Don't let them buffalo them into believing that tripe.

Milk isn't any healthier than any other drink. It's calcium content was considered it's primary benefit until a long term study was done that found we don't actually absorb calcium from milk that efficiently (like, 30-ish%). Calcium absorption in plants is much better, which makes sense since humans have been eating beans, nuts, and leafy greens far longer than dairy milk. We're built better for that. I'm sure populations have adapted more, somewhat, but there are still many places where the lactose intolerance is the norm and they're not all collapsing from brittle bones. The fat in milk is probably the healthiest part. You'd have to check the particular plant, but it even seems like plant-based milks might be better for all the health benefits than dairy. In general, low to moderate coffee consumption provides more health benefits than milk. You mostly just have to worry about caffeine levels.
He was a raging narcissist who perpetually thought he was smarter and more special than everyone around him. I'd say that fits pretty well with most libertarians I've met.
Ah, that makes more sense. I'm unaware of the artist. I saw a bunch of people in the comments talking about how they would definitely vote for this Biden and thought you might be referring to them. Sounds like we agree and I made some unwarranted assumptions. My apologies!
Who are you voting for?
Oh, well I guess they win then. Deep down they're probably good people, so we just ignore their bigotry and allow it to proliferate further and continue to make the rest of the world a worse place for people I care about.
Fuck that. I cut out my family for being bigots. I told them specifically why and I refuse to take their phone calls. You have to let people know that those beliefs are wrong and let them know that there are social consequences for continuing to believe them. America didn't pass the Civil Rights Act by waiting until people just came around and agreed with them. They said "This is wrong, and now illegal." and made them deal with the consequences (Kinda. It's still America and still pretty racist so..)
Point is, change doesn't happen by ignoring shitty behavior. This kind of behavior needs to be confronted and shut down every time. EVERY TIME.
Oh... Bless your heart...
As a general rule for dating apps, I've found for me, the best strategy for getting matches that turn into dates does not involve paying them. I'm not super attractive so it doesn't just happen on it's own, but if I leave the app alone for a few weeks/months, in an effort to drive your activity up, they will push your account to get you more matches. It works on me. I'll use the app for a day or 2, get a bunch of matches and some dates out of it, then they dry up and I stop using it again. Rinse and repeat. It's worked pretty consistently for a while now for me. But you have to stay completely off of it. Don't even open it to clear notifications or boredom scroll. When they say your account is about to become inactive, don't believe them. It'll come around and you'll get some notifications.
I don't know 100% that that's what's going on, but it's the thing that makes the most sense when using it gets me nothing but when I ignore the app, eventually I'll just get 2-5 matches in a single day out of nowhere.
