Milord has no choice but to take measures against the other peasants who have been possessed by woke transgender demons to steal from him 😔
This 15 minute city conspiracy is annoying me, I’ve seen these protestors every day for the last two months or so protesting it…I live in a city/town you can travel across in less than 10 mins by car. It’s pure brainworms.
its wild how many people love the taste of bootpolish
It’s funny that there is no mention of the cost increase for cooking oil. It’s one of the items that has increased on avg somewhere between 300% to 400% ($2.35 to $2.50 in 2021 to $6.75 to $8.00 today) for the standard grocery store 24oz bottle.
Then again, it makes sense for the propagandized American mind because they can’t blame the free market of commodities or capitalism prioritizing shareholder returns nor can they recognize desperate people will steal if their children are hungry and paychecks no longer can afford basics. Nope, it has to be some bullshit culture war nonsense that helps them avoid that cognitive dissonance.
I swear the consumer price index used for inflation measurements is being intentionally gamed, big retailers have avoided increasing prices more than 10 to 15% on those items in order to help fudge the numbers. Consumer price index isn’t tracking the actual staples for Americans that can be effected by inflation, they track items like a gallon of milk which is stupid because dairy actually has price controls rather than being at the mercy of the market. They need to add frozen potato products (tater tots, etc), frozen vegetables, frozen burritos, tortinos frozen pizzas, 12oz can of chili, 24oz cooking oil, and the other things form the average Americans garbage diet… all items that have gone up around 300% since 2021. If they were $2 before they are $6 now when you account for companies pulling bullshit like shrinking package sizes to obfuscate price increases.
Questionable ideas for what constitutes “cooking oil” aside
What does that even mean? What is there to question in the validity of vegetable oil?
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is part of fake “culture war” to these rightoids. Whatever clickbait outrage slop of the week conservative commentators decide is important becomes part of their identity and they have to bring it up at every occasion to own the libs.
Chuds think seed oils are bad, and they’re super weird about it. Remember the soy thing from a few years ago? It’s basically a rehashing of that. They think it’s “feminizing men” and that real men only cook with lard and butter (olive oil is the exception because le “trad med diet”).
it was funny as fuck those couple months where wignats were chugging milk (with actual animal estrogen in it) to own the libs
I think that had more to do with their wacky belief that only white people can drink milk
Why does he not consider vegetable oil to be cooking oil?
Seed-oil brain, I guess?
I’m on a seed oil diet - if i see d oil, I drink it
I only use high quality extra virgin olive oil, even when it costs $50 a bottle and is wrong for the recipe. In fact, I use it as a substitute for all liquids, including water. But the damn kids keep taking my olive oil and using it as body wash, like the ancient Greeks did. Slippery little bastards.
Conspiracy theory among the far-right and “carnivores” that seed oil is feminizing men, ruining society, causing cell death, etc.

Nonsense. If phytoestrogens worked the same way as human estrogen, don’t you think there would be major physical differences between say, vegans and non-vegans? If consuming large amounts of phyto-estrogen could cause significant physical changes to your body, I think we would know by now.
Not to mention a lot of the worlds top weightlifters are Chinese atm and they’re eating more soy on average than their American counterparts.

Is this a bit? Because I’ve genuinely never seen one of you in the wild until right now and this isn’t the place I expected it.
From research I read, the phyto-estrogens have the opposite effect you’re saying. While they have a very similar structure to estrogen, they aren’t estrogen. So at most they trick the body into producing more testosterone. But phyto-estrogens, as plant hormones, obviously are not absorbed or used by our body….

Pretty sure this is debunked. Most protein powders are soy based.
The gymbro industry wouldn’t let that anywhere their workouts if it lowered testosterone.
phyto-estrogen, which is processed by humans as normal-ole’ human estrogen, having a literal and physical feminising effect on males.
You’re such a fucking rube
bit idea transwoman that believes this and drinks soy milk for this reason
I’ve said for years that if this shit was real you’d see transphobe legislators trying to ban soy
we get tricked into doing this on the regular. at best it doesn’t work and at worst it’s harmful.
I mean I was doing a lot of insufferable “soyboy” jokes while eating tofu for the first time the other week, so I support this bit
I’ve deleted my previous post because I was working on old (15 years +) knowledge. There WERE studies which seemed to show that, but I hadn’t followed the subject and apparently further expanded studies show that phytoestrogens don’t have an effect on males. I humbly stand corrected. I will not say that they do any more.
