  • Kissinger didn’t give a shit about the Jewish people, or people at all, even after seeing first hand the horrors of the Holocaust. Kissinger backed the genocide of Bengali Hindus, personally approved bombings in Cambodia, directly influenced the reign of terror that would murder thousands of Chileans, and told Nixon that the gassing of Soviet Jews wasn’t America’s concern. He called US jews who called for action against the Soviets “self serving bastards” and completely ignored his own heritage when visiting his home town in Germany.

    Amazing that you would claim him when he wouldn’t claim you.





  • It’s the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.

    And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.

    Unfortunately it’s also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.

    Fahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot
    Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=dead

    It makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in.

    In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.



  • There’s a picture of a mug on the Wikipedia page with the warning.

    Furthermore, Prop 65’s name isn’t all it does. The Prop 65 labels you see in products are there because of the second part of the act. “No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose” anyone to those chemicals “without first giving clear and reasonable warning.”

    That’s what the warning labels are for. It has little to do with the production process and disposal process, and is there to warn the consumer of the final product being purchased and what it contains.


  • The biggest issue with Prop 65 is that the lost of chemicals includes things that cause cancer under specific conditions that consumers aren’t likely to encounter and chemicals only known to cause cancer in animals. Ceramic fiber is a listed chemical, which means you need a Prop 65 label on ceramic mugs, even though ceramic fiber exposure would only occur upon breaking the mug and the effects would be negligible unless you’re crushing mugs up into powder and railing the lines like Tony Montana.
