I envision a world in which biscuit society is being overrun by the evangelist empire of the cookies.

Whilst the same in nature, these food items are intrinsically different in their forms and shapes, and although the line between a cookie and a biscuit may be blurry, the difference will always be obvious. No matter the similarities in language and culture, the biscuits will forever be seen as inferior to the cookies, useful only for slave labour in factories to produce more cookies and thus more oppressors.

In this world I envision political intrigue galore with endless parties and factions vying for their own agenda for their idea of what the biscuits lands should become. It is in this world where I see families torn apart by political differences and forced to war with one another as their favored brands come to blows. It is in this world of cookie oppression where I see the biscuits assimilated into the imperialist cookie culture and forced to abandon their identities to prosper under tyranny.

This world is of my creation, my mind, and my thought. Me, a man who sees little use in separating a cookie from a biscuit, as no matter the differences, both will be devoured and I shall be the devourer.

Ministry of Defense Statement:

As you may have observed, around 7 hours ago a raid occurred in The Region That Has No Big Banks, leading to Yodle currently holding the position of the region's WA Delegate.

Our ongoing investigations indicate that this incident was conducted by the Lone Wolves United raiding organisation. This was in response to New United Common-Lands, the WA delegate approving the proposed Countering Agroterrorism bill. All acts required the approvals of 5% of delegates before a vote can be held in the General Assembly. During this raid a group of nine nations, manipulated the delegate status within the region, resulting in the substitution of Yodle as the delegate. This maneuver was an attempt to retract my endorsement of the Countering Agroterrorism proposal, effectively disrupting the voting process through a tactic known as quorum raiding. However this bill still remains in the pipeline for a vote in the General Assembly, so overall the raiders were unsuccessful.

It's worth noting, our region won’t be pressured into capitulation by those attempting to intimidate and obstruct the passage of bills. As a sovereign region, we retain the right to make our own decisions without fearing a childish repercussion (i.e a raid), simply because others hold differing viewpoints. In response to this event, we have banned all nine nations involved in the raid, we are enhancing security measures at WA update times until the proposed act successfully proceeds to a vote and the Ministry of Defense will review other potential security options in the coming days.

As it stands, I have once again assumed the majority of regional endorsements, and if all things remain equal, I should retain the position of WA delegate later today. At this point, I shall re-approve the act as mentioned above.

Kind regards

As an ex baseball player

You can take several times the daily recommended amount of ibuprofen and be completely fine

do with this info what u please

on another completely unrelated note, a lot of pitchers will refer to ibuprofen as "arm candy" and ive seen a friend of mine wake up with a sore arm before a game and correct it by taking 1g of ibuprofen with his breakfast

He pitched 6 innings (dominantly might I add) and well over a hundred pitches that day

looking at the advil on my desk however, it does appear that technically 1g does actually fall short of the 1200 mg max the directions say in a 24 span
