We can have different opinions. Imo climate change denialism is a cope. I also hedge my bets by also planning for retirement. But as it stands, we’re all on hospice.

Thus millennial thinks we will all die in 10 years or so from climate related disasters and none of us will live to retirement age as things currently stand.

They are public servants.

An amanita species being mixed in accidentally is actually exactly what I suspect happened to their bars. But there are many many other mushrooms that could do this too. Per their product page, there’s no amanita in these, either. Mushrooms also tend to absorb toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals, so they may be the right species but otherwise contaminated as well. Many options.

It’s not entirely clear what is in the chocolates or what could be causing the illnesses. The FDA said it was working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as America’s Poison Centers to “determine the cause of these illnesses and is considering the appropriate next steps.”

On its website, Diamond Shruumz says that its chocolate bars contain a “primo proprietary blend of nootropic and functional mushrooms.” The website also contains reports of laboratory analyses on their products, some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

My guess is that they accidentally grew/used the wrong type of mushroom. PCR tests on the bars will tell us for sure.

Second, really really shitty of the article to imply these bars have cannabis or psilocybin when they do not have either of these compounds according to the manufacturer’s website.

I’m confused - who are they giving the $700 to? Is it monthly? Why is someone charging them money for it?

I did try to open the article but it wouldn’t load on my phone

We must earn profit off our democracy, that’s capitalism

Yup. Have you ever watched old Civil Rights activists’s speeches or interviews? People like Madaline Murray O’Hair. The interviews were calm and seeking to understand. They were slower and less aggressive. Madeline Murray O’Hair was called “The Most Hated Woman in America,” and is responsible for many laws enforcing separation of church and state. And they were still able to conduct a better interview then.

Those old Civil Right’s interviews really showcase the regression we’ve had. It’s almost like since we had those few famous activists, we haven’t had many real ones since. Unless it’s a teen girl like Malala or Greta Thurnberg, who are cute and all, but like, where are all the adults, ya know?

Sex work can have an emotional element to it as well.

I am for sex work, I am against sex abuse.

Never said that. Strawman. 🥱

I didn’t provide a conclusion, I asked you a question - how do you pick the official, global sign for eating? What will it look like?

come to consensus based on commonality. When the majority agree on a sign, use it So then why even debate? If majority decides, why not just use Chinese sign language for everything?

If you can’t understand the colonization aspect, then please read the books/authors I listed previously. Having a majority decide language for others/everyone is pretty classic colonization. That’s part of why native Americans were forced to learn English (many of your arguments are very similar to why colonizers believed English should be established as a global lingua franca)

You are simply moving goalposts. My point is that I disagree with your idea of making sign language universal or formally making even a rudimentary universal sign language. I think that would be impossible if you understand language itself. I gave you resources so you could educate yourself about why.

Yes, the sign for eating would look different in China vs Ethiopia vs the US. So what sign are you going to have it be to imitate eating in your formal language? Do you see how this can perpetuate colonization?

I can tell you only speak one language, or maybe another Latin based language in addition to English. If you’d learned something like Mandarin, you’d understand how complex, regional, and historical language is. It’s based on layers and shifts constantly. Sometimes, that’s specifically because people don’t want to be understood by everyone.

I really recommend reading academic books about this topic if you are curious. My favorite is Neurolinguistics and Linguistic Aphasiology, by David Caplan. You may also enjoy Chomsky’s works because he talks about commonalities in language or universal language.

There’s no need to formally codify those hand gestures, because we innately already understand and make them. Making eating motions (which may look different depending on regional utensils) is pretty universal right? But it looks different in different places.

You misunderstand language itself, not just sign language, if you think a universal language is possible or even a good thing

I was permabanned from r/worldnews for saying we should give free meals to kids at schools here instead of wasting money blowing up other country’s kids.

What will we eat if we kill all the cows and chickens? That’s the majority of American’s protein sources. And there’s no way pigs aren’t getting infected as well. Oceans are already overfished. Majority of the country will not be able to convert easily to veganism and still get their nutrients.

including a hoodie that read “Treat People with Kindness.”

Heartbreaking

Imo, companies being concerned about class actions if everyone had access to Healthcare, is THE REASON we do not have Healthcare for all in this country. Imagine how many more Flint, MI, there are, but no one knows because none of them can afford to see a doctor.

Because the entire point was clearly to torture an intelligent being. Disturbing.
