I'm late, but everybody is late and gay with this article from February 19.
Saw someone on facebook crying about Trump and his ilk being Nazis and want to kill LGBT people because Trump shared this article. Honestly, Trump only shared it because it was about him. I looked forever for Trump's post because the man posts a million things in one day.
If anyone actually read the article, they would know that Jeremy Hunt wrote the shortest opinion piece in the world and only briefly mentioned the LGBT in reference to an old ad featuring a woman marching with a pride flag.

The most interesting thing about the whole ordeal is the artist who did the art that everyone is mad about is GAY and draws hardcore, punkrock art. He also follows gaybearsandcubs on IG. I doubt Jeremy Hunt, Trump, the editor, or the Washington Times knew about this literal gayop (ok, maybe the editor knew). This wasn't a dogwhistle, this was sabotage. LOL

Tangentially, can anyone explain to me precisely how the US itself being at war is a net gain for the US economy? Not saying it isn't, I just don't understand the mechanics.

Like, I get the iron triangle military-industrial-congressional complex, but that seems like a mostly closed system -- US tax dollars paying US military personnel, funding US companies development and manufacturing products used by the US military, and bribing US legislators.

I also understand the dynamic of US covert intelligencia orchestrating proxy wars to create buyers for US arms and equipment, but that doesn't seem like it should necessitate any involvement from the US military itself -- except as an excuse to create newer armaments so the old shit can be sold off.

I also understand the resource acquisition element, e.g. oil. I also assume there's some sort of geopolitical reciprocity for the US acting as a rent-a-cop for NATO/UN, though I admittedly don't know what that looks like. But I just can't imagine any of these things generating enough of a profit to offset what's getting skimmed off the top in order to perpetuate the cycle.

Where does the profit come from? Is it really just selling bombs?

It isn't.

I agree, however, once-a-week meal prep of a big fucking crockpot of whatever you like which you then freeze in portions solves that issue. Especially if you rotate what you make and don't just eat the same thing out the freezer the rest of the week, you'll have a backlog of several different healthy meals if you truly are that pressed for time. Steam up some vegetables/microwave them, and boil some rice or potato and you have a proper meal in 10-15 minutes.

When I was working long hours and had to do meal prep for a week or more all in one go, really all I could do was a ton of rice, chicken, and some veggies. To keep it from getting bland, after it was all cooked and distributed into the containers I would spice each container individually so at least I was getting some different flavors. I was eating the same thing every meal, but the five or six different sauce/spices I had in each one made it a little less monotonous. Never doubt the power of spices.

How to profit from war like an American:
  1. Declare a "peacekeeping operation" because going through Congress for a war declaration is too hard (plus, we don't want the plebs to catch on)
  2. Send the best and brightest young men to die in some desert
  3. "Discover" there's no more young men to work in critical industries
  4. Refuse to end the war because shut up
  5. Declare we must import the third world or America will not survive
  6. Import the third world for the cheapest labor possible
  7. Business cost goes down due to lowered wages
  8. Product consumption goes up because third worlders have low impulse control and are subsidized by welfare/NGOs
  9. GDP subsequently goes up
  10. Arms industry (which I coincidentally invested in just before the "peacekeeping operation" was declared) is making a killing in more ways than one
  11. "See? Line go up! America is fine! Diversity is our strength! Import more brown people! Kill the Russians! You're racist if you think any of this is bad!"
  12. Repeat as necessary.

clearly why we need tariffs!
the USA has been leaning on the world stage, especially Canada to handle things we could do in the states!
OUR Rush has been laying dormant for years, he hasn't done shit in a while after getting that medal!
and OUR American Second City is completely neglected!

I was treated to tofu twice in my life, accidentally due to menu confusion. I would not wish tofu on my worst enemies. That shit is a culinary abomination and one of the only foods I've ever had to outright just throw away because I could genuinely not stomach what was supposed to be a meat dish. That wasn't meat. It was a mistake. Fucking foul.


RFK JR. PLEASE PLEASE BAN TOFU. IT IS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SAFETY.

tofu works as a noodle type thing like in miso soup and not much else

there was a stretch where I had a weird all-you-can-eat work-at-home thing, so it really was way more economical for me to get cheap-ish take-out rather than stop working for cooking and cleaning,
but yeah otherwise I prefer to cook for myself over fast food a majority of the time, unless it's something I just don't like the hassle of, like fish is sort of a pain to get and use while it's fresh, then the place stinks like fish, or bakery. I find cleaning up from dough making and all enough of a pain I just don't bother

Imagine if they actually managed to succeed in tearing down tesla a company that's value is inflated like apples by faggy liberal. To their shock and horror like when they "canceled" the last 5 million people Elon Musk doubles down on alt-right ideology it now being his only possible source of income.

Also for some reason outer space exploration is an alt-right ideal so SpaceX will be fine.

lmao I dont understand why people are disagreeing with you, 3 hours would be closer, 1 hour per meal, but genuinely if you want to cook a wholesome hot meal its at least 1 hour of prep and cook and clean per meal EASILY, maybe you cut it down by preping earlier in the week or ignoring cleaning but that time still counts.

Because if it takes you an hour to prep and cook a meal you probably have an IQ below 75 or some sort of horrible downs preventing you from living and acting like a normal person. I made a shakshukah last night and it took me 30min. There's plenty of meals you can make that are healthy, filling, nutritious and take 30min or less. If it's taking you 3 hours to prepare a single meal you're either cooking for 20 people or choose a very extravagant coursed meal meant for an afternoon or the aristocracy.

Most people who get home after a long day of work on a hasty breakfast and minimal lunch dont have the energy to put together a complex meal and just opt for the easy route

How hard is it to grill up some chicken and throw it on a salad? It takes like 10min total from start to eating
 
The biggest problem people who find cooking at home takes too long face is they are fat asses that consume the calories of 4 persons per day. No shit it's a full time job cooking when you eat like an elephant eats. One of their meals could be split up to feed them for the week.
