Being ignored and/or argued with about something that I have the credentials and experience to understand better than the person arguing with me.
Especially if all they do is regurgitate what chatGPT or their favorite political figure said instead of their own thoughts and opinions. Look dude, you're unarmed and I am giving you one chance to walk away before I violate the geneva conventions.
People are going to eat and drink things that arent the best for them. Thats the reality. And if theyre going to do that, it makes sense to minimize the harm in a practical way.
As for artificial sweeteners being harmful, testing them at levels hundreds, thousands of times what is actually used is not the way to do it. Give me a mechanism for harm to occur that makes sense and evidence of harm that reflects their actual use.
The reports of them causing cancer were based on studies of rats that were given the equivalent of 600+ servings of sweetener and had other issues such as how the autopsies of rats were conducted. They were basically guaranteed to find something. If you did the same study with table sugar or honey, those rats would have died of hyperglycemia long before reaching the equivalent number of servings.
My view is that I would prefer someone younger and with similar ideals as Bernie but in reality, we have a choice between Biden and a man that given the chance, would end liberal's right to vote forever.
I feel like people that bitch and complain about Biden do not at all understand the danger we are all in if Trump wins because the vote is split. Republicans do not have a conscience. They are more than happy to band together despite their disagreements if it means that they win. I just wonder why in the fuck anyone would risk that happening again given the decades of harm Trump caused in one term.
So am I happy about voting for Biden? No not really. It bothers the fuck out of me that Israel has the support it does. But the reality is that Trump and the modern republican party are about [] that close to reinacting the night of broken glass and Id rather that not happen.
If we cared at all about solving the problem, a lot more work would have been spent on developing hybrids/fuel cells, electric vehicles, electrolytic Hydrogen and renewable energy like solar.
We (chemists) can produce fossil fuels using renewable Hydrogen and a Carbon rich feedstock. Hell the nazis were doing it because of supply issues. Our excuse is that it is harder to do that than it is to drill for oil not that we cant do it.
We are limited by the amount of renewable energy which again, isnt being ramped up as fast as it could be and needs to be for lack of economic and political willpower.
I think they mean all the newer techno crap that cars have like touch screens and the like not power windows, AC and engine related stuff thats been around for decades. And I agree with that. I want a car that has the basics and yeet the touch screens and other garbage no one asked for but it seems theres not really any choice anymore.
Almost as bad as beetles
