Does everyone remember, idk how long ago now, when “olestra” was the biggest thing to hit food and all over the news (and the various rumors about it)?
Oh man, I remember this well - I was actually a spokesperson for Pepsi in the late '90s when Olestra was rolled out. What a mess that turned out to be. I had to include this awkward disclaimer every single time I talked about it: ‘Digestive issues have been known to occur in less than 2% of the population.’ Fun times trying to market that one!
-
Wasn’t Olestra banned in like… all of Europe and most of Asia and South America?

@MisterBoring Yep! If you wanna crap your guts out for your snack foods, you gotta come to the US!

Adviising students visiting the US for a short class to keep in touch with their nation’s consulates, and providing them with addresses and telephone numbers for the consulates closest to the cities the students will visit. Feeling like this is a necessary precaution. Want to cry.

There still aren’t any original fantasy MU* games to play.

Is Songs of Avaria still running? It looked like an original setting.

I’m so tired of solving other people’s problems. I would really like for someone to solve my problems for a change.

Hydrate, eat leafy greens and starchy vegetables as often as practical, start no shit but take none either, invest time in local community, and if that fails kill a billionaire CEO.

RL is eating me alive. I sustained what I am no longer in denial about it being a career ending injury several months ago, still doing my best to soldier through my remaining settled contract hours all while jumping into the abyss of despair that is job searching right now (and starting over in roles that I dont have 30 years of experience in). Ugh.

When someone you hero-worshipped as a child turns out, 30 years later, to be into some of the conspiraciest of conspiracy theories.
