Caffeine is toxic at around 10 grams, which is 80-100 cups of coffee. I’d you’re defining “toxin” as triggering adverse effects at any dosage, then you need to include water, oxygen, and every other substance in existence.
Alcohol is a biological toxin at any dosage. I find that people who argue this point aren’t doing it from an academic standpoint but to justify their own behavior.
Please demonstrate the relevancy of your comment by citing medicinal uses of ingesting the alcohol in alcoholic beverages.
Alcohol is a toxin.
Ignoring your source of, “trust me bro,” a huge number of actual Americans in America think things are normal. How does that relate to interest rates?
Reply with a pic of your face or you’re a coward and your comments mean nothing.
Jesus Christ this thread is full of people who don’t realize they’re the judging hipster in the post.
Ubuntu isn’t the entry level distro that you move on from once you’ve gotten your feet wet, and your not very subtle pats on your own backs for using something different aren’t earned.
Does it do everything the user needs from it? If so, don’t tell them that they need to “graduate” to a “better” flavor.
Or Ubuntu could perform every task they need it to and never switch to anything else.
Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.
True
Hopefully she’s given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.
What?

Not everyone of course but there’s way too many people over there who will justify anything the Chinese government does or just ignore criticism by saying, “what about what the US does?!!?!”
How they cannot understand that the US and China are both dystopian hellscapes is embarrassing.
That’s 86 F for all you freedom lovers, or the front seat temperature of a Ford F150 with 312 fresh Big Macs in the extended cab.
On the contrary, if another pandemic killed a bunch of people, many of their homes would be bought up by the same hungry corporations that created and perpetuate the housing crisis.
Thank you for the explanation. It’s a term I’ve only seen recently and I’ve waited a little while to see if I could figure it out by context but that hadn’t happened yet.
Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and therefore “more dangerous and prone to abuse” than fucking prescreption meth. I’m not going to put much weight into drug classifications written largely by companies that stand to profit from their own and their competition’s standing.
What is a gift link?
I’ve blocked exactly one person on Lemmy and it’s Yothgos or Yogthos or whatever the fuck their name is. They’re either a propagandist in China or just a very sad person who posts prolifically about how amazing China is, dismissing any criticism against it. It’s weird, sad, and annoying seeing them pop up in any thread about China. I assume they have or will pop in this thread but I don’t know as they’re blocked.
Everyone knows what the trolley problem is about. I think it’s you who’s missing the point. Instead of blindly accepting the unacceptable solutions that are offered, come up with your own, better solution.
He undoubtedly has more information about what’s going on than most people who aren’t there but he also has different motives. Where you or I might view genocide as unacceptable under any circumstances, he’s viewing it through a lens of constantly needing to maintain and grow American power and resources. He believes that the US relationship with Israel furthers that goal so Israel performing genocide gets a pass. He rationalizes it by believing that whatever is (capitalism’s definition of) good for America is good for all Americans.
Multiple things are true at the same time. He’s better for humanity than his alternative, he’s not a reality show fuckwit, but doing his job is not a positive as it almost entirely entails keeping everyone firmly under the boot of capitalism. He’s made improvements within the totally broken system and also done nothing to change the totally broken system.
I am in no way glad that he’s our president but I’m glad it’s him over the orange monster.
There is demand for first class seating from nearly 100% of fliers. They’re just not willing to pay what AA is charging. This isn’t a supply and demand decision. Econ 101 says that means AA should reduce the price, but capitalism in practice says the constant desire for more profit and the monopoly that most industries have been allowed to grow and maintain means never lower the price and find a new way to fuck the plebs who don’t even own a single yacht.
There’s unsubstantiated and nonsensical assumptions in your comment starting with assuming that anyone who doesn’t ingest alcohol does it to avoid exacerbating current health conditions, leading to those that drink moderately being healthier than those who don’t drink. That’s absurd.
I’ll make an assumption of my own. A significant portion of your identify and social life is in “moderate” drinking and you’re very keen to justify that as “healthy.”
