This comment is so good that I want to bottle it, take it home, and bathe in it

I’m definitely not adhd and I too relate. Pretty sure most people can, it’s just that if you actually have adhd it’s much more intense to the point it’s basically impossible to overcome without treatment.

Idk but if so, mission accomplished I guess

Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?

Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.

Maybe. A possibility for sure. I’m just not really into policies of trying to save people from themselves.

For me? I do what I can by just avoiding it as much as I can.

No, because just banning things rarely achieves the desired results.

And whether it’s cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, too much sugar in general is the problem, much more so than the subtle differences between the two.

I already do, I live on a back road that sees maybe 20 cars a day. I have a beautiful view. I’m an hour away from a large town with everything in it, so I’m close enough to any of that when I want it, yet I’m far enough that my cost of living is low. The town with a school, grocery store, hardware store, bars, clinic, etc is less than 10 minutes. 4 bigger towns with more jobs and more store options are 30-35 minutes with hospitals as well.

I can walk out of my house and be in nature almost instantly. I don’t have to drive anywhere.

Yeah I can’t call and have food delivered and I can’t walk to any shops but I consider myself in the perfect balance of remote and having access to what I want/need. Unless I go to a nursing home, my only move from my current house will be from it to six feet under.

Yes, I even have a class A CDL. However, I don’t do it much so I’m not the greatest in a big truck and am competent in a regular vehicle

My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.

The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad

I’m not disagreeing with that at all.

Ehhh, idk. If they grew up sheltered with no sex education it doesn’t. She knew it was going in her ass, she just thought that the baby hole was her ass

About half of production between that and crops? That’s actually not bad. Not bad besides the total, but that’s a good split imo
