Ah gee dang, you’re right. Thanks!

It’s a quote from a Star Wars show movie.
Yeah, but 35% of all statistics are made up.
I didn’t get much sleep, so the tone of my posts today has been fairly aggressive.
For the purposes of making myself entirely clear, because it seems like I’m being misinterpreted, I’ll tone down the typical internet rudeness-for-rudeness and plainly state my feelings about this directly. If you disagree with them at that point, that’s understandable, but right now you say that you believe that I believe things that I don’t believe, and my entire point in continuing to reply is that I want to make it clear what I’ve been saying from the beginning:
If the doctors had literally said “spicy is poison”, they would have been wrong and dumb. They didn’t. If any politician has said that “spicy is poison”, they’re wrong and dumb. If any news sites have said that “spicy is poison”, they’re dumb and wrong.
I don’t want to continue to send messages with the intention of clapping back or being an ass, and I’m genuinely happy to continue the discussion in a way that doesn’t make both of us into assholes going forward, if there are more points of my position you’d like me to clarify or would like to continue to talk about, but if things are gonna keep being weirdly insulting for no good reason, then Imma dip.
No, what I’m saying is that if you drink a gallon of vodka you’d have alcohol poisoning. If you drink a bathtub of water you’d have water poisoning, a real thing. If you eat a shit ton of concentrated capsaicin… You’d have…?
My take is that the people who were treated were treated for symptoms of poisoning, and that pretending they weren’t is a stupid, petty, and useless line to fixate on. They were exhibiting symptoms of poisoning. They weren’t poisoned in the traditional sense that immediately comes to mind when you hear the word and imagine the action, but what happened to them was the same stuff that would happen to someone who was. We can all move on now.
The problem is that the ban is a fucking stupid idea as compared to better labelling and/or age controls.
Being an asshole is a bad look, but even worse when you’re a confidently incorrect one.
If that kilo of cheese were artificially somehow shrunk down to a single serving and marketed to cheese enthusiasts as “the cheesy challenge”… Maybe?
You would still have some kind of poisoning if you’re lactose intolerant, importantly.
I think my own point is that someone showing symptoms of poisoning in this context is valid, even if banning a super-spicy food is a heavy-handed reaction to what would probably be better solved with better labelling and in an extreme case age restriction.
To the doctor treating a patient, they don’t care about the legal definition. A poisoned patient is a poisoned patient.
Additionally, “causing symptoms of” a thing is a very different statement from “causing”. Covid causes symptoms of the flu, for example.
We all do, no worries. Thanks for clarifying!
You’re allowed to be pig-headedly wrong.

I hope that going back will reinvigorate Cyan. Firmament was… Unfortunately underwhelming. After the third time I got stuck on a puzzle because it broke and had to restart from the beginning, I was really struggling to keep going.
It’s a tethered jailbreak from what I can see, so this is more of a convenience thing. Basically untethered jailbreak for these TV owners.
It can be, sure. But when used in a limited manner where it makes sense it can be the more readable option. I’ve used it in a try/catch to retry the operation after changing a variable. One label (“reconnect”), one goto, totally easy to understand on a surface level.
I have fond opinions of Veggietales. From my recollection, it seems to be a genuine attempt at Christlike programming instead of Christian programming, if that makes sense.
The creator has a reasonable head and has some public opinions that I vehemently agree with. I’m not currently aware of any reason that Veggietales should be considered weird Christian propaganda, even if it is Christian propaganda.
To give context to my saying that, I grew up with friends that made me hide my harry potter book so that it wouldn’t get me banned from their house as a literal spawn of satan. Veggietales was absolutely the best programming they watched, hands down, from every aspect.
Seems reasonable enough. Dude’s allowed to have opinions I think are bad, and seems to get over his bad opinions in the face of much worse opinions, inasmuch as a direct statement from the person in question can show that.
“A”
I’ve seen people be coy about antisemitism, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone “*wink wink* know what I mean?” about gender regarding teslas. Wild.
As my father always said: you may be a funny person, but looks don’t count for everything.
