      Exactly. I like to call such hubris "masturbatory design."

      Think it, be it.

        This I can use to describe many things from now on.  Thanks MC.

          My car broke down with severe motor damage out of the blue and I can't afford a replacement engine. Yet I need to drive 100 km per day to get to work. Feels like a punch in the guts.

              Yes. And no manageable solution is in sight right now.

                        I hope something works out max. What a terrible situation. As an ignorant American, I'd assumed there were bountiful public transportation options to get from anywhere to anywhere else in Europe.

                          Mega my main issue isn't corporations here, it's bad science and corporate cronyism spreading lies about which foods are safe. No one said burgers are good for you, but here in the states at least we are told to eat lots of "healthy whole grains." That's an oxymoron. Even the American Diabetic Association's official diet tells diabetics to eat these. This is quite literally the worst thing they could do for their condition this side of mainlining glucose. It does, coincidentally I'm sure, drive insulin usage and consumption / sales. And obesity and obesity related illness. Mainstream medicine is literally making people sick or sicker with their official dietary recommendations.

                          If I were just a smidge more paranoid I'd say this is all intentional. Health care certainly makes more money when more grievously ill people are around.

                            I get the feeling we could have a fairly deep conversation about topics of this nature and not find major disagreements. A little paranoia is a sign of critical thought, particularly in the modern age.

                                Pepsi is the driving factor of my weight. I love to drink it, but it impacts my weight heavily. I lost 15 pounds before my wedding last year soley from not drinking Pepsi. I did absolutely nothing else different, just no soda. It's probably the worst thing for you. Can  Anybody from New York City comment on if they really quit serving Jumbo sodas? I remember hearing your mayor wanted to only Serve small size sodas.

                                          It's NYC baby, you can't ban the JUMBOs.  There was a big stink about it raised by i think the aclu, but i don't recall what came off it besides still being served my big Soda Pop.

                                          I gave up internet porn, buying IH & eating churros, it's going to be a long 40 days.
