The stupidest hot take I've ever seen: "Hinduism is anti-Christian and Buddhism gets its 'ism' from Hinduism and that's why it's anti-Christian too."

So because Hinduism and Buddhism both end in "-ism" but Christianity doesn't, those religions are anti-Christian?

I mean, there are so many things wrong with that, I don't even know where to start.

Unionhawk

Racism is anti-christian because it ends in ism

am I doing this right

Kevin van der Velden

Seems reasonable

To be fair that's a true statement with a dumb because

Tim Stone

Old people have nothing better to do than to vote so generally you want them to vote for you

Kevin van der Velden

Also there's a lot of them

Yuuki

I could've sworn there was something else that used the AARP acrostic.

@TimStone Old people are conservative everywhere except healthcare, it seems.

Unionhawk

1:46 PM

I mean

I don't think the AARP would go for single payer

technically

Yuuki

To be fair, conservative positions on things not healthcare literally don't affect them.

Climate change? Who cares, I'm dying in <10 years.

Gerrymandering? Who cares, I'm dying in <10 years.

Reproductive rights? Who cares, I'm dying in <10 years.

@Unionhawk I mean we already have Medicare?

Tim Stone

@TimStone I mean, yes, no thanks, but because that's reckless, not because it's not reckless enough

Kevin van der Velden

@TimStone conservatives should vote no, this is true

Everyone should vote no

Unionhawk

My favorite thing about Graham/Cassidy is that apparently we can't fight for things not getting worse and for things getting better at the same time

so it's caused a "STOP FIGHTING FOR SINGLE PAYER, FOCUS ON THE REAL PROBLEMS"

as if the perfect response to "we should repeal ACA" is "actually everyone likes the ACA" instead of "no we should keep it but it's not enough to just keep it"

which is why the democrats are going to lose a thousand more seats

Speaking of the AARP I accidentally got the One a Day Men's 50+ vitamins instead of just the normal ones so now I'm @Sternold

@TimStone You can never get enough Molybdenum (he says without actually knowing if that's the case)

Yuuki

2:02 PM

@Yuuki >_>

shakes head

@MBraedley There's only 90 micrograms so I suspect you can!

120% DRV

Oh, and the 50+ Advantage also contains titanium dioxide

For colour

Since for some reason it was important that the old people vitamins be blue

Kevin van der Velden

> Although human toxicity data is unavailable, animal studies have shown that chronic ingestion of more than 10 mg/day of molybdenum can cause diarrhea, growth retardation, infertility, low birth weight, and gout; it can also affect the lungs, kidneys, and liver

Yeah you don't want too much of that

Tim Stone

Good times, good times

Kevin van der Velden

> Average daily intake varies between 120 and 240 μg - higher than dietary recommendations

Sooo, 90 microgram per pill I assume? That's quite a lot =p

Tim Stone

Indeed

Also has 25 micrograms of B12, which is 417% your DRV

Love to piss away excess nutrients

Kevin van der Velden

I can't remember where the quote was from, but america basically has worlds most expensive piss due to all those excess things

Tim Stone

2:08 PM

I'd believe it

MBraedley

@TimStone Um, titanium dioxide is white...

Yuuki

That's why it's called "titanium hwite".

MBraedley

As are many titanium compounds

Tim Stone

Multivitamins are fairly useless, for the record, but I really need to go outside more so the extra vitamin D helps >_>

Kevin van der Velden

I know the feeling

Tim Stone

2:10 PM

@MBraedley That's what I thought at first but then saw the pills and went "Hmm" but now I have to wonder what the hell makes them blue

Oh

Unionhawk

Blue #50

Kevin van der Velden

Aren't there vitamine d supplements though?

Tim Stone

They just add blue

Unionhawk

lol

Kevin van der Velden

I like that we're treating blue like a physical substance you can just add to things

Tim Stone

2:10 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but who knows what else I'm missing

Kevin van der Velden

@TimStone this is true

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk WRONG

It's FD&C Blue #1 Lake

Unionhawk

I see

Tim Stone

I guess the titanium dioxide is to whiten the mixture before adding the colouring since the normal pills are this gross beige colour

MBraedley

@TimStone That would seem plausible

Tim Stone

2:12 PM

These also don't smell as bad which I have no plausible explanation for

Kevin van der Velden

Why are you even smelling them?

Tim Stone

The original ones you can actually smell when you open the bottle

Like just being in proximity

Actually, now that I think about it, Obama's administration would only preclude the US-aligned state actor possibility.

Concurrent Versions System

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS), also known as the Concurrent Versioning System, is a free software client-server revision control system in the field of software development. A version control system keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, and allows several developers (potentially widely separated in space and time) to collaborate. Dick Grune developed CVS as a series of shell scripts in July 1986. In addition to commercial software developers, CVS became popular with the open source software world and was released under the GNU General Public License. While there was...
