No. it hits every way of sweetening regardless of what is used (sugar, hfcs, agave nectar, Boy Chevron's Pure Petroleum based sweetener) so the moment those sugar shots go in it counts

if we're just wishing for solutions that'll never be just just adjust farm subsidies to prioritize more nutritional products. or rather deprioritize hfcs

yeah and its not like philly can really affect that directly so they manage to get the money out of children and tourists (since any native philly resident should be well versed in smuggling liquids in from delaware)

ah no it doesn’t so it’s still a poor tax if slightly better writtenphilly posted:Examples include soda (regular and diet); non-100%-fruit drinks; sports drinks; sweetened water; energy drinks; pre-sweetened coffee or tea; and non-alcoholic beverages intended to be mixed into an alcoholic drink.

1984 is the only thing on there that it's worth reading. dialogues can be interesting to study, like with some commentary and pondering, but reading it is basically incorrect use. meditations is basically wine mom advice for life quips. the prince and art of war are similar how they're basically little lists of advice written specifically for idiots who might risk others lives.

1984 is great; just remember it’s 75 years old so obv it’s going to read differently still though lol at its inclusion because 99% of the chucklefucks that make these lists are the type to get into extreme governmental overreach like banning queers and abortion

the prince is also a hilarious inclusion because it's basically a comedy piece, also all the actual advice, such as it is, is specifically about italy during the city-state period

1984 is good. I haven't read it since high school though so maybe it's not as good as I remember. I should probably read it again. Having brothers karamazov on there is lol. I made it like 20 pages into that before noping out because of how depressing it was. No thanks.

They should have the 'Brothers Karamov' into a wojack too. seems like one of the crying or depressed ones would have been an obvious call there. unusually shoddy work for 4chan
