Yeah have someone burn down your house and then file an insurance claim.

See how that goes for you.

Ironically, arson is a felony and it’s unlikely that insurers cover such events that are due to criminal acts.

Insurers are likely not paying out anything.

Issues of morality… Like checks notes illegal wars?

Several capsules are designed to effectively and safely land on land.

For cultural reasons, it probably developed as a valuable tribal in-grouping check.

How do we know for sure you are one of us and not a spy or an infiltrator… Well, if you are an ancient Tribal Jewish person you have a special trick to prove you are in the group.

I mean… If SoaceX had sent people around the moon, then I think the general public would have been interested in that.

I think it was more about the mission, not the org that made the craft.

And millions of stupid people will still think they can play the game too.

Texas BBQ embarrasses all other regional BBQ.

You just don’t see it as commonly in other parts of the nation because it’s so much more difficult to cook. They can’t handle it.

Their desire for dopamine kicks from pointless thumbs up numbers from strangers online is more powerful than their desire to not support Nazis.

And, you know, the F-bomb.

They don’t care. They need their anti-intellectualism as badly as fundamentalist Christians.

Let it be finished tonight.

But I do find it funny how Lemmy people will one jerk down vote anything that causes them any minor about it cognitive dissidence.

Never stopped.

Just gonna leave this here…

That’s a fair criticism.

Their propaganda has actually generally sucked pretty bad this war. They had the opportunity to make the US and Israel (and particularly Trump and Bebe) into a global pariah. They could have started showing videos of schools and other graphic terrible images of people the US has murdered and things they have destroyed. They could have turned the whole world against the US and Israel, just like Biden and Zelinski were able to turn the would world against Russia.

But instead they dug in, started bombing everyone else around them, and made everyone remember why they are hated in the first place.

There are several problems with the charlatans.

1. if you haven’t taken a science class since high school, then their advice often right. I’m amazed at how quickly the medical pseudo-science that flipped politically in my life time. I was raised in a deep red conservative Christian community and I don’t remember anti-vaccines ever being a thing for my community (we definitely had our issues, just not that one). The medical pseudo-science thing back then was firmly in the far left liberal sphere. The anti-vaxx movement was a hippy-liberal thing. (I’m not really sure when that flipped.)

2. The medical industry -including academia- is very much at fault in burning trust. There are many instances of the medical industry intentionally withholding treatments because a different treatment made them more money. Or doctors over prescribing in order to charge insurance companies more money.

3. A lot of what RFK jr says. Starts off good. He’s all like “Hey, we medicate too much. We should all focus on eating healthier and exercising. That’s what the government should encourage.” And even I’m like, “Yeah, okay. I agree.” Then he goes on to say “And that why you should shove a bowling ball up your butt.” That’s when he loses me.

I’m an environmental engineer and environmental scientist and I specialize in industrial hazmat waste issues, but I recognize even I’m a bit out of my professional lane on this.

But if you were to identify specific “toxins” that you are interested in “cleansing” there are often methods to do that. But first, I would recommend talking to a health professional. And those cleanses are going to vary significantly based on the toxin of interest.

But your best general “cleanse” is to eat more green leafy vegetables and exercise regularly. And feel free to drink a 4oz glass of milk a couple times a week.

When did progressives get all “Got mine first!”

I mean the selfish carelessness of progressives today is really astonishing.

If your job sucks so bad because you have to make the most minor accommodations for your co-workers families, then just quit your job. Like, you have no responsibilities and nothing holding you back. What’s your problem?
