My plea to Kamala
  • I'm not sure exactly what argument you're making. Moore clearly appeals to Kamala because he's worried about Trump returning to office. I am similarly worried.

    My plea to Kamala
  • I can't speak for centrists, but I think his appeal is wonderfully written. Moore enunciates the danger of Trump returning to office while offering constructive criticism like few others can.

    What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • I currently use Gnome on my laptop, but I've toyed with returning to KDE for a while. I used KDE briefly back in the v3 and v4 days felt like it was a bit bloated compared to Gnome v1 and v2. Cinnamon is nice but a bit heavyweight on graphics. I should probably return to XFCE or Mate.

    Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar
  • Well that was an interesting rabbit hole. There have been a number of new studies in the past decade, and researchers are still investigating the effects of free fructose in sweeteners.

    This study is fairly recent: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8188419/

    This study notes how the actual amount of fructose varies from the expected amount in popular beverages: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899900714001920

    Every study I read continues to point out that sweeteners with free fructose taste sweeter and have negative health effects in large quantities while stating how results are inconclusive due to excessively caloric intake. I'm still skeptical of HFCS for now.

    Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar
  • Yes but I like making cheap jabs at the drink industry.

    On a serious note - you're absolutely right to avoid sugar, and I stopped drinking sweetened beverages many years ago. From what I understand though, people would develop fewer health problems if they consumed cane sugar instead of HFCS. Apparently the unbound fructose makes a difference when consuming sugar at such a high volume.
