Chocolate could disappear by 2050. Could this climate-resistant alternative [carob] take its place?

As the child of crunchy parents in the 80s and 90s, I can answer that! No!

I saw a recent interview with Jason Biggs who spoke very candidly about the career missteps he made. He thought after American Pie that he was now a star and a leading man and any other dirty comedy or ensemble piece was beneath him, then by the time he had failed enough times to accept the dirty comedy, he couldn't book those roles anymore either. Then he was offered television but thought that television has a stigma his movie career wouldn't be able to recover from, and that line of thinking lost him the starring role in How I Met Your Mother, a show that went on for a decade and made the cast millions. Then he tried for several TV shows and the best he could get was a side role on Orange is the New Black.

So yeah he's allowed to have his preferences. Looking a gift horse in the mouth has its consequences, though. If he's living comfortably and is happy never to be in the spotlight again then more power to him, but something tells me he will likely change his tune down the road.

That is surprising for those who have a long familiarity with Loops. The chronological timeline was a major selling point.

Going around pretending to be a therapist to add some guise of psychological authority when you're telling people they should be ashamed of themselves is disgusting and abhorrent behaviour and you should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

And if you're for real I'd like to schedule a session. Seriously.

They literally wrote in a book what they were going to do and then did it, and were caught doing it and kept doing it, and they continue doing it despite the fact they keep getting caught because so many have their heads buried squarely in the sand. But yeah, deeply toxic to point out. Definitely the cause of fascism.

Not wasting my time having this conversation when any thought out well reasoned response is just going to be removed by someone tripping on the least amount of power possible. But I will say you are reading this incorrectly. I don't say must because you're in a hostage situation, I say must because it is what has to happen to avoid fascism. Put your oppositional defiance disorder aside for a second and look at the situation realistically and objectively. Those saying the Dems are fascist anyway need a swift reality check, the Biden era was a golden age compared to this singular year. Do the Dems have to do more and better? Of course they do, that's neither here nor there, but holding them to initially higher standards than Republicans just lets the Republicans get away with literal actual murder.

Literally mentioned an example of democrats failing in my now removed comment, but with context removed it's real easy to say something banal and act like you've really accomplished something.

And discussing the logistics of our current electoral system is not liberalism, mod 🙄

So you love her, you can't be stopped, and you have no reasons??? Not an interrogation, you stated an opinion, I asked, out of genuine curiosity, why? If you can't or won't justify your opinion then keep it to yourself rather than asking the people reading it to go elsewhere.
