I was gonna say, so it starts at 7 and runs backwards in time until 5?

Yep, soft plastic liner on the inside of the caps. The softer the plastic, the more shedding. Plastic bottles are a harder, firmer plastic (though if recycled, also more prone to shedding than new plastic).

In One Piece, it's very obviously the U S. for a couple of reasons:

1. The Navy men wear American-ish style uniforms

2. The Japanese have hosted U.S. military bases, mostly Navy, since WWII.

In addition to those two reasons, the United States Navy is the main mode of power projection for global empire today. Yes, that role used to belong to the British Navy, no disagreement there. Then U S. Took over that role from the British after WWII at about the same time that it established it's military presence in Japan.

Sounds like you haven't been training your feet to the max, for instance, you could be INTENTIONALLY kicking boulders

Y'all, I must apologize, I've been off line. But while I've been offline, I've been productive! I've built my own tables, shelves, boot racks, I've learned reiki, and been studying up on Jungian psychology, among other things. And that's just the time when I'm not building up a business!

Yes, there is a wine ingredient called Mega Purple

And it's more common than you’d think.

Once you know how to spot it, you’ll taste it everywhere.

And you’ll never look at cheap red wine the same way again. 🧵🍷

Mega Purple is a thick, sweet, inky extract made from a grape called Rubired.

Just a small dose adds deep color, smooth texture, and a candied finish to otherwise forgettable wine.

It’s grape-derived—but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

It started as a way to rescue weak vintages. But now it’s everywhere.

If you’re drinking wine from a box, or paying under $15 a bottle, especially for jammy reds—there’s a good chance Mega Purple is in the mix.

Think of it as a type of pancake style makeup for wine.

You won’t find it on the label. Wine doesn’t have to list ingredients.

But there are signs:

- Over-the-top purple color

- Sticky sweetness

- Flavors like grape jelly, vanilla extract, and artificial chocolate

Mega Purple is often used to mask poor fruit—like overcropped vines, underripe grapes, or wine rushed through fermentation.

And if it’s in there, it probably came with friends:

Velcorin, powdered tannins, added sugar, oak flavoring, enzymes, coloring agents.

At that point, it’s more of a science experiment than wine.

Wine made with better grapes and fewer tricks costs more.

That wine tells a story. Real terroir, real flavors, real art.

But more importantly, Low Intervention wine will probably leave you feeling a hell of a lot better the day after drinking it.

What's that worth?

Most people have no idea what’s actually in their wine.

I’ll be posting more about how to find bottles worth drinking and how to see past the veil the industry hides behind.

If this helped you, it'd help me if you liked or reNOSTed the first post or followed along!

Cheers!

I haven't gone out to find it to taste the megapurple on it's own, but I'm pretty sure I can already identify it (I've noticed similar flavor profiles as you describe in cheap wines before).

I don't have a lot of followers on Nostr, but I daresay it, I have the best followers!

The "women's rights" movement was a veiled effort to erode what it means to be a women, and this obscure healthy femininity. As it progressed towards androgyny, it also effectively eroded what it means to be a man, and thus obscured healthy masculinity.

Some decent heuristics out of this:

* Anyone who tells you that the way that you were born is wrong is seeking to warp your mind so that they can manipulate/control you.

* If you are sick and they aren't encouraging you toward independent health (not reliant on centralized medicine), they want to use your sickly state to manipulate/control you.

Some of these 'elites' are ignorant optimists who have bought into the vision, but the ones pulling the strings are straight up eugenicists which reflects not only their words, but strongly in their actions and directives.

I refuse to use the term 'el;ite' to refer to these people outside of scare quotes. "Elite" means people of God, in the context of those blessed by God. These people are of the devil.
