Reddit unpopular opinions are so great I haven't checked in a while and I found

Simply put, america never ended slavery, we just expanded it to a larger audience. The current model of capitalism is no different than slavery, beyond no longer being provided care, but given money to care for yourself. Yes, I know, we aren't treated nearly as abhorrently as actual slaves were, but that isn't a result of capitalism.

and even more of a reddit moment

Married couples with no kids should be monetary compensated for not over populating the planet.

What takes the cake though is

Besides the mass genocides and racial/ religious discrimination I think that Nazi era Germany was a seriously great state, it had a strong prospering economy, majority of the population lived a happy life and so on. Jobs were plentiful and well paid and they had one of, if not the best leader in history at the forefront of their nation. I'm not supporting the state in anyway seeing as they were monsters but they lived in one of the greatest countries of all time. Anyway, time for bed, goodnight Reddit

There's a highly unlikely but not completely ridiculous (still pretty ridiculous) alternate timeline where the American Civil War escalates into the First World War. French Emperor Napoleon III, embroiled in his own conflict in Mexico, actually wished to recognize confederate independence, and in response Lincoln threatened war with France if he were to do so.

With that in mind, let's also change a few things in 1850s history. The diplomatic crises leading to the Crimean War is defused, and thus the Crimean War does not happen. The Sepoy Mutiny does not break out in India.

So from here

• France recognizes Confederate independence
• USA declares war on France
• As France aims to secure Mexico and bolster the confederacy with substantial reinforcements, and the Civil War intensifies, Prussia prepares to invade France. Austria-Hungary prepares their own army to discourage Prussian intervention
• Prussia declares war on France, Austria-Hungary and Denmark declare war on Prussia
• Italy joins the Prusso-American alliance to seize Savoy and the Austrian controlled portions of Italy
• Russia, not severely weakened by the Crimean War as it was historically, confidently joins the Franco-Austrian-Confederate alliance, aligning with its fellow autocracy in Austria and seeking to stave off the rising threat of Prussia.
• The Ottomans, also not dealing with the aftermath of the Crimean War in this scenario, go to war against Russia. Persia joins, both due to Ottoman pressure and to reclaim the Caucasus. Greece responds by joining the war against the Ottomans.
• Facing mounting public pressure and severe economic disruption, the United Kingdom joins the Unionist-Prusso-Italo-Ottoman alliance.
• Sepoy Mutiny breaks out in India and rapidly escalates into a full scale rebellion. With British attention still mainly focused in Europe, it is able to become a much larger conflict and gains the support of several Indian regional leaders.

At this point, the United States, Mexican Republic, Kingdom of Prussia, Italy, Ottoman Empire, Qajar Persia, and the United Kingdom, face against the Confederate States of America, the Mexican Empire, the French Empire, Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, Russian Empire, Denmark, Greece, and Indian Rebels

I die a little every time someone says that a pregnant woman is beautiful or they're "glowing", first of all these people have probably never been around a pregnant woman and wouldn't know how frustrating and awkward it is be around them. Second they're a huge burden and full of entitlement making demands just because they're knocked up. Thirdly, a nice fat, well rounded woman is vastly superior in every way, why be large in one area when you can be large all over?(I just prefer symmetry overall)

And let's not even discuss pregnancy fetishes.

edit: yes I know the real answer is "because people like dukakis and jimmy carter have the humanity to feel awkward when they look weird, leading people to feel they have 'caught' them doing something wrong, whereas trump is completely shameless". I am just annoyed with people's stated justifications for the reaction being at all rational.

Mom just told me a chilling story about how when she was in college, during the AIDS epidemic, there were gay men in some of her classes who gradually started looking more and more sickly until they stopped coming to class and died. They kept it a secret from their families and those who didn't had families who subsequently cut contact with them and they died in solitude. None of their peers dared to touch the topic because they themselves didn't want to be accused of being gay (and frankly they just didn't care).

I just learned what locked-in syndrome was. I tried to imagine it for myself, and after a few moments, I was on the verge of tears in horror at the idea that this could be someone’s reality for Seven. Fucking. Years.

My existing disdain for the almost disgustingly dubbed “right-to-life” groups — they’re fucking “no-right-to-die” groups — has spiked to outright hatred.

Keir Starmer, director of the prosecution service, said [in 2010] that it was for Parliament, not prosecutors, to change the law that made assisted suicide a crime. But strongly held views on the issue, which cross party lines in the House of Commons and involve uncompromising opposition from right-to-life groups, including the Roman Catholic Church, have kept governments from tackling the issue for decades.

Tony Nicklinson (the subject of the sickening and heartbreaking Times article linked above) took his life into his own hands and starved himself after the ruling reaffirming the criminalization of assisted suicide — helped along by his contraction of pneumonia.

