Lol shut up I have two kids, a PhD and almost 20 years experience running a university research lab BEFORE my current job.

So? Did you study the effects of drinking fluoridated water?

Or do you just have faith in those who did?

but listening to the consensus of people who know more than you isn’t religion, it’s a heuristic for making better decisions.

It's just another source of information. Treating that source as absolute truth without understanding it yourself is ignorant.

Are the experts ever wrong?

Smart enough not to treat science like a religion.

What? We put fluoride in water because people can't afford toothpaste or brush their teeth? That's news to me.

So you're saying that there's no point in having fluoridated water if you have proper dental hygiene?

The thing is, copying experts does not mean you understand the subject.

Lots of people think that just because they cite someone with more credentials than them, then that person must be correct. That's not how the real world works and you'll understand it more as you get older.

If you just trust people based on their credentials, then you're treating science like a religion and shouldn't be taken seriously by rational people. You do this because it's easier than understanding the science yourself.

This means you will be taken seriously by average people since rationality is on the decline.

Can you stop replying to all my posts?

We've already established you can't read.

In fact, I'm just gonna make the proactive decision to block you. Goodbye.

The addition of fluoride (fluoridation) to drinking water that is low in fluoride or the use of fluoride toothpaste and supplements significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay.

Jeez, you really can't read, can you?

I don't expect you to be capable of making worthwhile arguments, so I'm just going to end this here.

Goodbye.

There’s a combined Ukraine and Israel aid bill.

Wish combining bills like this wasn't possible.

It's sad because he's doing this while the US withholds supplies.

Also, "I support genocide as long as I get something out of it" is not a good look for a nation that wants sympathy from the world.

He's just looking out for what he cares about, like most scumbags.

Fuck everyone else, right? Lol.

That doesn't make it okay and it never will.

Also, isn't the US withholding support for Ukraine?
