  • There are indeed many forms of money laundering which are considered illegal in America, and it is absolutely illegal if someone is accepting funds derived from illicit activity or sanctioned entities (like Russia). The government and most financial institutions generally take the stance that there are very few good reasons to obscure the ultimate source of funds, and so tend to be very risk-averse with such activity.

    The trick is in confirming anything illicit is going on when there are potentially dozens of steps and borders in between the source and the recipient.

    Tbh attempting to replace sugar with “sugar alternatives” is part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that commercial goods are sold with a fuckton of super sugar (high fructose corn syrup et al.) added to them which is completely unnecessary. If you just try to get your sugar from natural sources and try to eat some fiber with it (whole fruit is perfect for this) you’re on the right track.

    The short version is simply: don’t drink your sweets



  • So true. I was watching this on a whim recently and noticed Ted is just an incomprehensibly annoying human being. This guy constantly ignores good advice because wHaT aBoUt TrUe LoVe and is constantly dragging his so-called friends into his shenanigans and inevitable failures. Also he’s a bad friend to pretty much all of the other central characters and will constantly turn them down or ignore their needs in his relentless pursuit to find a girlfriend. Even Barney, the supposed sex hound, frequently makes time for his friends and genuinely wants to see them have a good time. Not Ted. Ted is a selfish bastard who thinks one “grand gesture” can make up for any transgression, so he let’s minor transgressions build until he has to make a grand gesture to smooth things over. That guy is toxic.
