    Tbh attempting to replace sugar with “sugar alternatives” is part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that commercial goods are sold with a fuckton of super sugar (high fructose corn syrup et al.) added to them which is completely unnecessary. If you just try to get your sugar from natural sources and try to eat some fiber with it (whole fruit is perfect for this) you’re on the right track.

    The short version is simply: don’t drink your sweets



  • I like the allegory to magic you’re implying at some points because it really seems like an apt comparison for the way an SS uses the legal/government system. Like it’s some sort of arcane power and they can harness it for their own gains with certain incantations (“I comprehend”), runes (writing legal codes on your envelope to get out of paying postage), or crafted artefacts (fake IDs and license plates).









  • It also sets a dangerous precedent for states to disallow presidential candidates from the ballot. Sure, it’s easy to swallow with Trump and all of the investigations swirling around Jan 6 (and everything else) but in 50 years will it be easy to swallow when the State Supreme Courts want to guide a candidate that’s promised to fund their own initiatives into office?

    As an aside, has anyone asked about whether the electoral college can vote for a guy that’s not on their state’s ballot but who is still running?
