Lol shut up I have two kids, a PhD and almost 20 years experience running a university research lab BEFORE my current job.

So? Did you study the effects of drinking fluoridated water?

Or do you just have faith in those who did?

but listening to the consensus of people who know more than you isn’t religion, it’s a heuristic for making better decisions.

It’s just another source of information. Treating that source as absolute truth without understanding it yourself is ignorant.

Are the experts ever wrong?

Smart enough not to treat science like a religion.

The thing is, copying experts does not mean you understand the subject.

Lots of people think that just because they cite someone with more credentials than them, then that person must be correct. That’s not how the real world works and you’ll understand it more as you get older.

If you just trust people based on their credentials, then you’re treating science like a religion and shouldn’t be taken seriously by rational people. You do this because it’s easier than understanding the science yourself.

This means you will be taken seriously by average people since rationality is on the decline.

There’s a combined Ukraine and Israel aid bill.

Wish combining bills like this wasn’t possible.

It’s sad because he’s doing this while the US withholds supplies.

Also, “I support genocide as long as I get something out of it” is not a good look for a nation that wants sympathy from the world.

He’s just looking out for what he cares about, like most scumbags.

Fuck everyone else, right? Lol.

That doesn’t make it okay and it never will.

Also, isn’t the US withholding support for Ukraine?

You shouldn’t trust me just because I said something, yes.

You should understand what’s being said yourself so it doesn’t matter who is saying it.

they don’t indoctrinate the youth.

Sorry, I’ve seen too much evidence to the contrary.

There are scumbags across all walks off life, and you’ll start to realize this as you get older.

War crimes don’t matter if nobody has the balls to prosecute people for them.

🥱

Not sure why Ukraine doesn’t just surrender.

Surely they can’t actually believe they can win at this point.

Then why does unfiltered tap water suck pretty much everywhere I go?

It legit tastes like they put dirt in it, even school fountains.

Yeah.

God forbid we do something expensive if it’s to improve people’s health…

To be fair, there’s still a ton of areas in the US with questionable drinking water.

I honestly wouldn’t criticize them if they chose to drink alcohol like in the old days to avoid diseases from unsanitary water.

I mean, just look at Flint :(

What are you talking about?

People get cavities all the time, and it’s because they don’t brush their damn teeth.

But also I think fewer and fewer people use the salt shaker because they eat so much processed food (which has salt that is not iodized).

This. I never add salt to my cooking because there’s already so much salt in everything.
