Whoops, already posted.

Stating your opinion that you disagree is not the same as debunking. If this has been debunked so frequently, link to the debunking. Repeating a wrong opinion over and over doesn't make it true.

It's shocking people are expressing this kind of naivety with the benefit of XMPP's history.

It's an instance of Invidious, which does not use ActivityPub. Invidious is software you can host to portal to YouTube while preventing most of google's ability to track and advertise.

Sorry, my mistake. It feels like the recent flare up was more recent.

Reason #1405492 why Trump is a fascist.

Big ups for Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarians. Great book.

Oh, wow -- thanks. I hadn't realized Signal had changed their server code status, my bad.

Linking to a table of 'reasons given' in a paper covering the debate over fluoride as support for your ideas is the gish gallop-style abuse of science. You need to do better.

[citation needed]

I'm a poor person, and I'm certain fluoridated water has saved me thousands in dental bills over my lifetime. This is not some sinister corporate conspiracy to harm the poor.

I'm getting seriously tired of debunking fluoride misinformation. If you're not going to link to peer-reviewed science supporting your claims, you should stop posting.

The server isn't open-source, but neither is Signal's similar to Signal's server in the past, but they claim to have a roadmap to change that.

The French government recently promoted Olvid over Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp to all employees.

During the last thirty years, there has been an attempt to find a possible association between the use of mouthwash with alcohol and its relationship with oral cancer. However, epidemiologically, there has been no conclusive evidence. Few epidemiological studies are found in the literature and they have contradictory results.

-- Alcohol-based mouthwash as a risk factor of oral cancer: A systematic review

Oral application of ethanol is correlated with cancer, but statistically significant results are associated with heavy alcohol consumption, re-enforcing my point that dosage determines effect. If you already start the day with a whiskey breakfast, mouthwash isn't doing you any favors health-wise.

Because it's an example of good government, like cities spending money on public transportation. Sure, auto makers and dentists would benefit if they spent it on other things, but the health outcomes for treated water are worth +100x the amount paid for fluoridation.

You don't need to drink it to have an effect. Ethanol is absorbed through the roof of your mouth.

The point I'm making is that dosage determines effect, and not all poison bio-accumulates in harmful ways. Lead does accumulate and no level of exposure is safe, but fluoride and ethanol are metabolized and harmless in small amounts, even in chronic exposure conditions like drinking water from non-naturally fluoridated sources.

There are natural sources of water that are geologically fluoridated and are toxic, but if it is being added intentionally under regulated conditions, then it is not toxic. Therefore, fluoride is poison but publicly fluoridated drinking water is not poisonous.

Also requires 100x thicker walls for the same integrity as plastic, meaning the same volume container weighs much more and requires more fossil fuel to transport. Glass makes sense for reusable containers in local economies, but in the case of global distribution, glass puts much more CO2 in the atmosphere than plastic.

Ethanol is literal poison that everyone knew about. We still know ethanol and fluoride are poison, but we knew it too. /Hedberg>

To be consistent, we better stop drinking beer and using mouthwash!

Also, WCNSF?

The original link used another Invidious instance. Yewtu.be is also invidious, hosted in the United States. I think they're both running the same server version.

I think it's great that you're such a big fan of Amy Schumer that you've endorsed her terrible take on this. I can't say I'm that big a fan, but I love some of her comedy. Her realistic military game sketch is a great bit.
