"Susan, who has ulcerative colitis, said: "On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce. There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage."

Oh no Mozarella and tomatoes? Atrocious. Funny thing is fatty and processed foods like bacons and sausage are in the avoid list for people for ulcerative colitis (so is dairy for some to be fair but that is more case specific I think).

    Where are all those people who were trying to shit talk about him because he didn't say genocide enthusiastically enough in an interview once before. You can call terrorists terrorists and genocide genocide without any contradictions.

    This is the kind of rape which coldly reminds you that there are levels even within this kind of monstrosity. And as you yourself alluded in other posts, this particular person seems to be on the worst level of it, or close to. I do agree that it might have a perfectly reasonable and even sympathizable explanation, for instance perhaps he was regularly sexually abused by a parent when he was a kid and thinks that rape is some sort of punishment (which also counts as a societial source too). But unfortunately I find it hard to believe that there is a turning point from this sort of mental ilness/character once you are elbow deep in it. The only reasonable way forward for me is to change the society by conditioning younger generations and saving them from abuse, not spending time and energy on individuals that are too deep in such a pit.

    I have come to realize people who spend time in certain topics become "smart" in them (i.e they can make connections others can't make or have dexterity of thought regarding questions, problems, ideas on that topic). In this can be pretty much limited to that topic or its immediate neighbors. So every such statement should be evaluated conditional to the topic and the person's experience with it. Of course I have met couple people in my life that could make deep comments on topics they have even met for the first time but that is a separate category of people.