For the record I eat tofu maybe once a week. The seed oil issue is not the phytoestrogens, it’s the polyunsaturated fat, and it’s not just soybean oil it’s any oil with high polyfats (corn cottonseed, etc). And it doesn’t “feminize” you (chuds are just small pp and therefore obsessed with feminization), it just does bad stuff in general, depending on your phenotype
chuds have only found out about this since 2019 or so (they are incapable of anything original), I’ve been avoiding them (not religiously) since 2010. And my health got a lot better after doing so. I had liver spots that disappeared after doing this and my scalp got a lot less greasy, and my hair quality improved. Behavioral changes too, much less agitated and intense and “overly focused”, more flexible, higher attention span
I also experienced similar effects when taking aspirin, which is a known inhibitor of the enzyme which transforms those polyfats into inflammatory prostaglandins. Obviously taking drugs isn’t the most “natural” thing so I’d rather just lower the polyfat intake at the start of the chain
I should also mention that I’m ancestrally from a tropical climate, and the whole point of polyunsaturated fat aka the reason it even exists, is so that it survives freezing temps which only happen in temperate climates. (think about what happens when you put coconut oil in the fridge, now imagine what that does to the coconut seed–any saturated fat crop in a temperate climate would just instantly go extinct since all its seeds would die from the fat freezing and destroying its tissues)
So the seed oils are probably fine, and maybe even necessary, for most mayos and east asians (and probably latinos since Native Americans came from the north) who evolved eating tons of polyfat crops with no alternative. Again this is just a generalization and there are all sorts of individual phenotypes in every group
If anything the people who need to be avoiding seed oils the most are Black and Indian people generally speaking
Super interesting. Thanks.
it’s funny because there’s a ton of shitty companies trying to con closeted trans women into taking phytoestrogen supplements as an OTC transition drug. it’s well known in trans communities that at best the dosages are too low to do anything and at worst have a straight up negative impact because phytoestrogens have an extremely weak estrogenic effect, so they block up the estrogen receptors and prevent the actual estradiol in your system from doing anything. some recent studies show that at a sufficiently high dosage, they can permanently harm breast development and the like, but the effect/sample sizes are too small to be certain yet (medical research on transition fucking sucks – there’s no funding and they operate on samples of like 10 people at a time).
Vegetable oil isn’t necessarily seed oil, it could pretty much be anything. If you actually want seed oil that’s cheap you should opt for canola.
Vegetable oil at the store is typically soybean, but yeah the anti-oil weirdos lump soybean, peanut, corn, etc. together with canola, sunflower, safflower, palm, etc. Unless it’s lard or olive oil it’s all the same to them
Lol where else did people get the fat in their diet other than nuts and seeds? You can get some from meat but not enough for daily needs.
If you’re ancestrally from a tropical climate, the biggest and most efficient fat sources (apart from animals) were coconuts and other highly saturated (sometimes monounsaturated) crops
also, even the animals from tropical climates have lower total fat levels, and within that fat a higher proportion of saturated fat
anyway the issue is more about the person’s individual phenotype and the total amount of polyfats. I still eat some nuts and seeds, but I feel awful when I resume eating food cooked in “vegetable oil”. (or any high polyfat oil)
I also feel awful eating food cooked in pork grease, but solid pork meat is fine. This is probably because the grease contains a much higher amount of polyfats, while the fat left over on the solid meat is mostly monounsaturated/saturated. (polyfats are liquid at room temperature and even very cold temps, while saturated fats are solid)
Whole foods are definitely different from eating chemically separated oils, they have higher vitamin E which ameliorates the inflammatory effects of polyfats (which turn into prostaglandins especially in African and Indian people’s bodies), and they also have much less total fat in general
critical support to chronic heart disease for removing the problem after a few years
Still number 1!
I was kind of expecting it to be a “carnivore” thing, but didn’t consider the soy boy aspect.
Thought it was like “I only cook with lard, butter, and bacon grease because vegetables are gross”
remember: if you see someone shoplifting, no you didn’t
i’m not even convinced that companies are losing this much money to shoplifting, it seems like a convenient excuse for either poor management or intentionally using the real estate wrong to do weird fucky financial fraud. I used to work at a grocery store and far, far more loss of profit came from stuff not getting sold, or stuff being broken or expiring. Sometimes a case of pickles or whatever would arrive completely busted. Sometimes the wrong thing got ordered. Sometimes stuff falls off shelves or you have hyperactive kids pick stuff up and break it. Shoplifting was a rounding error compared to all of that.
