hank green: british soda tastes bad because it has less sugar
me: good, soda is bad
also me: hey why the fuck does chocolate taste worse now? how the fuck am i going to be prediabetic in the office now??? am i going to have to eat less chocolate

Honestly, yes, and I don't even care. Sugar is really bad for you, even worse than artificial sweeteners. If soda tastes bad that's kind of a good thing. if you want something tasty and bad maybe have home made lemonade somewhere
UK, I'm gonna need you to be so real with me right now...are you letting soda companies sell non-diet versions of classic soft drinks that are sweetened primarily by artificial sweeteners?

british food isn't the worst in the world, nor is it the best. I think what winds up brits is that americans of all people say this
my main problem with the "british food is bad" jokes are that it's old and really dated material. it's not really true, but more importantly, it's hack
'British food is bad' has been untrue for like a generation and a half at this point but really sticks around in the U.S. U.S. supermarkets are inferior to their U.K. counterparts!

excuse me but me and the other crabs were talking and we've noticed you're getting close to the top of the bucket and that's problematic, because, we'll still be in the bucket

People don't understand raving and how positive the outcomes of it can be. The only downsides are
-if you use drugs (too much)
-staying up late (there are day raves)
-expense (create one locally)

Idk if this is corny to say or whatever but Ms Rachel is a radical human rights activist. Her work to advocate and create conditions for the dignity, rights, and respect for children as fully realized human beings In her discipline/practice as well as her politics is admirable beyond words Idek

woke boomers are often cooler than woke millenials because most boomers are conservative so the woke ones have actually done more work on themselves to get to woke, and they mean it more
