  • You don't need to provide your ID documents, but you do need to provide your identity. I was being hyperbolic but technically what I said was still correct. I've already installed Freetube just in case my account gets deleted.

  • Do this, instead of banning YouTube subscriptions and forcing me to rely on the algorithmic feed (I'm over 18, just don't want to give google my ID).

    Do this, instead of making Steam delete my library of thousands of dollars of games (allegedly).

    Do this, instead of banning accounts on a bunch of social media apps but NOT TELLING US WHICH APPS WILL BE BANNED.

    In short, it's only tangentially related but I wanted to vent about the e-karen.

  • Remind everyone you can that AI detectors don't work. It does a lot of harm that people think they do, but they fundamentally can't work because of Goodhart's Law.

  • After the last election the government needed to form a coalition with libertarian and right-wing populist parties.

  • I don't think we should give the nutters the balance of power in both the upper and lower house. Just look at New Zealand.

  • Chlorine is to disinfect the water, fluoride is to prevent tooth decay. Fluoridated toothpaste is widely available, and it's recently been found that relatively low levels of fluoride in the water have an adverse effect on IQ.

    To be clear and so there are no misunderstandings here, I am aggressively pro-vax. I also strongly support a sugar tax.

  • Lets make these all the new states. Abolish the 6 states (and 2 territories) we have and replace them with these.

  • Which is why they don't give you that button.

  • Chinese rare earth minerals are super cheap. Nobody would buy them if we charge more unless China cuts off supply, and that's a military anxiety rather than anything the market sees opportunity in.

  • We'd need to mine the rare earth metals at a loss. Nobody's getting anything back from mining them.

  • We'd need to mine the rare earth metals at a loss. Nobody's getting rich off them.

  • Rare earth metals aren't profitable. If the world wants ours, they should become shareholders.

    It says fluoride levels of 2-4mg/L are correlated in a reduction of IQ. But technically the WHO has long since recommended a maximum of 1.5mg/L due to a risk of fluorosis which is a comparatively minor concern, though it’s hard to find information about what levels are considered safe beyond “recommendations”. Either way many places have higher than 2mg/L of fluoride in the tap water (due to natural content).

  • Specifically recent research showed that the safe levels of fluoride are lower than we thought. I don't remember the exact research, and I phrased it poorly because I didn't remember it. I'll edit it accordingly.

    Regarding whether dietary and toothpaste fluoride is sufficient, I'll defer to you on that.

  • Too much fluoride has recently been shown to be dangerous at lower concentrations than we thought, and fluoride can be gotten via diet or toothpaste. I personally think water should contain only the absolute bare minimum necessary fluoride, and even without fluoride in water there are other options.

  • Yes, but they don't have an excuse.

  • They seem to be under the misguided impression that this will resolve the birth rate crisis. The smut example may have an effect if it were part of a broader crackdown on porn, but targeting homosexuality won't resolve anything and just make people miserable.

    And China is a majority atheist country so the state really has no excuse for this blatant bigotry.

  • It's "attempted conspiracy to commit treason" at this stage, which is pathetic and embarrassing but still evil. And as Norah said they may learn who Ley is after this, though that's predicated on Trump being able to read.
