Gatorade isn't actually a good source of electrolytes though.

It's sugar and pinch of salt.

However! There's totally good electrolyte powders that are packed with the goods, and they're not much pricier.

Also, sour patch kids have a weird ingredient in the coating that most electrolyte stuff doesn't have. Potassiumsomething something, irrc?

If you're super dehydrated while drinking a fuckload of water, stick some of them under your tongue

The culture war, you know, the one where a lot of folks think it's great we have things like birth control and public transportation and stuff.

And then a few other folks that think -basically, boiled down the real truth of it- that everyone that isn't a white male should be a slave to white males.

Obviously the best way to fight this is education, which a particular side has been hellbent on destroying, and considering what I was taught in public school, has been pretty effective about it.

Does it get to their wet dream of wantonly murdering folks in the street like they fantasize about? Well, we lost more people on our side in the 2020 protests than they did.

Probably something to with believing people are humans, and should be treated with dignity.

So get some goddamn guns and go to the range. I'd rather have it and not need it, and know how to fucking use it

Once again, I understand the best way to win is education. My short patience and compassion is entirely spent on people near me, so if you can go around teaching ignorant morons right from wrong please do. They already know. Their in-group lets them get away with it

Sounds like it's as random as the list this sherrif's putting together, don't it?

Well the way things are currently, is that certain people get murdered and shit on for super arbitrary reasons, so uhh.

Yeah. Fuck em

For dickbags to exercise power and control over people.

I don't youtube.

My understanding is most other countries (and our credit card #'s) have ..self-identifying? ...some spiffy numbers built into them that cryptographically verify that they're not fakes, whereas the US's SSN is pretty much just an incremental number assignation and has zero additional info built into it.

Like I know sisters that have sequential SSN's because there was a snafu and they got assigned them at the same time, rather than when they each were born.

Of course, I'm entirely against the whole fucking idea of giving people a fucking barcode at all, but that's an idealogical argument for another time

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's a fistful of felonies.

Like if you or I had done that, we'd still be in prison

Where's your tattoo that says you're an ignorant cunt?

EMTs and paramedics aren't allowed to acknowledge DNR tattoos, you literally have to file paperwork in your fucking county to have a signed, notarized DNR mean anything.

And they're still going to break every goddamn rib in your chest before they look up the paperwork

An honest, actual recovery with CPR is less than half of that 3% 'success' rate that gets bandied about. A true, 'this person actually healed up and had a life afterwards' recovery is less than half a percent.

It's freak accidents that happen to young people. Like 45 or younger.

Most people getting CPR are medically fragile already-hence the fucking heart stoppage-and foisting a chestful of broken ribs on top of whatever chronic ailments they already have does nothing but extend their suffering.

Wasn't that long ago, but damned if they ain't making it harder to do. Every cheap plot of land I've looked at has such stringent use restrictions it's basically having an invasive landlord with more steps. Homesteading is dead, at least in places i'd consider it.

Not to romanticize it too much. It sucked so bad my partner's mom responded to a trip idea with "what? Fuck no! We lived in a tent for a year, why the fuck would I want to go camping?"

We still are never allowed to 'just go live in the woods' lol
