Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"The solution to pollution is dilution" is capitalist propaganda to avoid paying for their externalities.

We live in an enclosed biosphere, and have been polluting it — poisoning it — well beyond what is sustainable for well over a century, and are continuing to peak ecocide every year, with no reduction in sight.

So yeah, we have microplastics in our balls and brains, are breathing air, drinking water, and eating food, with an ever increasing number of synthetic chemical compounds that are literally poisonous. What the fuck we think was gonna happen? Eternal youth?

Quite sure there is PFAS that will some day make us all sterile. Humanity will go with a whimper. Last being small lab grown authoritarian societies.
