This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Not taking my chances to save a few calories

I was actually surprised to learn that aspartame (is that the one in the news atm) has only just been linked to cancer. I've been brought up to avoid that shit and thought it was well known to be not be safe for human consumption, regardless of the exact health effects.

Still, I'm partial to a few aspartames when I'm taking a break from the heavy metals and plastics in my tap water.

And the risks of any one macro food group (does it counts as a macro when it's the key ingredient in so many recipes?) should probably be weighed by other risk factors like necking six tins of full fat coke every day. Sugar is a hard drug to kick. Ideally we'd all eat fresh but it's tough in this world.
