Nah, wasn’t me. Read.
Wait, is anyone in the medical community contesting that? Besides, that’s a tangent to the comment that triggered you, I think.
Yes, I think the comment that irked you is assuming that the reader accepts the premises that the USA is overconsumptive, that this is due to an ideology of endless surplus, that the cancerlike imperative that line must go up is laying waste to everything, and that these thought patterns lead to bad decisions like OP is calling out.
Not evident to you, I suppose… fair enough.
Oh, so you're just barging in to act smug about someone else's brain fart. That's worse. You know that's worse, right?
This ends here.
I didn’t barge in, it's a thread in a forum and some imperious commenter was being toxic and it's just fucking exhausting to deal with sometimes, so if someone helps out that's usually great.
If you want to talk about the issue instead of picking fights, fine. Otherwise don't turn the place into reddit.
