That's a fantastic question

As someone else commented, the incumbent won their last election 87%-13% to a libertarian in a race where the GOP didn't run a candidate.

I don't think there's much risk of that, thankfully.

Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn't care less about two brothers sharing an account. They're more worried about large groups sharing an account.

It's something people don't realize. We may be a scourge on the Earth, but we're still nowhere even near the top of the list of worst things to happen to this planet.

As the other reply brought up, Theia crashing into Earth. Flood basalt events. The Chicxulub impact.

We may be able to cause some real awful shit, but we still are nothing compared to what the forces of nature can produce. And just to clarify, I'm not saying this to in any way downplay the seriousness of climate change, or that we should do nothing about it.

Alto , 1 month ago to greentext in Anon figures out how dieting works

If it you it to the extreme, sure. But the foundation of losing weight in any context is calories in < calories burned.

I tried to get my dad to stop drinking soda for years when I was growing up. Dude drank 8+ cans a day. He finally quit drinking soda, and was for some reason surprised when he started losing weight. Changes as simple as that, just ordering a size down of what you normally would when you do esst fast food, etc. all can add up big time.
