For decades, the FDA knew ‘forever chemicals’ were harmful but failed to act

I can see chemical giant 3M's HQ from here.. almost. It's in the wells and aquifers. They say most Americans have it in the body and it's been detected on Mr. Everest!! The company has been paying fines here and there around the world, I believe, but they got away with a measly sum right here because us Minnesotans are "super local" and proud of anything Minnesotan.

I just live with it. :p I'm no the only one and not the worst. (Lake Mead running out of water!) I try to use the carbon filter on the fridge for consumption but tap for heavy usage like boiling pasta. I read about our skins absorbing toxins during baths and showers but fuck it! I still take long hot showers! :D

I don't really understand how Americans think they have the best country in the world, when the rest of us think it's a shower of shit. Sticking to Imperial is retarded enough, but with your gun laws and views on equality.... Can you really not see it?!?!?

I have a handful of American friends who see America differently after spending a few years in the UK. It's a great British pastime to bad mouth our own country, but it seems it's not as bad as we think

Because we get brainwashed with simple mottos. Support the Troops. MAGA. Hope. etc. That whole nationalist movement. I've been seeing this quote around a lot and I think it rings true, especially the "flag" part.

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

America lacks strong culture :( I think that's why there's an identity crisis from top to bottom.

I can really see it!! It's difficult to talk about it with other Americans, especially the older ones because it can be soul crushing to escape/exit the Matrix.

We still have good things in America but those things haven't been around long - if America is a person, it's still a child. :p

Average Cost of Insulin (Source: RAND Corporation in 2020)

US $98
CA $12
NZ $8
NO $7
UK $7

:eek:

Insulin is free here. No charge.

Not only that, but we have an admin charge of around $15 for all other medicine, with the full charge covered by our free health service. But if you're diabetic, you don't have to pay the admin charge. So all other medicines are also free.

But.... Who wants that Communist shit anyway!!!

It's not just Americans who have it. It's worldwide. Not just 3m either, they're just well known because they dumped a load of it illegally. It's been legally used widely for decades.

In the UK it is mostly found at rubbish tips, aerodromes and sewage works sites. As the chemicals are distributed along the water systems they are diluted and become less of a problem. The EA here (EPA) are behind the curve and haven't even got a standard for safe levels. The issue with PFAS is bioaccumulation, so it needs to be more robust then the drinking water standard!

Because we were in the EU, the use of most of PFAS is banned here and we are dealing with legacy issues.

I know quite a bit about it, as I've been working on a construction project to remove high level concentrations of PFOS from areas where I work

Socialism for the corporations, capitalism for the rest :(
The way some public figures in America denounce it is offensive! The so-called leftist politicians aren't much better as they're quick to sign away war funding. I like Rep. Omar as a Twitter character but I'm afraid she's part of the swamp.

"Pro-life" but no baby formula on the shelves. Yeah, okay.

:D
 
They're on a roll

WASHINGTON — In a blow to the fight against climate change, the Supreme Court on Thursday limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.

By a 6-3 vote, with conservatives in the majority, the court said that the Clean Air Act does not give the Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to global warming.

I only ever came to SH to shitpost back in 05. Liked 2Pac but not enough to join a fan club for him.

Coming up to 17 years on here.
I think i found this site sometime in 2004, when it was still hitemup.com

I must have been 13 or 14 and I was pretty much high all the time. I remember getting lost in all the "he's alive" conspiracy threads. I also remember signing some sort of online petition back in the day around "forcing" one the record labels (or whoever it was) to release all his unreleased music and genuinely thinking if enough people signed it'd happen. To be young again.

One of the guys I grew up with ending up recording some tracks with the Outlawz and Boot Camp Click.

"Pregnancy begins with a penis. Regulate that."

Okay, this just ruined my day a little. Am I misunderstanding what that's supposed to mean? I guess it ends with a vagina then? How the fuck does pregnancy begin with a penis? What about if the woman's on top lmao? That's like saying car tunnel serial crashes begin with cars... No wait :oops: they actually do. Wait a sec...

It's like saying electromagnetism starts with positive attraction. Or that yin-yang starts with yin. I don't have any strong opinions about the right answer concerning abortions. I empathize with women in difficult situations, ie. incest/rape victim having to carry forth the child-scenario. I 100% support that victims of unwanted pregnancy due to things "like that" should be allowed to abort the pregnancy. But I also recognize that calling a fetus a life is a legit stance, and I also empathize with those who find abortions immoral. Shit, I empathize with people that don't wanna kill flies and I empathize with people that wanna bomb a whole country, feelings make sense when you can understand where they come from. As far as pregnant 10 year olds go... That's a third world phenomenon. In most of the west that shit doesn't happen. It happens in poor societies. It happens in trailer parks. It happens to people that have undiagnosed development issues. It happens to addicts. For some reason, it happens a lot in the UK and America. It happens to certain demographics that exist due to failed social policy. Granting abortions should be a symptomatic treatment while we figure out how to solve the root problem, but it's became this right that people feel entitled to. I understand that moralizing about the person getting pregnant is useless from a societal point of view. I understand why it's a bad idea for a 10-year old to have and raise a baby. Anything I say that suggests otherwise was misinterpreted.

But boy oh boy when either side of some on-going battle start using false narratives as weapons, gloves come off and they deserve to suffer through all seven circles of hell... Pregnancy doesn't start with a penis, it starts with two people deciding to have unprotected sex. There's at least about 1 minute of foreplay and 2 minutes of on-going sex where either one could have been like "oh wait, that's right, babies etc." but neither of them did. How the fuck did that all start with a penis? I ask again, what if the woman's on top? Fuck that person (in the ass, so they don't get pregnant), seriously. Call me psycho, but I want people like this person with the "starts with a penis" poster to lose everything they have.

I honestly don't know what my end-all be-all opinion about the overall abortion issue is, at the end of the day. It's kinda too big. Maybe what I'm saying is abortions should be a temporary symptomatic treatment for these social issues and not a right. Maybe filling out some forms and having some educated people decide whether you're full of shit before you get the "okay" is a good idea. Unjust perhaps, but this isn't about rights, it's about helping people that need it. If an upstanding citizen in their 20s ends up getting pregnant "by accident", imo, tough luck, get fucked, and do the right thing already. Travelling for a few years and finding yourself, or getting the education you always dreamed of, isn't a right . It's a privilege, and one thing you gotta do to have that privilege, is to not get fucked and pregnant before you're at the finish line. That means holding back in the moment and not living on a whim, as a sacrifice to get other things you want. In spirit of how the world actually works. One can't have it all, choices matter. I thought these were important principles of human life. Action-reaction etc. Make some choices in life god damnit. Okay, I guess I do have some strong opinions about the matter, lol. They're just not the polarized "make abortions illegal!" or "abortion is a female right and men should shut up!".
