luciddaemon , in Coffee, eggs and white rice linked to higher levels of PFAS in human body

Now is it just the coffee bean or espresso bean too, or do they bunch both into coffee?

I won’t be surprised to find out everything we eat to have PFAS in them.

FireRetardant ,

Pretty sure PFAs are in rainwater and nearly every surface level water source or unconfined aquifer. So yeah nearly everything gets exposed to them.

Kbobabob ,

What’s the difference between a coffee bean and an espresso bean? I was under the impression that espresso is just a way to brew coffee beans.

Corvidae ,

There are two primary varieties of beans, arabica beans and robusta. An expresso bean (arabica) is generally darker (roasted longer) with more visible oil.

phoneymouse ,

People make drip coffee with Arabica beans

Corvidae ,

People didn’t like my answer, so maybe this site would better explain:

Nevertheless, when you compare espresso beans vs. regular coffee beans, you’ll notice the former is always dark roasted and oily. This is not to say that regular coffee beans cannot be dark and oily. However, they can feature other characteristics as well, while for espresso beans, these qualities are non-negotiable.

GaMEChld ,

You are correct. There is no difference. The two main bean types are robusta and arabica. You can make espresso with anything. Now, bags branded as espresso are generally roasted a bit darker, as espresso using light roasts is less common traditionally, but you can still make espresso with light roasts.

Do you all remember how quickly they backed down as soon as ashley babbit was shot? (yes I known I spelled it wrong, I don't care to honor that piece of trash). A whole crowd of these fuckers. and presumably the most rabid of them, their infantry if you will. These are the cultists who spent money, time, and energy to be there. So they are also the ones with means. Also, presumably a bunch of them were carrying concealed weapons. Then one person gets shot and the entire thing crumbles. Cowards. Through and through cowards. And they think they can win a war?

thisbenzingring ,

The reaction of everyone when the shot is fired was absolutely telling. The coward that was right next to her turns and ran. Didn’t even help her or charge an attack with the absolutely massive numbers they had. They were there, at the heart of it all and they turned around and ran because the violence became real and was directed at them.

I like the way I once saw it summarized for a non-American person asking about J6:

Supporters of the fascist ex-President form angry mob threatening to kill politicians; they end up killing four police officers and one of themselves then run away.

Frozengyro ,

I’m not defending those traitors, but they didn’t kill 4 police. This is from the wiki on the event.

“Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.”

ramirezmike ,

died of natural causes?

Well, if you want the history of the Heritage Foundation, look back to the 70’s. Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell penned a memo to the US Chamber of Commerce titled “Attack on the American Free Enterprise System” in 1970, and in this memo, he detailed his concern that America’s best and brightest students were becoming anti-business because of our involvement in Vietnam. Powell’s agenda included getting wealthy conservatives to set up professorships, setting up institutes on and off campus where intellectuals would write books from a conservative business perspective, and setting up think tanks. Three years later, the Heritage Foundation was founded.

rottingleaf ,

I mean, when somebody says a threat of such kind in a situation which doesn’t yet warrant it, it’s clear they are cowards.

Make no mistake - that bloodshed they want to be done by police, national guard and such. Not their own supporters. Cause no person who says such things first wants to be shot back at.

I love how lefties are always blamed for dem losses. It couldn’t possibly be the democratic party’s fault at all for anything.

2484345508 ,

A lefty isn’t a lefty if they are willing to let it slide right because they’re sad their options are poor this year.

That’s called an accelerationist. It’s what happens when far left or far right people give up trying to change things in a traditional way, and focus on pushing society to the brink.

Lemmy (and to an extent all social media) is a breeding ground for accelerationist thinking. Most of the comments here are focused on leftist gategeeking in order to persuade them to think in that way.

AbackDeckWARLORD ,

A lefty isn’t a lefty if they are willing to let it slide right because they’re sad their options are poor this year.

I don’t see how lefties are sliding right at all.

The only job of the Democratic Party is to get votes, if they are not courting votes from demographics they need, that is 100% the party’s fault and no one else’s. The options being “poor this year” is a massive Democratic Party failing.

If the election this year is as dire as dems are claiming, why aren’t they doing a better job?

beetlejuice0001 , (edited ) in Judge says Nashville school shooter's writings can't be released as victims' families have copyright

Writings should be released to expose their motive. The judge could put an order any money made be given to the family. But the public is mature enough to read it.

Edit: Hollywood pumps out movies constantly with war and gun violence themes but suddenly we’re not mature enough to handle this? Or is it the writing of a bullied trans kid that bothers them so much? Well now we won’t know.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s not about the public’s ‘rights’ tho. It’s about the victims’ families and their rights … which in this case the judge decided on the side of the families.

I for one am glad of that because it gives the families at least some sense of control over a situation they originally had zero control over.

beetlejuice0001 , (edited )

Gun regulation is control which is declined.

A judge Giving away first amendment rights seems wrong. Making an “exception” to a law made specifically for this.

