I actually own two. Truck drivers keep throwing them out the window. They always seem to have the same brand of really bad low sugar apple drink in them. It's no wonder they throw it away.
I like to leave my tap water in a plastic jug for a few days to get that fancy bottled taste.
Peanut butter in east Asian food might sound bad, but once I found out it was in hoisin sauce I was sold. It makes sense, though, since so much is cooked in peanut oil.
If you have a Winco anywhere near you and you haven't already you might want to check them out. They've got cheap, they've got semi-fancy and everything in between.
I have ramen and I have generic Dorito substitute. I almost hope my wife doesn't bring me lunch.
They don't taste great, but they're filling.
I might make EVERYBODY mad here, but remember Trump was loved by demonrats until he ran against Hellary. He stood against corruption regardless of party, and for America. If you're new to politics, what does that mean? Some of those things need to be worked out, and LIKE REAGAN, Trump has become more conservative since taking office.
As to bump stocks, I am against outlawing them, but I do have a concern as to controllability. For similar reasons the US military moved away from full auto to three round burst. For constitutional and safety reasons I think three round burst should be legalized, and for constitutional reasons I think full auto should be legalized. I would love to have my old M16-A1 for sentimental and entertainment purposes, but for home defense or combat I would prefer three round burst, unless of course a Browning 50 cal machine gun is an option.
Yes, Trump's stance on the bump stock greatly annoyed me, but practically speaking I doubt it had any effect on many people that had any business owning one. I figure it's like spurs- if you're good enough to use them properly you don't need them- roughstock riding excepted, of course. Still, it was unconstitutional. Overall, however, especially since then, what was Trump's effect on 2nd Amendment rights? I would say it has been better overall than any president since and including Reagan, and I think it is obvious the OP is a shill that is either unaware of the Trump support requirements or, like most leftists, doesn't care about the rules- which is why we have the 2nd Amendment in the first place.
Before I forget, AARP? They're a far left organization. There are conservative alternatives. You link to them at least twice below, so it seems a safe assumption you have formed your opinions largely from leftist sources. Calling people anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists is not limiting your apparent opinions to 2020. That terminology covers attitudes towards decades of thought. It is certainly questionable to limit your discussion of influences to the past year.
A typical medication approval as of last time I was seriously concerned with it was 11 years. It is literally not possible to adequately safety test in the short term. Long-term effects of medications are common, especially in fetal development and reproductive health, but also in immunity, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal and other areas. Assume your DPT gives you renal failure years later. Will you make that association? If it could be pinpointed it would take years of research and a massive study- far more than have been in short-term observation for studies on these vaccines. This was at best a calculated risk on big pharma's part. If someone is not forced to take the vaccine, no problem. Let them decide, with the facts. Among those facts are common minor symptoms, and occasional major symptoms- more than you allude to.
As far as the woman blacking out, I am not inclined to attribute that directly to the vaccine, but I don't know, her doctor doesn't know unless perhaps a mitral valve defect or something was identified, in which case it would raise the question, is it safe for people with cardiac issues. People are dropping dead like flies after the vaccine, but they got the vaccine because they were at high risk of dropping dead. At this point compromises in research were necessary, and it was incomplete due to time constraints. Risk absolutely cannot be calculated at this point. And this is not a water soluble single dose medication that will be out of the person's system in a matter of hours. It is specifically designed for longer term effects, which makes it more dangerous.
You say you're against forced vaccinations. Do you think it likely everyone will be given a choice? I don't know first hand, but it appears many are already being forced to take it, and many politicians are pushing for it. People are making decisions based on what I assume you would agree is at best gross exaggeration of COVID-19 risk. If not don't bother trying to pass yourself off as a Trump supporter.
Referring to financial motivation as conspiracy theory I just find a mind-boggling concept, so let's not waste each other's time further. The entire world has literally taken sides for and against Trump based on their ideology on pursuing financial power. And as to claims of credibility- I gave none. I gave my life experience which led to my doing my own research. My high schooler sons could do the same. It takes reading peer reviewed studies, a drive to search out information and a genuine interest in the truth, not looking to someone to give you an opinion, whether that be me, your doctor, AARP, Fauci or whoever.
He was not alone. McCain pushed it as well. Finally one brave man, I wish I remembered who, threatened to introduce impeachment proceedings if it didn't end. They then changed military aid to humanitarian- still aid, still treason. This literally happened in the senate and they have to investigate years later? But maybe now they'll do something about it, like write a letter or something.
You sprang for the cup? Must be nice! Seriously, though, I just ate cheap ramen the other day for the first time in maybe a year, and if the end of the world comes next month I'm definitely going to want to have some dehydrated kimchi or something to go with my ramen mountain.
I need to give a brief summary of my past 40 years first. I was military and law enforcement, largely focused on protection of individuals, then spent time in guerrilla controlled areas providing protection and humanitarian support to communities. This led me to get about a year and a half of med school plus some foreign clinical experience, which led me to epidemiology and eventually specialized emergency response back in the US with various agencies.
I expect I have read more medical studies than most medical personnel. During the Obama administration I noticed they provided a link to "prove" autism is not caused by vaccinations. That very linked study indicated there was a small association that many would consider statistically insignificant- unless it was their kid that was one of the "lucky" ones. Then I saw another study. Children's Tylenol given with a fever between 6 to 18 months is strongly associated with autism. That made me recall what I had heard stated repeatedly during vaccination of small children- if they get a fever (a common side effect) just give them some Children's Tylenol. So maybe the vaccinations don't directly cause it, but it is tied?
