I know this is a joke, but snow along the Gulf Coast, while not common, is also not unprecedented in the dead of winter. It was actually more common a century ago

There’s more of an urban/rural divide here than you’re describing. Their experience in Houston, New Orleans, or Atlanta is going to be a lot different than small town Louisiana or Alabama

You said “have metabolic syndrome,” not “are not in optimal metabolic health.” These are different.

We should also clarify this isn’t just a western issue, but global.

Snoring is one symptom of obesity, but also has a number of other unrelated potential causes, such as enlarged tissues in the nose and throat or enlarged tonsils. Snoring by itself does not mean you have a metabolic syndrome, nor does it mean you have sleep apnea.

It’s hard to overstate how much money “2-3x what a run of the mill job makes” is over the course of a lifetime. I guess to you right now it doesn’t seem like much, but someone who makes three times more money than someone else is significantly more well off. There aren’t any wage jobs that are going to net you exponential salary growth. Your only hope there is to strike gold and found PayPal or Microsoft or something.

Houston, Little Rock, Orlando…

People need to remember Netanyahu wants Trump in power, so is going to make decisions that are good optics for Trump when he can. He similarly made decisions that are bad optics for Biden on purpose. While Biden did himself no favors, never forget Netanyahu is the one who put him in that position.

“I love you daddy!! Are you proud of me?!”

“Ok son.”

“Trump said” and “Trump plans” are two very different things, The Hill.

If you have good insurance you might not notice this, but drug prices at Walgreens and CVS are significantly more expensive than many other pharmacies, like Walmart, Costco, or HEB. Compare prices on Goodrx.com and see

This is terrible advice

I can get a double cheeseburger and fries from my local burger shop for $6 and not feel like shit after eating it. Why would I ever go to McDonald’s again?

Turkey too lmao

People, fish, shrimp, and bugs are worms.

Typical chordate-centric arthropodophobia

People and fish are more closely related than shrimp and insects

We were talking about work experience in high school

Where are they not accepting CLEP tests?

That’s a completely different issue than what I was talking about though
