John Harvey Kellogg is singularly responsible for so much of what we think we know about diet and health.
However, like many 1800s doctors, he had some rather 1800s ideas.
The replies are laughing: Kids will just lie!
It's not 1995 anymore. Age verification is more sophisticated than a dropdown menu.
I knew what this meant, but I wanted a screenshot to prove it.

Florida will ban anyone under 14 owning a social media account from January 2025, deleting existing accounts
The bill was signed today by Governor DeSantis
I'm sorry, causing bodily injury? Wtf?
If you steal someone's food and that food makes you sick, that's on you. Lemon, salt, and vinegar are not toxic. They were "hospitalized" for literally nothing.
A bully got pranked. Good.
Mother of the year.
A Texas mom allegedly gave her son a mixed drink of lemon, salt and vinegar in an effort to prevent bullies at school from stealing the drink from her child. A child who drank the mixed beverage was hospitalized.
She took her phone out in the bathroom, took pictures of someone, and posted them online.
Every single gym, everywhere, has rules against that.
In her first post, she didn't mention a 12 y/o or the LGBT conversation. She added those elements after her membership was revoked.
UPDATE: The woman who exposed a man shaving in an Alaska Planet Fitness women's locker room with a 12-year-old present just had her membership revoked.
Why is
@PlanetFitness
prioritizing a man with a p*nis using a woman's private space over women's and girls' safety?
What these laws mean in practice is that you will have to enter your ID or use a credit card in order to prove that you're 18 to even read about Sex Ed or LGBT anything.
In Texas, your information goes into a database which is kept by the state.
Cool stuff.

This is obnoxious.
The YouTube algorithm is not going to scan the text that's on screen, realize you're talking about unaliving, and suppress your video.
Just write suicide, ffs.
This isn't tiktok. You can use real words.
The law states it must also not have any literary, artistic, political, or scientific value, but let's be real here.
Florida already did this with books in libraries and schools. They're talking about material that depicts or discusses anything LGBT related.

Corporate communists control the speech of their employees & customers by only allowing Democrat speech and punishing, silencing, and canceling Republican speech.
But there is a shift beginning.
People are beginning to refuse to be silenced and a Patriot economy is beginning.
Anything that the average Floridian would consider to appeal to the "prurient interest."
That's a legal term for lustful thoughts. Anything having to do with nudity or sex.
Note that both depictions and descriptions fall under this definition as well.

I hate that I'm old enough to know this now, but...
They give you fentanyl during a coloscopy.
If mere exposure to a trace amount causes these symptoms, millions of people would be dead.
These cops are panicking or lying.

In the Army, we used to tell 20 year old privates to ask around for blinker fluid, camo net stretchers, and artillery buffer springs.
Don't act like adults don't fall for these jokes all the time.
This law does what the article describes. It requires social media websites to delete any accounts from people under 14. ... In Section 1.
Section 2 discusses something that sounds like a good idea until you think about it for more than 5 seconds.

Stop calling it the 19th Century. It's the 1800s.
If I said "America declared independence in the eighteenth century," everyone has to stop for a second and remember to subtract one.
Nobody intuitively understands the century counting system. They have to convert it.

It states that any site that "publishes or distributes material harmful to minors" must perform age verification.
That sounds reasonable, but what is harmful material?
The first answer you might think of is porn, right? That's definitely part of it. You know what else is?

We wanted to actually have men compete in women's sports, but that turned out to not be possible.
So we made a fictional movie about it to convince Americans that it's a very serious issue anyway.
Ben Shapiro discussing the Daily Wires latest film about how easy it is for people to claim to be trans and to them dominate women's sports. Pretty interesting thing you may notice.
I hope she requests a jury trial because there's absolutely no way anyone convicts her of this given these facts.
I'll eat my words if there was rat poison in there or something, but that seems unlikely.
Reading this exchange isn't enough. You really need to watch/listen to it to get the full picture.
I'm starting to understand why politicians shot each other back in the 1800s.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up”
AOC: “That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Why don’t you debate me?”
AOC: “I think it’s gonna be self-evident”

This year, Easter Sunday falls on Trans Awareness Day, which has been on 3/31 for years.
This has really pissed off the right.
To compensate, Easter will be on Hitler's birthday next year.
I've been saying it for years.
Homeschooling is terrible and helps absolutely nobody.

This story is WILD
ICE created a fake university, then:
- enticed foreign-born students to attend
- charged them money
- arrested them
- deported them
Students had come legally on student visas, but since the school was fake the visas weren't valid

We took some of the kids to a driving range. I told them that was a dumb idea, but I was over-ruled.

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery/involuntary servitude, unless you were "duly convicted of a crime."
The 14th Amendment bars you from holding any office if you "engaged in insurrection or rebellion."
Conviction is not a requirement to be barred from office.

You're watching middle class white people experience the justice system for the first time and think it's only cruel and unjust to them.

