Depends on what kind of radiation. Alpha radiation? You can hold the banana forever, but you better not eat it. Gamma radiation? Kinda fucked wither way.

- Comment on The House Of The Guy Calling You A Libtard 2 weeks ago:
I think the meme is classist because it directs anger toward the people living in the pictured low-income housing. People who have the least control over the forces shaping their lives. Meanwhile, the billionaire class, who paid a hefty and blood-soaked price to keep them uneducated and inundated with right-wing propaganda, escape scrutiny.
Don’t get me wrong, the people in that picture probably suck. They’re more of a symptom tho.

I mean, good. We all know that the owners of these sites manipulate the algorithm to push a specific agenda. Seems like the only way to take that power from them is to leave the websites.

Welcome to fascism, where the rules are made up and the crimes don’t matter (unless your enemies do them, then they really really matter).
- Comment on hows keto working out for you 1 month ago:
Dunning Kruger.
Your body is so much more complicated than a function that takes calories as input and outputs an expected result. You need more than just calories, you need nutrients. A nutrient deficient person does not burn calories the same way a person with a balanced diet does.
Like just think for a second. Is the only variable of food that matters is calories, then why do you need vitamins? Why do we split calories into categories like protein, carbs, veggies, fruits, etc? Why can you get a PhD in nutrition if it’s only as simple as calories in calories out?
The simple answer is it’s not simple. Asserting that it is when it isn’t creates some terrible narratives around exercise, diet, and body image.

The first and second images are fantasy.
How come everyone wants to imagine the future is great and the past was great (it wasn’t, it’s literally just now but worse), but nobody wants to imagine what they could do to make now better?

- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 2 months ago:
I recently switched to TIDAL as a stop gap to ahem other options, and I’m relatively pleased.
My biggest gripe is it doesn’t let your search your playlists when adding songs on the phone app.
It’s not the best option, but at least they pay artists a little more.

This is actually me when I’m in public and see someone judging a family based on exactly one frame of their lives.
I know a family with small kids who watch stuff like this on an iPad. One kid figured out how to get onto regular YouTube, and now watches tutorials to bypass parental controls. A true hacker in the making.
It’s been a nightmare for the parents tho, the kid figured out how to turn on all the game systems and plays stuff they’re not supposed to now lol.
Also, for anyone feeling high and mighty about the content from their childhood: youtu.be/EIyixC9NsLI

Teflon is the brand name for for the chemical Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Making PTFE requires PFAS, which are the toxic part. Think of PFAS as little bits of chain varying lengths that get strung together to make the larger PTFE molecule.
The argument you’re making sounds similar to something like “Fossil Fuels are safe, it’s just the CO2 that’s dangerous.” PFAS contaminated water being released to the environment is an unavoidable by produce of making Teflon. You can only make Teflon as a solid without suspending the PFAS in water first.
Here’s a pretty good video about the history, manufacturing process, and toxicity.

I think you can teach at community college without a teaching degree. You might need a master’s though.
I have a CS degree but started out in nuclear power, then that got me into automation and robotics. There’s way more of that take your time to do it right atmosphere, and these jobs are all over hiding in unexpected places. I guess nobody wants to turn on an expensive machine just to have it eat itself because of a software bug lol.