Maybe it’s different in other areas, but I’m not convinced. These are gajillion dollar companies and they’re being brought down by people stealing eye liner and baby formula?
Chuds have to come up with these narratives that some states simply allow shoplifting by law.
A couple months ago the Walgreens CEO admitted they were making shit up about shoplifting being so much worse the previous year or whatever. Of course by then they had already gotten the narrative out there and shut down the stores they wanted to shut down.
Food/product waste is another extremely
stupidevil thing we have to deal with yeah, shit sucks.
If you see someone shoplifting, begin asking all nearby associates really weird distracting questions
or just accidentally make a mess on aisle 5 for no reason
I need a reality check. What’s the street value of 64 ounces of 100% pure Walmart brand vegetable oil?
In case this is a sincere question - $9 in rural Ohio.
I think this hints at who is doing a considerable amount of shoplifting. The press around shoplifting (see
as always) is that it’s shadowy organizations paying people to walk in, grab as much expensive stuff as they can, and walk out past employees who are frustrated by how blatant it all is and scared of violence if they interfere.But no criminal mastermind is organizing this type of granular theft of cheap, heavy, bulky items. The person stealing vegetable oil is someone trying to stretch a food budget by “forgetting” to ring up something like this at self-checkout.
The flashier type of shoplifting does happen (although it’s often people with drug problems acting independently and selling to shady pawn shops), but either the second type happens quite a bit, too, or security like this is cheap enough and companies half want to drive people out of stores anyway.

TIL
Right wingers have finally caught up to the 2017 leftbook “imagine doing X” format
And are still going with the “fifteen minute cities” thing that was a fad on NUMTOT-adjacent Facebook for like two weeks back in 2021
Gonna start creating random facebook groups to use as meme responses
the only parts of the US that could be considered 15 minute cities are some of the richer neighborhoods in NYC
yeah this shit doesn’t even exist, these dipshits dreamed it up a year ago and have convinced themselves that every city has completely restructured itself in that year
Iirc it started as a concept with the mayor of Paris and then other mayors have tried to copy it, but there is no actual 15 minute city anywhere yet.
Stealing is cool.
It should be legal to steal, escape from prison, and rob a bank. All three are cool. All three have given us great movies.
Isn’t Walmart one of the richest companies in the US? Oh yeah, I’m sure shoplifting is hurting them so hard that they just HAVE to do this. Couldn’t be their own greed.
Walmart became one of the richest companies in the US because of stuff like this. There’s a whole penny-pinching mentality built into their company structure that I haven’t seen at any other retailer I’ve worked for, and they argue that it’s how they keep their prices low.
presumably they think this security shit costs less than eating the shrink
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t.
Maybe it costs less than paying enough for employees to give a shit about shoplifters, so it lowers shrink in that way.
Every walmart around here has a special spot for cops to sit and watch people come and go right by the entrance. just like with employee benefits, they cut security costs by relying on the state.
I think to them, it’s more about sending a message.
“Dear poors, we will force you to work for free and we will only sell anything to rich people exclusively so have fun starving to death en masse. You won’t do shit about it.”
oh no, I have to steal two!
Is rank inequality and the exploitation of the working class to blame for social problems?
No, it’s the walkable cities that are wrong.
Lol conservatives will shit their pants over inflation and biden making gas and food expensive but then get angry that people steal?
they want other people to follow the rules even if it means quietly dying
How would a walmart fit in a fifteen minute city? It takes 15 minutes to cross the parking lot.
Easy, you live in the parking lot. Now do you leftists understand the threat we face?
You joke but Walmart parking lots are a good place to find people living in their cars ☹️
I like that there are places to pull over and safely take a nap during a road trip or whatever, but I hate that it’s only walmart.
the 15 minute cities are a
thing right? I cant even tell whos complaining about whatIt was a vague goal of the city government of Paris, I think? Basically, all basic necessities needing to be within a 15 minutes’ walk from one’s housing unit.
The chuds went wild with WEF shenanigans and from there it ballooned to a ridiculous brain-worm.
i think it started in Britain but american idiots seized on the dumbassery and ran with it
15 minute cities is just the idea that it should be feasible to walk to the shops from your house
It’s an urban planning concept that’s been proposed in a number of European cities. Because it’s European, it’s particularly odious to British chuds.
I don’t think Americans would even know about it without Twitter. Here your city is considered walkable if they bothered to build sidewalks.
its literally how cities were built for thousands of years until 20th century america came along
