This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind.

While we're at it:

Biden: "The number one threat is the strength, and that strength that we've built is inflation."

Come on, man. If you would just stop and listen for a second. The thing is… This inflation is YOUR fault. You know, Corn Pop was a bad dude.

Worst president of my lifetime, and I'm old enough to remember Carter!

Bought a few groceries to feed the family, came to over $200! At least there was some groceries to buy, though I saw a lot of bare shelves. What is it about communist regimes and food shortages?

I don't expect the inflation numbers coming out today to be very good.
Wait till the formula shortages start to bite in.

You want to get a man excited, make it impossible for him to feed his kids.

But hey, no more mean tweets, right?
Obviously more abortions will address future formula shortages...

The inflation numbers were horrible as I expected. The news is spinning it as "not as bad as expected" and "lower than last month".

Now I'm really ticked we are sending 40 billion of unaccountable American tax dollars for a war escalation I don't support. The hogs are really feeding at the trough, they love war.

Sadly too true. No wonder America has a diabetes epidemic.

We're talking 2 tablespoons of karo mixed into 31 ounces of evaporated milk and water - 3% of the overall volume - it's about 120 calories and 30g of carbs a day, so it's not like it's actually contributing to diabetes.  Now, the fact that karo is made from GMO corn treated with glyphosate would give me pause, but not its caloric or carb content.

What is that proportionally to a 10-30# baby?

The concentration of sugar in human breast milk is the highest of all mammals. 
~7 grams per 100 milliliters ..
Baby's need sugar and a good deal of it. 
Sugar intake does not cause diabetes.  Not at this stage of development.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

"It depends."

Newborns feed 8-12 times in a 24 hr period, 1-2 ounces each time - so 8 - 24 ounces of formula.  So anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 of an ounce of karo. So 24 grams of carbs at the top end.  So - about 0.002% of body mass a day, as a newborn (again, at the top end).

Not exactly the same as drinking a six pack of soda a day...

Good to know. You can understand how terrible it sounds to feed high-fructose corn syrup to infants. Especially the number of health issues that are now being associated with it.

Weird article from Politico:
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/31/biden-white-house-black-staffers-00035931

21 black staffers have left (or will soon leave) the White House, since late last year. It's significant enough it's been dubbed the "Blaxit". Departing staffers are saying it's because they feel like they're getting little support, and see little chance for promotion.
