<div class="bbWrapper">Great post from a Farming page on Facebook:<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Food labeling is confusing. But do not be deceived!<br /> When orange juice says it&#039;s non-GMO, please recognize that all oranges are non-GMO. The only potential GMO products in the USA are papaya, corn, alfalfa, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, squash, canola, sugar beets, and apples.<br /> When organic milk is labeled antibiotic free, remember that all dairy products, including milk, are always antibiotic free. Same applies to meat.<br /> Those bananas advertised as cholesterol free? That&#039;s because all bananas are cholesterol free.<br /> When a jar of peanuts says it is made in a plant that processes peanuts just use your common sense and roll your eyes.<br /> When a bag of apples says it is gluten free, remember that gluten comes from wheat.<br /> When you see a Facebook post that talks about hormones in beef, please understand that an 8oz serving of beef has 2-3 nanograms of estrogen, an 8 oz serving of white bread has 136,080 nanograms of estrogen, and 8 ounces of soy flour has 342,468,000 nanograms of estrogen. All living things produce estrogen, it&#039;s just science.<br /> When that carton of eggs says that they came from vegetarian fed chickens, don&#039;t forget that chickens are naturally omnivores.<br /> So yes, eat healthy, but don&#039;t be swayed by deceptive advertising. Be informed.<br /> No farms, no food. Know your farmers, know your food.&quot;</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">A little bit late posting this but I was pumped to watch the Monaco F1 last weekend but only lasted about five minutes. Before the race even started there was endless political “woke” rubbish and then some thing where they all took a knee before the race.<br /> <br /> I hardly watch sports anyway but that’s the end of that for me for another few years. Bringing politics into sports just ruins everything - it takes away from the pride of competing and the focus on winning and sportsmanship. It’s lame AF.<br /> <br /> Same with movies - 90% of anything made in the last ten years has some kinda message that is slapped on to the storyline to serve some agenda. I used to love watching movies and now I regularly only make it 25-50% in.<br /> <br /> Thinking ahead I’m pretty sure I’ll be homeschooling my kids and keeping them well away from popular western media/movies/tv. It’s hard to see any benefit at all and I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse in the near future.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">This is random but I guess that&#039;s what the thread is for lol.<br /> <br /> My Spanish teacher told me today than in Spain the new maximum speed limit in urban areas is now 30 km/h. That&#039;s 18 miles per hour throughout approximately 70-80% of streets of every single city, town, and any other urban area. The only exception in urban areas are four-lane roads where you can drive 50 km/h (31 mph) but these are relatively rare and even less common in smaller cities (and in other countries, the limit on these roads is at least 70 km/h).<br /> <br /> 30 km/h is so painfully slow you could probably reach similar speed on en electric scooter* lol. It&#039;s also just slightly above the limit for school zones which is usually 20 km/h (12 miles per hour).<br /> <br /> She told me that the government is selling it as a way to save lives and protect the environment (they use more poetic words, stuff like &quot;make cities more human and friendly&quot;) but in reality she thinks they just desperately need more cash from fines (100 euros for 31-50 km/h, 300 euros for 51 km/h, 400 euros for 61 km/h, etc.)<br /> <br /> Spain is slowly becoming the Australia of Europe with their obsession about safety, nanny state tendencies, and an overall more and more socialist government. What a shame as the country itself is great (just like Australia).<br /> <br /> *Edit:<br /> <br /> LOL she just told me that there are also new regulations for electric scooters. 25 km/h is maximum velocity. You get a 200 euro fine if you&#039;re wearing headphones or using a phone while riding it. You pay 100 euros if you&#039;re riding it with another person. You can&#039;t ride it on a sidewalk or in pedestrian zones. They can also test you for alcohol and drugs.<br /> <br /> Oh, and a helmet is obligatory. 200 euros if you don&#039;t have one.<br /> <br /> If I needed another example why it&#039;s becoming a nanny state.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">A small prediction on what will happen to commercially &quot;woke&quot; people:<br /> <br /> First they were saying:<br /> &quot;we&#039;ll believe whatever ads will tell&quot;<br /> <br /> Then they said:<br /> &quot;we hate companies, they only want us to buy!&quot;<br /> <br /> Then they&#039;ll say ( prediction&#039;s here ):<br /> <br /> &quot;yes, we know you only want us to buy, in fact we like to buy, <br /> basically do whatever you want but bring us products and services.<br /> We&#039;ll even buy in bulk. We promise!&quot;</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Sales are really picking up. Another biz is dropshipping my product and had 5 sales last night.<br /> Absolutely fantastic, the problem is I can&#039;t keep up with shipping!<br /> <br /> Also, their shipping is only $10 through Shopify for my product but when I ship it, it&#039;s usually over $20?!?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Anyone heard of Poparazzi? It&#039;s the new hype.<br /> <br /> <br /> Instead of taking pictures of yourself, you take pics of your friends and have them take pics of you. <br /> <br /> Then you post yours, and they post them.</div>