Seems to me it would only be blocked if it was embarrassing. Everyone in the shooters life could’ve failed them because they’re ’good Christian’s’. The kid could’ve also been insane but now we won’t know will we.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Ok. So how would you personally benefit from the killer’s writings being publically released?

girlfreddy OP ,

The school’s name was already published. …wikipedia.org/…/2023_Nashville_school_shooting

beetlejuice0001 ,

That doesn’t tell the public anything about why a shooting occurred.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

You stated that knowing the school’s name would help you. The school’s name is public. Therefore your ‘want’ has been fulfilled.

beetlejuice0001 ,

I wanted to know why the shooting occurred at that particular school. Nothing has been done. Especially if there was anti-trans sentiment being used against the shooter daily. It being a Christian private school would fit the narrative. Totally speculative but a person who murders their bullies instead of just killing themselves is a more believable scenario

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Then pressure the police to complete their investigation and release the findings.

beetlejuice0001 ,

That’s probably why all those groups mentioned in the article are suing

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

They’re not suing. They filed a public records request with the cops.

The ruling, filed just before midnight Thursday, comes more than a year after several groups filed public records requests for documents seized by Metro Nashville Police during their investigation into the March 2023 shooting.

brbposting ,

Maybe my would-be killer gets caught because their psychologist studied the killer’s writings and noticed a troubling pattern.

I don’t want even more manifestos glorified and memed on 4chan. I’m cognizant there’s generally a reason horrible things see the light of the public eye.

Body cam footage of someone’s worst moments of their life… release it, violate one person’s privacy, keep one officer/department accountable, public has to weigh that tradeoff.

Even releasing lottery winners’ names ruins lives, but otherwise some would assume the lottery’s fraudulent (money going to politicians’ friends)… instead of just a tax on the poor 🌈

When it comes to violence, I pretty much stop at the headlines. Watched brutal videos many years ago & I’m set for a lifetime on the bulk of true crime and also fictional violence.

I was actually wondering if materials could be released in a limited fashion: send an application, go to a reading room… try to avoid leaks but still let people get science done or whatnot.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar

You’re missing the point entirely. Releasing the material was, presumptively, part of the shooters motivation. Increasing the notoriety of the perpetrator. Releasing the material would validate the shooters motives and encourage copycats. I don’t know why you would think that’s not enough.

beetlejuice0001 ,

Presumptively

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar

It is material was reviewed by a judge, the shooters family and the victims families. If you want to say it’s presumptively a manifesto and not almost definitely a manifesto. Then use that distinction to rationalize your point, congratulations.

beetlejuice0001 ,

With the recent rulings by judges (especially in conservative states) I have no faith in judicial review.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s apples and oranges. This shooter has the potential to be the Trans version of Elliot Rodgers. Trying to attach a christo-facist motivation to this ruling is a stretch and a half.

The motivations of mass killers isn’t really relevant for anything. People capable of that level of violence are such an anomaly that other indicators are more important, from a psychological perspective, than their self-determined motives.

Largest mass killer in us history was the Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock. His motivation was that he was feeling slighted by the casinos for not getting enough perks for being a “big spender”. What is a psychologist supposed to do with that for helping prevent other mass shooters? Trying to attach some silence of the lambs bullshit to crimes like this is foolish. Even then, that’s the FBI doing it which then can be trickled out to medical journals etc. The best thing for the public is for these killer to be remembered as dead monsters.

Presuming how? My main point is that the shooters motivations is mostly irrelevant and releasing their writings dould encourage copycats. Like we actually saw with Elliot Rodgers.

What am I presuming?

beetlejuice0001 , (edited )

You’re presuming they’re a monster who did it for no reason. As they say, one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Again, speculation. You’re advocating for the Christo-Fascist withholding information

Edit: you could be right, you could be very wrong and this person may have been a victim themselves.

MisplacedAstronaut , (edited )
@MisplacedAstronaut@lemmy.world avatar

Whenever it’s a white, straight, male, shooter, (which is the majority of shooters in cases like this) all of their manifestos and videos get posted online and then the media goes around like clockwork to victimize the criminal. Especially if it turns out the while straight male shooter is also in a Christian family.

But in the extremely rare case that a person of the lgbtq community is a shooter, it becomes glaringly obvious that they were bullied and the systems in place failed them over and over again. “But we better not… for the victims families sake.”

It’s always about victimizing the straights and the religious and making the lgbtq the issue at every turn. Just like how, all of a sudden, conservatives are exclaiming how worried they are about children being around the LGBT but they are a-okay with all the child-abusing priests or their child raping president and the Christian families that basically send their children to torture camps if they so much as breathe a rainbow.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar

There’s way to small of a sample size for non-white cis male shooters for you to justify that statement. What was Nicolas Cruzes motivation? Or James Holmes? Or charles Whittmans? They’re just violent psychopaths. Attaching a logical motivation to the acts of violent psychopaths is a fools errand, regardless of the identity.

Even the bullied trope comes from the Columbine shooters and they were not bullied, they were bullies. The saturation of media coverage led to presumptions of their motives. The public making those diagnoses is harmful and increases the celebrity of the killers which will motivate the next one.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s not a presumption though, or even speculation. Was the shooter bullied by kids they killed? No, again, that’s speculation though. Even if they were bullied, it’s misplaced anger and an inability to cope with their own issues. Releasing the manifesto would validate their martyrdom.

Assuming this ruling has anything to do with a christo-facist agenda is the most egregious and, likely, wrong presumption anyone is making. If I’m defending the christo-facist you are defending the motives of a, literal, mass murder of children.

Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan ,
@Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca avatar
  1. It’s becoming less and less common. Stephen Paddocks motives weren’t released til 3 years or so later. If the Uvalde shooter had one it wasn’t released. Anything known about the Newtown shooter was found by journalists way later. The rest happen when the killer is still alive.
  2. This is the only case that I know of where the killers writings are under control of the victims families.