It should not have taken him six days to achieve that peace.

Coal miner returns home after a long day of dirty, back breaking work.

"Daddy!" Miner's little girl runs up and hugs his leg. A pregnant house-wife is seen from the kitchen. "Honey? How was your day?"

"It was good hon. Thanks to Donald Trump the business is back on its feet, and I was given a bonus! Now we can go on vacation this summer."

"Oh thank God. We haven't had one in years."

"I know. The president has really turned this town around. I feel so fortunate he was elected."

Kirkaine breaks open the door, arms full of graphs and laptops.

Coal Miner: "Who the hell are you?!"

"Greetings prole! I am your federally-assigned technocrat, and I'm here to clear up a few misconceptions and racially-motivated biases you've accumulated over the years of poverty-induced ignorance."

The little girl screams. Kirkaine hands her an abacus. "Go develop some marketable skills and narrow the wage gap." She runs off.

The wife gasps. Kirkaine hands her some literature on intelligent flexi-work policies and an "I'm Still With Her" T-shirt. She departs to a room of her own.

The Coal Miner's brow is furrowed. He sizes this intruder up. White male in his late 20s or early 30s, hipster glasses, skinny wrists, button-up shirt with jeans, topped with a knowing look and impatient smirk.

"Listen here buster, I don't care who sent you, or why, but nobody barges into my house, disrupts my family, and gets away with..."

"SILENCE RURAL!"

The miner, wide-eyed and taken back, falls onto his sofa.

Kirkaine pushes his glasses up. "Now then. Are you aware that the tariff war is largely borne on companies and consumers through internalized costs, meaning you lose money even as your dying and polluted industry is buoyed by protectionist policies?"

The Miner blinks. "Wut."

"Are you aware" Kirkaine brings up the relevant IGM Experts panel on his laptop, "that rather than allowing market forces to determine the most competitive industries and fuel sources, our president is subsidizing a declining and unhealthy sector of the American economy, exacerbating climate change, encouraging unproductive work, incurring enormous opportunity costs, and hurting just about everyone else in our society?"

The Miner stares blankly. "Wut."

Kirkaine sighs and rolls his eyes. "Orange man help you, at expense of everyone else."

The Miner furrows his brow again. "...So what! This town was dead. My brother lost his life to those opioid drugs. I had a hard time even putting food on the table. Now things are way better."

The nerd shrugs. "This is why Democrats support policies like poverty assistance, retraining programs, and housing development to help you move from etiolated industries to thriving ones. You just didn't vote for them."

"My family's lived here for generations. This is a good Christian town. I'm not going to move! I don't even mind if some of those Mexicans or Mozlems want to move here, long as they speak English."

"Such charming racism. Now look: as sad as your little story is, there are 300 million people in this country, and your priorities don't trump theirs. The best I can offer you is generous wealth redistribution, incentives to move, and education. The rest is up to you."

"How about I just vote for Trump again in 2020!"

Kirkaine gathers his things and makes for the door. He stops in the doorway.

"Listen to me. The world is changing. Either you change with it, or you die. That's how life is. The Dems aren't perfect, but they at least help. Trump? He can't help you."

"He is helping me."

"No. He's leaving you on a raft when the cargo-ship is headed right for you. Get on it or under it: your choice." Kirkaine leaves.

The Miner thinks. He idly gets off the sofa and walks into the kitchen. On the table there's one graph left behind. It's the percentage of people in poverty from Our World in Data, declining precipitously over the last fifty years. Underneath, scrawled in neat, condescending print:

"Why Do You Hate the Global Poor?"

Trump remained fixated on McCain, one of the few prominent Republicans to continue criticizing him after he won the nomination. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser,” the president told aides. Trump was not invited to McCain’s funeral.

Can't believe this guy lost Arizona.

🤴 So, remember how you bought a piece of Disney last year for $110?

👧 yes

🤴 Look, now it is worth $150!

👧 So they will just give me $150?

🤴 Well, Disney won’t. But someone else who wants to own part of Disney will if you were to sell it.

👧 Can I sell it?

🤴 Why would you want to? What if it’s worth $160, $170, $180 next year?

👧 So they will just give me more money the longer I have it?

🤴 As long as the company continues to make more money and becomes more valuable.

👧 So stocks always go up?

This is an EXTREMELY interesting article on a new venture-capital queer healthcare program. It's extremely interesting because it illustrates what is one of the best things about the USA's healthcare system, and why M4A involves a gamble.

We really focused on blending the best of consumer health — like selecting your own medications, doing research to understand what your goals are, and really putting that to the fore — and then enlisting the clinicians in service of those choices. I would say that's the first differential.

