It's asking god to bless the people ("us") and the food ("these thy gifts") that they're about to receive from his bounty via jesus
At least that's how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven't thought about it in years haha
I'm 43 and I know 5 of these songs; 3 of them are from the '60s, 1 from the '80s, 1 from the '90s.
They are kicking transwomen out of the military.
I've never been clubbing! Wish I had at least once or twice when I was young, but I was pretty serious in my early twenties. I guess I could still go if I wanted to, but I doubt I'd enjoy it now.
We should all use Einstein-Landauer units.
You should look for kitchen tested recipes.
Can we be insane hair bone pals?
C'est un travail mystifiant...
Finally! I hate driving anywhere anymore because everyone's on their phone. Not just local roads, but on the fucking turnpike for christsake!
I'm not sure how they'll enforce this though.
'90s style: crop top and a t-bar, with high top chucks and maybe one clip undone
Interesting, I learned it as "Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts"
It's sewage infrastructure from the 1800s that needs to be repaired - apparently the pipe cracked. I don't know why it hasn't been fixed yet, that's wild.
A sqube
Wait, what's their true purpose?
Post-its and a power rack
Oh you can fuck right off, Skeletor

This is a recent problem. Do we think those purported fat genes just evolved in society over the past eightyish years, and spread so widely that, per the 2017-2018 NHANES data, 73% of American adults are overweight (30.7%) or obese (42.4%)? On a population level it's clear this cannot be genetic. There's been a cultural shift that has caused this problem, often thought to be related to processed food, less time to cook, and for some underserved communities, food deserts.
Look at how dramatically obesity has risen since the '80s:
I think their point is that doctors don't want their patients to become entrapped by obesity into lifelong poor health, which also traps them as sources of revenue for corporations that profit from sickness and fat: pharma, companies that sell fad diet and/or exercise plans, etc. So if your doctor tells you to lose weight, it's probably coming from a good place, regardless of what else might be going on with your health.
(And just in anticipation of some replies I might get: yes, it's absolutely a real and shitty thing when doctors only see the fat and assume it's the cause of all the patient's problems. You deserve better healthcare than that. But also recognize that while the fat might not be the cause of a given problem, it might be exacerbating that problem.)
