That, and I can't think of any food products with a 'low-fat' version that don't also sell a regular-fat version.

Just buy the normal bacon, genius.

A lot of candies and other sweets label themselves as Low Fat(because they're almost pure sugar).

Why don't they just buy a tub or stick of lard and eat that?

Though I'm sure they're just shopping at Whole Foods expecting somehow to find high fat foods.

I think someone in the original low carb thread managed to make a soup of rendered beef fat and lard I think it was. Called it healthy because low carb!

The older Barbies were only a reflection of the culture of the time. Now we see the shift in our culture from the nuclear family, values and expectations, to the state funded decentralized family structure.

DemeaninDemon posted:

I fail to see how making everyone dependent on the state is "decentralized."

Alright ya goof, I'll bite. The term "decentralized" would apply to the structure of the contemporary family. Believe it or not, a LONG time ago, we used to have a thing called healthy family relationships. People want to have a purpose. People want to feel needed. People want to know they are a part of something greater than themselves. And the nuclear family structure fulfilled those needs well. Men had a role, women had a role, sons and daughters too. Well, without a need to change, how can the government convince us to give them more power? So they began instituting social reforms that would fix one thing and break another. To the point where many people don't know where they belong. They don't know their purpose, or value. That is where we are at today. Dumb fucks everywhere are so stupid, selfish, and shallow that they have actually made a huge loving joke of themselves. We know they are loving morons, we know they are valueless. But what can we do about it. How can we fight back. Sit tight cause I'm going to loving tell you. We. Do. Not. Play. Their. Game. We lift, we learn, and if we decide to have a family, we do not allow stupid poo poo like "fat Barbie" a place in the minds or hearts of our children.

I think that since troper tales was killed off, the TVTropes thread was basically an endless cyclical dissection of the "greatest hits" of tropers. It got pretty injokey and stupid in the thread with no new material incoming, and that sort of musty environment bring in the anime goons. Had to burn it. Burn it all.

I feel like a lot of the "White Pride" people are now going to "Love your heritage" because it's a much better dog-whistle. Not to say that all the "Love your heritage" people are totally racist, but the image of a conventionally attractive aryan woman along with that message seems like it's geared toward this idea of the purity of the white race.

I have seen people sharing a news story that "The Rotshchild-owned American Media" has a complete blackout on Iceland's having "forgiven all debt in the country," with specific instructions on how to google to find out about it. If I see it again I'll get a screenshot.

They tanked pretty hard when the international money players said "ok fine gently caress you then" in response to their shenanigans. It hurt them a lot in the short term but in the long term...well...

Right now Iceland is actually ahead of where they were before the crash. They not only completely recovered but are growing. It turns out that giving the major banks the finger, throwing white collar criminals in jail, and refusing austerity was, in fact, the right answer.
