    Japan doesn't normalize obesity. 

     

    True. US has a political party that pushes policies that only make this problem worse.

     

    Quote

    Republicans have generally opposed the multi-sectoral approach to reducing obesity risk, instead preferring a personal responsibility approach. For instance, support for the Institute of Medicine recommendations (Stallings et al., 2010), such as restricting calorie-rich and nutrient-poor foods in schools, has been observed more frequently in states with Democratic governors and legislatures than in states with Republican ones (Cawley and Liu, 2008). Further, a 2011 random sample survey of U.S. state legislators showed that Democratic party affiliation was a strong correlate of support (R2 = 0.44) for CDC recommended community intervention strategies to prevent obesity in the U.S., and that the obesity status of legislators was unrelated to support for the CDC's recommendations (Welch et al., 2012).

    And this is not a winner 

     

     

    Trump literally was found liable for rape. And fraud. He's currently as we speak in criminal court for paying off a porn star he fucked while his wife was pregnant and then lying about it on taxes. And falling asleep during it lol. Jesus fuck.

    You're posting some of the most lukewarm nothingburger things I have ever seen in comparison. Oh no, he had to be told the door was behind him.....what? So? This is Obama tan suit level. The far right is so bonkers.

    Lmao. His vibrancy. Not his record. 

     

     

    Well that shit I listed speaks to his personality. He generally pretty nasty. The way he talks rudely about people, constant silly lies, how he scams people, constant fraud, how he treats women, etc.

     

    It's a funny act for entertainment but IRL no one wants to deal with that kind of personality. Like imagine a co-worker like this lol.

      and Rfk still is taking equally form both sides and is not a spoiler because no one is owed votes. 

     

    He fired her for getting caught. Most polling suggests he will take more from Biden, while having 0 chance to win any way. This is a 100% spoiler candidate.

      But his personality makes up for it. 


    Huh? Witness intimidation, rape, falling asleep, and constant fraud? Witness intimidation? Meme stocks and selling NFTs? Most people dislike his personality.

     

    His gaffs have been exponentially worse than Biden's lately. Like the video this thread is based off of is an absolute nothing burger in comparison.

    Republicans are less group think than Democrats. They have a lot more varying beliefs from one congressman to the next. 

     

    Even if it were true, which it's not, it doesn't excuse absolute and total legislative dysfunction. They are barely helping the American people. We have never seen this for decades, for any party.

    118th Congress to be most unproductive in modern history (axios.com)

     

    Even with varying ideas the House leader should be able to whip up some votes and agreements to actually get policy through. This is not how it's supposed to be done even with "less group think". That's a garbage political party through and through, you're finding stupid excuses that don't change that fact.

    Covid vaccine saved us money now? Woah, amazing.

     

    Wow, your choices of articles just keeps getting better.

     

     

    This isn't a real rebuttal to the peer reviewed data and studies I cited. The vaccine worked well. This is a fact, and uncontested. If you feel the four passages I quoted are wrong, prove it.

     

    Here are some facts as it pertains to politics and anti-vaxxing,

    In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who's been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR's methodology. Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: "It's back down to around 5.5 times higher."

     

     

    Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic | Public Health | JAMA Internal Medicine | JAMA Network

     

    Quote

     

    Findings  In this cohort study evaluating 538 159 deaths in individuals aged 25 years and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December 2021, excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before. These differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.

    Doubling down with anger instead of accepting that you were wrong is not wise.

    Lives saved by COVID‐19 vaccines - PMC (nih.gov)

     Based on reported COVID‐19 deaths, vaccinations prevented an estimated 14.4 million deaths (95% credible interval [Crl] 13.7–15.9) from COVID‐19 in a year. However, if excess deaths were used, this estimate rose to 19.8 million (95% Crl 19.1–20.4) deaths prevented (Fig. 1), equating to a global reduction of 63% in total deaths (19.8 million of 31.4 million) during the first year of COVID‐19 vaccination.

    PHILADELPHIA— Children and adolescents who received one of the main COVID-19 vaccines were significantly protected from the illness and showed no increased signs of cardiac complications compared to young people who were not vaccinated, according to a new real-world study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). When the Delta variant rose to prominence, the study showed that vaccinated young people were 98 percent less likely to be infected than their unvaccinated peers, and data indicated that the vaccine’s effectiveness decline slightly when the Omicron variant became dominant. The paper was published today in Annals of Internal Medicine.

     

     

    Not really contested.

    The virus went away because everyone got infected. Not because of a half assed vaccined. 

     

    And because of the good vaccine. Which saved millions of lives. 

     

     

    The weird part is this new anti-vaxxing bullshit, which was entirely caused by far right politics, has been creeping its way into other viruses.

    The most recent episode of X’Men ‘97 was an all-time episode of tv and may be the finest cartoon episode ever. Holy fuck, that was incredible. 

     

    I binged Severance and that is probably the best show of the 2020’s so far. My only issue is waiting for season 2. 
     

    Also, really enjoyed the premier episode of Fallout. Hope it can keep up. The showrunners did give us at least one greatest single seasons of show with Westworld. 

     

    Yeah that was insanely fucking good X-Men Episode. Probably better than even the original. My favorite character got rekt RIP.
