Tell me again how uncomfortable those masks are.

      Sorry to go all treatbrained but it really like is those vintage dystopian books and cheaply-produced shows where the protagonist wakes up and everyone is eating with their ass and pooping with their mouth or something and they rapidly lose their mind and start screaming “what the fuck are you doing” at everybody like a raving lunatic (but actually expressing opinions that are completely sane)

          can and should be seen like the ancient Romans knowing that lead was poisoning them and using it anyway.

          Good news! California is banning lead in all fuel, set to take effect in… 2031. So just a couple thousand more years before killing grandma for your treats is no longer acceptable!

              This time CA pinky swears it! Although they’ve pushed back the deadline every single time they were gonna ban it earlier.

              Debate nerd stuff

              It’s Avgas (used by piston engines) that has the lead in it. Lead in jet fuel is generally a very bad thing - it makes the spinny things stop!

          the current "covid is over" brainworms can and should be seen like the ancient Romans knowing that lead was poisoning them and using it anyway.

          I think it's even worse tbh because, and I suppose charitably, lead had/has an actual practical use and Covid is literally just a virus. We can't make it into pipes. We can't make it into anything except death and disease. There is no reason for things to be like this regarding pure illness other than everyone sees everyone else in the world as disposable NPCs and themselves as invincible.
