The world is overpopulated and the deaths of a few million here and there, grouped by a particular characteristic or not, is no great harm

Cheese is a more interesting topic than anyone's opinion on anything including cheese

People bemoaning overpopulation always have at least one immediate means of contributing to the solution

I won't accept "overpopulated" until all of Europe and North America has the density of Hong Kong + entire cities on floating offshore platforms.

who needs to wait for global warming? not americans, by gum!

"Total U.S. Drug Deaths* - More than 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2016, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids--nearly double in a decade."

scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2018 15:53 (eight years ago)

By drugs tho tbf not by gum

things you looked shockingly old when you wore (darraghmac), Friday, 2 March 2018 15:54 (eight years ago)

even more in 2017, i think.

scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2018 15:57 (eight years ago)

all i'm saying is this country is doing its part to control population growth. and its not easy when you are a big rich country either! you have to try even harder to find ways to die in big numbers. but with guns and drugs we are on the right path.

also, see ya at the rib shack...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for approximately 800,000 deaths in the United States (US), or one out of every three deaths. Among Americans, an average of one person dies from CVD every 40 seconds. Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for the majority of CVD deaths, followed by stroke and heart failure.

If twasnt that it'd be something else.

Cesar, the tapas restaurant that is across the street from the Cheese Board, does have excellent drinks (and food), but I wasn't aware you were familiar with the gourmet restaurant scene in North Berkeley?

Gourmet? Not sure more applicable than ghetto, but quite suitable for gourmandizing, though I've never been willing to do more than observe the line. I wasn't aware you were familiar with my levels of familiarity.

Moo Vaughn, Friday, 2 March 2018 17:29 (eight years ago)

we now have an entire board for cheese you can stop shitting up the controp thread

Mordy, Friday, 2 March 2018 18:11 (eight years ago)

some threads deserve to be shat up

sarahell, Friday, 2 March 2018 18:14 (eight years ago)

you ain't gonna shit up nothin' if you keep eatin' all that cheese!

i can't think of anything controversial. old people live too long? they never move away anymore. and there are so many of them!

i don't even really believe that though. they do live forever now though.

Mint is terrible, you're all terrible. I put up with it when I brush my teeth, but that's it.

Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Sunday, 4 March 2018 09:37 (eight years ago)

It's really like my only food dislike (by taste etc.)

Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Sunday, 4 March 2018 09:38 (eight years ago)

I feel like we did do a weird thing by associating mint with freshness or an astringent quality by making a default for dental products and chewing gum

mh, Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:56 (eight years ago)

I dont' brush my teeth I just eat mint gum is that wrong

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:58 (eight years ago)

eat as in swallow, or

mh, Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:59 (eight years ago)

It is weird that mint, which is a member of the deadnettle family (along with sage, oregano, marjoram, basil), has come in the western world to represent freshness and sweetness and is a common ingredient in desserts.... and paired with chocolate. It is much better in Vietnamese cooking paired with cilantro and lemongrass IMHO.

rb (soda), Sunday, 4 March 2018 16:03 (eight years ago)

I barely ever use mint, but when I used it as a garnish and in the onion salad with a chicken biryani last year I thought it added something good to the overall taste tbh.

calzino, Sunday, 4 March 2018 16:04 (eight years ago)

everyone on ilx is wrong about mint

mark s, Sunday, 4 March 2018 16:05 (eight years ago)

don't get fresh!

calzino, Sunday, 4 March 2018 16:07 (eight years ago)

I would totally use thyme toothpaste though. I like the Marvis licorice one plenty.

If it's not mint, it's cheese, what's happened to our borad?

"Do not wipe the taste of the day away with the false and foreign taste of mint, but relish the compacted and compounded evidence of an evening well spent! Sleep's supplicating arms have long been an enemy of the Nation of Ulysses"

All toothpastes should be pork flavoured

MINT MOTHERFUCKING CHUTNEY

ziggy the ginhead (rushomancy), Sunday, 4 March 2018 19:17 (eight years ago)

you can even make a grilled mint chutney and cheese sandwich. speaking of cheese. and mint.

scott seward, Sunday, 4 March 2018 22:18 (eight years ago)

Mint is more than welcome in drinks, though. Mojito. Julep.

Wyld Scalyns (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 4 March 2018 23:53 (eight years ago)
