  • Is there any way to actually see those articles? All that's given is an abstract, and the articles don't appear to be linked.

  • For sure, and they should def stop if there were any serious long-term affects, like any medical trial.

  • What's really strange to me, is that for all the expertise around dentistry, AFAIK there has never been an actual evidence-based study for how long and how often you should brush and floss.

    Its literally the most important piece of dental advice they could study, and no research has been done. How much plaque builds up on average when only brushing once per week, once per month? It makes me question the whole discipline and wonder if they don't just say "brush 10 times a day" in order to sell more dental products.

    Maybe they'd discover that actually you only need to brush twice a week, and floss twice a week. Maybe it ends up being flossing every day, and brushing once a month... who knows.

  • We believe in you ❤ . If Barbie loses anything its up for, the Oscars will have lost all credibility.

  • His Stalin book is also very good. There's audiobooks of both those on youtube and torrents also.

  • I recently finished reading Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history, and it really illuminates a lot of the core hypocrisies of liberalism. Basically every single one of their ideas doesn't apply to those considered outside the "community of the free", and they explicitly state as much.

    So the primary liberal philosphers (Locke, de Tocqueville, Bentham, Franklin, Jefferson) and the main liberal countries (england, netherlands, US), believed variously in mass-imprisonment for the poor (the panopticon), suppression of speech, imperialism, colonization, enslavement.

    If I were to boil it down, Losurdo thinks that rather than "individualism" and the freedom of individuals being the primary tenet of liberalism, its rather the master/slave or owner/servile distinction that is the core tenet.

  • Current timeline plot twist: the fact that this episode was written, is what's keeping the Vulcans from admitting us right now.

  • I'm not owned! I'm not owned!

  • Yeah pretty much. Even some people selling themselves as leftists substitute anti-semitism and "jews control everything" for a class analysis, because anti-communism is so deeply ingrained. One random example I was reading about recently: Father Coughlin.

    Lenin's speech on anti-semitism is always relevant.

  • A used samsung, or Xiaomi pad. Xiaomi pad if you want battery life especially.

  • God damn this man should be in prison just like Jeanine Áñez.

  • Rules-based-order is such a patronizing and paternalistic phrase for the US to come up with. The age of colonizer countries making rules is over.

  • I wish. I've never lived in a more hellish capitalist dystopia than california tho. Its close to snow crash at this point.

  • You wouldn't be yelling CONTEXT if this were a quote from a white supremacist like David Duke 30 years ago, whose views also haven't changed. Admit it to yourself.

  • Below I straight up asked you what matters more, Palestinian lives, or what Joe Biden has to say about them. Like a typical Settler, you dodged it. 🤓

  • Did the reason he supports Israel change? What makes you think that?

  • The fact that Biden wouldn't say the quiet part out loud today, just shows the opportunism of the democratic party.

    In 2016 for example, Obama dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, ~3 bombs per hour. Which is more important, the people killed, or Obama's statements?
