Gotta be honest, I don’t get that either.

What exactly was it you expected?

I agree, but that’s not what Death of the Author means.

It’s not new information but mostly new details - tumblr has been dealing (or really, trying to deal) with this since July.

I wish anglophones wouldn’t waste precious space between the individual parts of their words.

One might argue in favour of StreitKräfte.

Edit: ah, too slow.

Consumers are advised to …

Consumers are advised to check whether tea bags in their region are even made of these materials.

Edit: Also, “billions”? The cookie warning is borked on the foodandwine.com article so I can’t read it but: https://www.dpa-international.com/trends-and-features/urn:newsml:dpa.com:20090101:250109-99-540705/ “Tea bags releasing ‘millions’ of microplastics into tea, study shows” - where does that difference come from?

Call me stupid but I don’t understand what it is you’re arguing. It doesn’t seem to have any connection to the claims made here.

Be that as it may, have a nice day, good sir/ma’am.

This is kind of amazing, I was actually, genuinely interested in what the people calling the story “fake” had to say because it’s obviously pretty out there and I have no prior knowledge about the source. Everything I got in response to asking for more information was utter dumbfuckery. Also straight up lies about what I said. Good job with the propaganda, Genossen.

The DW source (which @Lumidaub@feddit.org casts doubt on)

lolno I didn’t. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I know the DW background, I live in the country they’re based in. I’m asking if you know the background of the source you use.

Also, still waiting for anti-vax source.

? I’m not going to hunt down whatever you’re referring to.

DW money?

Source for anti-vax claim?

You do know where DW, the one source you provide, gets its money?

How so? Genuinely asking. Is that not a credible source?

Goddammit Olaf, this is probably your last chance to be vocal and present about something for once.

Demonstrating AGAIN that he hasn’t got the first idea how German politics work.

I guess?

Paywall, so no idea what it’s actually saying. Anyway: correlation =/= causation.

Apparently he thinks the AfD and Obama era Democrats have the same political positions. So. Uh. I don’t know, don’t look at me like that. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

They managed to get away with it because it says “we’ll protect your children” - like a roof. Yes it is ridiculous, we’re working on it.

I know Matt primarily from tumblr and the absolute bullshit he’s pulling over there so I’m biased. Thank you for that clarification :)
