 2: Don’t stop stop doing it

Jozef

I think it’s actually Iosif. His name is spelled as Иосиф in Cyrillic.

и = i

o = o

c = s

ф = f

why would anyone care what his followers call it?

I mean, you guys made it into a literal lottery.

Exactly! Those people were drafted and sent to fight an unpopular war in a country that most of them didn’t even know existed until then. The rich were able to dodge it by paying off the right people and others had to leave as political refugees. I think that a lot of Americans learned to fear mandatory government service due that policy.

Effectively it’s slave labour for the poor and pay so you don’t need to do it for the rich.

The story of human society continues as normal.

Oh wow, soooo interesting! For me, it’s the government forcibly taking control of a year of your life. I’m not saying that my perspective is correct. It’s just that that’s how I see it. I voluntarily served 4 years in the American military, so I’m not opposed to government service. I guess maybe my American mistrust of government is what’s making me apprehensive of the policy. It’s like I fear that the federal government will misuse it while also taking a major formative year of its citizens’ lives. Moreover, even if the government tries its best to make ethical decisions, I don’t think government is capable of making those decisions. It’s too bloated and compromised by the selfish goals of politicians and elites. Thinking it through for this comment, I would be more comfortable with the government providing incentives for 18 year olds to contribute public service by providing extra benefits such as college tuition, home loan guaranty, preferential hiring for government jobs, so it might be the mandatory part that is the main factor driving my concern. Btw,…woahhh, I’m having a moment since I never expected to be so American with my politics because I generally swing quite left, even for those outside of the USA.

What’s the perspective you guys have on it? How do you see it? Is it something like, “This is a good policy because citizens should contribute to their country and government is an appropriate avenue to decide how to do so and enforce this?” I would love to hear how you guys generally see it because this seems like an interesting clash of cultures. I look forward to your response 😀

wtfffff. even for my American butt, that sounds crazy. a government forcing its citizens to conduct a year of national service strikes me like some medieval or fascist level stuff.

prolly 🤷‍♂️ i got it done about 10 yrs ago when i wasnt aware of all that.

According to commercial genetics testing, I’m more Neanderthal than 90% of other people that used the same major company. My ancestors were into some kinky 👉👌

whatttt! were those machines connected to the internet? if so, wouldn’t that be a major security issue since XP hasn’t been updated since 2014?

WRONGGGG!! No one would be using an MS Office version that is 21 years old.

Whatever happened to her? I can’t even remember the last time I heard anything about Janet Jackson.
