I have a pet peeve about people saying something doesn't have any nutrition. It may be damned unhealthy for you, but carbs, protein, sodium, fat, water, &c. are all nutrients.

You guys, my 10 year high school reunion is coming this summer, so I got added against my will to the Facebook group. Pretty standard stuff. A few usual suspects have facial tattoos, one has methed up teeth and a juggalo parent profile picture. The super goth girl is now the most Basic bitch ever. There has been a request for a "toddler-friendly" venue. The organizer is a trip though . I actually have no idea who she is, so I went to her personal page.

This is slightly more fancy than the one going around claiming that ramen is coated in a thin layer of wax, which you, a lifeform that literally uses strong acid to dissolve things, cannot dissolve. Because reasons.



For some reason this wax is unlike the actual edible waxes you find on candy, which is not cancerous. Also because reasons.

Also, I can't believe the "MSG will kill you" poo poo is still going around.

Those idiots. The wax is there to protect you from the MSG and other chemicals and toxins. The wax coats your insides and the MSG and bad stuff pass through you safely unabsorbed by your body. You shouldn't take a break from eating ramen - you should eat more. The more wax coats you get, the more impervious you will be to toxins and chemicals. It's just like how more wax coats protect your car. It's just basic science, people.

So, this wax... keeps the noodles from sticking to each other when cooking. And it stays on. While cooking.

Is it supposed to be some kind of unmelting wax or what?

If you want to argue that pedophilia is a mental illness, then technically every pedophile is mentally ill. Though that gets into some rather uncomfortable implications about exactly what gets classified as a mental illness (is a foot fetish a mental illness, or does it only count if it hurts kids?).

The sad part is that there's actually plenty of pedophiles who are ashamed of it and resisting the urge because they know it's harmful, but it's virtually impossible for them to get help because even admitting the attraction results in them immediately becoming a pariah and anyone who tries to help them in ways other than immediate imprisonment and watch lists gets accused of being a kiddy diddler themselves.

That is the definition of a mental disorder though. Anyone can have weird quirks or issues, but when they start negatively impacting your well being or those around you then it becomes a disorder. People can have a foot fetish and it only crosses over into becoming one when you cannot have sex unless it's related to feet, or it causes you distress frequently when you have sex.

No real correlation was ever found/reproduced in a clinical setting. Even if a few people were getting headaches from it, it doesn't make sense to create such a massive crusade against it.

MSG sensitivity isn't a thing. MSG went out of style because lovely people spread false information that was rooted in anti-Asian racism. It's starting to come back due to enough articles saying "MSG IS FINE!".

It's also definitely unrelated to Trump's rhetoric bringing outright racists out of the woodwork and making these kinds of views more acceptable.

Suppose you were really, really malicious. Suppose you wanted to cause the human race all misfortune that you possibly could. Suppose you wanted this mischief to persist as long as the human soul survived.

What, then, would you to do create the worst possible malady for the individual spirit? You would organize the Freemasons, of course.

Secret societies are not devised to obliterate traditional governments – instead, the Masons are designed solely to annihilate the personalities of the members.

Here’s where things get devious. You don’t tell the new initiates what you are really doing. As an alternative, you inform the new recruits how they are going to change the world. But you say that the apprentice needs to go through certain rituals in order transmute himself into the kind of citizen that will populate this new society.

What the lodge-masters do not ever reveal is that these very rites are calculated to destroy the soul of the initiate. And that was the true intention all along. You see, there are certain occult ceremonies that render a soul eternally unfit for divine paradise. The objective is to have a believer so utterly drat himself that there is no recovery. Consider the act of joining the Freemasons as a ritualized infection. The goal of the Masons is to befoul all that belong.

That is the real reason for an occult order – to contaminate the practitioner. You might so hate this existence that you need to infect everyone you can. You want the entire world to be tainted. You want payback against humanity – and you get the revenge one degree at a time.

Pretty much. If anything happens to incapacitate the President, the veep takes over for the rest of the term, no matter how short.

To elaborate on this, John F. Kennedy was the most recent U.S. president to be successfully assassinated, and there was less than a year left in his term when Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in. But was it too late for LBJ to campaign?
