Oh of course. Never meant to imply otherwise

If the strawman fits, burn it when you come to it. That's what my grandpappy always used to say

Should be her version of trump derangement syndrome. For all the crazy critiques leveled at her - they're just exhibiting symptoms of kamala chaos

"Ancient Wisdom" applied stupidly can indeed lead to shit takes. In this case, you're criticizing this politician because... he didn't give halloween handouts proportional to his income? His halloween candy bars weren't a sufficiently significant sacrifice? And then you're knocking this commenter because their opinion that your take is shit means they are blinded by the "systems of exploitation" they create as an engineer and their lack courage to share your moral views about the virtue of dispensing halloween candy proportional to ones wealth? You're like a charicature of a cringey philosophy major - and I was a philosophy major. Stop pontificating and think logically about your argument.

Look at Protestants in America "interpreting" their "ancient wisdom" in all sorts of wacky ways. The Baptists' "ancient wisdom" tells them they'll go to hell if they dance. The pentacostals' "ancient wisdom" says that the Holy Spirit will possess you and make you speak gibberish if you believe hard enough. The "christian science" people's ancient wisdom tells them to pray cancer away - and if they fail to, it's because they aren't righteous enough.

Just because you can loosely relate some "ancient wisdom" to a situation doesn't mean that it's applicable or that you're correct.

My wisdom would tell me that this guy's halloween handouts don't really say anything about him other than either that he: just likes giving out halloween candy, sees it as a smart political move, or both.

Walz is from Minnesota. Minnesota is in the Midwest. Some people in the Midwest have a unique and rather quaint dialect and accent, as well as a very friendly culture.

"'Ope" is an exclamation akin to "Oops", and is often said when a Midwesterner may have accidentally bothered someone in some way (e.g. bumping into them accidentally).

This exlamation is often followed up by "sorry boutcha" to form the iconic phrase: "Ope! Sorry boutcha!" Which is basically the folksy, Midwestern equivalent of "I beg your pardon".

Ope has beocme an iconic, memetic symbol of Midwestern identity, culture, and stereotypical friendliness.

Because it's a pretty solemn place... the guide was explaining how men, women, kids were burned - some alive - in these ovens because the Nazis didn't want to waste bullets or spend extra time on corpse disposal, and these middle aged dudes bust out their phones while the guy is talking and start taking pictures of the inside of the ovens with flash.

Maybe you have to have been there. The atmosphere at Auschwitz is incredibly heavy given all the terrible things that happened there. Everyone seemed pretty appalled at these guys' behavior. I was just a teenager, but I was pretty shocked.

I saw groups of highschool kids laughing and joking around at Dachau and lots of amateur insta models doing their little photoshoots. On a tour of Auschwitz, we got to the oven room and some older dudes immediately started snapping pictures of the ovens and were told to stop. Cameras on phones and constant access to social media have broken people's brains

Fair enough! It can be a little harder to hit consistently in practice depending on the level of variety in your diet, if you go out occasionally, etc. In my opinion and personal experience, anyway. But that is a solid and reasonable meal plan without a doubt.

The raspberries example was more an example of if one were to "fibermax" as the kids will be saying in 20yrs. Trying to most efficiently achieve the RDA with the most fiber dense foods possible - not intended as an actual, reasonable diet.

Don't take the pills - the serving size on them is very misleading. You have to take a ton of them to have any effect. Gotta go with the powder.

Nothing wrong with supplementation! It's hard to eat that much fiber (even if your diet is good) due to the relatively low fiber density of most foods. We adapted to our food sources, not so much the other way around, and when we did adapt our food sources to us we were not thinking of maximizing fiber content - and we don't spend all day chewing on fibrous, foraged plants anymore. Plus, psyllium husk is a food. It'd be the same as eating a shitload of flax or something but with fewer calories.

For instance, raspberries are one of the most fiber dense foods at 8g fiber/100g of berries. You'd need to eat 568g to get your RDA of fiber. The avg person eats around 1.85kg of food daily - 30% of your diet by weight would need to be raspberries (one of the most fiber dense foods) to get enough fiber. Even moreso with other fiber-rich foods, like broccoli. You'd need 1.1kg of broccoli each day (8kg/week). The sheer bulk of that amount of food would be challenging for most people and just isn't practical.

Looks like they are 3.8g per 2 biscuit serving? So like 19.5 biscuits or around 370g.

That's... just her face

Males need 37g of fiber daily for optimum health. That's the equivalent of 568g of raspberries or 657g of green peas or 1,154g of broccoli. Might wanna start taking some psyllium husk so you don't get ass cancer.
