I guess the spot where we disagree is that this is common knowledge. It turns out there is _lots_ of stuff that I thought "everyone knows this" that most people don't actually know.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the problem. You and I have known for years, but a person who is just now finding out about raw milk is getting bad information. She is trying to be "natural," doesn't really understand what pasteurization is, and then gets bad information from her own government health service.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
The US Secretary of Health is saying that raw milk is a healthy option. Literally the country's highest health authority is saying to drink it. I'm not going to call her a dumbass for getting wrong information from an authority.

There was a Vault-Tec van at Walmart last night. It wasn't some sort of promotion at Walmart. I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, I'm veering off topic, lol. I just think Lower Decks is being satirical by having the episodes be just one day. It's ultimately a comedy, after all.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
But he was never in traffic. He literally would leave at the end of an episode and arrive at the start of the next one. So he left at, say, 9:58 and arrive at 10:02. That's 4 minutes to get around DC or LA.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
CSI Miami episodes are usually the same day, despite having the characters drive all around the city and getting DNA results processed. In 24, the character would begin to travel at the end of an episode, and arrive at the beginning of the next episode which means his car teleported around.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
The "Please Show ID" bit definitely makes this a joke, since ICE notoriously doesn't show ID.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn't Lower Decks a satire, though? Yes, it's a loving, respectful satire, but it is still poking fun at the source material. So I don't think there is anything wrong with everything improbably always happening in just one day. It's a trope of television, especially sitcoms.

Yes. We must stop him from seizing power first. If wanting the Epstein files released is the motivation for stopping him, then okay. But he must be stopped.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
He's consolidating power to the point where he's just not going to release them. He'll ignore House subpoenas. He'll ignore lawsuits. What's going to happen? He'll get impeached? He controls the Senate. He's making himself above the law. That's not a distraction, it's the goal.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
Don't let the Epstein files distract you from his totalitarian takeover of the country. He's not releasing the files, but he is unleashing the military on "blue" cities.

You are making an assumption that everyone has good parents. Some of Epstein's girls were basically sold to him by their parents. Sex traffickers prey on girls from abusive homes.

To you, you are not really transitioning at all. You are already that gender, and have been.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
If you change your gender with hormones or surgery, they see this as you escaping from their worldview and their control of their own reality. This makes them irrationally angry.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
And to a transphobe, your physical self is the only representation of your gender. Ultimately, they are narcissists. The only gender they will accept is the one that they perceive. And they want to enforce their view of your own gender onto you.
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
From a perspective outside of your brain (such as my brain), I cannot know any of your thoughts. Your physical self is how you are presented to everyone else. This is why your genitals/appearance have such an over-representation of your gender. (cont.)
Craig Staley (@craigstaley.bsky.social) reply parent
Why would the term "transgender" be outdated by this? The brain has the opposite "side" gender from the genitals. The word "transgender" fits that perfectly.

That my be true of Virginia Giuffre, but we know Epstein got more underage girls from Mar a Lago. And the entire way Trump has talked about this is problematic. He was angry that Epstein "stole" her? As if she were property. The whole thing is so gross.

Dear media: There is no such thing as an "underage message therapist." To become a licensed massage therapist, you must be at least 18. These were children rubbing the nude bodies of adults in Trump's spas. Trump is mad that Epstein took his child sex workers.

And a high-fiber diet will help get the plastic out of your gut. Most people need to eat more fiber anyway, so this will increase your health in general.

This is the only actual solution. Don't use plastic food storage, or eat food in plastic packaging. Get a high-end water filter that will remove microplastic. Your body will naturally filter the plastic from your body, so the main trick is to quit putting plastic in your body.
