    Just because RFK jr is a brain-damaged POS doesn’t make vegetable oil automatically the better choice.

    They are talking about the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which suggests that using vegetable oil reduces cardiac disease, but leads to earlier death.

    Rejecting science because it happens to be included in the garbage that an idiot believes would make you an idiot as well.

    Edit: While re-reading what I wrote, I realize I’m also taking about the scientist who ran the study. He believed that his study would show that vegetable oils are healthier than animal fats. When the results proved the opposite was true, he hid the data.

    In an excellent example of the lengths a cat will go to in order to fuck up your day, one of my cats jumped up to the top of the post at the top of the stairs and puked down the side of the post from his perch.

    It was honestly impressive in a what-kind-of-sociopath-would-do-that way.

    Our guinea pigs do the same thing.

    Any other time and they don’t get so close together. In the vet’s office they take turns crawling under each other.

    “Mounting” is dominance behavior among guinea pigs regardless of sex. If a guinea pig climbs on top of another one, it’s saying, “I’m the boss”. So it’s kind of amusing in a sad way to see the behavior change from trying to establish dominance to trying to force the other one to establish dominance.

    “You’re the boss!”

    “No, you’re the boss!”






  • I’m gonna respond to a couple points.

    I have never once met an overly religious person who wasn’t also a massive hypocrite

    I have. Not many. I can think of one. There may be others. However, that’s enough for me to know it does happen.

    From their perspective, they know they’re doing wrong. Their god knows they’re doing wrong. Their church knows they’re doing wrong too! So wouldn’t that imply this all goes towards their sins list?

    Absolutely! The bible warns against following false prophets. That’s what these church leaders are.

    But then I get told that sinners can just repent for all their sins, and be accepted into heaven.

    Yeah, but depending on the church, you have to actually repent. As I understand it, Catholics can confess their sins to a priest and be absolved. However, most other Christian religions consider it a matter between you and God, so you can’t just pretend to repent. It’s has to be real. You don’t get to trick God.

    One way it was described to me is like this: to be forgiven for your sins, you have to welcome Jesus into your heart. However, if you have welcomed Jesus into your heart, you wouldn’t sin. So, a sinner who has truly repented and embraced Jesus is forgiven and won’t sin again.

    I think the vast majority of people who are going to church don’t believe it any more than you do. They’re in it for the social interaction or for the standing it gives them in their community, and it’s all just bullshit. However, I have met real true believers.

    I’m not going to downvote you, but just because you know a lucky cat doesn’t mean being outdoors isn’t bad for the cat.

    It’s like hearing about some person who’s reached 100 years old who has a cigar and a shot of bourbon every day and thinking that it’s the shot and the cigar that caused the longevity instead of just the luck of the draw.

    Also it’s not good for the cats either.

    The stray cats I’ve known who found indoor lives never want to go out again. It’s the spoiled, pampered cats who incorrectly think they’re tough who want to go outside. The cats who’ve seen some shit know inside is where it’s at.
