As you well know, I’m specifically calling out your comment about it first being used to test if it made the working class more docile. You’re too proud and stubborn to admit you’re wrong. Or you’re just a total idiot. I’m starting to think it’s probably the latter 😂

You already posted that link, and I already told you it doesn’t support your argument. I’m not interested in your view at all, I am just here to point out your double standard. Happy to keep doing so.

My only point is to let you know that you’re being disingenuous. You made a claim without evidence and then literally said “You have anything says that ingesting or actually helps?” to the person who rebutted you.

That’s exactly my fucking point.

Are you so singularly interested in proving you are right that you don’t bother to read or try to genuinely comprehend what other people write when they are calling you out for your bad behaviour?

The source you posted doesn’t mention anything to support your statement about fluoride originally being used to test if it could keep the working class docile. The fact remains that you are asking others to source themselves despite being unwilling, unable, or disinterested in doing so yourself.

Still I am glad you’re voting for Harris 🙂

Casually states without evidence that fluoride was only introduced to keep people docile, then demands citations on rebuttals. Looks like we got ourselves a full blown case of the MAGA.

Yeah but these guys are above the law, so it won’t matter.

Still, the closeness of the race bears repeating what has become something of a mantra here at 538 recently: A close race in the polls does not necessarily mean the outcome will be close. All seven swing states are still within a normal polling error of going to the candidate who is currently “losing”in each. While the polls have identified a close race, our model shows what you should expect if those polls are off.

Margin-of-error polling cannot tell us anything other than that it is too close to call. These headlines are just capitalising on the attention ahead of the actual election.

Caves of Qud is a VIBE

People everywhere googling whether consuming bronzer + saturated fat leads to E. coli

Also, what’s the alternative being promoted? If responding to, debunking, and rebuking the lies of Trump/Vance is “pointing fingers” and adding to negative discourse, then are they suggesting to just shut up about it and let the lies go unchecked? How does that serve anyone’s interest?

Feels like normative bias and the naive belief that Trump can’t cause any real damage and everything will be fine in the end.

Curse words themselves don’t reduce the impact of a sentence on their own. Context is important.

I’ll try ask this in a different way: can you think of a time when a curse word seemed to fit the context of the point being made, or enhanced the impact, or felt powerful or eloquent? Can you remember and share the context of it?

Are you saying there’s never a time where a curse word is appropriate, mr_no_swearing?

You’re talking about a different issue. It just happens to feature a lot of cursing. But cursing itself does not make a remark less clever.

I agree that cursing is often used as a replacement for “um”. But you ever really appreciate someone who knows how and when to curse, with intention and as an infliction? It’s a joy to behold.

That’s some cringy shit.

Why on Earth would you say that, unless you think your opinion is important and valid and worthy of being heard? Yet you out here arguing other people’s opinions aren’t. Wow, great mind. Cry about strawmen a bit more.

She’s not allowed to or qualified to have an opinion according to you?

She doesn’t decide who they vote for.

The 60hz screen is ridiculous. They need to make the phone WAY cheaper and acknowledge it’s mid-tier. But Apple want it both ways - a premium brand charging premium prices and then shovelling bottom-end specs to funnel you to the even-more-expensive models.

I hate the stupidly low base storage, but personally am not impacted due to my usage patterns and having cheap cloud storage so I’m not as passionate with my disdain!
