My mom grew tomatoes every year until she couldn't physically garden anymore.

They were still disgusting.

(Here's a study on the liver effects.)[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6549781/]

It doesn't specifically say that fructose has a worse effect on the liver than sucrose, but it does say that fructose is 2x sweeter than glucose, which makes it more addicting, which causes you to drink more because you crave it. So I went looking up sweetness scales and fructose is also sweeter than sucrose (which is still sweeter than glucose), sometimes by a significant margin.

So if both are bad on the liver, fructose could possibly be worse because of a higher level of addiction due to sweetness level, which causes you to consume more than you might with just sucrose.

You mean my house?

Depends what you're into. CD sales are more than alive and well in the kpop/jpop circles and there isn't a lot of vinyl to find there.

Well, that's probably because Justice Smith isn't related to Will Smith.

I think we all know someone who was forced to buy TP on ebay in the early pandemic.

No. I don't know anyone, aside from Internet memes.

Indie games is really where it's at right now.

On skimming, I'd thought it had something to do with the kpop group, BTS. They have a song called Louder than Bombs.

I don't think that's a bad thing on its own. Meat isn't the only source of protein that exists and Americans probably eat too much of it.

Starting from an early age to not expect meat at every meal otherwise it's not a meal is probably a good thing.

But if they deserved to eat, they would've been born into families that could feed them.

Outdoor festivals are likely treated a little differently than indoor ones.

I've been to several concerts that pour all drinks into a plastic solo cup.

I've only ever bought their peach tea. It was pretty tasty, but not something I would get all of the time. It was a nice alternative to other teas you find in the gas station.

I didn't even know they sold water. I've only ever seen tea.
