It's crazy they haven't banned them. 3M's forever chemicals are in every living thing on the planet, literally. Even if you never went near one of their factories or anything they produced, it's in you.

At first they knew it got into the blood of all living things. Now we have tests proving links to cancer, immunodeficiencies, obesity, and other health effects, but still no ban. Babies are born with forever chemicals in them - in fact babies drastically reduce the traces of the chemicals in their mothers because they absorb it during gestation. Farms have tested their horses and live stock, every. living. thing. Crazy.

It's kind of her thing

India’s Modi elected as leader of coalition and set to form new government ( apnews.com )

NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday was formally elected leader of the National Democratic Alliance coalition, which won the most seats in the national election after his political party failed to win a majority on its own....

Very compelling

The oil and gas industry has been lying about global warming for decades — accountability is long overdue - Canadian Manufacturing ( www.canadianmanufacturing.com )

For decades, effective actions have lagged behind the needs of the moment. The 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report suggested that at least part of the reason for this inaction has been “due to misinformation about climate science that has sowed uncertainty.”...

Kind of like how 3M covered up that their forever chemicals have found their way into every living thing on the planet. You, me, your kids and loved ones, your pets...everything...has their forever chemicals. They bind to proteins in our blood causing a wide range of ailments (Cancer, immunodeficiency, obesity, and more).

And they knew the whole time. Continued to do it all for the greed.

So, yeah, it doesn't surprise me that oil companies will destroy the planet in a blind greed, a lust, for profits.

Maybe - but "memes" like this don't have the remix portion. It doesn't even really have the copy portion, because this is more like a repost - the OP didn't copy this tweet to make a similar but different point, they're just sharing a tweet on this Lemmy community. So by this definition, it's not really a meme.

If this were a meme, I'd be able to take it, change some key words while maintaining the general cadence, and a similar outcome with an alternate context. You can't really do that with this screenshot of a tweet.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. I guess I just resonate more with different meme styles then OP.

Similar for me - 1Blocker and pi-hole at home. Then I also VPN to my home when outside to continue the pi-hole filter.

I also use iCloud relay with non-precise location.

I have no issue with security devices requiring some sort of approval (which should be made available to self service), but devices like the screen, camera, battery, buttons, memory/storage, ports, speakers, etc, should be allowed whether or not they are factory.

The House GOP just gave Biden’s campaign a huge gift: Roughly 80 percent of House Republicans just lined up behind a plan to cut Social Security and ban all abortions ( www.vox.com )

Donald Trump would be on track to win a historic landslide in November — if so many US voters didn’t find him personally repugnant....

I was basically going to say the same thing, they'll vote anyway, party over policy. It doesn't matter what they propose. As long as Democrats disagree with it, their constituents will vote for it, standard team-driven advertising.

Most voters don't care about politics at all, we just want what everyone else wants - a chance at opportunity, some form of health care and social security, you know, the good life. We can all pretty much agree on that and it's really not that interesting a topic. So, politicians turn politics into a sports game because that's what people care about and engage with, sports and competition, our old friend, Ego.

Follow your heart, not your ego.

Both forests and their koala populations were hit hard by the 2019-20 bushfires.

Not sure I'd be able to sleep all that well logging those trees after the forest fires. Looking at those pictures of fire fighters and volunteer rescuers giving water to burned and injured koalas was heart breaking.

complications with circumcision happen more often than instances of it being beneficial

That's just not true, my dude.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that "the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks and that the procedure’s benefits justify access to this procedure for families who choose it. Specific benefits identified included prevention of urinary tract infections, penile cancer, and transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, including HIV."

I'm all for choice on this topic. But they shouldn't even call it female circumcision, as there's no medical benefit to such a procedure, and such practice should only be referred to as female genital mutilation (or cutting).

Cultural and ascetic opinions aside, male circumcision is objectively medically beneficial.

    I mean, he literally said blood bath for the country. Not really any other way to take that. For his supporters and fearful on-the-fencers they can think up all sorts of literal blood bath scenarios and many figurative interpretations. The Daily Beast is no high bar outlet but he did say what he said.

    Rudy Giuliani Should Be Forced To Sell Florida Condo To Pay Off Debts, Creditors Say ( www.forbes.com )

    The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors filed a motion in bankruptcy court on Friday to compel Rudy Giuliani to sell his $3.5 million Florida condo to pay off part of his debts, which became significantly larger after the former New York City mayor was ordered to pay more than $148 million to two election workers he...