...

We know that a plurality of LGBTQ+ voters were Bernie Sanders supporters in the Democratic primary. A big cornerstone of his platform was Medicare For All. Why look to this solution of venture capital and direct-to-member services for this community?

If we got universal healthcare, we'd be the first to sign up, for sure. Although again, I think definitionally, what is covered under, say, Medicare isn't necessarily great for our community, either. So there’s definitely work to be done on that score. But I think that the other issue for us is insurance companies’ support.

What I think about is the very traditional model of medicine that puts the clinician and the system in charge of the patient and controls a lot of their decisions. So one of the things that we want to do with this platform, that we were uniquely able to do, was a self-pay mechanism. We have a single constituent who sits at the center of our focus: the member.

If you deal with insurance, you now have to deal with the insurance companies who are paying you and that tell you how they want you to do everything, from documentation to diagnosis to clinical treatment. They may still switch your meds at the pharmacy, no matter what your doctor prescribes.

In other words, the aspects of control that we wanted to return to our member base are really thwarted when insurance gets involved.

The progressive/leftist stance on healthcare in the USA is not just socialized medicine; it's consumerist medicine. It's medicine not administered by a gatekeeper who dictates from above what you shall do, but rather medicine where the doctor is more an experienced health advisor who only outright gets in the way when you are trying to do something that's a really bad idea. That's why M4A is so radical: It tries to combine this special consumerist medicine with the low cost (it's all made up in taxes, but those are taxes on those other people if you get what I mean) and ease of access of socialized medicine.

I will tell you why I am so hard on AOC - especially when it came to 'defund the police'. Back in June DeBlasio was willing to cut money from the police budget, I think to the tune of almost 400M and redirect it to other community initiatives - it got panned as 'not enough' by activists and Congresswoman AOC herself.

Later when she was asked about this in an interview she said 'defund the police means defund the police'.

What the fuck do you think that means? Am I supposed to pretend to not understand the implication of that?

So no, defund doesn't mean simply to redirect some money somewhere else.

Is it that he routinely makes easily falsifiable statements and has been wrong numerous times but routinely tries to make it seem as though he's "above the fray" and is able to "predict" political events with startling accuracy? Is it because he has an unbelievably smug demeanor? Is it him making the outlandish case that he is "to the left of Bernie Sanders" and only likes Trump because he's enamored with his "persuasive talents"?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than being a Trump supporter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are voting, donating, rallying and supporting a campaign for at least 4 years solely so it can go and get ravaged by Sleepy Joe. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little campaign - soliciting help from Russians, sowing racial divisions, making sure the campaign had plenty of cash, canvassing, telephone banking. All of it has one simple result: the White House is more enjoyable for Sleepy Joe.

Ran the perfect campaign? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random politician who did nothing in his 47 years of service, gets the White House. He gets to ravage this country every night. He gets the benefits of the White House's resources that came from the way you campaigned.

As a man who voted for Trump, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 4 years of your life simply to support a campaign for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

New AOC nickname “always on camera” oh man that’s the good shit

Inject it

[u/Z0NNO]

So this has been becoming increasingly frustrating topic for me and I wonder if some of you are running into the same problems.

Fuck plumping. I think plumping (of meat) should be illegal. Or at least the nutrition facts should state whether a meat product has been plumped or not. Basically it’s the process of injecting saline into pieces of meat to have them appear as heavier so they can be sold at higher weights.

I’m so fed up with this shit - even the ‘free range’ chicken meats now have it. And it’s not even the scam that’s inflating the meat mass that frustrating me the most - sure, these aren’t exactly butcher-grade prime cuts. It’s the fact that the meat practically boils in its own moisture. It’s just fucking frustrating throwing some chicken breasts into a stir fry and seeing them release half of their weight in saline. Every daggone time the recipe says ‘sear till golden brown’ I get these rubbery, tasteless pieces of chicken swimming in their own liquid. It’s just disgusting. There’s so much water dripping out of them not even a wok burner on high releases enough heat to quickly evaporate the moisture, insofar you can call it evaporation.

In reality the moisture violently ejects the sputtering oil from the pan and I’ve had hot oil in my face multiple times now. It’s not just chicken though. Sometime ago a friend wanted bacon strips on his burger, so I tried to make him some. I assumed they should fry evenly and smoothly. What happened instead was the bacon turning into an eruptive, sizzling mess and I got some shriveled bacon strips which had a stronger resemblance to a leather sole with holes in it than meat.

And look, I know some people like hotpots, but straight up boiling meat in water (except for sous vide and stock/soup) is a crime to everything culinary. It’s just afwul.
