    You can be anti-genocide and still have enough of a working brain left to recognize singling out one political party at a time on the genocide in Gaza is a disingenuous argument, cause they both suck, and that specifically targetting the Dems ignores the part that Trump would happily let his good friend Bibi turn Gaza into glass.

    It’s a dumb pro-GOP propaganda meme, and people that think shit memes like this have value are dangerous because they encourage voter apathy.














  • If the stupid motherfucker brushes his teeth twice daily, he’s already introducing loads more fluoride to his body than any of the trace amounts they add into the public water system, which is still standards of deviation less than anything that would introduce fluorosis of childrens’ teeth (since that’s not possible for adults with developed teeth), let alone get to a level of toxicity for an adult.

    Now, if he regularly consumes full tubes of toothpaste as a health supplement, then maybe that’s a reason to be concerned about fluoride.


  • Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.

    I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.

    I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.

    Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.

    What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.
