What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?
  • Throwing a little bit of baking soda into tomato based sauces can tame the acidity as well, and is actually a pretty great trick for neutralizing the canned taste if you're using canned tomatoes. Just make sure to add it slowly and mix slowly, otherwise you'll be creating a science fair volcano on your stovetop.

  • Scientists warn that a crucial ocean current could collapse, altering global weather
  • Kinda funny to call out a logical fallacy and then immediately commit an ad hominem (whataboutism) fallacy. Your argument does not change the fact that this is happening and that we aren't doing everything we can to prevent it. No one involved in this issue is ignoring that China and India are part of the problem, there's just nothing we can do short of war or economic pressures. War is out of the question because no one would survive to fix the planet anyway, so economic pressure it is, which would once again require us to do something.

  • Doctors Concerned About Neuralink's First Patient
  • The Hippocratic Oath is not a legally binding oath, and many doctors are not required to take this oath or any oath for that matter. Basically, at the end of the day, oaths only matter to the people who have the strength of character to hold to them no matter the cost and most people do not have that strength of character. Oaths mean nothing to those people when it comes down to it, it's just a thing that you said once, nothing more.

  • Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter
  • I wouldn't call it ironic. You claimed that US military training causes permanent irreversible brain damage and referenced concussions as the cause. This is just has no hard evidence to back it up. And your comment here states something that was not your original claim and has not actually been studied and peer reviewed on anything except for a few studies on mice, where those studies indicate that it's hard to equivocate these outcomes to humans for a number of reasons. I'm not claiming that exposure to sub-concussive blasts isn't dangerous or injuring peoples brains, it probably is but I don't know for sure whether it does or not since it's not actually proven. Just stating, once again, that training is not responsible for actual concussions except in rare circumstances like accidental injury, almost all of these injuries occur in actual combat. Further, a majority of US service members are never even exposed to sub-concussive blasts, so there is only a small subset which your claim would even apply to in the first place.

    I'm not trying to tear down your comments or defend the US military's practices, I just don't think making these types of claims without legitimate proof is useful or appropriate. If I've missed something that proves everything I've said wrong I'm perfectly happy to be corrected.

  • Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter
  • I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from but concussions are probably one of the plethora of shitty things that you actually aren't exposed to during training. Concussions and TBI are common because of close contact with explosives in combat zones mostly, not in training.

    Of course I'm not defending the military and their practices, I was in the Marine Corps myself, this bit is just not true though.
