Good on them for not kowtowing to this kind of crap. How has no one said this yet?
Because ideally anyone buying pot is over 18, and knows what they are getting themselves into. We'd be pretty silly as a society if we had the same implied requirement for buying a french doughnut and a coke.
I've been on a nearly ketogenic diet for the past year.. it's just this knee-jerk soccer mom like reaction to HFCS just seems dumb to me.
Sugar and HFCS are nearly the same, barring some slight metabolic differences (fructose being metabolized by the liver -- thanks Dr. Lustig, that was an interesting hour long video!) After not consuming much of either of them, i definitely feel better, and 70 pounds lighter to boot. =/
or maybe cheating works.. just saying.
It's not. it's what, 55% fructose, 45% sucrose -- whereas table sugar is a 50/50 split?
Well the problem with these things, is that the ill effects take so long to materialize, that by now we've all consumed enough of them to potentially suffer. How would you separate the pre-ban, to post-ban effects?
well, it wouldn't mr. other random guy on the internet; see obese mothers tend to have heavier babies. If a fetus is being marinated in insulin, there's a good chance that baby will grow up to be obese. Please try to contradict that.
I'd also have to counter, the rise in obesity tracks very, very, very well to the rise in carbohydrate consumption.

given their revenue, i'm sure quite a few companies would love to be half as obsolete as MS.
so how do you make fun of extremist SJW's without running the risk of giving them ammunition?
Hah. Harvest Moon. Aka, "Patriarchy, the RPG"
Seriously dude, one of the major plot devices turns around 'choosing' some poor girl, and subjecting her to a life of servitude.. playing through I felt physically ill due to the obvious parallels to a slave auction.
New Vegas was fantastic btw. In particular the desert landscape just seems to lend itself more to a post apocalyptic vibe than DC. (insert snarky joke about fallout 3 improving DC over it's current state.).
It just seemed to be written at an higher quality, especially in the humor department.
Having been on the other end of that phone at varying times in my life (ranging from consumer tech support, to enterprise support) i try to be as patient and compliant as possible -- though if they are leading me on a goose chase I'll try to be subtle and point them in the proper direction.
Because face it, most people are assholes; especially when something they are paying for, isn't working.
They have to deal with assholes 8+ hours a day, every day, for a really shit wage. I can play nice for an hour or so on phone. =(
