Remember that time Christopher Hitchens said water boarding wasn't torture?

And then he stupidly agreed to be water boarded and immediately tapped out and admitted he was wrong?

Well, maybe we could arrange that for this author. But they don't get a choice. Let's see how they feel about starving after they've actually missed a few meals. Sick fuckers.

Excellent idea. Talk the talk, might as well walk the walk. Start with yourself and all that jazz

it sure looks like every article from mainstream media has the requirement to include the sentence "the continued effects from russia invasion" and sure its relevant. But when its about any sanctioned country i never see a single "the continued effects of US imposed sanctions" mention.

My favorite part is their assertion of 3 causes without pointing to the one that even liberal economists know is the majority of inflation: taking new profits.

Effects of Ukraine war on breakfasts in USA is negligible considering US barely even imported anything from there, and both other factors could be mitigated by idk, maybe a food subsidies? Aren't USA subsidize its food industry very heavily? They should at least have some decency to forbid scalping on it, but it's USA we are talking about.

I already do, it’s called drinking too much and waking up late smh

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago

it's not a question of should I skip breakfast. I am skipping breakfast whether I should or not, because I'm fucking broke, no one is hiring me for software engineering but not for lack of trying.

Doubt it. Russian media actually claimed Russia was buying eggs from Poland. At least the turkey eggs, for breeding specifically

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Russia buying Turkey from Poland" sounded quite weird for my sleep deprived mind.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Didn’t you know Poland has been in charge of Turkey for the past few decades? How else do you explain Erdogan?

[–] PZK@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty insane advice if have reached a point where you are telling people to skip what is probably the most important and often cheapest meal of the day.

Beyond this, it also attempts to trap people into buying more fast food to make up for the lost calories from breakfast, which have a higher chance of coming from a homemade source instead of lunch or dinner.

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, I'll just steal breakfast instead

I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence

To be fair, I do that anyway, but it's just a habit I picked up since like...junior high school. I just can't bring myself to eat in the morning. Breakfast is coffee, lunch is provided at my job but I usually end up skipping it too.

Not really to save money, though I suppose it does have that effect. I am just pretty much always going to prioritize getting a few minutes more sleep over breakfast.

Unfortunately this link is a paywall, anyone got the copy?

Yes, thank you.

Problem: "Breakfast foods are expensive."

A: Eat different foods when you wake up.

B: Subsidies to keep people buying the foods and keep the companies afloat.

C: Tips on local, sustainable food production.

D: Any combination of the above.

Solution: "TELL THE POOR TO EAT LESS."

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

F: Literally eat the rich. Prion diseases be damned.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

"Let them eat cake" with 100% less whimsy and charisma

[–] djmarcone@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You vill eat ze bugz You vill live in ze podz You vill own notink And be happy

[–] UltimateBlackComrade@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Do you have the link to where they say it because everyone always mentions that line but nobody ever provides the source.

[–] djmarcone@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

it comes from the great reset, there is a WEF sponsored video (I believe it was a WEF video) where they have the line "own nothing and be happy" so there's that.

There is a push for insect protein, coming from the WEF type global thinkers, and an obvious marketing push where even celebrities are being shown eating bugs. When it's on your morning news talking head show you know it's something "they" want people to start getting used to.

There is a push for sustainable housing where you have an extremely tiny living space - 100 Square Ft - but everything you need is within 15 minutes.

So that line you requested a source for, no, Klaus never said it, it is a "meme" of sorts, but there are a lot of WEF publications, videos, papers etc which make it abundantly clear that the globalist thinkers indeed do want the unwashed masses to eat bugs, live in pods in a 15 minute city, own nothing, and be happy.

So for your source, just look into what the WEF and WEF adjacent have actually said.

I’d like to see the bourgeoisie pry breakfast from my Vavó’s clutches. That lady goes fucking ballistic if I miss any meal, including my evening ice cream.
