I've heard you either have to stay home for two weeks or wear diapers while using that stuff, because it causes pretty much non-stop diarrhea.

People should just eat sugar free gummy bears instead. It would at least taste better going down. They provide reviews like this:

"It all started the day prior when my sugar tooth persuaded me to eat 2 handfuls of these sugar-free delights. Fast forward 15 hours 23 minutes and 44 seconds, the world shook. All hell broke loose inside me, a sudden headache, my skin began to perspire and something tore around in my abdomen with force enough to make me latch onto my couch with both hands and let out a sheer cry that sent my dog retreating into the bedroom, she probably knew the battle was already lost. I tried to make for the bathroom but the pressure was so intense I had to wait it out on the couch until a lapse in the gut-busting occurred and I regained control of my muscles. It took only moments before the volcano Mt Anus had blown its top. The air quickly turned poisonous from the methane and sulfuric fumes that spewed forth. Violence and terror are understatements of what happened for the next 45 minutes. I sustained 3rd degree burns from contact with the lava that flowed abruptly from my bowels, my blood pressure was at record levels, and my body mass was reduced by 4 lbs. After ample ventilation of the crime scene I quickly took a shower and changed clothes because the powerful fumes had soaked through the fabric and into the skin. I almost had a mental breakdown in the shower after realizing those little gummy bears had nearly defeated such a man that I thought I was. I can now hardly bare to look forward through the night-terrors and PTSD that will come of this horrid event. . ."

Forty-five minutes is a pretty conservative estimate. "Better part of a day" is more accurate.

Seriously, stay away from sugar-free gummy bears unless you have a clear event calendar and a bathroom to yourself.

Pretty much every sugar free candy has a warning that says "hey, don't eat a fuckton of these things in one sitting or you'll poo poo your brains out." If you can, you know, be a grown up and not mow through a bag at a time, you can still enjoy sugar free candies.

I used to eat sugar free chocolates a few years ago when I was loosing weight. If you have a little bit at a time you'll probably just have a few smelly farts and maybe a messy bowel movement later.

The sugar alcohols that are used in some sugar free products are well known for causing diarrhea, sometimes to an absurd degree. Which just makes it more hilarious that people worry about Aspertame which is pretty benign but don't generally talk about the ill effects of say, Xylitol.

Yeah, with the history of Holodomor you can kind of understand why Ukrainians would think that the 'oh, those crazy russians...' attitude some of the media is giving to the Ukraine/Russia thing is quite infuriating/scary to them.

Going off on someone for being genuinely worried about their people, is a bit off.

Wikipedia posted:

Trust, but verify is a form of advice given which recommends that while a source of information might be considered reliable, one should perform additional research to verify that such information is accurate, or trustworthy. The original Russian proverb is a short rhyme which states, Доверяй, но проверяй (doveryai, no proveryai).
[...]
Suzanne Massie, a writer on Russia, met with President Ronald Reagan many times between 1984 and 1987. She taught him the Russian proverb, "doveryai no proveryai" (trust, but verify) [...] The proverb was adopted as a signature phrase by Reagan, who subsequently used it frequently when discussing U.S. relations with the Soviet Union.
Apparently it's not necessarily from Stalin but it's Russian in origin.

I don't have the USA story offhand, but if my memory is intact the guy had been pepper sprayed like 6 times and lunged at a cop. One cop fired 9 times and another 3. So as with most simplified internet stories there was more than what was implied.

Edit: I believe this is the shooting. Doesn't mention the individual officers shots, must have seen that in another article.

Actually I've met more than one girl named Latrina. Most of those names are fake but that is one I've seen with my own eyes. Latrine isn't necessarily a word used much outside of the military, I think, so I'm sure those parents had no idea what they were about to put their daughters through.

You don't need to eat a whole bag. Sugar free Reese's mini cups? Good. At least until you eat 3 and all of the moisture decides to leave your body via the anus immediately. If you're lucky enough to make the bathroom in time it will sound like someone dumping a 5 gallon bucket of water and aquarium gravel in the bowl.

Some people tolerate sugar-free stuff better than others.
