^You dont even want to look at tuna too closely. All that mercury can potentially booger up your reproduction.

Not sure about that. The EU is extremely anal about such things, so I kind of have a hart time imagining that stuff like this would really slip through here like that (someone prove me wrong).

Canned tuna isn't so bad as ironically the cheaper tuna variants used for canning are less contaminated - probably should not stuff your face with thuna sashimi every day though. Don't see anyone making a case for tuna being a superfood (if anything influences would probably try to pawn you some omega 3 supplements).

If you don't know, matcha is made by grinding tencha leaves that you're then consuming along with the tea. Now, as long as you buy high quality matcha tea and keep your consumption below three grams per day that should not be an issue. Cheap Chiniese knockoffs might even contain some fun pesticides as a bonus though.  Spooning it into your breakfast bowl because some influencer told you it cures every disease on the planet? Yeah, probably not that bright of an idea. Not to mention expensive. 

To reiterate my main point, this is a case of cultural apporpriation that actually causes detrimental effects, with Japanese people complaining that Americans and Europeans buy up their matcha, leaving them with not enough for their ceremonies where making matcha is well beyond consuming the latest silly superfood hype. Unlike wearing dreads or wearing traditional Chinese garb as an American, where no one but the Twatteria cared. Well, and Fridays for Future, a youth protest movement complaining about the hairdo of people. WhenI was young, that used to be the favorite past time of old people. 

Just found it funny. Where are the sh*tstorms and cancellations?

Technically, the US hasn't declared war since World War II, so we haven't really lost anything. These have all been Presidential actions, and unless Congress formally declares war you can't expect the full backing of the country or its economy. Hence the supposed lack of "victories". It has nothing to do with the name change.

I shudder to think what would happen if little Trump takes the US into another (non-internal) conflict.

Does South Korea know we lost the Korean war?

You can’t really lose a war if it’s still ongoing, can you?

Another round of protests in France. Starting to turn violent, as they usually do in France.