A lot of people today seem confused as to why the right likes American History X given the plot.
It's because they think the entire message was undone by the final scene. He was right to hate black people. They shot his brother and he died in a urinal.
Hedge funds don't die.
They don't take a job in another city. They don't have children and upsize. They don't retire and downsize. Once they buy it, they keep it.
They're ruining the market by paying well over asking price so they can use it to generate rental income forever.
Democrats have introduced a bill in both houses of Congress to ban hedge funds from buying and owning single-family homes.
The bill would require all hedge funds to sell off all the single-family homes they own within 10 years, then prohibit them from owning any again.
We need a national divorce.
We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.

Red & orange areas have the same population. Imagine if orange elected our president every election & red was completely ignored. Exactly why we need to keep the Electoral College.

You guys have no idea how many hotep comments I get on my Indian Removal video.
There's a growing subculture in the black community that believes black people were the real Native Americans and that everyone currently calling themselves Indians are just white people cosplaying.

This is what we've been spending hundreds of billions of dollars every year to protect against? Pathetic.

Also today, they’re cutting list prices by 70% or more - a move that’s expected to *save* them hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

I'm not sure the right realizes the implications of disenfranchising their heroes with ptsd.
Literally every history teacher you had that graduated college before No Child Left Behind is a Social Studies teacher.
Having a Social Studies endorsement on my license means I can teach US and world history, geography, economics, government, and psychology.
In English, a lot of our last names are occupations.
Smith, Thatcher, Fletcher, Shoemaker, Baker, Miller, etc.
Do other languages do that too? Or are English-speaking countries just obsessed with work to the point that it's our literal identity?
This reddit user perfectly summed up why people love Trump so much. And let's be honest, this applies to Elon and several other right-wing figures.

You do all realize that the painting is 100% fine, right? It was protected behind a piece of glass.
If you're complaining about the "ethics of the protest" without mentioning that, I think you need to reexamine your own ethics.

Nothing pulls me out of it faster than a lazy edit.
Aside from the guy who drove me to the hospital, nobody from work came to see me. The principal didn't call me to see how I was doing.
So I impulsively applied to work at a regular high school. They called me that day.
I went to my interview looking like this.
They hired me.
AOC is correct, Ted Cruz is incorrect.
RICO is not a crime. One cannot be tried for "violating RICO."
If you're involved in a conspiracy to murder someone, under RICO, you can also be charged with murder.
There's no such thing as "first degree RICO," the crime is murder.
"Climate activists."
These people belong to Riposte Alimentaire, which is demanding a social security/food stamp system to combat rising food costs.
They're basically on the same side as all of those farmers that are ripping up highways across Europe.
I'm genuinely curious. How does this not violate Youtube's cyberbullying and harassment policies?
This goes beyond a drama-bait callout video. This is a dystopian Truman Show.
Cowboys do not exist anymore.
They drove cattle hundreds of miles from the pasture to the railroad until barbed wire was invented. The profession lasted a whole 20 years.
Anyone in a cowboy hat today is a rancher cosplaying as John Wayne.

Texas has effectively banned abortion. They're trying to end no-fault divorce. Now they want a list of every adult in their state who watches porn.
Don't worry, I'm sure Christian Nationalism won't come back to bite you specifically. You're a good person.
Youtubers are going overboard with the self-censoring. Most of the words they're bleeping are perfectly acceptable.
I understand bleeping swears, although that's also unnecessary.
But normal words like "sexual" do not need to be censored. Stop it.

She talks about the various bomb threats to schools that Libs is responsible for and censors "bomb" every single time.
So in voiceovers, you just hear "soon after, they got a -- threat." And "this school received three -- threats."

They didn’t put this in a Museum, they didn’t even auction it off to raise money. No, they burned it because they hate everything it stood for. They hate the people it represents.

When it comes to wasting valuable land, I think cemeteries are just as bad as golf courses.
Perhaps more so, since nobody would dare build anything on a former cemetery.
This is land set aside for dead people in perpetuity... it almost seems selfish in a way.
The State of the Union was about what I expected: empty platitudes and pats on the back for doing the bare minimum.
Somehow, despite being more politically divided than in 1860, the state of the union is "strong." Half the country believes the most recent election was stolen.
Call my cynical, but I'd take all of the niceties she's saying about Hamas with a grain of salt.

There's no limit to what I would tell the press to keep my partner safe. Just saying.

"They seemed really prepared and had concealed it for a long time," she added.

The Standard American History Myth treats American Indians as if they were an obstacle in the way of westward expansion and our inevitable march of progress.
But nothing about what the United States did to the Native Americans was inevitable.
Lincoln won the presidency on the brand new Republican ticket in 1860 with 39.8% in a four-way race. He took a Democrat, Andrew Johnson as his running mate in 1864.
People will sue over this.
It will go to the Supreme Court.
We already know their opinion on this, they stated it in the Dobbs decision.

If I don't want to use a word in my video because I'm worried about demonetization, I don't put it in the script. I get a thesaurus and find a different word.
I don't degrade the viewer experience by using that word anyway and censoring it in post.
