Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), PFAS are widely used and persist for long periods of time in the environment, meaning they are found in the blood of people and animals around the world, as well as air, water, soil and in low levels in foods, packaging and household products.

What health risks are associated with PFAS?​

While scientists are still working to determine the extent to which PFAS impact us, animals and our environment, they are already associated with a list of health concerns.

According to the EPA, PFAS have been linked to:

  • Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women.
  • Developmental effects or delays in children, including low birth weight, accelerated puberty, bone variations, or behavioral changes.
  • Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.
  • Reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections, including reduced vaccine response.
  • Interference with the body’s natural hormones.
  • Increased cholesterol levels and/or risk of obesity.
No one is disputing that. The important thing in relation to this issue of plastic straws vs paper straws is, as I quoted before.

"While PFAS were present in most straws tested, the low concentration, paired with the limited extent to which people use straws, means they don’t pose an immediate risk to humans.

Small amounts of PFAS are not harmful in and of themselves, but rather their ability to build up over time, including in the human body, is what poses the most risk. Even with these findings, plant-based straws are still better for the environment than straight-up plastics."

The science ain't in, for now it's all political football, but for some dullards they thought it was a good time to exercise their TDS.
 
Hilarious that grown men are cheering this fucking idiot on.

Especially people he wouldn’t even piss on.

Executive order on straws. Fuck me dead a complete idiocracy.

Wasting time and money on ridiculous shit for the brain dead cult members.

If this was a woman doing this they’d be losing their shot at how dumb and petty it is.

Tbh trump is a funny fool. It’s the people who lap it up who are the real retards.

Be fair. Trump is not sitting there in his first two weeks of the 2nd Term thinking, "Oh, we need to bring back straws." These Executive Orders were planned in the prior 4 years in his exile, and they're being rolled out strategically.

ANSWER THIS @tsf : which is more idiotic -

  1. the Democrats banning straws when their State is having record homelessness, and left neglected to what we've seen as a fire hazard of monstrous proportions, or

  2. to rescind the Democrats' idiotic ban on straws as a political statement.
If I were a politician playing 4D-Chess (a term that Trump supporters understand), I'd throw them this E.O. on straws at a time when the Leftist loons are in disarray, and need distracting e.g. during a crucial week where the two most important positions are being voted on in the Senate - Tusli Gabbard and Kash Patel (DNI and FBI respectively).





Jimmy Dore used to be more Leftist, but now, like Elon Musk, is appalled by the Leftward drift of the Democrats.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Lol. These blokes quoting the same agencies they want defunded and disbanded because they're 'all corrupt' and 'full of libtard scientists with agendas'.

Talk about irony overload.

You either agree the agencies put out good work or you don't quote them. You can't have it both ways.

Absolutely schooled the clown and he still comes back for more.
 
The article says "All the shocking ways USAID spent your money' then goes on to list 1.65 million of expenditures out of a 30 billion USD aid budget.

Using my brain, I'd say there are two possibilities here:

A. Daily male is counting on your ADHD and getting so exhausted by a list of 4 things that you then think said list accounts for the entire 30 billion US aid budget

OR 2.

B. Daily male is counting on your naevity to think you can cherry pick 1.65 million USD out of a 30 billion budget and somehow convince someone it's representative of the 29,998,350,000.

Both are likely candidates. For instance, being someone who needs AI to think for him, that hitches your wagon to something that can spit something it scraped, but not think critically about what it means. In which case, you'd absolutely 'think' it's representative, becase it's something you can copy, paste and even pute into prose (boy oh boy wowee!). But, considering other contextual factors such as your lack of a life, job, hobbies, anything that can hold your attention for an hour etc, the ADHD factor is hard to ignore either.

I'm going to go with:

C. You're a tool



I hang around this forum to interact with people like yourselves -- ordinary people, who think like the masses - never questioning the TV news, preferring to insult people, rather than test facts and evidence.

Your first reaction is think that list of ridiculous spending is a minority of USAID rather than the bulk, and that Trump is a tyrant to scrap all of USAID. So here are facts and evidence of the type of spending that is totally insane in the U.S. -- and possibly in Australia, with the likes of @Decentric doing similar political activism in Australia. Below is an except from a U.S. Senate report, with the government URL for you to check it yourself.

Who needs consumer protection anyways.


Some people need years of experience before they fully understand a field, not Mr Swasticar. Rip, tear, bust.

Funny how the $850 billion a year military budget hasn't had a look in yet.

Maga are cheering on a billionaire who wants to take control of a government in a move that would make an African dictator blush, and on top of that he wants to replace the workforce with computers.

Lets see what they think of their country in 12 months.
 
Also how’s the propeller hat nerd squad in that DOGE that all these alpha MAGA hard men are cheering on 😂

I’m all for government reform but this is going to be hilarious

As you said, what about looking at defense? Or politicians and their lackey’s themselves first

Pete Hesgeth indicated he'll bring the DOGE treatment to the Pentagon.

These reports of teenagers giving bureaucrats 15 minutes to justify their jobs in deciding whether to sack them.


"According to the disgruntled worker, 19- to 21-year-old college graduates from DOGE are conducting 15-minute interviews with grown-up federal employees, forcing them to “justify their existence” within the agency before determining if they should be fired."​
 
Against my better judgement I clicked on the link.

Despite the frontal assault on my cortex I'm sort of glad I did because it fully confirms to me that you are in fact a retard with no critical thinking skills. I would call you a retarded mong but that would be an insult to retarded mongs.

Amazing 'journalism' from the Gateway Pundit.

A Pulitzer is surely in the offing.


A few choice excerpts from said article.

An unnamed federal worker, one of the many leftists upset by the shakeup, recently spoke at a town hall in Leesburg, Virginia, organized by Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) on Monday night, revealing a process that’s nothing short of revolutionary.

The crybaby federal worker went on to say that agency supervisors were provided with a “justification form” and instructed to remain completely silent about the situation with their staff.

The anonymous speaker also whines about Musk’s lieutenant allegedly living in the agency.

But of course, the liberal narrative has to twist the DOGE takeover into something sinister, with claims of doxxing and threats to queer and transgender employees.



If that's the 'quality' that the MSM can't match then that's the first and last article I will ever read from that cesspit.

I only wish someone would give you 15 minutes to 'justify your existence' before reefing your modem out of the wall.
 
Against my better judgement ...

Amazing 'journalism' from the Gateway Pundit.

Under the new Trump 2nd administration, conservative Media like The Gateway Pundit are admitted to White House Press Briefings.

Why do you revel in seeing people fired? Do you think everyone that works for the government is some Marxist leftist transgender that must be punished? And not just normal people doing a job?

Weird how it’s all about bringing jobs back to Americans but the absolute delight at seeing people be made unemployed. Again, not very Christian I would have thought.
