Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean 36% of Americans are lactose intolerant. And the far right, weirdly views dairy consumption as some kind of high status...
I have never met a lactose intolerant person that didnt, upon mentioning it when they inevitably buy something full of lactose, look me dead in the eye and confirm their terrible intolerance before going into a frightening lactose-consuming frenzy that chilled me to my very core.
They know the price they must pay. They laugh at death and spit in the face of genetics. A grim, dangerous people, the lactose intolerant.
There are pills these days that are very good at breaking down lactose for you if you take them before eating
Yeah, but most of the lactose intolerant people I know constantly forget to take them, lol.
Those don't seem to work for me. I think it's because they started using an artificial sweetener that gives me equal or worse digestive issues
I pay the price everyday and I will never stop consuming delicious dairy even as it hurts me so much.
So like, I confirm this.
That's my wife in a nutshell. She'll eat all the cheese and ice cream she can get...even knowing she'll end up destroying the washroom afterwards!
That just means ice cream is anti-them, not the other way around.
Vegan ice cream can be fantastic, so it's not just a dairy thing.
I guess, but can is doing a lot of hefty lifting...
Not as much as it used to. There's some very good vegan ice cream out there. Just expect to pay more and have less selection.
Ben & Jerry make amazing ones. That brand that does Avocado ice cream is surprisingly really good (I was very skeptical). Nada Moo Cookies and Cream is pretty good.
Not ice cream, but a lot of the Talenti sorbets are also vegan and very good.
You can make a pretty good homemade version by blending bananas and avocado together and freezing it.
Frozen fruit and fruit juice makes a great creamy fruity ice cream. Add some coconut milk too
The don't cry over spilled silk at cold stone is sooo good.
Politics aside, I've known a few lactose intolerant people who still love ice cream. Willing to put themselves, those they care about and share confined spaces with, through the consequences of their intolerance for a scoop of that sweet salty iced cream with chocolate.
Lactose intolerance will not stop me from my ice cream
Is that a thing or an exaggeration?
Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed)
Middle Eastern people have been drink milk longer; I guess we have a new master race?
Seriously, these people never cease to disappoint in their weird metrics to prove themselves better than others.
That's hilarious, because historically in Europe milk drinking was viewed as something peasants did and calling Europeans butter stinkers is one of my more favorite insults.
