Lime? Don’t see a lot of lime candy all by themselves.
Butter too. So many candies include butter, but it’s rarely hyped as the star flavor.

I’ve heard that Kamala needs roughly a 3.5% advantage nationwide to break even in the electoral college. It’s not a direct correlation of course, but it stands as a good indicator.
It’s insane if you think about it though, that we give the republicans 3.5% house odds. That’s more than we give casinos in blackjack. We don’t even give most one arm bandits that much.
20 of us were out canvassing in my local county today. It was super enjoyable. Even the two folks that were voting for the other party were decent and respectable.
But I guarantee, not a one of us was out there for that orange guy.
When you say paid…
Get a Dietician and physical trainer. Use this opportunity to get yourself into healthy shape and never look back. I did something years ago and had no clue just how bad I was actually feeling before the improvement. Both physically and mentally. We are not designed to sit at desks all day.
Do your feet crack sometimes? Consider testing for athletes foot.
Blood, STD and Cancer screenings, as many as they’ll give you. Hell, depending how old you are, maybe a colonoscopy.
Sleep study. MRI, ECG, EKG. Allergy test. Dermatology/mole screening.
IQ test, find out your best skills and then learn how to use them to your advantage.
DNA testing, if you really want to know some things you may be perceptive to…though personally i don’t know if I would want to know if Huntingtons is in my future.
And I replied to you, specifically, regarding sports not being a hack on our emotions.
I suppose this begs the question, do you burn couches when a movie takes an emotional turn?
I have no contribution to why certain people do so around sports, other than to say 20% of the population also believes that the earth is flat, that is to say, they’re morons.
The difference is that movies and TV shows are often specifically made to elicit those reactions. Storytelling is essentially a hack that uses our emotions to implant lessons.
The same can't be said for sports events.
What part of this did I miss?
Way to completely miss my point.
Hmm, gonna try and narrow this down further. Did you climb any light poles as part of your celebration festivities?
Seriously!? A Cinderella team spends a full year working their way to the sweet 16 and perhaps eventually the final four? Then loses by one point. Do you not see the struggle, the passion, the determination and the heartbreak in that?
Or a champion tennis player, significantly past her prime, coming back to championship after multiple years out and winning the title.
Or two soccer superstars at the absolute peak of their field going head to head. Can you not sense the tension, and suspense as these two juggernauts battle it out to see who comes out on top?
Or a man, born without arms, overcoming adversity at all points in his life to become the fastest swimmer and winning the gold.
Do you not see how sport can be an allegory for the human condition? The struggle, the heartbreak that comes with failure, the celebration of success, the toll of aging.
If not, I challenge you to take up a sport for a year, just a year. Try to get as good as you can with it. Celebrate your successes. Reflect on your failures. Document your milestones as you progress . Try not to give up. Make friends along the way. Become the true definition of an amateur. Living through your own experiences, you may discover that sport is full of emotion.
My local uni pulled this shit with “sustainability.” It became so inclusive of a term that it lost all meaning. And then guess what? Solar panels stopped getting put on buildings, no windmills were put up. They added more gas turbines and steam tunnels.
They did convert to LED lighting though, so that’s a plus.
It’s been 10 years and I’m still pissed about the misappropriation of the term. When you focus on everything, you focus on nothing.
No thanks, I’ll take it without the butter.
