Yes!! Thank you for getting it. I have no issues with labeling carcinogens but we really need to distinguish between agents that are harmful at the ppm and the ppb levels.
There’s an entire axis that differs by orders of magnitude that is being ignored and it’s incredibly detrimental to the whole system.
This list sucks because it lacks meaningful information and is just eventually going to be a list of every compound in the known universe.
Clearly not well, reading comprehension is important
That’s what I’m saying, putting nitrates next to hardcore carcinogens like asbestos makes the hardcore carcinogens look less harmful than they actually are.
They need to differentiate the levels of harm or else it’s just another warning that people will ignore because it’s on literally everything.
How can you not see how putting in the same category implies the same level of harm.
I hate these fuckin reddit brained Lemmy users who intentionally misread comments just to argue some adjacent point.
Whatever if you all want pointless warning labels go for it, just know you’re not doing anything useful.
I never said they weren’t in the same category. To act like implying the risks of nitrates are identical to asbestos is insane and just makes people ignore these warnings.
There is a need to differentiate the level of risk because if you don’t people are going to think the 10,000kg bomb is the same danger as a Glock when in reality they abso-fucking-lutely not.
It’s disingenuous, you’re right that context matters because displaying the two as if they’re the same strips the risk assessment of its context.
It’s pointless because California standards are so stringent that literally everything has a prop 65 warning on it.
It’s completely lost all value or meaning to end consumers.
Putting nitrates in the same category as fucking asbestos is literally insane.
It’s like putting a Glock and a 10,000kg bomb in the same category, it’s utterly disingenuous.
Oh hell yeah I’m making this but without the nuts for allergy reasons.
They’re starting to erase the supposed tenants of conservative values, worshipping Regan and small government.
The small government stuff was always bullshit but until now he’s been able/forced to hide behind Regan conservatives. Now he’s conflicting with their jesus and doing it in a very overt way.
I do think attacks like this are highly effective because it forces their cognitive dissonance into scrutiny and it’s another chip in the brainwashing.
Many can be swayed like this though anyone who’s made it their identity is too far gone because they won’t accept logical arguments.
Stored separately for left overs. I won’t stand for soggy rice
No, but now I’ve got fomo about this. What exactly am I missing out on here? What should I look up recipes for or order?
You really should learn more about drugs before you start throwing terminology around.
Weed doesn’t really fit the upper/downer dichotomy because cofactors like the various terpenes and cannabinoids other than THC.
It can have both stimulant and system depressant effects.
Unlike opium, marijuana usage has not been linked with overdose and isn’t anywhere near as addictive.
Thc has been implicated in exacerbating mental health issues like schizophrenia but it has not been linked with direct physical damage to our bodies. Besides smoking which obviously always carries a risk.
Regardless, your opium hyperbole is like comparing caffeine to meth amphetamine. It’s utterly ridiculous to anyone with any knowledge on the subject.
I feel like the belief that intelligence somehow grants immunity to propaganda has utterly devastated media literacy and subsequently our political landscape.
When people started taking memes and blogs as legitimate sources of information we were cooked.
They don’t take desperate people they take violent people.
If they’re desperate that’s more fuel for their racial hatred.
It depends on the situation and level of time investment.
If it’s someone you just met and immediately didn’t vibe with I think it’s fine, no time invested
If you’ve been on a date with them it’s kinda expected to turn them down. Time has been invested, if it’s a no don’t let them waste time.
If you run into them regularly it’s a bad idea regardless because leaving them on perpetual read with no resolution creates tension.
I mean the CS skin market tanked today so I still think I’m on to something.
It’s wild that trading skins for a video game had a market cap of 3 billion. It’s ridiculous that speculative trading has infected videogames.
Glad you’re on the same page now.

Says the guy who opened with how much shit he owns and how young he was when it was given to him.
You’re not impressing me with your bourgeoisie denialism. It’s genuinely sad that you think you’re the opposite of what you actually are. You’re lying to yourself and it’s incredibly obvious.
Journalism at large died a while ago, gaming journalism has been an absolute joke for over a decade.
I have no respect for 99% of modern journalists, they just push 1%er propaganda and post mugshots while jerking themselves off as being self appointed “guardians of democracy.”
There are some who are trying to do some good and they have my utmost respect but they’re needles in haystacks.
Exactly, just slapping a “warning cancer” label on literally everything does absolutely nothing to help me actually protect myself.
