I like how they're basically selling bags of sugar + some artificial fruit flavoring and right on the front they say that it needs even more sugar before it becomes palatable

also lol one of them says NATURAL FLAVOR WITH OTHER NATURAL FLAVOR

That kind of Kool-aid doesn't have sugar in it at all, that's why it's just a few grams per packet. It's just flavor and color.

The Lemonade thing's probably just legal requirement since it's got two flavoring agents in it but only one is literally from a lemon. Or maybe even just from the right part of the lemon.

You can only consume so much garbage and I prefer that garbage to all be food, drinking calories that don't contain alcohol isn't very satisfying IMO for how unhealthy it is. That and I don't understand American's obsession with extremely sweet things. My parents probably eat healthier than like 90% of Americans but they still do crazy things like putting sugar on fruit.

Fun Fact: Taste receptors lose sensitivity, die and get replaced constantly. Harsh diets deaden your palette. Sweet tea would probably taste the same with -90% sugar if people didn't load everything up with sweetener.

One sugar cube to me is probably as sweet as ten-at-once would be to a sweet tea drinker.

Here's something to try WRT this phenomenon:

Go one week without eating anything with added sugar (this is way harder than it sounds, both in terms of addiction and in terms of processed food almost always having sugar in it). Then try drinking a heavily sweetened beverage. (Soda, sweet tea, whatever) If you're like me, it's going to taste WAY too sweet.

That's the average, which actually makes it more terrifying. For every person like me who tracks their sugar intake and has no more than probably 15g of actual sugar (~100g carbs total) per day there's another who has probably close to a pound of just sugar alone, with soda being the prime culprit.

For reference, 15g a day is half an oz but still comes out to 12lbs a year, which is probably less than half the amount of sugar in the trash can of sweet tea

This can even be true of American foods in general. I cut down on my sugar intake something fierce and eliminated HFCS from my diet and now most of the bread you can buy just tastes sickeningly sweet to me. I can't drink most sodas and even most juice has become awful. It's great though I'm way healthier and my eating habits are like five times healthier.

The inspiration was that I started having issues with my blood sugar and diabetes runs in my family something fierce so I was like "this stops."

Any armchair lawyers here that can tell me if releasing court documents into the public without consent of the court or other named parties or a FOI request is a legit crime with actual repercussions? Seems like it should be, even just going by the "if it harms lawyers and lawyers decide on it, it's probably illegal" standard, but you never know.

Just asked a friend of mine who's working in a law office who says it's not inherently illegal, though there could be local laws, confidentiality agreements, etc. but it will almost certainly piss off the judge. Which I suppose might explain why they got slapped with $135k in damages.

I guess there might be the barest threads of an intimidation case there if you could prove that the records were released with the intent that people start harassing the Bowman-Cryers.

How do these people (Crowder, Walsh, et al) live by being such utter cunts all of the time?

Do they have friends, get out, and have fun? Or do they just sit in the living room with the shades drawn and stew over whatever "demon," is "persecuting," them at that point in time?

I started this thread and I'd never even heard of Stephen Crowder until around page 800 or so. This thread was made to generally call attention to these people, point out their hypocrisy and insanity, generally mock them and to consolidate all their bullshit into one easy to read area so must of us don't have to bother wading through the muck so I think it's OK.

I've often thought the same thing. My in-laws are die hard conservative Republicans, Fox News watchers, Drudge surfers, Obama haters who pretend to care about church, upwardly mobile bourgeois types intent on making an impression, etc. The type of people who drink $100 bottles of wine, play golf on $120 courses, visit France, dine at expensive restaurants and stay at fancy hotels simply to say they did and not because they enjoy it.

Nouveau riche in some ways but, to be fair, most of it IS self earned.

Yet they seem to have NO friends. I've been married for almost 10 years now, known my wife for 13 and in all the visits I've paid to to their home I have never ONCE heard a friend call, seen someone stop by, heard where they went out to eat with the Smiths, took a trip with the Jones' or anything like that. It's weird. Who are they trying to impress? What bonds have they forged?

When they visit us, our phone rings off the hook, folks stop by all the time, people from all walks of life that they don't know come and go.

I remember when I first met my wife, MY friends drove up to Atlanta and helped her load up the moving and truck and poo poo but some of them had tattoos!!! That's all they remember. Lastly, my wife's last really serious boyfriend before me was black and her father was prone to crying and almost had a nervous breakdown over it.

...

TL/DR: Yes. It must be odd living in this weird bubble. Whoever my typical stereotypically conservative in laws are trying to impress aint working and they have no friends at all.

CONVICTED OF DISPLAYING HIS PEANUTS IN PUBLIC
That's actually kind of interesting to think about. Going over the people I know, the most hardcore right wingers I know that do have friends all seem to be law enforcement/former military type people whose friends mostly seem to be others from the same group. It's hard for me to gauge though since I don't typically spend much time hanging around ultra conservative types. I do feel like the more conservative people I know seem to have the more quieter social lives (they aren't posting tons of pictures of them with groups of friends having fun, usually just them and their families, or them "relaxing" at home or working out at the gym alone) and I feel like they seem to travel less too. It's funny that the most left wing people I know also happen to be the people who travel the most.

Yeah, I know no shortage of right-wing people who have been all over and have huge social circles, and left-wingers who are recluses. Left or right, the busy and social ones will always be quick to tell you that knowing more people and seeing more of the world is what convinced them of their beliefs, but psychology is funny that way.

I think it's this part more than the political ideology. It's not a concrete rule, but the more wealthy people get the more socially isolated they tend to be. By contrast, people of less expansive means tend to have stronger and more active social lives, broadly speaking. It's part of the reason that suicide rates tend to be higher in the "developed" world as opposed to more impoverished nations.
