I re-opened it right around the US election.

Massaging his heiling arm. Seriously, what disgusting human beings, if they can even be called that.

"Spyware? In my spyware?"

This meme was brought to you by the Signal gang.

This is indeed The Room. This is Day 62 of making a meme from every line of dialogue from that film.

Hi, ByteOnBikes. Rule 3 of this community doesn't technically cover your post because it only pertains when linking articles, but the spirit still applies: if there are better sources than a screenshot of a news station posted in /r/Philippines, we'd prefer to use them to not act as potential vectors for fake news.

I'd therefore ask that you either replace the /r/Philippines link with the video of the full news segment or to make that the main link in your post. Please additionally summarize your post in the title, for example even just by using the subheadline for the title instead (but not all-caps). Thanks.

I know you mean well, but please explain the difference in tone between my comment (just the original, which the downvotes came from) and this one with 20 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Functionally there is no difference in tone or (as you noted) factual accuracy. If anything, the linked comment is more prescriptive in that it directly tells the reader what to do ("keep your teeth clean"). That I compared an omnivorous diet negatively against a predominantly or wholly plant-based one in any way is the obvious reason why this has as many downvotes as upvotes: people are conditioned to see any mention of a vegan diet's health benefits as preachy and dogmatic.

If anyone's never played it, The Room Tribute is a solid 9/10 for what it is and absolutely should be played by anyone who enjoys The Room.

A vegan diet or one at least heavily plant-based (and diets like the Mediterranean one) are consistently linked to lower inflammation in meta-analysis after meta-analysis.

Edit: I have no clue why this is getting downvoted. Examples below:

  • "The present systematic review provides evidence that vegan and vegetarian diets are associated with lower CRP levels, a major marker of inflammation and a mediator of inflammatory processes." —Scientific Reports (2020)
  • "This umbrella review offers valuable insights on the estimated reduction of risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases and cancer, and the CVDs-associated mortality, offered by the adoption of plant-based diets through pleiotropic mechanisms. Through the improvement of glycolipid profile, reduction of body weight/BMI, blood pressure, and systemic inflammation, A/AFPDs significantly reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease, gastrointestinal and prostate cancer, as well as related mortality." —PLoS One (2024)
  • "Evidence strongly suggests that plant-based dietary patterns that are abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains with less emphasis on animal foods and processed foods are a useful and a practical approach to preventing chronic diseases. Such dietary patterns, from plant-exclusive diets to plant-centered diets, are associated with improved long-term health outcomes and a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Given that neurodegenerative disorders share many pathophysiological mechanisms with CVD, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular damage, it is reasonable to deduce that plant-based diets can ameliorate cognitive decline as well." —Advances in Nutrition (2019)

A vegan diet is just generally lower in inflammatory foods than an omnivorous one.

Yeah, it's called switching away from these shit-ass invasive products wherever possible.
