Doesnt matter where they are born, they remain indians. Same for the others.
I get that India has a scam culture problem - that's true. But most people are not like that.
Sure, but does it have electrolytes?
If anyone is calling you a warrior they're scamming you. It's bizarre to me how many people don't get that.
Get ready for the scam economy to go into overdrive to take all that you have left.
The company logo doesn't look like a W, it looks like an electrical diagram icon for a lightbulb, or one of those energy-saving curly bulbs.
I thought it was an intrauterine device.
… shedders?
it's the theory that vaccinated people "shed" their vaccinations to other people, which is complete bollocks.
I wish it worked like that, at least then these headasses wouldn't be dragging everyone else down with them when they decide not to get a shot
Vaccine shedding actually is a thing, but it's 1. only really linked to the oral polio vaccine (which itself is not common in most of the world) and 2. even then it's extremely rare.
It also requires an attenuated virus vaccine, which means it has a zero percent chance of happening due to mRNA vaccines. In other words, it's just more lying and fearmongering from bullshit scam artist grifters.
Looked at the site. It is vitamins, salt, food extracts, and Spermidine. Spermidine is a polyamine. I remember the first time I resuspended some in lab, it became clear from the smell why it is called SPERMidine. Wonder if the customers know there is a cheaper way to get a daily oral dose of Spermidine.
Sure, it's cheaper, but I'm on that 24/7 grind to make money for billionaires man, I ain't got time for the real deal! But just one of these pills gives me enough shame and self-hatred to last for the day!
I respect the hustle man good on you for guzzling oligarchy cum on the clock like a baasuse or like Elon would say, I am become cum
Trump's dreamteam got an infinite supply of it from sucking eachother off.
These people literally don't know what mRNA is, they believe it's the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It's good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.

People being clueless about mRNA is an abject failure of the US education system.
I wish I could set aside my convictions and care for others to make money this easily.
I feel like this is the key reason why the worst people are the most successful. I cannot count the number of opportunities I've passed over in life that would have just required me to lie to someone, to inflate my worth, to take something that I haven't earned, and so on. It's so natural for me to think in terms of morality and equity behind my decision making that I don't even consider alternatives.
And thus I'm over 40 and broke and will die working.
edit: just in retrospect, I figured I would mention my father. He was a man who was remarkably similar to our current president/king. Same hair and everything, the only difference was he drank like a fish. He had ZERO qualms about lying, he carried bizarre lies to his grave just to keep anyone the satisfaction of calling him out on even the smallest things. Lying came so easily to him that he built a multi-million dollar empire on lies, on borrowing money from one lender to pay another, of drug dealers and gangs and organized crime, of the very worst people in the world following him around like scavenger jackals hoping to catch a shred or crumb from the waste and excess my father surrounded himself with. I watched millions of dollars pass through his hands (and up his nose) and he never felt anything about it, he felt like it was never enough, that he deserved more and the people who suffered for it deserved their pain. I am telling this story because a lot of people think it's not real, that there are not truly dishonest people in the world, and everything we're all so contentious about is just misunderstandings and differences of perspective.
NO. There are lying liars who will look you in the face and tell complete falsehoods to you and smile as they do so, and they will delight in it. You are not aware of human darkness and you need to get it together. You NEED to understand how bad people can be, and how much people really LIE.
Exactly. It's not some cosmic battle or any of the other shit some people will use to grift, but some people are liars who more or less don't give half a shit who they hurt to get what they want (or maybe they do, some might, just not enough to not do it). And I'm not calling for cruelty or anything to them (many of them will be the first to advocate cruelty to "bad people"), just awareness, caution, and caring for your fellow humans.
There are other types of evil out there too. The banal variety has been made famous, but there's an evil made of fear, an evil made of self righteousness without reflection, an evil made of tribalism… I also think distance from the consequences of one's actions is a contributer. Power makes you a less moral person and all that.
Also, your father's life sounds miserable and exhausting. I bet he thought people who did things honest and built community were fools despite us often being happier than folks like him
They aren't the most successful, they just have the most money.
I guess our compensation is being able to be content with what we already have, and not having to constantly worry about someone finding out.
Cheers to good conscious. Also, grab any chance to lead a good change

Of course the URL has to appeal to the wannabe driving his lifted pickup truck, it has the word warrior in it. You get all these meatheads with delusions of being some sort of Spartan badass because they took 300 as a documentary.
And ironically enough they have more in common with the Persian "soldiers" which are just fodder for their God King.
Don't be silly.
The Persian Empire had basically abolished slavery. Xerxes is noted in particular for being a far kinder conquerer than the Greeks were proven time and again.
Whatever you can say about the fledgling democracy of the slave state Athens, it would be destroyed by Sparta eventually.
The wrong side won at Thermopylae.
Wait, didn't the Greeks famously lose at Thermopylae? They'd turn it around later but that's one of the most famous "celebrated losses" in history
Werent they the aggressors though?
All slave states deserve to be destroyed! But in that war at least, yes. How much time do you spend judging Alexander for his conquests though? It's just what those assholes did to each other in the Iron age.
Personally I'll root for the imperialist assholes who don't have slaves.

A future in federal criminality looks better and better.
Wait until he finds about the big room full of brass pipes feeding oxygen and nutrients to the brain of J Edgar Hoover, from where he is still running absolutely everything.
Elon enters the FBI's inner sanctum and must solve the Vat's riddles three in order to prove he's not a gay communist