Then I started looking at other studies for specific vaccines, and the risk/ benefit. In 2019 I even did a cost- benefit analysis for Ugandan groups that included vaccinations and hydroxychloroquine. I saw $ billions in sales of vaccines where risk of the vaccine outweighed the benefit. You could get a vaccination and still get the disease- sometimes there was a very small reduction of risk. But what about other diseases- both contagious and disorders? Studies showed increase in risk sometimes for more dangerous conditions than the vaccinations were intended to prevent.
Now why would there need to be a federal law to protect big pharma from suits if there was not a problem? Why is that fact buried in a sea of fine print parents have to sign off on? That should certainly give any parent pause if they can't do the research themselves. Then there are huge numbers of veterans that received experimental vaccines in the military that exhibit the same symptoms, roughly similar to those of heavy metal poisoning. Many have ethical issues with certain vaccines, and manufacturers make it difficult to differentiate. Finally, most of us saw video of a health care provider faking getting the COVID vaccine, followed by Fauci (I would be hesitant to refer to him as a health care provider) apparently doing the same.
After years of research I came to the conclusion that I would be supportive of certain vaccines in epidemic or near epidemic diseases for particularly dangerous diseases, but would be very wary for myself and my family, and research the individual vaccine by type and manufacturer immediately before a vaccination. That small bit of hesitant trust went out the window with the fake vaccinations I described in the previous paragraph. It was an obvious propaganda campaign based on false data.
Now, as to Trump's roll in this. I think we can all agree he is constantly lied to and lied about. If not I have no interest in discussing anything with such a person because they are clearly incapable of rational thought. Nowhere has this been more evident than with COVID-19. President Trump even mentioned specific fraudulent claims and was accused of calling the virus a hoax altogether. CDC data showed most of the hoopla was a hoax. People were literally being shot or killed in car wrecks and Trump would get the blame because he didn't do anything about COVID while pushing for the presidency of a man that had called him a xenophobe for trying to stop the spread. I don't know what level of risk the President thinks is legitimate, but he not only eased the fears of many with a vaccine, he pushed for its rapid development. From a political standpoint a vaccine had to be created quickly, and it was. From a medical standpoint I am greatly concerned with safety and effectiveness. Looking at the numerous cases of "Bell's palsy" alone, which I am hopeful are just temporary cases of myelitis or some such from mild allergic reaction, I do not believe these vaccines would have been approved in 1980, rush to market aside. I believe President Trump took a calculated risk, just as every parent does when they decide whether to vaccinate or not.
Now, how did you develop your opinion? Did you do years of personal research? If you did I suspect you would not have a 100% pro- or anti- vaccination opinion, and you would certainly not sweepingly dismiss all whom you call "anti-vaxxers." I think it more likely you took the opinions, whether you realized it or not, of government officials that get legalized kickbacks from big pharma, and big pharma itself that has made billions. Maybe you even asked your doctor. A doctor with an office full of freebies from big pharma, with regular visits from salespeople that push $200 per dose medications when $.13 per dose is nearly or just as effective. Next time he writes you that prescription, whatever the cost, ask your pharmacist- someone who has a much better education in pharmacokinetics- not just for a cheaper alternative, but if the prescription has possible interactions with other medications you're taking, including over the counter meds or even common foods, or if it is contraindicated for any conditions you might have. Do this consistently and I can just about guarantee you will eventually see it was a good idea to do so.
Still think big pharma has your best interests in mind? Here's some simple research for you. Look up effectiveness vs. placebo effectiveness for a variety of medications, especially some higher priced ones. I have seen as low as 2% difference! That is not typical, but the frequent small difference is shocking.
You too
This reminds me of a great line from Ruthless People which is largely dependent on acting, inflection and visuals, so you kind of had to see it. "This may quite possibly be the stupidest person on the face of the planet."

I was looking at those, then I got interested again in air rifles when I found out about the one Lewis and Clark used and now I'm interested in experimentation and building them, and today I started thinking of unpleasant air propelled ammo possibilities and wondering about legal implications.
What kind is it?
I've been wondering, more out of curiosity than practicality, if airguns would be legal. Among other issues, such as it being mistaken for a firearm and getting the owner shot, I expected even if legal a Trump supporter would be arrested anyway. For those that don't know, some high end air rifles are powerful enough for deer hunting.
Worthless? On a good day.
Shhh! Don't give him any ideas for anything new to investigate!
It's a bad one. It killed me twice just this past weekend. It enters through the eyes or feet, so you need to wear a second mask over your eyes and fill your shoes with peanut butter to create a protective barrier.
No, country, as in woods and farm land.
In the country where I live most places don't enforce masks. 30 miles down the highway, in the city, there are far more masks and more enforcement. I did run two security guards off that were hassling me one day, and I think one of the same security guards plus another employee I shut down another time. I quoted law, and ridiculed every stupid thing that came out of their mouths and closed distance until they retreated. The business did end up easing up. This was not in one of the bad states, but it was bordering a bad city.
This was announced by the White House two days ago- $2000, 230 repeal and election reform. The demonrats tried to sabotage it with a publicity stunt and at the same time trying to sabotage POTUS on 230 and election reform.
I think it was on here somewhere Friday more or less. We literally have Joe Biden on video bragging about cheating and not needing votes, plus major evidence in all the swing states and more. If people aren't convinced by now there's no convincing them, but it might come in handy in court or hearings.
I remember in the early 80s poorer people were literally singing songs about Reagan cheese, then a very well to do woman in our town somehow ended up with mass quantities and started giving it out to anyone that would take it. I don't know if that was the end of the program and they needed to clear out a warehouse or what. Then I taught her three year old son the "magic word" when you ask for something was "gimme it now!" Those were the days.
