Ngl I’d fuck with this

Wouldn’t 50% of them die at the same time as the creatures that they live inside? Like unexisting 50% of humans would in fact unexist 50% of the bacteria in the humans who went poof.

How does this argument make sense?

I used to be kind of low level anti-pharmaceuticals. Nothing too dramatic (never antivax), but definitely quietly on the side of other forms of interventions of any kind being preferable over drugs.

I still acknowledge that in many instances other interventions can be better, but in a lot of cases a pharmaceutical intervention is the quickest, most effective and safest way for people to deal with whatever health or mental health conditions they have. And also lots of drugs are perfectly safe over the long term.

I think I was raised with a lot of ideas around purity, but when I came out as trans is when that started to change in a big way.

I would assume that it operates in much the same way that other forms of addiction do.

Mental illness, personality disorders, insecure attachments, trauma, social isolation and specific genetic factors are the usual suspects as far as predicting addiction go. I don’t suspect that social media addiction is much different.

Yes, and that is clearly the reason he purchased the platform.

Possible translation: “Let the wealthiest among us consolidate even more wealth while we wreck shit for the rest of you. We’d like to have complete control over you rubes while shit gets worse.”

ETA: This is exactly the same rhetoric that oil and gas companies (and the politicians who’ve effectively been bought out by them) have used to justify further expansion well after knowing the danger that this poses.

It’s a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn’t make sense.

And, y’know, it’s just fully a scam. It’s mostly successful because he’s famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.

The whole idea of astrology is that your date of birth determines who you are as a person. If two people share a birth date, it would make sense that those people are very similar if the assumptions of astrology are true.

These two people share a birth date and not much else. They are extremely different people, because the assumptions are not true.

I really resent the framing of organized bigotry as “activism.”

Is this just him saying he wants to reinstate DADT, but with extra steps?

The US military has specifically benefited from diversity and inclusivity programs in recent years. The actual size of the US military force is comparatively smaller than in the past, and being more inclusive has benefited the institution in the concrete way of just having a larger number of potential enlistees to pull from.

I’m all for reducing the size of the US military, but to be clear that’s the only effect this will have.

Bug bounties refer to specific programs that companies put in place to essentially reward white hat hackers for doing freelance offensive security audits.

I get what you’re trying to say, but you’re specifically referring to black hat hackers. Referencing bug bounties is muddying your meaning.

Influencers. And more broadly, almost anything to do with marketing.

People need to get the fuck off twitter.

I’m really holding out for Ladybird.

I’m personally a fan of “it’s not rocket appliances”

It’s often called an eggcorn, and here’s a really good video that touches on it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JTslqcXsFd4&pp=ygUMRWdnY29ybiBlcmlr

The weirdest one I used to hear often was “for all intensive purposes,” like wtf is an intensive purpose?

Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?
