    social medias have, or soon to be had, western values because they were created in the west. if african and middle eastern countries launch social medias, then they would be homophobic. so your real question should be: why aren’t african and middle eastern countries launching social medias?

    to which the answer is A) they know they’re not going to compete with already established social medias (remember when google tried to make google+ to compete with facebook?); and B) who cares? if you want homophobic echo chambers, there are places for it, but no one here is going to help you in your search

    true, grandma would be absolutely horrified to hear anyone ate just one meal yesterday, on purpose, and plans to do it every day this week. it’s almost blasphemy

    but also the corporations selling everyone quick easy cheap (and disgustingly unhealthy) food-like substances at the drive thru and breakfast aisle certainly don’t want anyone skipping any meals either. in fact they want you to be eating all day every day

    the difference is grandma doesn’t want anyone to feel like they felt in the depression, not knowing when they’ll eat again, and corporations just want your money

    most people in the states actually think they’re going to die immediately if they skip a meal, let alone two.

    the “never don’t eat, for any reason, ever–or you will DIE” mindset is one of the things we’re most force-fed from birth onwards.

    it’s becase if you skip a meal, that’s money that wasn’t spent. if everyone skipped a meal, that’s a lot of money that wasn’t spent. we can’t have that in capitalism. therefore, eat abundantly and often. it doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s something you bought
