Thoughts and prayers, America.
[…] psychedelics […]
I’m glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It’s a win-win!
but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses…
I live in Wisconsin. We have fine cheeses, I dont need it to have actual maggots in it.
That’s why it’s included and it’s the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.
The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it’s going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.
Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.
Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons.
This is kind of an interesting thought, imo. If one agrees with the resultant policy, does the rationale used to get there matter? Perhaps it does in principle, but I wonder if it matters in practice. The end result is the same.
If the end result is that psychedelics get used as an excuse to take power away from the FDA, then everybody’s safety gets compromised in all areas of healthcare.
It does not matter morally, but does rhetorically and politically. The result of neglecting the latter is your rhetoric can be abused, see OP
I think the implications here is that the reasons it gets legalized can have an impact on the specifics of the policy. Which would mean that they wouldn’t agree with the policy beyond the legalization itself.

Could you elaborate on what you mean?
If the brain worms tell RFK Jr. That psychedelics are actually a cancer cure, then legislation could be put forth to legalize psychedelics. But rather than allowing recreational use, or using them for a medical purpose based on scientific fact such as use in conjunction with therapy to treat depression, it could be legalized as prescribed medication for cancer. This has the drawbacks of not allowing access to people that could actually benefit from it, as well as now being used as a snake oil cure for something completely unrelated that will prevent people from getting other more effective treatment.
I mean there’s already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.
A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.
And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!
These people are just so spectacularly unserious.
True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed “Here is a prescription for some meds” while handing me the prescription.
It wasn’t a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote “Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything.”
Big Pharma is everywhere! /s
They’re suppressing my ability to digest food?
[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]
I’ll be honest, I don’t really understand this one. I’d guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don’t really understand why it’s still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren’t we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.
It’s a call to action for people still pissy about having to wear masks
horse
I see what you did there
Feels like beating a dead horse.
At least that horse won’t have parasites with all the ivermectin RFK Jr. is going to feed it.
why would he waste perfectly good ivermectin on a horse he’s just planning to run over, beat, and then dump in central park anyways?
I’m literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There’s no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.
Cool cool cool, but what are you taking it for?
They’re hoarse
Probably lupus
The rash from banging your mum
She takes it from those poor covid infected conspiracy nuts and Hoards it!
He rants about the FDA suppressing things big pharma can’t patent… Did they not develop and patent these?
[…] raw milk […]
I’d support this so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn’t safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.
And parents are held responsible if they give it to kids
Insurance should also not need to cover sickness caused by it
Insurance should cover everyone for everything and should remain affordable for all.
Not if you’re drinking raw milk
What is it with this americans aversion for raw milk, it’s not like you’ll fall down dead if you drink it.
Do you also burn your salmon and cook your meat?
In france there are lots of cheese (no really?) and many are forbidden for import to the USA because of stuff like raw milk. Guess that’s why we have the watch coming by getting all the dead babies every tuesday.
Maybe I’m missing something, please do enlighten me!
I also think insurance shouldn’t cover cancer treatment for smokers. Or diabetes treatment for overweight people. Or broken bones for skiers. Or literally anything for anyone who has ever done anything bad for them. /s
Why shouldn’t they be able to sue cigarette companies or companies releasing unsafe products?
Why should my insurance be higher whilst cigarette companies are benefiting off their shit marketing
What if a child were given raw milk by their parents? Should a child be forced to pay for their parents’ decisions, potentially with their life?
Look up. That’s why I said parents should be held responsible for serving it to kids
Waiting for someone to solve the problem by telling him about the dangerous food additive dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% mortality rate for every person that has ever consumed it.
I guess tripping through the end times is on the table? I’ll take it, I guess.
Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.
Ok, but have you had raw milk Camembert? That’s probably the one thing from the list where you guys should be more lax.
Raw milk for cheese isn’t quite as big of deal as enthusiasts make it out to be. It’s more the homogenization process that destroys milk for cheese than pasteurization. I’ve had alot of success mixing pasteurized skim milk and pasteurized heavy Cream to the ratio I want to make various cheeses. Using Homogenized milk though nearly always failed or gave extremely low yields for me though.
In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu
There’s also the fact that they take steps to hinder bad bacteria. While nurturing the good bacteria that makes their cheese. It’s not like they just throw raw milk into a vat and pull out cheese.
127TB of data. That’s almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you’ll need to transfer them to something better.
It’ll cost you less than $300 and it’ll all fit into a shoebox.
Become an archivist. The future depends on it.
It’ll cost you less than $300
Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.
Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto… Yeah
“Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway”
High latency though and particularly catastrophic if you get packet loss
Nutraceutical sounds like the most quack shit
Apparently now conservatism is now just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.
For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.
Meanwhile, conservatives are like “we haven’t forgotten that you made fun of us for the horse dewormer thing.”
He’s not conservative.
Yup none of these people in Trump’s purview are actively trying to conserve the rate of change.
They should not be labeled conservative by anyone any longer.
Disinformation coming out of the FDA is a real issue though, it’s just that RFK isn’t exactly the person we should want trying to fix it. His list covers the entire spread from significant real issues to batshit crazy conspiracy theory, leaning heavily towards the latter.
It’s notable that the areas in most need of reform were all broken by conservative politicians.
Yeah. They were pretty adamant lefties were easily triggered a few years ago
Now they believe lefties are destroying the environment, and are having a temper tantrum over a lie as stupid as people eating pets told by a guy who lies about everything
That’s okay I’m going to be eating popcorn in Chicago well Florida gets drowned by climate change. And I seriously can’t wait for that day.
In all likelihood you will be too busy with the flooding, the heatwave, or the tornados.
People forget climate change is going to affect nearly every corner of society. There will be very little safe haven and overcrowding in those spared the most.
You know those shows that’s have a futuristic dystopian society with a bunch of people on drugs?
Looks like we are right on schedule.
thank you alduous huxley for the warning. maybe with the next rise of fascism we’ll be better equipped to listen to the story tellers warning us about the dangers we’re in
