Better than not being one, I guess

At a certain point, fascism is bad for business, so I can imagine a small overlap there.

Oh jeez I’m old

Not because I was around when this stuff was invented but because I went to school way back when they actually taught you stuff, including when things were invented

More salient takeaway is, don’t use a LLM to translate a scientific paper. Because it can’t translate a scientific paper. It can only rewrite the entire paper, in a different language. And it will introduce misunderstandings and hallucinations.

The exception is my country won’t deport me to a death camp for it.

Wanna bet?

Fascism is a virus, it doesn’t contain itself to one country.

or is it?

No

Hope this helps

We might already be in the “death camps” phase of fascism.

I’m guessing you’re not a native English speaker?

Christians

Under Biden, economic inequality decreased for the first time in a generation.

But you dumb shits absolutely refused to believe it. Because propaganda fucking works.

but I held my nose like I always do.

Leftist card revoked, you are now a collaborator.

But instead of fixing anything

When we showed you literally how he was fixing things, you LITERALLY DENIED REALITY AND CALLED IT FAKE NEWS.

You people are a cult just as bad as MAGA, and serve the same ends.

Oh FUCKING NOW we need unity?!

Fuck you people forever.

She should have been out there rallying a crowd to scream this shit in Biden’s ear back when it mattered. She should have been holding firm on “Defund ICE” back before they were snatching people off the street and shoving them in El Salvadorian prisons.

She was. Turns out nothing you do matters if the entire media apparatus is conspiring with the other side.

Weaselly bullshit.

“Both sides are the same” isn’t some fucking Leftist code that actually means some other thing. You meant what you goddamn said.

You know “centrist” is not a political party, right? Fuckin kids these days, what are they teaching you…

He did do his homework. He’s not saying this shit out of ignorance but out of malice. He’s a Russian shill.

You begin to recognize the usernames.

Do you think that Juul or Phillip Morris or whatever wouldn’t fund studies that said vape is harmless?

Absolutely! Cigarettes are the money makers. Vapes have been eating into their profits. When vapes are restricted, cigarette usage goes way up.

I’ve linked 4 or 5 studies so far which seem to indicate that nicotine has cancer promoting effects

The problem as I’ve mentioned is these studies will have titles and abstracts that say vapes are more dangerous than fentanyl, but the actual science doesn’t support that conclusion. Typically the study will show that vapes can cause cancer in some way, but completely fail to give any context for how dangerous it is in comparison with other environmental factors. In the worst case, they’ll actually cook the books with insane concentrations of nicotine or outrageous assumptions about vape use. Well I guess the worst case was that one study which literally fabricated data, but that’s an outlier.

if you actually believe the fox news ass all men are rapists line

I heard that first-hand from women on this site.

you wouldn’t argue if I said all bears are dangerous

Yeah no shit, that’s the point.

So far, the only sketchy science I’ve seen has been people trying to claim vapes are killing our children. It’s a classic moral hysteria. Every. Single. Case. Of kids being harmed by vapes has been sketchy Chinese shit, which they wouldn’t try to get if you people weren’t so insistent on banning vapes in the US!

I’m arguing that vapes are less harmful than alcohol, fast food, or car exhaust. Less harmful than sitting at a desk all day. Less harmful than any of a thousand things people do daily. This absolute hysteria around vaping needs to end.

And it’s less a conspiracy than a social movement - if you want funding, find vapes to be harmful. If you want your career destroyed, tell the truth. I don’t think there’s a cabal of evil moustache-twirling scientists; I think there’s a very powerful social and financial incentive to come to certain conclusions.
