  • The best example I can think of to represent what the article is taking about is Doritos. I like to think of myself as someone with a decent amount of self-control. But if I ever see a bag of Doritos I can crush a whole value pack in two sittings. That stuff is engineered to be as addictive as possible and it shows. The only reason why I’m not a walking blimp is that I dont buy any because I know what happens when that stuff is in my house.

    If only they engineered something that was both addictive and healthy for a change. But I guess there isn’t much incentive to sacrifice maximum addictiveness for health.




  • That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn’t even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a “discourse”.

    Seriously, you post one opinion that isn’t necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the “bad guy” and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can’t be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.
