Because new

Ma worked for the CIA from 1982 to 1989. He was accused of conspiring with a relative, who had also worked for the agency, to deliver “a large volume” of national defense information to Chinese spies in exchange for $50,000 in 2001.

Damn, national secrets go for cheap.

It’s a bluff, essentially (ironically?).

I suspect it’s a bad choice in the long run, but hopefully Morena can get some good out of it at least currently.

It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.

I disagree. I think many of them are legitimately just that stupid.

Although some probably are paid.

This is the kind of medical advice I like.

A revolution powered by a combination of progressive anti-monarchists and revanchist religious leaders emerged victorious, only for the progressives to get knee-capped by a Reagan government that claimed to be targeting the religious leadership.

Jesus fucking Christ. Tell me you know nothing about the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution without telling me you know nothing about the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution.

Don’t worry, plenty of online ‘leftists’ will tell me that this is what critical support for anti-imperialism looks like.

The US: “Please change your RoE to something that doesn’t make US police look restrained.”

Israel: “No.”

Looks like I’m in the clear!

Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can’t get unless you’re trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.

Malice and incompetence aren’t mutually exclusive. Reagan was both. Numerous biographies bear out that the man was a moron, but ideologically aligned with gruesome and competent people in his administration.

What Reagan did was Legal

Iran-Contra wants a word.

It’s, sadly, applicable to most militaries throughout history and the modern day.

Well, the reduced effectiveness was noticed. It created significant uncertainty, funny enough, over the actual causes of scurvy, since apparently citrus fruit wasn’t enough, until more rigorous studies happened in the 20th century.

The RAAAT… is like THIS!

If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you’re probably safe.

It’s hilariously easy to not get scurvy unless you’re on a 18th century ship, an arctic expedition, or trying to get it.

Reagan needs to be inside the criminal circle too, tbf. In fact, I think Reagan can probably share center stage with Trump, for that matter.

Scurvy is a Vitamin C deficiency, and you will absolutely get scurvy from an all-meat diet unless you’re eating mostly organs and uncooked meat.

Quite apparently no. Give your omnivorous human the vitamins it needs!
