"We ate a lot of McDonald's back then," Oakley said. "MJ ate McDonald's every morning for breakfast. Every morning. "


Do you think , therefore that elite athletes should do that as well?


They can eat what they want. Maccas does you no harm if you burn off the energy. All that sugar is a good source of the energy you need to get you through a day of training.


You are stuck in the cultural hypnosis if you truly believe " maccas does you no harm "

Should we tolerate Mussos bringing their violence here, to be used against us?

I say, cull them.

Plenty of elite athletes eat maccas and other junk food. It's not poisonous.

freediver,

Whoa, whoa, whoa !!

Because "Plenty of elite athletes eat maccas...."

Perhaps we need a [legislated] mandate,
for everyone to eat their [legislated] quota of Maccas,
because the current opinion of health 'experts' is that....
'Maccas are good for us!'  ?

.....because everyone knows.......'they are not poisonous.'

Most of what Trump says is BS.

But the masses are unthinking.

That's the point.
When you are beaten down. Eat junk smoke pot don't exercise
Bounce out of bed and are  just trying to cope with life.
You are NOT going to be thinking.
You are derping

And when someone from Trump to Andrews to coca cola to Temu tell you a lie but tell it with swagger , you just believe it.

So Trump's a P.T. Barnum with power, then.

Trump is exploiting the cultural hypnosis.

So, that's a Yes, then.

Absolutely.

It's why he waited til 2016 to run
When the derp state had reached critical mass.


I noted it to.
When I talk to my farm neighbours or my kids friends, there was always an " aliveness" in the eyes.
Big Bambi eyes, joyful.

Around 2016 , probably 8 years into social media and scrolling, I would go to town , and the majority of people were gone.
Glazed over sad eyes, dead in the eyes.
A few drug dealers and hustlers had the shark eyes, predatory eyes.
But the majority were asleep
They were so beaten down by poor food, poor sleep, poor jobs, there were hypnotized.


Trump exploited it in 2016.
After the covid lockdowns drained the last ounce of personal agency from people, they were even more easily sucked into his " strong frame" by 2024.

It was a smart move, he knew what he was doing in terms of votes.
Doesn't seem to know what he's doing in terms of trade but he is keeping the Trump dynasty well rewarded and that was always the plan

It's good when a plan comes together.
It smells like

Well, they were living in rural Queensland, so...

Trump didn't exploit the down mood as much as he exploited idiocy - that for every complex problem, there's a blood-simple solution. He started with the 'problem' of a black fella in the White House... Reason? He was a foreigner... an interloper... an African infiltrator... Not a real American... if he were, he'd know he had no business being in the White House... He got those sister-smacking Appalachians' attention.

From there, he's peddled one conspiracy after another.

Appalachia is the best argument for legal abortion and an Appalachian one-child policy.

Stay calm and keep your head down and choose your shots carefully.... you get a higher body count with well-aimed single shots than you do with spraying the woods ... we're in this for the  win ... not to be drawn into the same behaviour as them assholes.  Smiley

I'll do the carpet bombing....

Never fear - Trump's got 'em all by the balls now .... though some of them don't know it yet...

Saw a good one on Farcebook last night - you can't change a culture by screaming at it...

.. on the home front, it .... does.. work!  I awoke feeling half past dead, and after a coffee I actually felt the gears grind up one..... it's a miracle, I tells yez ..... Old Girl's stuck in hospital with bowel re-section and sick as a dog - down tomorrow again ... I doubt she's coming home but I have to be there anyway in case...

Ooohh… I told daughter a story of when I was younger and took a sickie off from work, went to doctor for doc cert…. there was a new fill in doctor, an absolute a-hole… and he refused to give me one, I said, but Dr. Hardy gives me one, and he says “I’m not Dr. Hardy”
I said how I have to travel 3 hours total daily to go to work and he just kept up with the condensation remarks, I don’t look sick enough to take a day off work etc.
I also said the (contraceptive) pill prescription (I was 22 years old and newly wed) is too strong and was making me put on weight, he says I eat too much pasta! (Reference to my Italian background no doubt)
Anyway… if you watch that vid again Meister, and read what it’s saying each time the gal comes in with her flying fists etc  Grin you would get it then why I felt that way.
When daughter sent it to me I PMSL!

By the way… I tried to make that foolish hard headed doctor understand how much train travel I do daily and he just poo-pooed me.

So get this….. one freezing cold 6.30 am winter morning, I’m on the old red rattlers heading to flinders street (early 1970s) and was getting quite squishy with passengers. I looked at a man in front of me reading a newspaper, I recognised him (the a-hole doctor) and I thought wow, suffer in ya jocks and he looked at me and the look in his face when he recognised me… he lifted his newspaper up high to cover his face.
Obviously he lost that cushy doctors job … others must’ve complained. Big mistake he didn’t show more empathy towards patients, in our area at the time, with very few doctors and so many patients sitting in the waiting room 2 hours for appointment.
