Obama ran on being anti-war and broke that promise.

Mamdani is keeping his campaign promises, thus the article we are responding to.

The problem with politicians on the left is that they actually get called out for their lies by their constituents.

    Childhood nostalgia is a pretty big deal for nearly all humans. That is why a Charizard card sells for 10k. There is something in your life that you miss, it is just not Harry Potter.

    A lot of people look back for many reasons and everyone has their own attachments. It is upsetting to lose an attachment and have part of your childhood tainted by the present.

    Let people grieve for the past, it is normal and healthy.

    I'm an American who grew up with an English Nan in a part of the country filled with Italian Nonnas.

    My jealousy of their food compared to a roast that could not be more dry.... my other grandma was American and couldn't cook either.

    Luckily, my mom was self taught so good food at home.

    I honestly don't care what they are stealing, it isn't my problem. The Walton Family steal my money in taxes to feed their employees. If someone takes a TV or video game back on occasion, I'm not saying a word. They're worth a combined 520 billion by the way.

    This is common in a lot of island and desert populations, where their ancestors had to store fat to survive multiple famines and shortages. Modern diets are terrible and all, but like most things in life, there are a variety of factors at play here.

    Finding the right number of calories is difficult - but for some folks, genetically, that number is way lower than others.
