    Today we’re celebrating in Brazil because the fucking fascist (Bolsonaro) that was our previous president had his political rights stripped for 8 years for abusing power in the previous election.

    You know what’s better? Dude did EVERYTHING he could to rig the elections and LOST. That’s how incompetent those fucking fascists are today. Even the libs saw through him.

    Yep, bourgeois justice sucks but at least it brought this to the table today. :)

    We’re still far from where we should be, with our “center left” conciliatory government defending basically a continuation of liberal economic policies. But at least that particular fascist is out of commission for a while.

    We’re going to celebrate like carnival or world cup today.

    FUCK YOU, BOLSONARO. I’ll still live to see you ROT IN A FUCKING JAIL CELL, YOU FUCKING GENOCIDAL MURDERING PIECE OF SHIT.

        It’s been years since I’ve gone, I love marine life and aquariums, and I kind of want to just act like a little kid for a bit, so I think I’m probably going to travel to the large national aquarium a few cities over for the day!

        I remember visiting there when I was a little kid, but all I have left to remember that trip is some 240p photos on my old DS haha.

    I’ve been on a diet cranberry lick lately. This shit is amazing. Good way to get vitamin C as well. Hope all the comrades stay healthy this Friday 😎

            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.

        They are not exactly unhealthy either. The reason why the WHO does not recommend them is because they know some people will attempt controlling their weight resorting to artificial sweeteners instead of doing exercise and eating fruits and veggies like one should.
