Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
  • Did you have a point relevant to UPF? The fact that my post above had maybe 9 upvotes and 12 downvotes does show that some folks found it helpful. In the early days of the publicly-available internet, folks tried to help each other. Now the world is on the edge of WWIII and folks are beating folks down where they think they can. I kinda miss the old internet. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
  • Hilarious? Folks don't usually downvote things that make them laugh. It was my belief that putting a link up as a follow up to his question was helpful.

    The Supreme Court rejects a nationwide opioid settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma
  • I was all ready for outrage, but I think maybe they got this one right. Equality under the law should mean that the top of a pyramid is treated the same as the bottom.

    Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • China seems to be succeeding in EV vehicles, not just cars, airplanes too. I'm sorta pining for the days when we were talking about a North America Union. These days its all about protectionism and wars. :(

    Republicans running for governor are some of the most extremist candidates in the country. Here they are
  • Regardless of how you may feel about LGBT folks, I find the idea of witholding medical care to transgender people curious in light of the fact the U.S. still does not have single-payer healthcare or Medicare for All. There does appear an element of scapegoatism in these candidates within a larger pattern of rationing of healthcare to everyone who is not wealthy.

    Analysis: The fertility crisis is here and it will permanently alter the economy | CNN Business
  • There are more people in the world than ever before and we have folks writing news stories telling us there's a crisis building and that we need to have more kids?

    They're farming us like ranch animals.

    Gender non-conforming family called "Satanic" after being outed by school
  • I note the article doesn't name the school. My thought process that led to this was on the first reading I noted it said it was a charter school. Charter schools were sold by our legislatures as being hybrid public-private schools that lacked religion.

    I think this charter school is crossing some lines that were promised wouldn't be crossed when charter schools were approved by legislatures. Those kids need to find a more accepting environment, they're currently being harmed.

    Gender non-conforming family called "Satanic" after being outed by school
  • Perhaps Satan needs to be destigmatized? Perhaps later this year for the holiday season I'll send Satan-inspired cards. Right now it's just a thought and not a promise. Maybe the Satanic Temple should get into the greeting card biz?

    In the mean time, the parents should pull their kids right out of that malicious charter school.
