    Progressive here. I vote in every primary and try to rally support for the most progressive in my coalition. Come November, I vote against fascists which means voting for Democrats because they’re obviously better in every way.

    If you don’t vote or vote third party, congratulations, it means you were duped by right-wing propaganda or don’t understand how our election system works and the inevitable binary outcome that comes with FPTP and whole you didn’t give fascists +2, you gave them +1.

    There is but no better thing to do than to reiterate that which was said for those who persist with fingers-in-ear denial without substantive refutation:

    1. I did not.

    2. I guarantee their discharge paperwork and instructions were clear on this.

    3. I explicitly noted noted, “edge cases with health conditions aside.” (Ding Ding Ding)

    Yes, of course follow guidelines by your doctor(s) and for specialized procedures. I thought it was extremely obvious my suggestions were preventative in nature.


  • Naturally, more studies need to be conducted and microplastics have only been intensively studied beginning this past decade (PFAS being separate and longer). Similar to the carnivore fad diet, odds are exceedingly-high that having microplastics is not good for us but long-term and fully causal studies have not fully identified all mechanistic linkages. Yet I recall tobacco industries rhetorically hiding behind these arguments in a similar manner despite growing concerns from scientists and medical professionals.

    I just take issue with the implication of the other user that this is as harmless as ubiquitous and as fearmongering as water. That in itself is absurd.

    Microplastics should not be in our fucking bodies. Water should.
