I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.

According to Google Trends, related searches like “how to delete all photos facebook,” “alternative to facebook,” “how to quit facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete instagram account without logging in” have become breakout searches, with popularity suddenly increasing by over 5,000% compared to previous periods.

So that is 51 times higher than usual? Am I mathing that correctly?

I wish stories like this wouldn’t use percentages this way, and reported hard actual numbers to compare against.

I think that was certainly true ten years ago. But now? I honestly don’t know what to make of Nintendo anymore. They have been so DMCA heavy against customers in recent years that I don’t trust them to do anything right. They feel customer hostile.

The fucking banks refused to let him take payments.

To be fair, it seems like Mexico should have never allowed this toxic dust to be brought into their country in the first place. It sounds like there is no safe way to extract zinc from this dust?

But if that’s the case, the US shouldn’t be allowed to sell it to other countries either.

I guess I can’t discuss Taylor Swift’s 1989 album while playing Rivals.

I agree, but if Trump putting kids in cages and kidnapping them from their families didn’t sway enough voters the first time around, this certainly won’t either.

California should be like: “We will not negotiate with terrorists.”

Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.

In time, I hope you come to reject the propaganda you just posted.

The green party doesn’t exist to screw you all over. It’s made up of real people who believe in the tenets of the party. The fact that the voting system is broken in 48 states and is “first past the post” is not the fault of the green party.

The green party exists to try and win, just like the two bigger parties. One could just as equally claim that the democratic party only exists to siphon off green party votes.

Or maybe they are? Maybe it’s difficult to get new people to organize and join and support a party that almost always gets ignored by the news media, or else is being demonized by the democratic establishment or democrat voters.

People will come into threads like this and complain about the Green party not doing anything for 3.5 years at a time but also refuse to join the green party or volunteer or anything.

I volunteer. I live in a state with ranked choice voting but left-of-center voters still overwhelmingly don’t vote for local green candidates. That’s on us Greens to do better, but again it’s difficult when there are so few people willing to get involved.

Jfc people are gross

19% of US adults admit to peeing in public pools. How many of those people also prepare our foods. How many of those people also don’t wash their hands because they don’t think it’s a big deal.

The more I think about food standards in the US, the more disgusted and frightened I become.

You may want to add a /s to the end before google AI picks it up and shows it to millions of people who won’t apply critical thinking to it.

I’m half kidding.

Honest answer? Grow your own food or buy produce from your local co-op. Don’t order food from amazon or any other sketchy online store. Seek out international products that come from the EU or a country that still has real food safety standards. Never eat at chain restaurants. Don’t eat at restaurants that have low business because they will most likely cut corners on food quality and proper cleaning. Wash your produce and pray that it contains a low level of PFAS.

We can also channel our rage into something productive, such as passing local and state laws on improving food safety standards, and limiting farmers from growing crops in PFAS-contaminated soils.

Food safety standards in the US are pretty awful. Lack of food safety is exactly the type of problem a government should exist to solve, yet the billionaires and the orange felon are happy to poison everyone as long as our deaths are slow enough to not interfere with their profits.

I think relocation (and getting people comfortable with their tax dollars going towards it) would work better if the US states weren’t so ideologically divided.

There is no way I want the average republican relocating to my state, let alone wanting to pay for such punishment.

Still, how much micro plastics are we not getting from plastic cups, bottles, door wrapping etc? Too much lol

Yeah, that’s the thing! It’s near impossible to quantify not only the number and size of plastic particles being released, but also from what sources and how impactful it is on our health over time. There are so many variables involved.

I like the idea of the guppy bags, but honestly we need strict government regulation around the world to make a real difference in stopping plastic and PFAS pollution/contamination.

Glass is by far superior but shipping it is more costly and results in more breakage.

All aluminum food and drink containers still have a plastic liner in them to avoid corrosion. Still way better than fully plastic containers for most uses though.
