"Dark humour" enjoyers when I joke about the military...

So should we be fearing a new crash?

I'm sorry I assumed that, people's goal when making comments on semantics is usually to obfuscate the point

As far as I'm concerned, the 92-01 war had the support of the US along with Russia. But that's way besides the point I'm making.

I didn't mean that it's 30 years strictly against the US, I am only saying that these people have been tortured by war for 30 years and all people care about is to call the Talibans terrorists, not the people's suffering by the world powers' interventions.

Instead of playing with numbers, we could just focus on the issue of portraying every enemy of the US as a terrorist and mocking anything these people go through just because someone the west doesn't like prevailed. Of course they are religious fundamentalists and oppressing, especially to women, but they are a legitimate government as much as you don't like it and the people have the right to sort their society morals on their own just like the west did - it feels stupid to articulate such obvious statements, but people don't get it.

It's funny cause they legit have a terrorism problem with the once US funded IS. If you people had ever cared to see what has happened to Afghanistan after the Talibans took over you'd know that the terrorists are constantly bombing public spaces, public infrastructure etc.

The Talibans may be extremists and fundamentalists but terrorists? That's a CIA talking point - any violence against us, the west, is terrorism.

The US abandoned Afghanistan in ruins after 30 years of war, bombing people and infrastructure and now they have to rebuild their country on their own, forgotten by the world. They are starving, they are extremely poor and because they are so vulnerable, the IS was able to establish itself there and terrorise the people. So I don't get the irony here, you people are just hypocrites and don't remember who caused all this in the first place.

First Arab country to do so, sad

Yeah same. I just try to cook a meal on Sunday but it doesn't get me through the entire week. Not to mention I usually need a second meal at night when I work out. It's too much.

I stopped reading at "make bread". Waaay too little free time for that

Olive oil and cheese in moderation don't make you fat, in fact they can be very healthy. You just have to be mindful of your overall diet. Most things can be healthy and unhealthy depending on the quantities and everything else you eat. Pastries are mostly bad yeah cause usually the sugar in a single serving is more than the daily recommended intake. But once in a while they are not harmful.

Also an important thing to note here is what you are used to eating. If you are used to not eating sweets at all, a sugary fruit like a grape can seem sweet to you. If you eat a lot of sugar, then fruits will not taste sweet at all. It's like drinking orange juice after eating chocolate (it tastes sour af) but on a bigger scale. So there are no absolutes when it comes to eating. One can feel satisfied with little sugar so long as they are used to it.

So we're talking about de-extinction at a time when 70% of the planet's biodiversity has been lost in the last 50 years?
