Homemade vegan Indian food is so cheap, nutritious, and delicious. I wish everyone could learn to make it themselves. Here we have dal (i.e., lentil soup) + coconut aloo dum (potato curry). Damn, it was good.

Well, I just discovered the "OneBC" Party. Imagine being so up your own ass with hate that you build a whole party dedicated to shitting on indigenous people.

Allow me to re-up my plan to save the world. Every Dec 31, sacrifice the richest person worth more than $1 billion, and then donate his wealth to feed the poor.
Every year, watch them scramble on Dec 30 to give it all away.

The root cause of obesity in America is well known. It's not the price of meat or exercise. It's
-built environment
-food economy
-policy failures
-biological vulnerability
Know what accelerates it? Poverty & poor education.
None of this BS works until you fix those 2.
Gawd, how I hate his face.

I've heard several tradespeople laugh at the AI threat with the usual, "If you want an untouchable job, be a plumber!"
Sorry to tell you, but a lot of money is being spent on developing robots specifically to replace trades workers, even plumbers.

These fools think they're so clever.
I have a theory that each of them is the smartest person in their friend group of fellow idiots, so they have a skewed estimate of their intellectual abilities.

Wrong. Absolute poverty is very difficult to define, as what constitutes basic needs evolves over time. Our most common measures of absolute poverty are based on computations from the 1960s. And relative poverty is not about "envy".
