TheObviousSolution , in Scientology is on the brink of killing an entire medical industry
@TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee avatar

The biggest problem with Scientology is that it speaks to our politicians pockets. It’s definitely and sickeningly on its way to becoming Yet Another Religion, and it does so under the cover for legislation that still allows exceptions from the law for cults even when their “fair game” policy is well-documented. It speaks volumes about why certain religious regimes are allowed to do what they do.

Scientology targets the mental health industry because that’s the target base of their most ardent supporters, they are built on targeting the mentally ill and telling them “no, this isn’t an illness you suffer that will require time and effort to treat and will always weigh on you, it’s that you are special and channeling all of these thetans, which is just another name for spirit that makes it sound less recycled” and it gets intentionally crazier as you get to the higher tiers, which requires considerable wealth, so that only the most mentally ill reach it or the most manipulative do so, with the relatively normal people on the bottom trained to win intense staredown contests to make them seem imposing for the PR when they are just empty inside and suffering from a cultural and economical form of sunk cost fallacy.

TransplantedSconie , in Cancer-Causing Benzene Is Used to Make Store-Brand Cold Relief Medicine

Can people post stuff without the pay wall please?

It would be nice to know what brand it is. 🙄

Firefox’s reader mode can usually grab the article before the paywall loads if you change it to reader mode and then hit refresh.

I would post the full text but it’s unfortunately against Rule 10.

TransplantedSconie ,

It’s not available in reader mode. I’ve tried lol

zenharbinger ,

the bot link has cvs, walmart, Walgreens in the url… that’s my guess, still not clicking it

TransplantedSconie ,

Thanks

Icalasari ,

Generic ones sold as store brands by CVS, Walmart, Target and Walgreens

Generic Mucinex

Including Walgreens’ version of Anbesol, an oral pain reliever; Walmart’s Equate brand face moisturizer with sunscreen; and Rite Aid’s version of Bengay muscle rub.

Those were the mentioned ones

silence7 OP ,

I used a gift link so that people don’t hit the paywall

Mouselemming ,

Also and perhaps more important, the benzene is used to make it slow-release. So I think if you just keep a bottle of guaifenesin around and have another dose every 4 hours you should be better off. But I’m not a pharmacist so ask yours first.

kandoh , in Rachael Lillis, 'Pokémon' actor who voiced Misty and Jessie, dies at 46

I hope she was able to get the end of life care her family was fundraising for.

Her voice was a big party of my childhood in the 90s and 00s.

46 is way too young to go so fast. Excruciating for her friends and family, I can’t imagine.

gandalf_der_12te , (edited ) in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years
@gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Did you even read the article? It says in the article that the mercury waste is actually way below the legal threshhold.

One of the major initial concerns—the wastewater’s mercury content—stems from what experts believe may be egregious typos within SpaceX’s records. Lab reports indicate polluted waters contained 0.113 μg/L of mercury, while subsequent summaries appear to misplace the decimal point to show 113 μg/L. If the former measurement is accurate, then Starship’s wastewater contains roughly 1/17th the legal mercury limit.

About people just mindlessly hating on SpaceX: SpaceX is really important for the US society as it provides vision and a specific type of stimulation that would otherwise be hard to get. What makes you think the moon landings of 1960s/1970s were great achievements, but spaceflight today is not?

You telling SpaceX to stop operation is like a fish telling a bird to stop flying, because swimming is sooo much better.

polle ,

Lol

naughtyguy17 ,

Which measurement is accurate? The former, or the latter?

You also fail to reference the next statement: “… This, however, does not explain SpaceX’s numerous other alleged reporting issues, regulatory side steps, and disregard for federal and local concerns. In a blog post last year, environmental engineer Eric Roesch also pointed to previous SpaceX water samples reports that appear to omit measurements for nickel, a toxic metal. Meanwhile, the same chart lists multiple pollutants at concentrations at or above TCEQ and EPA standards, including total suspended solids, cyanide, copper, and chromium.”

