But all does is feed into the toxic bullshit. It isn't some high parody or anything. It is trying to make fun of the thing by doing the thing

Can we stop with the small dick jokes? They are valueless and do nothing but uphold toxic masculinity.

No offense to your father, but that doesn't seem like it invalidates what i said. Sounds like a shitty therapist. I understand the trauma of a shit parent, but that seems like a sketch mix of bad therapist and distant (at best) parent. I'm legitimately sorry you had to deal with that.

As someone that has dealt (not well) with depression, I get the work it takes to find a therapist that clicks, but fuck it might save your life. Be up front about your history. If they are worth their salt they will give 0 shits about who your father was.

I am not a mental health professional by any means, but if this was your experience I think you may have had a shitty therapist. Everybody I know that is in therapy and likes their therapist complains about late stage capitalism with their therapist.

For sure! And this article seems to be hinting at ultra-processed foods being a huge problem, when the actual problem is probably late stage capitalism and the poverty it creates (to be less than nuanced myself, lol).

I am by no means an expert, but I think the idea boils down to, as long as you have them in moderation, you're fine. The issue arises when people can't afford or don't have access to non-processed foods (food deserts for example). It is a deep, complex, and nuanced subject, and I don't think a single article that boils down to "ultra-processed foods bad" is really interested in the nuance.

I think there is consensus that processed foods are not as good for you as food in their base form. They tend to have more calories from sugar and the like. It is not that they are inherently bad, but that people eat too many of them, thus getting most of their calories from sugar instead of other macros. This study is older, but has better definitions:

I mean, the MSG scare was 100% racism.

This seems like a holdover from that

Yeah, saying the presence of a single ingredient can indicate ultra-processed food then including an ingredient that is in a lot of Asian food seems like the racist MSG scare from the 70s-90s

Ah, exactly what we need. An inaccurate search engine to replace the dominant inaccurate search engine.

And I don't think gun control is even a campaign promise. Just shows either lack of forethought or lack of understanding from their campaign

Plenty of fungis at that party
