All fictional characters can do miracles?

My life would certainly be better if I wasn’t living through the uprising of a fascist regime.

Is this really a definition of liberalism or is it the definition of being liberal in a capitalist society?

From the first link:

One epidemiologic study looked at a population exposed to chloramine in its drinking water and used the disease risk as a baseline for comparing the risk in a population exposed to chlorine in its drinking water. These findings will be addressed only briefly as they are not directly relevant to this document.

Have you looked through the second link? It’s all about EPA methods. If I felt further discussion with you might be productive I might investigate some of the citations. I just think you’re accusing me of one thing and I’m saying something entirely different.

Don’t forget some studies on the benefits

Are you suggesting chlorine is actually good for you, not that it has antibacterial properties that makes the water safer for consumption?

I’ll skip the chlorine safety stuff because I asked for a study.

As far as the toxicity stuff I’m not concerned because you’re still talking about concentration (see. Dilution).

If you had any tact you would understand that I’m not trying to say chlorine is unsafe for human consumption I’m saying that the goal of science isn’t to determine every possible outcome of consuming it.

Anyway. You’ll just have disregard me because we aren’t communicating on the same level.

Again, you’re talking about a dilution. Is a glass of water with trace amount of chlorine, chlorine?

I’d gladly review any study, that you’re aware of, that states there are no longer term effects of drinking trace amounts of chlorine. That is, since it’s such a walk in the park to do.

Tech bros like musk who capture companies to gut them.

The dnc is a sunk cost.

You want a country where you can live free, you’re going to have to take it yourself.

Dont worry though, that will be some other generations problem. Most of us will just have to live through the enshitification of everything. Cherish these last days. You may never see any like them again. You might even wake up one day and think, the status quo was like being stuck at the top of a Farris wheel. Scary, and uncertain but the view was amazing.

How exactly would they deploy this if they’re losing money on chatgpt responding to users saying “thank you”?

Billionaires are taking control of any avenue for free speech. Get yourself ready to switch to torr. Won’t be long now until it’s the last place free of misinfo/disinfo campains.

There is nothing inaccurate about stating poison is poison. You’re arguing the poison will not have an effect. That does not mean anything about its chemical structure or toxic properties have changed.

There is a reason the LD50 is listed. It shows a what concentration will kill a species of animal, usually mice. This is not entire analogous to humans but we accept this is the only practice that is maybe acceptable.

We do not test on humans and there is no blind study to show there are no longterm effects of consuming trace amounts of chlorine in water.

Know any successful bands that are NAZIs? I can’t think of any.

If you mean everyone ever… ok

I appreciate you giving me your candid opinion. I find some of it fascinating, from the perspective that you’re not just subscribing to some brand of nihilism or whatever.

I do agree with some of it, from a lay persons perspective. I’m no philosopher and I’m certain someone might be much more qualified to tell you all about the origins of your belief. Like you talk about some simple coping strategies like, “good and bad being inconsequential when compared to an infinitely large universe.” These are just copes we develop to reconcile the brutal nature of the world.

Getting back to morality, i think, the more we are separated from the “bad thing” that happened the harder it is to apply a moral framework around it and even if you did, trying to teach that framework on a scale that will reach everyone is mostly impossible.

So end of the day we are still just picking battles, which is usually just harm reduction.

Poor people are excellent recyclers. Even in states that don’t offer bottle exchange they will collect for the aluminum/other alloys, alone.

Is this an anarchist perspective? Just trying to see what your broader view might be.

It’s hard to change people’s minds when they consume so much garbage and refuse to acknowledge other viewpoints.

Would be nice if there was some leadership on the dems side to, you know, address the volatility of nation right now. Schumer seriously sending angry letters. If riots break out I hold them equally responsible. They will literally sit on their hands until the country goes up in flames and come out afterwards saying we need unity.
