  • The sourdough bread, the butter, the cottage cheese or the meatloaf that my sandwiches consisted of weren’t “ultra-processed”. Neither was the boiled egg, the cut up fruits or vegetables or the homemade yoghurt. And of cause I didn’t have an ice pack in my lunch box. I know nobody who had one.
    I don’t know what you have in your fridge, but I bet you 90% of the contents of 90% of the American fridges are more processed than what an average German school kid has in its lunchbox. So just throw out the 10% that aren’t and feast on the remaining 90%.




  • People have survived millions of years without refrigerators. Most products don’t get bad in a few hours just because they’re kept at 8° instead of 6°. Granted, there’s some stuff you want to be careful with, like raw poultry and minced meat, but neither the pasteurized milk nor the cured sausage will go bad in just a few hours, even at room temperature. Even if they would, you’d usually see, smell and taste it.

    If it was as bad as you say, millions of pupils would die each summer from food poisoning because of the sandwich they carry unrefrigerated with them the whole morning until the lunch break. The temperature in an average teenagers backpack is much higher than that in a refrigerator that has been off for a few hours.




  • Huh, what city in France are you talking about? Every city I’ve ever visited had mixed zoning with shops and restaurants in the ground floor and flats above. Of cause there are also blocks of houses without shops, but that’s mainly because you need more space to house a certain amount of people than for them to shop.

    I there are also suburbs where every house has like a 1000m² of garden around it, and of course these houses don’t have a shop in their basement. But that’s because people choose to live like that and not because it’s the only option.








  • Bill Gates seems to be like that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like him and he’s still doing lots of shitty billionaire stuff, but he seems to be satisfied with “just” being a billionaire and making sure his offspring will be billionaireswon’t starve as well and giving away a lot of the money he will never be able to spend on his own anyway. Same goes for George Soros and Warren Buffet.



  • The original question was

    But are they worried the US won’t defend if a NATO country is attacked?

    and I’m pretty sure the current US won’t. In fact, here’s my prediction on what will happen:

    In the upcoming weeks Trump and Putin will split the Ukraine between the two of them. Encouraged by that success, Putin will try to invade Finland in order to reinstate the Russian Empire. Most of NATO will of cause stand with Finland, but Trump (confusing Finland with Denmark, as no true American can tell these nordic countries apart) tries to make a deal: “If Finland wants our support, they must hand over Greenland”. As Finland obviously can’t do that, Trump will say: “Then we must invade Greenland before the Russians get it”. But confusing Greenland with Canada (as no true American can tell these nordic countries apart) he will actually invade Nova Scotia. TBH, I think this orange idiot is so clueless, he might actually try to invade Alaska, believing it to be Canada.


  • He has threatened Canada that they’ll be the 51. US-State, he has threatened Denmark by saying he’ll “liberate” Greenland. A war of aggression usually doesn’t directly start by invading it, but with unrealisable claims and wrong accusations:

    • “Hand over Danzig” and “your troops are violating our border, we’re just protecting our border” before invading Poland in 1939
    • “Hand over these (non-existent) WMDs” and “Sadam was involved in 9/11, we’re just fighting terrorism” in 2003
    • “Crimea and Donbas shall be Russian” and “The government in Kyiv are Nazis, we’re just protecting the Russian minority” in 2014
    • “Canada shall be the 51. US state” and “Canadians are smuggling drugs into our country, we’re just protecting our border” in 2025
    • “We’re going to have Greenland” and “It’s for the protection of the free world, we’re just providing freedom to the Greenlanders” in 2025

    That’s how you talk to countries you’re planning to invade and not to countries you’re planning to protect from invasion.
