Post a controversial opinion

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."

By drugs tho tbf not by gum

even more in 2017, i think.

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.

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

slaughter your own animal - open 9am to 11am!

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.

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

some threads deserve to be shat up

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

nausea heartburn indigestion

upset stomach diarrhea!

hey poopto dismal!

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.

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

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

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

eat as in swallow, or

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.

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.

everyone on ilx is wrong about mint

don't get fresh!

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

Poe's second law: any sufficiently controversial opinion cannot be distinguished from a very stupid opinion.

A little too ham fisted for my taste

MINT MOTHERFUCKING CHUTNEY

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

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

found mint anti-dandruff shampoo today

I hear it's delicious.

We should have gone with garlic.

How bad can Fluoride actually taste? If it was too bad the government couldn't use it to turn us all into hermaphrodites.

the beano's lord marmaduke of bunkerton (known to all as snooty) was good not bad: he was pals with the ash can alley gang and let them live in his castle. In 2005 he briefly performed as hiphop artist snoot doggy dog

he should still renounce his title

I would be very interested in a social history of the UK in the 20th century as reflected through the prism of DC Thompson comics, could somebody please write this so I can buy it

he should stand for parliament just as tony snoot

xp obv

then he'd be followed by Snootites

i bet lord snooty was only too happy to line his pockets with taxpayers' cash under the guise of maintaining his castle though, while the real work was done for cheap by his alleged 'pals' in the ash can alley gang, who also supplemented their income by growing weed in his sprawling gardens

brb gonna lodge a freedom of information request

FOIty-touty

It isn't in the least weird that mint has come to represent freshness. Coldness, from brisk breezes, to new snowfalls, to mountain springs, is associated with freshness, and menthol from mint directly interacts with our primary cold detector, much as capsaicin from hot peppers is an agonist for our main heat detector.

sometimes free jazz is total bullshit

well sometimes any kind of music is bullshit

i believe art is objective, and that time is the truth-teller of quality