KillingTimeItself ,

What makes you think the moon landings of 1960s/1970s were great achievements, but spaceflight today is not?

probably because we literally invented digital computers for the purposes of doing it. The amount of technical construction and mathematics knowledge required to design build and manufacture the hardware of that era is lost, the space shuttle is one of the most incredible technical achievements of the US to date.

SpaceX doesn’t even use large rocket engines because they’re hard to build and impractical, but we managed them perfectly fine in the 70s

Kalysta , in Newsom threatens to take money from counties that don't reduce homelessness

Breaking up homeless encampments doesn’t fix the fact that these people have nowhere to live! What a cruel policy.

Why not emminent domain overpriced apartment buildings owned by the Saudis, Chinese, and Russians, and give the apartments away the homeless. Problem solved.

BaroqueInMind ,

Yeah, so simple!

Those apartments world devolve into a human trafficking, crime ridden drug overdose havens in no time. Mental health support for them is needed first.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You get them in a stable living arrangement first, and then that makes mental health support exponentially easier.

Housing first policies work everywhere they’re tried.

BaroqueInMind ,

Please link the studies to change my mind. Otherwise, apologies for sounding rude, but you are full of bullshit lies.

I’d appreciate if you didn’t insult me for your own ignorance.

As for studies, you could start here: www.huduser.gov/portal/…/highlight2.html

BaroqueInMind ,

Fuck yes. Thank you for this link.

lets_get_off_lemmy ,

Lol you don’t get to be rude if you apologize first.

BaroqueInMind ,

Yes I can; it’s called hypocrisy.

ByteOnBikes ,

I never understood people like you. That the moment you help someone, the result will obviously be the worst outcome? So better not help them at all?

BaroqueInMind ,

You don’t understand because your never consider the consequences of your actions.

Providing shelter for everyone is a basic human need.

But forcing mentally ill people mixed together with financially downtrodden unhoused people into a Kowloon City type environment without considering their ability to maintain their cleanliness and safety without imposing jack-booted level of policing is another level of stupid I can’t force out of you without an hours long face-to-face lecture where you and I can discuss like two friendly normal people.

I would say the pilgrams ended up alright but here we are.

“force your opinion out of you over an hours long conversation like a normal friendly person”

time for some self reflection there, baroque

i happen to agree with you too, as would i think anyone who has spent time in an american projects or shelter system, but youve so thoroughly poisoned the argument i cant take it up here.

Providing shelter for everyone is a basic human need.

I agree. So let’s start with the basic human need. Nobody suggested we stop there and wash our hands of it saying “problem solved.”

@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

Well yeah.

Just enough to convince the people that are convinced of his innocence that he’s being wrongfully punished, those who don’t bother looking into the punishment to say"yep he got punished", and it’s not like they have anything to worry about from the rest of the population who will only be upset over a light slap on the wrist but not do anything about it.

System working as intended.

unemployedclaquer ,

Wellllll… no. Optimistically. They certainly are trying to work out the statute of limitations on his various crimes versus what chargeable evidence blah blah blah

sunzu2 , in An ex-Kansas police chief who led a raid on a newspaper is charged with obstruction of justice

Just obstruction?

These clowns really can do anything and get away with it as long as they comply later?

BigMacHole , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years

So? Having Drinking Water that DOESNT make you sick is NOT Pro Life!

You’re telling me the part that doesn’t care about feeding kids, universal health care, clean water, and clean air but is pro gun, pro war, and pro forced birth isn’t Pro Life? SHOCKED!

Crikeste ,

Nowhere in the constitution does it say you get clean drinking water, sorry sweaty.

Zink ,

And for that matter it doesn’t say you get air conditioning either!

SpaceX needs to be property of the US government. He shouldn’t be allowed to control it whatsoever.

Nationalize SpaceX!

dev_null ,

Sure, but not for this reason. CNBC goofed and made this article based on a typo. The regulators didn’t find any such thing.
