Yeah overkill would be a terrible name for meds; this would be the easiest one

bread poisoning

Oof, I remember someone once sticking a piece of bread in my sandwich in an attempt to harm me

Thankfully someone had the antidote for bread and I was fine

Can’t I stab the mold to kill it and then eat it? If that worked for what’s in the sandwich then I fail to see why it wouldn’t work for the mold

Wait, you’re not supposed to pet service dogs?

Forget tasted it, some people just flat out ate it, such as Galen Winsor

Dude 1 out of 100 people died of it and you think that’s low?

People who get infected may show zero or little symptoms, reinforcing the belief it’s harmless, while others literally die.

Yup, not taking the vaccine is like playing rock paper scissors for your life; heck, even if you win your opponent might leave you with a parting gift.

including even COVID

Of course you are; in fact I think it’s more especially covid than ‘including even’ covid.

I personally don’t take vaccines for everything (for example I’m not taking meds for the common cold unless my fever spikes) but covid had a bad fatality rate and a lot of people came out of it with permanent ailments; it was especially deadly on the elderly.

I agree you shouldn’t take meds for every little issue, in fact if you can you would preferably regulate your diet to treat constipation and diarrhea, but covid is another matter. The vaccine has empirically reduced mortality rates.

In 30 years this will be a very well-studied period of human history and behavior.

Yeah like I’d take the opinion of idiots 30 years from now criticizing us when they’ll be believing empathy gives you cancer, or that retirement leads to violence; thirty years ago people were saying about us today that we’d be studying their failings and meanwhile we’re fighting off antivaxxers and people saying <insert ordinary medicine> gives you autism while we study those failings; thirty years from now those losers will be engaged in their own laughable failings, so they can get off their high horse cause they have their own laughable kooks.

That would legit be an awesome way to tell your colleagues Earth is about to be a parking spot for a meteor

But capitalism has a copyright on innovations!

I admit biology isn’t my field of expertise, but if there’s plastic in my danglies, does that mean my kids will be action figures, or will that take several more generations?

Ken standing on a stool to reach all of Raoh’s pressure points

I was curious about if Jupiter could be ignited and got (it’s an AI answer btw):

Why Jupiter can’t ignite: Lack of Mass: Jupiter is a failed star because it doesn’t have enough mass for its core to reach the extreme temperatures and pressures needed to start nuclear fusion.

So Jupiter is the inferior brother to the sun that has to live in its shadow. Jupiter’s such a loser, lol; get rekt Jupiter.

The Germans are perhaps still motivated by guilt over the Holocaust

Honestly I’m not entirely convinced the Germans ARE motivated by guilt; it seems to me more that they’re not happy with the image they created among their (perceived) peers and are now trying to create a new image to be seen by. They want TO BE SEEN as having overcome their past and become better for it, but the idea that they’ve fundamentally changed is a joke. They committed atrocities in Namibia for example but have never paid reparations to the people there, and of course why should they? Other European countries rag on Germany for the holocaust, none of them give a damn about the atrocities committed against the Herero people.

They bend over backwards for Israel because they don’t want to be mocked as Nazis; they want to continue viewing themselves in the same lofty position they see other Western European countries in.

Honestly this

I recall something (RFK?) said that tiktok took the narrative on Gaza out of their hands. They can’t tell people what to think if people have access to events (through video and images) that previously the news used to either hide or share tidbits about but heavily color by narrative.

I’m currently working in the Middle East and speaking for myself, I’m less worried about dying brutally to a bombing campaign by China than I am by my own government, so that certainly plays a role.

I think if the government put some effort towards PR by making some superficial gestures such as not invading other countries or overthrowing their governments it would certainly help improve our image abroad and I could stop pretending I’m British.

What we really need is to convince the global South that NOT being bombed by China is actually an evil orientalist plot to subvert our kindly brutality.

It’s getting very exhausting telling the locals “Oy yoo lot ain’t neva seen ‘ow ‘orrible dem Choinese ca’ be! Would yoo be preferrin’ youse country, yeah? Would youse be preferrin’ yoo be in one a dem ‘orrifying debt traps, or would youse be preferrin’, yeah? A noice Gaaza remodelin’, yeah? Oi think tha choice is an easy one, yeah? Dem Choinese don’ seem so noice now, do they?”

Speaking like a Brit makes my mouth hurt; no wonder they’re so miserable.
